"Guide to Obtaining the Auto-Petter in Fields of Mistria"

Having livestock in *Fields of Mistria* can be a lucrative venture, but the daily chore of petting them can quickly become tedious. Fortunately, there's a solution that can automate this task—an auto-petter, although it's not available in the base game.

In the vanilla version of *Fields of Mistria*, you're required to manually pet your livestock every day. However, you can bypass this by integrating mods into your gameplay. The recommended mod for this purpose is 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 make this mod work, you'll need to install the Mods of Mistria Installer, a crucial tool for activating the mod.

To set up the mod, follow these steps:

  • Create a new folder named 'Mods' in your *Fields of Mistria* directory.
  • Download the AnimalFriends.zip file and place it into the newly created Mods folder.
  • Extract the contents of the zip file within the Mods folder.
  • Remove the original zip file or relocate it to another folder for safekeeping.
  • Launch the Mods of Mistria Installer to complete the installation of the mod.

The Animal Friends mod offers a variety of customizable features. Apart from the auto-petter, you can activate an auto-feeder, apply a friendship multiplier, and prevent friendship loss. The friendship multiplier boosts the heart points your animals gain, while preventing friendship loss ensures these points remain intact.

To tweak the settings, locate the AnimalFriends.json file inside the extracted mod folder. This file is a straightforward text document where you can adjust features by changing "false" to "true" to enable them. For example, to activate the auto-petter, you would modify the line to read: ["auto-pet": true]. To disable a feature, simply revert "true" back to "false".

The friendship multiplier setting is adjusted by entering a numerical value between 1 and 100. Setting it to the highest value can bypass the bonding process with your animals. To turn off this feature, reset the value to 1.

Upon initial installation, the mod comes with default settings where the auto-pet and auto-feed functions are inactive, but it does increase the heart points from petting by a factor of five and automatically enables the prevent friendship loss feature.

To safely remove the mod, avoid simply deleting the mod folder. Instead, use the Mods of Mistria Installer to uninstall it correctly, preventing potential corruption or errors in your save files.

That's all you need to know about implementing an auto-petter in *Fields of Mistria*. Always remember to back up your save file before installing any mods, ensuring you have a fallback option should anything go awry.
