The latest v0.13.0 update for *Fields of Mistria* has introduced a host of new content, features, and quality-of-life improvements, much to the delight of its player base. One of the most anticipated additions is the ability to adjust the speed of daytime, allowing players to pack more into their in-game days. Here's your comprehensive guide on how to modify the day length in *Fields of Mistria*.
With the v0.13.0 update, released on March 10, *Fields of Mistria* now allows players to tweak the duration of daytime hours. This feature is accessible to all players, regardless of their progress in the game.
To start, load your current game save from the Main Menu. Once you're back on your farm, open the Pause Menu and navigate to the **Settings tab** (represented by a cog wheel icon) at the bottom. From there, select **‘Accessibility’** from the left-hand drop-down menu. You'll find the **‘Day Time Speed’** option at the top, initially set to ‘Standard’.
Click on it, and you'll receive a warning that extending daytime hours might affect certain NPC schedules, which are designed for the Standard setting. If this isn't a concern for you, you can adjust the daytime speed to either **‘Longer’** or **‘Longest’**. From general observations, ‘Longer’ significantly extends the daytime, while ‘Longest’ offers even more time, making it the preferred choice for many.
To apply your new settings, simply have your character sleep in their bed until the day changes. The adjusted daytime duration will then take effect. If you wish to change it again, just repeat the process.
In cozy farming sims like *Fields of Mistria* and its predecessor *Stardew Valley*, time management is crucial. Players typically have a limited window each day to manage their farm and engage with the townsfolk. Tasks such as mining can consume an entire day, necessitating careful planning to return home before exhaustion sets in. The introduction of the Teleportation Chalice has alleviated some of these time constraints, but the v0.13.0 update's day length adjustment feature is a game-changer that has been warmly welcomed by the community.
