==Animal Friendship==

==Animal Friendship==

The Auto-Petter will prevent animals from losing [[Animals#Friendship|friendship]] or Mood due to lack of petting, but you will still need to interact with them to raise friendship to the maximum in a reasonable amount of time. While animals gain approximately the same Mood boost from petting, they will only gain approximately half the normal Friendship points from petting this way. Both the Mood boost and Friendship boost from the Auto-Petter stack with regular pettings from the player, so the Auto-Petter can be used to reach maximum Friendship & Mood faster than normal.

The Auto-Petter will prevent animals from losing [[Animals#Friendship|Friendship]] or Mood due to lack of petting and animals will gain approximately the same Mood boost compared to manually petting. However, they will only gain 7 pts (approximately half the normal Friendship points) from petting this way. Happiness gain from an autopetter stacks with manual, but friendship gain doesn't. <ref name="friendship" />
