# Love

Love accounts for 1/3 of Mood with a maximum score of 200. Players can increase their Genopet's Love score up to its maximum of 200 by Petting their Genopet.

**Petting** is the player action which can increase Love. Love decays 100 points every 24 hours starting from the time of the last successful Petting action. When Love is 0, a Genopet's Mood is effectively capped at 1/3 of its possible maximum.
