With the v0.13.0 update rolled out on March 10, *Fields of Mistria* now allows players to modify the length of daytime hours. This feature is accessible to all players, regardless of where they are in their game journey.

To start, load your current save from the Main Menu. Once you're back on your farm, open the Pause Menu and navigate to the **Settings tab** (indicated by a cog wheel icon) at the bottom. From the left-side drop-down menu, choose **‘Accessibility’**. You'll find the **‘Day Time Speed’** option at the top, set to ‘Standard’ by default.

Select this option, and you'll receive a warning that extending daytime may disrupt certain NPC schedules, which are tuned for the Standard setting. If this doesn't concern you, you can adjust the daytime speed to either **‘Longer’** or **‘Longest’**.

From player observations, ‘Longer’ significantly extends the daytime, while ‘Longest’ offers an even greater extension. The ‘Longest’ setting is generally preferred for those looking to maximize their daily productivity.

To apply your chosen setting, simply have your character sleep in their bed until the next day begins. The new daytime duration will then be in effect. If you decide to adjust it again, just follow the same steps.

In cozy farming simulators like *Fields of Mistria*—and its well-known predecessor *Stardew Valley*—time management is crucial. Typically, you're allotted a fixed amount of time each day to manage your farm and engage with the townsfolk. Time-consuming activities like 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 pressures, but the v0.13.0 update's new feature has been a game-changer for many players.
