With the v0.13.0 update released on March 10, *Fields of Mistria* now allows players to customize the length of daytime hours. This feature is accessible to everyone, 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** (indicated by the cog wheel icon) at the bottom. From there, select **‘Accessibility’** from the left-hand drop-down menu. At the top, you'll find the **‘Day Time Speed’** option, which defaults to ‘Standard’.

When you select this option, the game will display a warning that extending daytime hours may disrupt certain NPC schedules, which are optimized for the Standard setting. If this isn't a concern for you, you can then adjust the daytime speed meter to either **‘Longer’** or **‘Longest’**. From general observations, ‘Longer’ significantly extends the daytime, while ‘Longest’ provides an even greater extension, making it the preferred choice for many players.

For the new settings to take effect, simply have your character sleep in their bed until the day turns over. Once you wake up, the adjusted daytime duration will be active. If you wish to change it again, you can follow the same steps.

In cozy farming sims like *Fields of Mistria* and its iconic predecessor *Stardew Valley*, time management is crucial. Players typically have a limited window each day to perform various tasks on their farm and engage with the townsfolk. Activities such as mining can consume an entire day, requiring careful planning to return home before exhaustion sets in. While the Teleportation Chalice addresses some of these challenges, the v0.13.0 update's introduction of adjustable daytime speed has been a game-changer, much to the delight of players everywhere.
