How To Get the Auto-Petter in Fields of Mistria

Running a livestock farm in Fields of Mistria can be lucrative, but the daily chore of petting your animals can quickly become tedious. Thankfully, there's a solution: an auto-petter mod.

While the base game doesn't include this feature, modding offers a convenient workaround. The recommended mod is "Animal Friends" by annanomoly, available on Nexus Mods. This mod not only automates petting but also animal feeding. Remember, you'll need the Mods of Mistria Installer to use this mod.

Installation:

1. Create a "Mods" folder within your Fields of Mistria game directory.
2. Download AnimalFriends.zip, place it in the "Mods" folder, and extract its contents. Delete or move the original zip file.
3. Run the Mods of Mistria Installer to install the mod.

The Animal Friends mod offers customizable features: auto-petting, auto-feeding, a friendship multiplier, and prevention of friendship loss. The multiplier increases the hearts your animals gain, while the friendship loss prevention ensures those hearts remain.

Configuration (AnimalFriends.json):

To adjust settings, locate AnimalFriends.json within the extracted mod folder. This file is a simple text document. Enable features by changing "false" to "true" and disable them by changing "true" to "false".

The friendship multiplier requires a numerical input (1-100). Setting it to 100 bypasses the need for bonding, while 1 disables the feature.

Default Settings:

Upon initial installation, auto-petting and auto-feeding are disabled by default. However, the mod does increase heart points gained per petting by five and automatically activates friendship loss prevention.

Uninstallation:

To avoid potential save file corruption, use the Mods of Mistria Installer to uninstall the mod properly. Don't simply delete the mod folder.

Remember to back up your save file before installing any mods, even seemingly stable ones.

Fields of Mistria is available on PC.
