How To Get the Auto-Petter in Fields of Mistria

Running a livestock farm in *Fields of Mistria* can be lucrative, but the daily chore of petting your animals can quickly become tedious. Fortunately, there's a solution: an auto-petter mod!

While the base game doesn't include an auto-petter, modding offers a convenient workaround. We recommend the "Animal Friends" mod by annanomoly, available on Nexus Mods. This mod not only automates petting but also feeds your animals, saving you valuable time.

Important Note: You'll need the "Mods of Mistria Installer" to use this mod. Don't skip this step!

Installing the Animal Friends Mod

1. Create a new folder named "Mods" within your *Fields of Mistria* game directory.
2. Download the "AnimalFriends.zip" file and place it in the "Mods" folder.
3. Extract the contents of the zip file. You can then delete or move the original zip file.
4. Run the "Mods of Mistria Installer" to install the mod.

The Animal Friends mod offers several customizable features: auto-petting, auto-feeding, a friendship multiplier, and prevention of friendship loss. The multiplier increases the hearts your animals gain, while the friendship loss prevention ensures those hearts remain.

Customizing Mod Settings

To adjust settings, locate the "AnimalFriends.json" file within the extracted mod folder. This file is a simple text document. To enable a feature, change "false" to "true". For example, to enable auto-petting, modify the line to: "auto-pet": true. Disabling a feature is the reverse—change "true" to "false".

The friendship multiplier requires a numerical input (1-100). A higher number accelerates bonding; setting it to 1 disables the feature.

Default Settings: Upon initial installation, auto-petting and auto-feeding are off. However, the mod will multiply heart gains from petting by five and automatically activates friendship loss prevention.

Removing the Mod

To remove the mod, do not simply delete the folder. Use the "Mods of Mistria Installer" to uninstall it properly, preventing potential save file corruption.

Remember to back up your save file before installing any mods, even seemingly stable ones. It's always a good precaution.

Fields of Mistria is available on PC.
