With the v0.13.0 update released on March 10 for *Fields of Mistria*, you now have the power to customize the duration of your daytime hours. This feature is accessible to all players, no matter where you are in your journey.

To start, boot up your current 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’** in the left-hand drop-down menu. You’ll find the **‘Day Time Speed’** option at the top, initially set to ‘Standard’.

When you select it, the game will alert you that extending daytime might affect NPC schedules, which are tailored for the Standard setting. If this doesn't bother you, you can adjust the daytime speed to either **‘Longer’** or **‘Longest’**. From general observations, ‘Longer’ significantly extends the day, while ‘Longest’ offers even more time, making it the more popular choice among players.

To implement your new setting, simply have your character sleep in their bed until the next day begins. The adjusted daytime duration will then take effect. If you wish to revert or further modify the setting, just repeat the process.

In cozy farming sims like *Fields of Mistria*—and its spiritual predecessor *Stardew Valley*—time is a valuable resource. You usually have a limited window each day to manage your farm and engage with the townsfolk. Tasks like mining can consume an entire day, requiring careful planning to return home before exhaustion sets in. While the Teleportation Chalice addresses some of these time constraints, the v0.13.0 update's ability to alter day length is a game-changer that has thrilled players worldwide.
