Raising livestock in *Fields of Mistria* can be a lucrative way to make money, but the daily chore of petting them can become tedious. If you're looking to streamline your farm operations, adding an auto-petter could be the solution you need.

Unfortunately, the base version of *Fields of Mistria* does not include an auto-petter device. This means you'll have to manually pet your livestock each day if you're sticking to the vanilla game. However, there's a workaround: mods. By using mods, you can introduce an auto-petter to your farm.

I recommend installing the Animal Friends mod by annanomoly, available on Nexus Mods. Not only does this mod allow for automatic petting of your livestock, but it also automates their feeding. To get it working, you'll need to use 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 the *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 to another location.
• Run the Mods of Mistria Installer to finalize the installation of the mod.

The Animal Friends mod offers a variety of features that can be toggled on or off. Besides the auto-petter, you can activate an auto-feeder, a friendship multiplier, and a feature to prevent friendship loss. The friendship multiplier increases the heart points your animals gain, while the prevent friendship loss feature ensures those hearts don't decrease over time.

To customize these settings, locate the AnimalFriends.json file within the unzipped Animal Friends mod folder. This file 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 the setting to ["auto-pet": true]. To disable a feature, simply change "true" back to "false."

Adjusting the friendship multiplier is slightly different. Instead of toggling, you input a number between 1 and 100. Setting it to 100 maximizes the effect, allowing you to quickly bond with your animals. To disable the multiplier, revert it to 1.

Upon first installing the mod, some default settings are active. The auto-pet and auto-feed functions are off by default, but the mod does increase the heart points gained from petting by five times and automatically enables 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, preventing any potential corruption or errors in your save file.

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 can revert if needed.
