I’m somewhere around year 8 on my community center save and still haven’t found a single autopetter. Apparently I’d need to spend significantly more time in the caverns to get just one autopetter than I had to spend in them to complete the entirety of the perfection tracker. I’m looking forward to being able to buy some from joja.
I’m planning on trying for three autopetters on that save at some point (one for each of my farm buildings) but we’ll see how long it takes to get those…
