How to Obtain the Auto-Petter in Fields of Mistria

Raising livestock in *Fields of Mistria* can be a lucrative way to earn in-game currency, but the daily petting requirement can become tedious. If you're looking to streamline your farm operations, an auto-petter could be the solution you need—unfortunately, the base game doesn't offer this feature. However, you can achieve this convenience by integrating mods into your gameplay.

Currently, *Fields of Mistria* does not include an auto-petter device in its vanilla version. This means that daily petting of your livestock remains a manual task. However, modding can solve this issue, and I recommend the Animal Friends mod by annanomoly, available on Nexus Mods. This mod not only automates petting but also feeds your animals, enhancing your farm management. To ensure the mod functions correctly, you must use the Mods of Mistria Installer, a crucial tool for activating the mod.

To install the mod, follow these steps:

• Create a new folder named "Mods" in the *Fields of Mistria* directory.
• Download the AnimalFriends.zip file and place it in the Mods folder.
• Extract the zip file and then delete or move the original zip file elsewhere.
• Launch the Mods of Mistria Installer to finalize the installation of the mod.

The Animal Friends mod comes with various customizable features. Apart from the auto-petter, you can enable an auto-feeder, a friendship multiplier, and a feature to prevent friendship loss. The friendship multiplier increases the affection level of your animals, measured in hearts, while the prevent friendship loss ensures that these hearts do not diminish over time.

To customize these settings, locate the AnimalFriends.json file within the mod's extracted folder. This file is a simple text document where you can activate features by changing "false" to "true". For instance, to enable the auto-petter, you would modify the setting to ["auto-pet": true]. Similarly, to disable a feature, revert "true" to "false".

The friendship multiplier requires a numerical input, adjustable between 1 and 100. Setting it to the highest number can expedite bonding with your animals, whereas setting it to 1 will effectively disable this feature.

Upon initial installation, the mod defaults to certain settings: auto-pet and auto-feed are inactive, but the friendship multiplier is set to five, and the prevent friendship loss is automatically enabled.

To remove the mod, simply deleting the mod folder isn't enough. Use the Mods of Mistria Installer to properly uninstall the mod, avoiding potential save file corruption or errors.

This guide covers all you need to know about installing an auto-petter in *Fields of Mistria* through modding. Always back up your save files before modding to safeguard your game progress, even though the mod is generally stable.

*Fields of Mistria* is available to play on PC.
