With the release of the v0.13.0 update on March 10, *Fields of Mistria* players can now fine-tune the length of their in-game days. This feature is accessible to all players, regardless of where they are in their game journey.
To begin, start by loading 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) located 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’.
Click on it, and you'll be cautioned that extending daytime might disrupt certain NPC schedules, which are designed for the Standard setting. If that's not a concern for you, feel free to adjust the daytime speed to either **‘Longer’** or **‘Longest’**.
From player observations, ‘Longer’ offers a significant extension of daytime, while ‘Longest’ stretches it even further, making it the preferred choice for those looking to maximize their in-game time.

To apply your new daytime setting, simply have your character sleep in their bed until the next day. Once the day turns over, the new duration will be in effect. If you decide to change it again, just follow the same steps.
In cozy farming sims like *Fields of Mistria* and its predecessor *Stardew Valley*, time management is crucial. With only a limited amount of time each day to tend to your farm and engage with the townsfolk, every minute counts. Tasks like mining can consume an entire day, and careful planning is essential to return home before exhaustion sets in. Thankfully, the Teleportation Chalice has alleviated some of these time constraints.
The introduction of the day length adjustment in the v0.13.0 update has been met with widespread enthusiasm, offering a solution that significantly enhances the gameplay experience.
