How Is The Stardew Valley Auto Grabber Useful?.There was however a misconception that it was only preventing hearts from dropping and the wiki page looked a bit different than it does now.

Nope, it was like that from when it was introduced in 1.5 which is when I conducted my first tests. The auto petter used to prevent lost of friendship only. But expect it to be a slow process, like I mentioned Must be in one of the recent updates. So yeah, you can rely entirely on the auto-petter when it comes to gaining hearts with your animals. 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. However, they will only gain approximately half the normal Friendship points from petting this way. Originally posted by ChrillBill:Out of curiousity I looked up the wiki page and this is actually what is says about the auto-petter and friendship: The Auto-Petter will prevent animals from losing Friendship or Mood due to lack of petting and animals will gain approximately the same Mood boost compared to manually petting.

If you have a coop with say 6 chickens (3 white and 3 brown) and 6 ducks, that can result in a total of 24 different items if you take into account the quality and also the size of the chicken eggs which will change once you have reached a sufficient level of friendship with them. While it's true that the auto-grabber has 36 slots, meaning it can store up to 36 different items, it can hold huge stacks of those 36 different items. Of course, you can plan ahead and make extra auto harvesters later depending on how often you want to check on the animals and how many you have (3 animals in your barn with an auto grabber gives you 12 days of 'hands off time') That's incorrect. It harvests and stores up to 36 items, meaning that once it fills up, no one will be picking up after your animals anymore. Originally posted by Mist of Majora:One last bit - the auto grabber is definitely useful, but it's not COMPLETELY hands off. I hope this helps :brownchicken: Thanks that helps a lot! It can also be obtained by killing monsters or breaking crates/barrels in the mines during a late game quest called 'Danger In The Deep' and after activating the 'Shrine of Challenge' which you can only do once you have finished the 'Danger In The Deep' quest. But if you went with the Community Center route, it is only obtainable through treasure chests in the skull cavern. It is quite easy to obtain if you went with the Joja route. There is another machine called the auto-petter. The actual 'having to pat' is a different matter. You can then collect everything from the auto-grabber whenever you want. They will suck up every animal product (even wool) and collect it on a daily basis.
