Raising livestock in *Fields of Mistria* can be a lucrative venture, but the daily chore of petting your animals can quickly become tedious. If you're looking to streamline your farming operations, consider adding an auto-petter to your farm. However, the vanilla version of *Fields of Mistria* does not include this feature, requiring players to pet their livestock daily. Fortunately, there's a modding solution that can save you time and effort.
Fields of Mistria Auto-Petter Guide
To incorporate an auto-petter into your *Fields of Mistria* farm, you'll need to utilize mods. I recommend the Animal Friends mod developed by annanomoly, available on Nexus Mods. This mod not only introduces an auto-petting feature but also includes an auto-feeder for your livestock. Before you can enjoy these benefits, you'll need to install the Mods of Mistria Installer, which is essential for activating the mod.
To install the Animal Friends mod, follow these steps:
- Create a new folder named "Mods" within your *Fields of Mistria* game directory.
- Download the AnimalFriends.zip file and place it in the Mods folder.
- Extract the contents of the zip file into the Mods folder.
- Delete or move the original zip file to a different location.
- Launch the Mods of Mistria Installer to activate the mod.
The Animal Friends mod comes with several features that can enhance your gameplay. In addition to the auto-petter, you can enable an auto-feeder, a friendship multiplier, and a feature to prevent friendship loss. The friendship multiplier increases the rate at which your animals gain hearts, while the prevent friendship loss feature ensures that your efforts are not wasted.
To customize these settings, locate the AnimalFriends.json file within the extracted mod folder. This file is a simple text document where you can activate or deactivate features by changing "false" to "true." For example, to enable the auto-petter, you would modify the setting to ["auto-feed": true]. Similarly, to disable a feature, change "true" back to "false."
The friendship multiplier works differently, requiring you to input a numerical value between 1 and 100. Setting it to a higher number can accelerate bonding with your animals, while setting it back to 1 will disable the feature.
Upon initial installation, the mod comes with default settings where the auto-pet and auto-feed functions are not active, but it does increase the heart points gained from petting by five times and automatically activates the prevent friendship loss feature.
If you decide to remove the mod, it's crucial not to 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 file.
That's all you need to know about setting up an auto-petter in *Fields of Mistria*. Always remember to back up your save file before installing any mods, ensuring a safe and enjoyable gaming experience.
*Fields of Mistria is available to play on PC.*
