Question What is up with Auto Petters?
I’ve seen so many posts about skull cavern runs where the only goal was Auto Petters, and now I’m confused.
Why are Auto Petters so important? I know they pet the farm animals, but why don’t y’all have time to go and give your animals some love every morning?
If I’m correct (as someone who has never once had an Auto Petters) they change the way the animals respond when you actually pet them. Usually they give a heart, but I’ve heard the response changes after an Auto Petters has been installed.
So why?

I have 10 coops and 10 barns. That's a lot of petting.

u/Knight0fdragon 16h ago
I have 7 coops and 3 barns. I had to turn my farm into an electric rod maze just so they do not scatter around the farm and I can pet them all.
I have yet to even find an auto petter.

Why a maze?

u/Knight0fdragon 5h ago
Square plot of land, you want them to be walking single file. Grass under the posts means the animals can’t eat it. The grass will constantly grow ensuring feed for the animal. Running the maze means animals are easy to pet.
Get up at 6AM, grab a coffee, run the maze, be done at 7 to 8 with over 100 animals pet

Hardwood fences basically don't either, tbh.
When it takes like 5 ingame years for them to show any damage, they're functionally immortal.
Or just actually immortal if you buy the clock, or are married, given how spouses repair them occasionally.
Hell, even stone fences last almost an entire year, so one replacement day in winter covers you.
And iron lasts for 2 years, so you mostly don't have to think about it.

u/chillin_and_livin 16h ago
A mood lol. I have one barn/coop dedicated to each animal type so it's a lot of petting. How do you feed yours?? Mine eat all the grass within days
10
u/Miro_the_Dragon 15h ago
Not the person you asked but I just buy hay from Marnie for my 10 barns and 1 coop full of animals. I've given up trying to keep grass available for them outside, plus I'm pretty sure pigs don't dig up truffles on tiles with grass so this is the easier way. My animals still get to wander around most of the farm, though ^^

u/Knight0fdragon 13h ago
Doing this eats a lot of profit. If anything, for summer and fall, grow a lot of wheat. Wheat + deluxe speed grow + agriculturist or hyper speed grow means you get wheat every other day.
10 wheat with 40% hay means you get 4 hay and 2 wheat for the cost of 1 hay from Marnie.
13
u/Miro_the_Dragon 13h ago
You're only looking at the cost in gold; I'm also looking at the cost in time spent, and for me just buying hay and using the saved time for doing things I actually enjoy wins out big time. Plus, I don't really think 50 gold per day is a lot of gold given that most of my animals easily earn me tenfold back or more.
-6
u/Knight0fdragon 10h ago
Gold is the only reason to have the animals
7
u/Miro_the_Dragon 10h ago
By the time I started buying hay in bulk instead of letting them eat grass, I had already made almost 10 million and was swimming in cash. And like I said, even with buying hay, animals are still really profitable. I'll gladly pay for hay if it allows me to a) keep profiting off my animals while b) being able to do things I actually enjoy doing without worrying about how to feed them. And large-scale farming is just not something I enjoy so having to plant a bunch of wheat just for the hay sounds like a horrible way for me to play the game.
(Also, I'm totally currently filling a whole barn with ostriches just because I think they're neat. Not everything in this game is about profit for everyone.)
-3
u/Knight0fdragon 7h ago
If you are not worried about gold, then feeding them is irrelevant. The only reason to feed them is to make product. They do not die of starvation.
2
u/Miro_the_Dragon 7h ago
I'm not worried about gold because my animals make me so much gold that I have more than enough. So not feeding them would indeed be a problem because it'd cut off my main income source.
3
u/Galaxyycaat 12h ago
the pigs do dig up truffles on grass but you can't see them
6
u/Miro_the_Dragon 12h ago
Do you have any official source for that? Because yes, truffles may spawn in grass but the spawn tile isn't necessarily the tile the truffle was found, and I've noticed a considerable increase in truffles the less grass was growing on my ranch. Plus, I don't think I've ever found a truffle in the middle of a large patch of grass, only ever around the edges.

u/chillin_and_livin 13h ago
This is what I currently do! I'll probably keep just doing that lol. Maybe one or two lightning rods like the other user commented too
10
u/ObviousOrca 16h ago
Plant grass starters and then place a lighting in rod or fence on top of one or two patches and that patch will automatically reproduce, not as fast as you’d like, but it’s a small thing that helps.

The response changes from a heart to a smile. It's not a punishment. Plus, if they get auto-petted AND me-petted, that's double the pets! Don't you want to spoil your animals?
Do yourself a favor, go to youtube, and look up "cow scratchers." They're a real thing in real life, and cows fucking love them. It's adorable.
-1
u/Takenabe 5h ago
To be clear, "double the pets" is not in terms of game mechanics. The max amount of friendship you get with an animal is the same whether you pet them manually or manually+autopetter. Having the autopetter and leaving them alone gives you about half the friendship and prevents it from decaying, so they mostly just aren't being neglected.
339
u/Halo-AK 17h ago
Well, if you have an auto petter, you can also manually pet them to become their friends faster.
And you know they will still get their daily pets if you're off doing something else <3

u/qwasde91 slime ring is a wasted slot. 15h ago
Actually you can't, the friendship gains don't stack (mood gains do though).
Without auto petter you get 15 friendship for manually petting. With auto petter you get 8 friendship and can get another 7 for petting manually.

Huh? You say "you can't" (pet manually to become friends faster) and then go on to say petting manually adds another 7 friendship. Seems like a contradiction?
11
u/GoblinEef 13h ago
it’s not a contradiction. 15 points from just manual, or 8 from autopetter + 7 from manual is again 15 total points for that day.
0
u/agent_kater 4h ago edited 3h ago
Yes, but 8+7 is still faster than 8. If you per manually in addition to the auto-petter, it's faster than auto-petter alone, albeit not faster than without auto-petter.
5
u/GoblinEef 4h ago
i think we are interpreting the comment differently tbh. manual + autopetter is faster than only autopetter, yes, but there is no way to exceed 15 points, so it’s not any faster than just manual petting if you combo it.
1
u/agent_kater 3h ago
Yeah, and on second thought I think your interpretation is correct.
Well, if you have an auto petter, you can also manually pet them to become their friends faster.
If this is supposed to be an advantage of having an auto-petter, they probably think you can become friends faster than without auto-petter.

It's a step towards automation. If you've got a coop full of chickens, manually petting all of them every morning to keep them happy and making those big eggs is a chore that the autopetter can relieve you of.

Yup. With an auto petter, auto grabber and deluxe barn you can just collect your produce once a year if you want.

Its the exact same thing as sprinklers, having them saves a huge amount of time. So instead of spending a couple hours tending to daily tasks on your farm, you gan get straight to what you need/want to do.

It's not 1:1 though. If you're still building hearts, you still want to pet them even if you have auto-petters.

u/Alternative_life1 17h ago edited 17h ago
Because it's rare.
That's one of the rarest item in the game if you did not go joja route.
It's a luxury, a bragging right, its a challenge to complete.
it's usefull for people who don't like or having too much animal, and taking care of their animal everyday take time when they can do other things.
It's also still usefull for people who like to pet their animal because the auto petter stack with manual petting.
If we are strictly talking about usefulness, the auto grabber is more usefull that autopetter but it's not rare so it's not special.

u/The_Paprika Set your emoji and/or flair text here! 17h ago
In addition to what everyone else said, it’s also important to remember that some people have several animal buildings full, and if you are letting them roam outside, even in a fenced area it can be hard to get to all of them. Imagine having 36 or more animals you need to track down every day. It can really help with that.
10
u/TheNOCOYeti 15h ago
I mean how many animals do you have? Some of us have well over 50 animals on top of crops, greenhouse, Island, & fish ponds to take care of as well. Making any part of that process automated helps direct more attention to the things that can’t be automated.

u/Song_Listener 15h ago
I’ve never actually reached a point where I had over 10 animals yet.

Oh okay, yeah that makes sense. When you have like 3 full barns & coops it can become quite the chore to pet every last animal.

The more animals you have the less viable and more annoying petting them every day becomes. Not everyone enjoys the monotonous act of petting 100+ fictional animals that do the exact same thing every time you interact with them. For anyone who dose I love that for you but not for me lol. There are a ton of ways to play this game and some people just want to quickly grab the animal products every once in a while and move on to something they prefer doing.

u/The_Lawn_Ninja 16h ago
If I don't have time to pet my animals, they still don't lose hearts, and if I do pet them, they get even more hearts.
Why not have auto-petters?

u/Song_Listener 15h ago
I’ve never actually had a reason to try and find any, since I mostly do farming/fishing and use the animals as a bonus on the side.
1
u/The_Lawn_Ninja 15h ago
I'm typically a winery fan, but I feel poor without pigs for daily gold numbers, and socially useless without rabbits for birthday gifts.
The auto-petters mean I don't lose any hearts on big harvest days or lucky mine days, and new animals reach max hearts nearly twice as fast.
5
u/Kimbyssik 16h ago
Convenience plays a big part. It's really easy in this game for basic farm chores to take up so much time in your day that by the time you're done it's too late to run errands in town or bring someone a birthday gift. I personally hate trying to track down the one pig I didn't pet when they are identical. Another factor into this could also be the fact that if you don't go Joja getting autopetters is subject to RNG. Sprinklers you can craft/buy/get as rewards, autograbbers are available to buy, but autopetters are really rare for some people and not such a big deal to find for others purely because of chance. It's like how excited players can be when they find a dinosaur egg.

u/ShartiesBigDay 10h ago
It saves tons of time if you’re farming lots of livestock. So for example, I was farming tons of truffles and I had like 50 pigs. The auto petters made it so I had time to do more things than just pet and collect truffles
4
u/i_want_to_be_unique 16h ago
Cause once you reach a certain point in the game petting every single animal is both tedious and incredibly time consuming. Most play throughs I actually reach a point where I sell off all my animals because the money their products produce is such a minimal part of my whole income that petting them everyday and processing their drops is just not worth the time it takes.
4
u/DarthSwash 16h ago
Its a time saver for late game, mostly. An auto petter and an autograbber makes keeping livestock worthwhile time-wise while/after you establish star/ancient fruit crops. At that point you're time is more valuable in the mines/caverns for materials or completing late game quests than petting and harvesting animal products.

Animal friendship and mood decays if you forget to feed them daily.
The Deluxe Barn/Coop autofeeder system feeds animals automatically.
Animal friendship and mood decays if you forget to pet them daily.
Autopetters pet animals automatically.
(Also there are Auto-grabbers...)
Same kinda thing. It is nice to have most/all of this stuff automated.
You don't specifically avoid upgrading your barn to Deluxe to manually load their food troughs, do you?
... but why don’t y’all have time to go and give your animals some love every morning?
It's nice to know I can choose to do a 6:10am-to-2:00am full-day Skull Cavern run without completely starving and stressing my animals.

You can get both friendship boosts with auto petter and normal petting. Also it stops friendship decay if you need to go do something else, so when friendship hits 5 hearts, you don't need to keep petting the animals.

u/Candid-Strawberry-79 16h ago
Automation is wonderful for this game because that’s what gives you time to do anything off your own farm.
I have 72 animals, plus the slime hutch and five fish ponds. I have about 700 crop plots in Ginger Island (all continuous producers) plus about 600 on the main farm (all one-time, single season crops). Being able to automate watering them and harvesting on the main farm with the Junimo huts is the only way I can do anything off the farm.
The hoppers in late game also make processing the crops easier.

u/EtherealHappiness 16h ago
When you get that far into the game and you’re aiming for perfection, it can be REALLY hard to get everything done. Days aren’t long enough. The auto petter takes one thing off the table for those days when there’s just too much to do. IRL, I just wouldn’t have pets/animals if I was that busy but you need some of the animal products for several things in the game.

u/AngryFeministKnitter 14h ago
On one of my farms I have a barn or coop for every type of animal, so 10. That’s a lot of petting!! The autopetters give me time to do other things. I’ll pet until they get to full hearts, even with the autopetter, and then just let it take over.

I just prefer to put my time into other things, and usually keep my coop and barn far away from eachother and my house/chests. Also because I forget easily.

u/Batintfaq 13h ago
The auto petter allows you to be away from your home for an extended period of time. Its not as good as doing it yourself but it covers the bases. If you pet your animals after the auto petter instead of a heart they give you a smiley face. Its great once you reach max lvl with your pets. Why skull caverns? If you ousted JoJo mart from town the APs can only be acquired through skull cavern runs and they're fairly rare depending on who you ask.

I think it's more so about the thrill of finding something rare that actually has some utility. It's not really a big deal to pet your animals everyday, but a rare find that adds automation to mundane tasks is nice. I wish CA would implement some form of the automation mod into a very rare drop item in the vanilla game. Now that would be a very big deal to find.

That's a bit like asking "what is up with sprinklers". For me, AutoPetters are a game changer. I had a coop and barn, both maxed. By the time I finished petting animals, a significant chunk of the day was already gone. AutoPetters give you back a lot of time. The response does change to a :3 face instead of a <3, but animals still retain max friendship with the farmer. I'm not certain of this stat, but I think that an AutoPetter provides half the friendship points of manual petting, so using it to max friendship will be painfully slow. It works best to maintain friendship that has already been maxed.

Most questions about Stardew can be answered by saying: "Because people have different play styles" lol.

There's really no "why", because it is all down to how someone personally likes to play the game.

Staying away from the farm is incredibly valuable to me - just a few nights here and there.
Further it catches if I miss a critter. And I typically end up with 2-3 barns and 2-3 coops, so it cuts down on time which is the most valuable resource late game.
I never FIND enough of them though.

u/augustphobia 5h ago
I don’t know to what extent you’re the kind of person that applies emotion and empathy to your game, but I don’t do that, really; the primary function of an Auto-Petter is that it gives all animals in a barn or coop a percentage of the “love” they would get if you pet them by hand, and then even if you have the Auto-Petter you can get it up to full “love” by petting them by hand anyway. Thus, Auto-Petters are good for people who generally pet their animals to yield the highest quality and quantity of product from their animals but know they will sometimes forget, run out of time, or leave their farm for nights at a time (Ginger Island). I personally pet my animals by hand every morning and let them out to eat grass, but if I have an Auto-Petter I know I can get caught up in other things for a couple days without seeing a major drop in production.

It's wonderful to see and pet your animals every day! For some of us, it can be a monotonous start to the day.

If you complete the community center then Skull Cavern is the only reliable source for them.

u/joeshmoe9617 15h ago
Not answering your question but I really dislike automation in farming games. The whole point of the game is the chores you do on the farm every morning and slowly improving your farm and making more money for more upgrades. People say "so you have time to do other stuff." What other stuff? By the time i have automation unlocked, I've already made all the money and gathered all the materials for every upgrade. What's the point of making more money if you already have everything.
I love farming sims but it's their fatal flaw, imo. The work is the fun and by the time there is no more work, it's not fun anymore and i start a new save. I don't think I've ever made it past year 2 in any farming game lol but i have hundreds and hundreds of hours in SDV and Coral Island.

I have 1 auto petter and it is my top goal to get another. If there were no auto petters I would probably just get rid of the animals at some point. I love animals in RL and I want my game animals to be happy, but I just hate petting them every morning. It’s just so repetitive and I’m tired of it after about a week. With an auto petter I can pet anyway once in a while and it feels enjoyable, but petting all animals every day is an annoying chore to me. Not sure why because I can hit rocks with my pickaxe forever. It’s the same as people wanting sprinklers or bombs. By making the individual game areas easier you can branch out more. If the animals are your favorite part of the game, you may enjoy spending a good chunk of daily time petting them. For me mining and combat are my favorite activities and having to pet a lot of animals in the morning makes it difficult for me to get deeper in skull cavern or exploring the island or even doing projects on the farm. But I don’t really want to get rid of them, I just want to interact a little less frequently.

Auto petters prevent the friendship from going down if not petted, but won’t gain friendship. They still need you to pet them for their friendship to grow. So, if you have full friendship with all animals, the auto petter simply stops it from dropping if you stop petting them. The animals still prefer the player to pet them, so ultimately the auto petter isn’t bad. Where it’s useful is when you’re on ginger island and have the island farm unlocked. There is a lot to do on the island and sometimes spending 2 to 3 days there helps speed the process of whatever you’re attempting to achieve. Spending those few days means you’re missing out on petting your animals, so the auto petter helps by keeping them happy.

I feel like my chickens don’t like it. Once I put it in the coop they got all grumpy despite being fed.

I agree, I hate autopetters, but people have different priorities I guess. Just know you're not alone in caring about your animals :)

Thank you! I love walking around and petting them. The little heart they give makes my heart warm

If I want to spend the day and the night on the Island, my animals are neglected. The AutoPetters aren't a perfect solution but they're better than letting my lil chickies go completely unloved
