Having livestock in *Fields of Mistria* can be a lucrative venture, but the daily chore of petting them can become tedious. Fortunately, there's a solution to this issue: installing an auto-petter through mods.

Unfortunately, the vanilla version of *Fields of Mistria* does not include an auto-petter device, requiring players to manually pet their livestock every day. However, with the help of mods, you can automate this process. We recommend using the Animal Friends mod by annanomoly, available on Nexus Mods. This mod not only adds an auto-petter but also an auto-feeder for your animals. To use this mod, you'll need the Mods of Mistria Installer, which is essential for activating the mod.

To install the mod, follow these steps:

1. Create a new folder named "Mods" in your *Fields of Mistria* directory.
2. Download the AnimalFriends.zip file and place it in the Mods folder.
3. Extract the contents of the zip file into the Mods folder.
4. Delete or move the original zip file to another location.
5. Run the Mods of Mistria Installer to complete the installation of the mod.

The Animal Friends mod offers several customizable features. In addition to the auto-petter and auto-feeder, you can enable a friendship multiplier and prevent friendship loss. The friendship multiplier boosts the hearts your animals gain, while preventing friendship loss ensures that these hearts do not diminish over time.

To adjust these settings, locate the AnimalFriends.json file within the unzipped Animal Friends mod folder. This file is a simple text document where you can toggle features on or off by changing "false" to "true." For example, to activate the auto-petter, you would modify the line to ["auto-pet": true]. Similarly, to disable a feature, change "true" back to "false."

The friendship multiplier requires you to input a number between 1 and 100. Setting it to a higher number can accelerate bonding with your animals, while setting it to 1 will disable the feature.

Upon first installation, the mod comes with default settings where the auto-pet and auto-feed functions are inactive, but it does multiply heart points gained from petting by five and automatically activates the prevent friendship loss feature.

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 to avoid any corruption or errors in your save file.

That's everything you need to know about adding an auto-petter to your farm in *Fields of Mistria*. Always back up your save file before installing any mods to ensure stability.
