The v0.13.0 update, released on March 10 for *Fields of Mistria*, introduces the ability to modify the duration of daytime hours. This feature is accessible to all players, regardless of their progress in the game.
To begin, load your current save from the Main Menu. Once you're back on your farm, access the Pause Menu and navigate to the **Settings tab** (identified by a cog wheel icon) at the bottom. From there, select **‘Accessibility’** from the left-side drop-down menu. At the top, you'll find the **‘Day Time Speed’** option, which defaults to ‘Standard’.
Select this option, and the game will notify you that extending daytime hours could impact certain NPC schedules, which are designed for the Standard setting. If this doesn't concern you, you can adjust the daytime speed to either **‘Longer’** or **‘Longest’**. Observations suggest that ‘Longer’ significantly extends daytime, while ‘Longest’ provides even more time, making it the preferred choice for many.

To apply the new setting, have your character sleep in their bed until the next day. The adjusted daytime duration will then be in effect. To switch settings again, simply repeat the process.
In cozy farming sims like *Fields of Mistria*, and its well-known predecessor *Stardew Valley*, time management is crucial. Players typically have a limited window each day to manage their farm and engage in town activities. Lengthy tasks such as mining can consume an entire day, necessitating careful scheduling. While the Teleportation Chalice alleviates some of these time constraints, the v0.13.0 update's introduction of adjustable daytime speed is a welcomed solution that has thrilled players across the board.
