If you're curious about how to tweak the day length, here's a comprehensive guide to help you navigate through this new functionality in *Fields of Mistria*.
How to Adjust Day Time Speed in Fields of Mistria
Thanks to the v0.13.0 update released on March 10 for *Fields of Mistria*, players now have the power to customize the length of daytime hours. This feature is accessible to all players, irrespective of their progress in the game.
To begin, start by loading your current game save from the Main Menu. Once you're back on your farm, access 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’.
Upon selecting this option, the game will display a warning that lengthening the daytime hours might affect certain NPC schedules, which are optimized for the Standard setting. If this doesn't concern you, you can adjust the daytime speed meter to either **‘Longer’** or **‘Longest’**.
Based on general observations, ‘Longer’ significantly extends the daytime, while ‘Longest’ offers an even greater extension. For those looking to maximize their daily activities, ‘Longest’ is the preferred choice.
To apply these changes, simply have your character sleep in their bed until the day changes. The new daytime duration will then be in effect. If you wish to revert or further adjust the settings, you can repeat the process outlined above.
In cozy farming sims like *Fields of Mistria* and its predecessor *Stardew Valley*, time is a valuable resource. Players typically have a limited window each day to manage their farm and engage with the town. Activities such as mining often consume an entire day, requiring careful planning to return home before collapsing. While the Teleportation Chalice alleviates some of these time constraints, the v0.13.0 update introduces a more comprehensive solution that has been warmly welcomed by the player community.
