Thanks to the v0.13.0 update released on March 10 for *Fields of Mistria*, players now have the power to customize the duration of daytime hours. This feature is accessible to everyone, regardless of their progress 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** (identified by the cog wheel icon) located at the bottom. From there, select **‘Accessibility’** in the left-hand drop-down menu. At the top, you'll find the **‘Day Time Speed’** option, initially set to ‘Standard’.
When you select it, the game will alert you that extending daytime hours could disrupt 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’**. Observations suggest that ‘Longer’ significantly extends daytime, while ‘Longest’ provides even more time, making it the more popular choice.

To activate your chosen setting, have your character sleep in their bed until the next day begins. The new daytime duration will then take effect. If you wish to revert or try another setting, simply repeat the process.
In cozy farming simulators like *Fields of Mistria*—and its esteemed predecessor *Stardew Valley*—time management is crucial. Typically, players have a limited window each day to manage their farm and engage in town activities. Tasks such as mining can consume an entire day, necessitating careful planning to return home before exhaustion sets in. While the Teleportation Chalice offers a solution to the latter issue, the v0.13.0 update's ability to adjust daytime speed provides a versatile tool that players are thrilled to utilize.
