Raising livestock in *Fields of Mistria* can be a lucrative venture, but the daily petting requirement can quickly become tedious. Fortunately, there's a solution to automate this chore: introducing an auto-petter to your farm. However, since the base version of *Fields of Mistria* doesn't include this feature, you'll need to turn to mods to enjoy this convenience.
Fields of Mistria Auto-Petter Guide
If you're looking to bypass the daily petting routine in *Fields of Mistria*, the Animal Friends mod by annanomoly on Nexus Mods is your best bet. This mod not only introduces an auto-petter but also takes care of feeding your animals, saving you even more time. To get started, you'll need to install the Mods of Mistria Installer, a crucial component for activating the mod.
Here's how you can set up the mod:
- Create a new folder called 'Mods' within your *Fields of Mistria* game files.
- 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.
- Launch the Mods of Mistria Installer to complete the mod installation.
The Animal Friends mod comes packed with various features. Besides the auto-petter, you can enable the auto-feeder, a friendship multiplier, and a feature to prevent friendship loss. The friendship multiplier boosts the number of hearts your animals can gain, while the prevent friendship loss feature ensures that once gained, hearts don't diminish.
To customize the mod's settings, locate the AnimalFriends.json file within the extracted mod folder. This file is a simple text document where you can toggle features by changing "false" to "true." For instance, to activate the auto-petter, modify the setting to ["auto-pet": true]. To disable any feature, revert "true" back to "false."
Adjusting the friendship multiplier involves setting a number between 1 and 100. If you prefer to skip the bonding process with your animals, set it to the highest number. To disable this feature, simply change it back to 1.
Upon installation, the mod comes with default settings: the auto-pet and auto-feed functions are initially inactive, but it does apply a fivefold multiplier to the heart points gained from petting and automatically activates the prevent friendship loss feature.
If you decide to remove the mod, don't just delete the mod folder. Use the Mods of Mistria Installer to uninstall it properly to prevent any corruption or errors in your save file.
That's all you need to know about setting up an auto-petter in *Fields of Mistria*. Always remember to back up your save file before installing mods to ensure a smooth gaming experience.
*Fields of Mistria* is available to play on PC.
