Thanks to the v0.13.0 update released on March 10, Fields of Mistria players can now tweak the duration of in-game daytime hours. This feature is available to all players, regardless of their progress in the game.

To begin, load your current game save from the Main Menu. Once back on your farm, open the Pause Menu and locate the Settings tab (iconed by a cogwheel) at the bottom. From the drop-down menu on the left, select ‘Accessibility’. At the top of the options, you’ll find the ‘Day Time Speed’ setting, with ‘Standard’ displayed by default. This is the default configuration for this feature.

Click on it, and the game will notify you that increasing daytime hours might affect NPC schedules, which are optimized for the Standard setting. If this doesn’t concern you, proceed to adjust the daytime speed meter to one of the two alternative options: ‘Longer’ or ‘Longest’.

Observations suggest that ‘Longer’ significantly extends the daytime period, while ‘Longest’ offers even more time. Naturally, ‘Longest’ is the preferred choice among players.

For the change to take effect, simply put your character to bed and let the day cycle naturally. Once the new day begins, the adjusted daytime duration will be active. To switch back to any of the other settings, follow the same procedure.

For fans of relaxing farming simulations like Fields of Mistria (and its iconic predecessor Stardew Valley), time is a valuable resource. Typically, players are limited to a set amount of time per day to finish tasks both on their farm and around town. Scheduling becomes crucial, especially for demanding activities such as mining, which often requires an entire day. Additionally, players must ensure they return home early enough to avoid exhaustion. Fortunately, the Teleportation Chalice addresses this issue.

With the v0.13.0 update, however, the developers have provided a practical solution that has delighted gamers worldwide.

And that’s how you change the day length in Fields of Mistria. Be sure to explore our other content for the game, including tips on earning quick cash.
