Raising livestock in *Fields of Mistria* can be a lucrative venture, but the daily chore of petting your animals can quickly become tedious. Fortunately, there's a solution to streamline your farm management: integrating an auto-petter through the use of mods.
Fields of Mistria Auto-Petter Guide
Unfortunately, the base version of *Fields of Mistria* does not come equipped with an auto-petter feature. This means players must manually pet their livestock daily to keep them happy and productive. However, by using mods, you can automate this process and enhance your farming experience.
I recommend the "Animal Friends" mod by annanomoly, available on Nexus Mods. This mod not only auto-pets your livestock but also automatically feeds them, saving you from daily chores. To get started, you'll need to install the Mods of Mistria Installer, a crucial tool that ensures the mod functions correctly.
Installing the Mod
To install the Animal Friends mod, follow these steps:
- Create a new folder named "Mods" in your *Fields of Mistria* game directory.
- Download the AnimalFriends.zip file and place it into the Mods folder.
- Extract the contents of the zip file within the Mods folder.
- Delete or move the original zip file to another location to keep your Mods folder tidy.
- Launch the Mods of Mistria Installer and follow the prompts to install the mod.
The Animal Friends mod offers various features that you can customize to suit your needs. Besides the auto-petter, you can enable an auto-feeder, a friendship multiplier, and a feature to prevent friendship loss. The friendship multiplier boosts the heart points your animals gain from each interaction, while the prevent friendship loss ensures these points remain stable over time.
Customizing Mod Settings
To adjust the mod's settings, locate the AnimalFriends.json file within the unzipped mod folder. Open this file with a text editor, and you'll find options listed with values set to "false" or "true". 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, revert the setting back to "false".
The friendship multiplier requires a numeric input instead of a boolean value. You can set this multiplier anywhere between 1 and 100. To skip bonding time, set it to the maximum value of 100. To disable it, set it back to 1.
Upon installation, the mod comes with default settings where auto-pet and auto-feed functions are inactive, but it automatically multiplies heart points by five and activates the prevent friendship loss feature.
Removing the Mod
If you decide to remove the mod, do not simply delete the mod folder. Instead, use the Mods of Mistria Installer to uninstall it properly. This method helps prevent any corruption or errors in your save files.
That's all you need to know about setting up an auto-petter in *Fields of Mistria*. Always remember to back up your save files before installing mods to safeguard your progress. The game is available to play on PC.
