Raising livestock in *Fields of Mistria* can be a lucrative endeavor, but the daily task of petting them can become tedious. Fortunately, there's a way to automate this process—through the use of mods. While the base game doesn't come with an auto-petter, you can enhance your farming experience by installing the right mod.

Fields of Mistria Auto-Petter Guide

Unfortunately, *Fields of Mistria* does not include an auto-petter device in its vanilla version, requiring you to manually pet your livestock each day. However, you can bypass this by installing the Animal Friends mod created by annanomoly, available on Nexus Mods. This mod not only automates petting but also feeds your animals. To successfully install it, you'll need the Mods of Mistria Installer, which is essential for activating the mod.

To install the mod, follow these steps:

1. Create a new folder named "Mods" in the *Fields of Mistria* directory.
2. Download the AnimalFriends.zip file and place it in the Mods folder.
3. Extract the contents of the zip file.
4. Delete the original zip file or move it to another folder.
5. Run the Mods of Mistria Installer to complete the mod installation.

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

To adjust these settings, locate the AnimalFriends.json file within the unzipped mod folder. This file is a simple text document where you can activate features by changing "false" to "true." For example, to enable the auto-petter, modify the line to: "auto-pet": true. Similarly, to disable a feature, change "true" back to "false."

The friendship multiplier works differently; instead of toggling it on or off, you set a numerical value between 1 and 100. Setting it to 100 will maximize the hearts gained from each interaction, while setting it to 1 will effectively disable the feature.

Upon first installation, the mod comes with default settings where the auto-pet and auto-feed functions are not active. However, it automatically multiplies the heart points gained from petting by five and activates the prevent friendship loss feature.

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

That's all you need to know about getting 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.
