"How to Obtain the Auto-Petter in Fields of Mistria"
Raising livestock can be a lucrative venture in *Fields of Mistria*, but the daily petting requirement can become tedious. An auto-petter would be the perfect solution, yet it's not included in the vanilla game. Fortunately, mods offer a way around this issue, making farm management smoother and more enjoyable.
Fields of Mistria Auto-Petter Guide
If you're playing the base version of *Fields of Mistria*, you'll have to manually pet your livestock every day. However, there's a workaround: the Animal Friends mod by annanomoly, available on Nexus Mods. This mod not only introduces an auto-petter but also an auto-feeder for your animals. To get it working, you'll need the Mods of Mistria Installer, which is essential for activating the mod. Skipping this step will prevent the mod from functioning correctly.
To install 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 in the Mods folder.
- Extract the contents of the zip file.
- Delete or move the original zip file elsewhere.
- Run the Mods of Mistria Installer to complete the installation.
The Animal Friends mod comes with several features you can toggle. 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 boosts the hearts your animals earn, while the prevent friendship loss option ensures these hearts don't diminish over time.
To adjust these settings, locate the AnimalFriends.json file within the unzipped mod folder. This file is a straightforward text document. To activate a feature, simply change "false" to "true." For example, to enable the auto-petter, modify the line to: ["auto-feed": true]. To disable a feature, change "true" back to "false."
The friendship multiplier requires a numerical input, ranging from 1 to 100. Setting it to the maximum value can expedite bonding with your animals. To revert, set it back to 1.
Upon first installation, the mod defaults to certain settings: the auto-pet and auto-feed functions are initially disabled, but it automatically multiplies heart points by five and activates the prevent friendship loss feature.
To safely remove the mod, don't just delete the mod folder. Instead, use the Mods of Mistria Installer to uninstall it properly, preventing any potential corruption or errors in your save file.
That covers everything you need to know about adding an auto-petter to your farm in *Fields of Mistria*. Always back up your save file before installing mods to safeguard your progress. The game is available on PC, and with the right mods, you can enhance your farming experience significantly.
