"Guide to Obtaining the Auto-Petter in Fields of Mistria"

Raising livestock in *Fields of Mistria* can be a lucrative venture, but the daily chore of petting them can become tedious. Fortunately, there's a solution to automate this task: adding an auto-petter to your farm.

Fields of Mistria Auto-Petter Guide

Unfortunately, the base version of *Fields of Mistria* does not include an auto-petter device. This means players must manually pet their livestock every day. However, there's a workaround for those willing to venture into the world of mods.

I recommend using the Animal Friends mod by annanomoly, available on Nexus Mods. This mod not only introduces an auto-petter but also an auto-feeder for your animals. To install this mod, you'll need the Mods of Mistria Installer, a crucial supporting program. Skipping this step will prevent the mod from activating.

To get started, 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 contents of the zip file.
• Delete or move the original zip file to another location.
• Run the Mods of Mistria Installer to install the mod.

The Animal Friends mod comes with a variety of features. Besides the auto-petter, you can activate an auto-feeder, a friendship multiplier, and a feature to prevent friendship loss. The friendship multiplier increases the number of hearts your animals gain, while the prevent friendship loss feature ensures that these hearts do not diminish over time.

To customize these features, locate the AnimalFriends.json file within the unzipped mod folder. This file is a simple text document where you can enable or disable features by changing "false" to "true" or vice versa. For example, to enable the auto-petter, you would modify the line to ["auto-feed": true].

The friendship multiplier requires a numerical input, ranging from 1 to 100. Setting it to 100 will maximize the hearts gained from each petting, effectively skipping the bonding process. To revert, simply set it back to 1.

Upon installation, the mod defaults to a setting where auto-pet and auto-feed are inactive, but it does multiply heart points by five and activates the prevent friendship loss feature.

If you decide to remove the mod, do not simply delete the mod folder. Instead, use the Mods of Mistria Installer to uninstall it properly, preventing any corruption or errors in your save file.

That's all you need to know about adding an auto-petter in *Fields of Mistria*. Always back up your save file before installing mods to ensure stability.

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