The v0.13.0 update for *Fields of Mistria* has brought a wealth of new content, features, and quality-of-life improvements to enhance your gaming experience. One of the most anticipated changes is the ability to adjust the daytime speed, allowing players to accomplish more within each in-game day. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to change the day length in *Fields of Mistria*.
How to Adjust Day Time Speed in Fields of Mistria
With the v0.13.0 update released on March 10, *Fields of Mistria* now allows you to customize the duration of daytime hours. This feature is accessible to all players, regardless of their progress in the game.
To begin, 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** (represented by a cog wheel icon) at the bottom. From the left-hand drop-down menu, select **‘Accessibility’**. At the top of this menu, you'll find the **‘Day Time Speed’** option, which defaults to ‘Standard’.
Click on it, and you'll receive a warning that extending daytime hours might 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 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 changes. The adjusted daytime duration will then take effect. If you wish to change it again, just repeat the process.
In cozy farming sims like *Fields of Mistria* and its predecessor *Stardew Valley*, time management is crucial. You typically have a limited window each day to manage your farm and engage with the town. Tasks like mining can consume an entire day, and you must plan your schedule carefully to avoid passing out. While the Teleportation Chalice helps with this issue, the v0.13.0 update's ability to adjust daytime speed is a game-changer that has thrilled players worldwide.
