Running a livestock farm in *Fields of Mistria* can be lucrative, but the daily chore of petting your animals can quickly become tedious. Fortunately, there's a solution: an auto-petter mod! While the base game doesn't include this feature, modding opens up exciting possibilities.

The *Animal Friends* mod by annanomoly on Nexus Mods is your answer. This handy mod not only automatically pets your livestock daily but also feeds them, saving you valuable time and effort. However, remember that you'll need the *Mods of Mistria Installer* – it's a prerequisite for this mod to work correctly.

Here's how to install the *Animal Friends* mod:

1. Create a new folder named "Mods" within your *Fields of Mistria* game directory.
2. Download the *AnimalFriends.zip* file and place it in the "Mods" folder.
3. Extract the contents of the zip file. You can then delete or move the original zip file.
4. Run the *Mods of Mistria Installer* to install the mod.

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

To adjust settings, locate the *AnimalFriends.json* file within the extracted mod folder. This file is a simple text document. To enable a feature, change "false" to "true". For example, to activate the auto-petter, modify the line to: ["auto-pet": true]. Disabling a feature is just as easy – simply change "true" to "false".

The friendship multiplier works slightly differently. Instead of "true" or "false," enter a numerical value between 1 and 100. A value of 100 skips the bonding process entirely; setting it to 1 disables the feature.

Note: Upon initial installation, auto-petting and auto-feeding are off by default. However, the mod does multiply heart gains from petting by five and automatically activates friendship loss prevention.

To remove the mod, avoid simply deleting the folder. Use the *Mods of Mistria Installer* to uninstall it properly, preventing potential save file corruption.

That's how to automate your livestock care in *Fields of Mistria*! Remember to back up your save game before installing any mods. While generally stable, backups are always a good precaution.

*Fields of Mistria* is available on PC.
