The major v0.13.0 update for *Fields of Mistria* has introduced a host of exciting new content, features, and quality of life improvements, eagerly awaited by players. One of the standout additions is the ability to adjust daytime speed, allowing you to pack more activities into your in-game day. If you're curious about how to tweak the day length, here's a comprehensive guide to help you do just that.
Thanks to the v0.13.0 update released on March 10, *Fields of Mistria* now offers players the flexibility to adjust the length of daytime hours. This feature is accessible to everyone, no matter where you are in your game progression.
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** (the cog wheel icon) at the bottom. From the left-hand drop-down menu, select **‘Accessibility’**. You'll find the **‘Day Time Speed’** option at the top, which defaults to ‘Standard’.
Click on it, and you'll receive a warning that lengthening daytime hours may disrupt certain NPC schedules, which are optimized for the Standard setting. If this isn't a concern for you, you can adjust the daytime speed to either **‘Longer’** or **‘Longest’**. Observations suggest that ‘Longer’ significantly extends daytime, while ‘Longest’ offers even more time, making it the preferred choice for many players.
To implement your new setting, have your character sleep in their bed until the next day. The new daytime duration will then take effect. If you wish to change it again, simply repeat the process.
In cozy farming sims like *Fields of Mistria* and its spiritual predecessor *Stardew Valley*, time is a valuable resource. Typically, you're limited to a certain number of hours each day to manage your farm and engage with the community. Tasks like mining often consume an entire day, requiring careful planning to return home before you collapse. The introduction of the Teleportation Chalice has alleviated some of these time constraints, but the v0.13.0 update offers a broader solution that has thrilled the player base.
