Thanks to the v0.13.0 update, released on March 10, players of *Fields of Mistria* can now fine-tune the duration of the in-game day. 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**, marked by a cog wheel icon at the bottom. From there, select **‘Accessibility’** in the left-side drop-down menu. At the top of this section, you'll find the **‘Day Time Speed’** option, which defaults to ‘Standard’.

Selecting this option will prompt a warning that lengthening daytime hours might affect certain NPC schedules, optimized for the Standard setting. If this isn’t a concern for you, you can then adjust the daytime speed to either **‘Longer’** or **‘Longest’**. From general observations, ‘Longer’ significantly extends the daytime, while ‘Longest’ offers even more time, making it the preferred choice for many players.

To activate your new setting, simply have your character sleep in their bed until the day turns over. Upon waking, the adjusted daytime duration will be in effect. To switch to another setting, just follow the same process again.

In cozy farming sims like *Fields of Mistria* and *Stardew Valley*, time management is crucial. With only a limited number of hours in a day to manage your farm and interact with the townsfolk, every minute counts. Lengthy tasks like mining can consume an entire day, requiring careful planning to ensure you return home before collapsing from exhaustion. The introduction of the Teleportation Chalice has helped mitigate some of these time-related challenges, but the v0.13.0 update's day length adjustment feature offers a more direct solution, much to the delight of players everywhere.
