Raising livestock in *Fields of Mistria* can be a lucrative venture, but the daily task of petting them can become tedious. Fortunately, there's a way to automate this chore with an auto-petter, but it requires using mods since the base game does not include this feature.
Fields of Mistria Auto-Petter Guide
If you're playing the vanilla version of *Fields of Mistria*, you'll need to pet your livestock daily. However, you can bypass this by installing the Animal Friends mod created by annanomoly, available on Nexus Mods. This mod not only automates petting but also feeds your animals. To make it work, you'll need to use the Mods of Mistria Installer, which is essential for activating the mod.
Here's how to install the mod:
- Create a new folder named "Mods" within your *Fields of Mistria* game files.
- Download the AnimalFriends.zip file and place it in the Mods folder.
- Extract the zip file and then 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 on or off. 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 gain, while preventing friendship loss ensures these hearts don't diminish over time.
To adjust these settings, find the AnimalFriends.json file in the extracted mod folder. This is a simple text document where you can activate features by changing "false" to "true." For example, to enable the auto-petter, you would modify it to ["auto-feed": true]. To disable a feature, revert "true" to "false."
The friendship multiplier requires a numeric input, ranging from 1 to 100. Setting it to the maximum number can skip bonding with your animals. To disable it, set the multiplier back to 1.
Upon installation, the mod comes with default settings where auto-pet and auto-feed functions are inactive, but it does increase heart points from petting by five times and activates the prevent friendship loss feature.
To uninstall the mod safely, use the Mods of Mistria Installer rather than simply deleting the mod folder. This helps prevent any save file corruption or errors.
That's all you need to know about setting up an auto-petter in *Fields of Mistria*. Always back up your save file before installing any mods to ensure stability.
*Fields of Mistria* is available to play on PC.
