"Auto-Petter Guide: Unlocking in Fields of Mistria"

Having livestock in *Fields of Mistria* can be a lucrative endeavor, but the daily chore of petting them can become tedious. Fortunately, there's a solution to streamline this process: the addition of 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 that in the vanilla game, you'll need to pet your livestock manually each day. However, there's a workaround available through the use of mods.

I recommend installing the Animal Friends mod by annanomoly, available on Nexus Mods. This mod not only automates the petting of your livestock but also takes care of feeding them. To get started, you'll need to use the Mods of Mistria Installer, a required program for activating the mod. Skipping this step will prevent the mod from working correctly.

To install the mod, follow these steps:

• Create a new folder named "Mods" within 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 complete the installation process.

The Animal Friends mod comes with several features that you can customize. In addition to the auto-petter, you can enable the auto-feeder, a friendship multiplier, and a feature to prevent friendship loss. The friendship multiplier increases the number of hearts your animals have, while the prevent friendship loss feature ensures that the hearts you've gained remain intact.

To adjust these settings, locate the AnimalFriends.json file within the extracted mod folder. This file is a simple text document where you can toggle features on or off. To activate a feature, change "false" to "true." For example, to enable the auto-petter, modify the setting to ["auto-feed": true]. To disable a feature, revert the setting to "false."

The friendship multiplier operates differently; instead of toggling, you input a number between 1 and 100. Setting it to the maximum number can significantly speed up bonding with your animals. To disable this feature, set the multiplier back to 1.

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

If you decide to remove the mod, simply deleting the mod folder is not enough. Use the Mods of Mistria Installer to uninstall it properly, avoiding 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 any mods to ensure a safe and stable experience.

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