The v0.13.0 update, released on March 10, introduces a pivotal feature to *Fields of Mistria*: the ability to adjust the game’s daytime duration. This feature is accessible to all players, regardless of their progression in the game.

To start, load your current game 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 there, select **‘Accessibility’** in the left-side drop-down menu. You'll find the **‘Day Time Speed’** option at the top, initially set to ‘Standard’.

Upon selecting it, the game will alert you that extending daytime hours might affect certain NPC schedules, which are optimized for the Standard setting. If this doesn't concern you, you can adjust the daytime speed to either **‘Longer’** or **‘Longest’**.

From general observations, ‘Longer’ significantly extends the daytime, while ‘Longest’ provides 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 in effect. To switch settings again, just repeat the process.

In cozy farming sims like *Fields of Mistria* and its predecessor *Stardew Valley*, time management is crucial. Players typically have a limited window each day to tend to their farm and interact with the town. Tasks such as mining can consume an entire day, and timely returns home are necessary to avoid passing out. While the Teleportation Chalice addresses some of these challenges, the v0.13.0 update's day length adjustment feature is a game-changer that has thrilled the player base.

This guide wraps up how to change day length in *Fields of Mistria*. For more tips and tricks, including strategies on how to make money fast, be sure to explore our other content dedicated to the game.
