Raising livestock in *Fields of Mistria* can be a lucrative venture, yet the daily task of petting them can become tedious. Fortunately, there's a solution: installing an auto-petter on your farm. However, the base version of *Fields of Mistria* does not include this feature. To bypass this, you can turn to mods.
For an auto-petter experience in *Fields of Mistria*, I recommend the Animal Friends mod by annanomoly, available on Nexus Mods. This mod not only automates petting but also takes care of feeding your animals. To get started, you'll need to download the Mods of Mistria Installer, a crucial tool for activating the mod.
To install the mod, follow these steps:
The Animal Friends mod offers various customizable features including an auto-petter, auto-feeder, a friendship multiplier, and a feature to prevent friendship loss. The friendship multiplier increases the affection level of your animals, while preventing friendship loss ensures that the hearts you've gained remain intact.
To tweak these settings, locate the AnimalFriends.json file within the unzipped mod folder. This file contains simple text that you can edit to activate features. For example, to enable the auto-petter, change "false" to "true" next to the appropriate setting. To disable a feature, revert "true" back to "false".
Adjusting the friendship multiplier involves entering a number between 1 and 100. Setting it to the maximum can bypass the need for regular bonding with your animals. To disable this feature, simply set it back to 1.
Upon installation, the mod comes with default settings where auto-pet and auto-feed functions are off, but it multiplies heart points gained from petting by five and automatically activates the prevent friendship loss feature.
To safely remove the mod, do not simply delete the mod folder. Instead, use the Mods of Mistria Installer to uninstall it properly, preventing any potential corruption or errors in your save file.
That's all you need to know about adding an auto-petter to your *Fields of Mistria* farm. Always back up your save file before installing mods to ensure stability.
