With the release of the v0.13.0 update on March 10, *Fields of Mistria* now allows players to tweak the duration of daytime hours, a feature accessible to everyone, regardless of their progress in the game.

To begin, load 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** (indicated 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’, which is the default setting.

When you select this option, the game will alert you that lengthening daytime hours might affect certain NPC schedules, which are optimized for the Standard setting. If this doesn't concern you, feel free to adjust the daytime speed meter to either **‘Longer’** or **‘Longest’**. Based on observations, ‘Longer’ significantly extends the daytime, while ‘Longest’ offers even more time, making it the preferred choice for many players.

To apply the new setting, simply have your character sleep in their bed until the day turns over. The adjusted daytime duration will then be active. If you wish to switch back or try a different setting, just repeat the process.

For fans of cozy farming sims like *Fields of Mistria* and its predecessor *Stardew Valley*, managing time efficiently is crucial. Typically, you have a limited window each day to tend to your farm and engage with the townsfolk. Tasks such as mining can consume an entire day, requiring careful planning to return home before exhaustion sets in. While the Teleportation Chalice helps mitigate this issue, the v0.13.0 update introduces a much-welcomed solution that has players thrilled.
