Raising livestock in *Fields of Mistria* can be a lucrative venture, but the daily chore of petting them can become tedious. A solution to this issue is the use of an auto-petter, which unfortunately, isn't available in the base game. However, you can achieve this functionality with the help of mods.

-----------------------------------While *Fields of Mistria* does not include an auto-petter in its vanilla version, requiring daily petting of your livestock, you can circumvent this by installing mods. I recommend the Animal Friends mod by annanomoly, available on Nexus Mods. This mod not only auto-pets your livestock but also auto-feeds them. To use it, you'll need to install the Mods of Mistria Installer, which is essential for the mod to function properly.
To install the mod, 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 into the Mods folder.
- Delete or move the original zip file to another location.
- Run the Mods of Mistria Installer to activate the mod.
The Animal Friends mod offers several features including an auto-petter, auto-feeder, friendship multiplier, and a feature to prevent friendship loss. The friendship multiplier boosts the hearts your animals gain, while the prevent friendship loss ensures those hearts don't diminish over time.
To customize the settings, locate the AnimalFriends.json file within the mod's folder. This file is a straightforward text document where you can toggle features by changing "false" to "true". For example, to enable the auto-petter, modify the line to: ["auto-pet": true]. To disable a feature, simply change "true" back to "false".
The friendship multiplier requires you to input a number between 1 and 100. Setting it to 100 allows for maximum bonding with minimal effort, whereas setting it back to 1 disables the feature.
Upon installation, the mod comes with default settings where the auto-pet and auto-feed functions are inactive, but it automatically multiplies heart points from petting by five and activates the prevent friendship loss feature.
To uninstall the mod, do not simply delete the mod folder. Instead, use the Mods of Mistria Installer to properly uninstall it, preventing any potential corruption or errors in your save file.
That's all you need to know about implementing 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.*
