Thanks to the v0.13.0 update released on March 10, *Fields of Mistria* now offers players the ability to tweak the duration of daytime hours. This feature is accessible to all players, regardless of their progression in the game.

To get started, 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** (identified by the cog wheel icon) at the bottom. From the left-side drop-down menu, select **‘Accessibility’**. At the top of this menu, you'll find the **‘Day Time Speed’** option, which defaults to ‘Standard’.

Select the **‘Day Time Speed’** option, and you'll be warned that altering the daytime length may affect certain NPC schedules, which are optimized for the Standard setting. If this isn't a concern for you, you can adjust the daytime speed meter to either **‘Longer’** or **‘Longest’**. Observations suggest that ‘Longer’ significantly extends daytime, while ‘Longest’ provides an even greater increase, making it the preferred choice for many.

To apply your new daytime duration, simply have your character sleep in their bed until the next day begins. The new settings will then take effect. If you wish to change the setting again, you can repeat the process at any time.

In cozy farming sims like *Fields of Mistria* and its predecessor *Stardew Valley*, time management is crucial. With only a limited window each day to tend to your farm and engage with the townsfolk, strategic planning is essential. Tasks such as mining can consume an entire day, and without tools like the Teleportation Chalice, returning home before exhaustion becomes a challenge. The v0.13.0 update's introduction of adjustable daytime speed is a game-changer, offering players more flexibility and control over their daily schedules.
