Thanks to the v0.13.0 update released on March 10, *Fields of Mistria* now allows you to customize the duration of daytime hours. This feature is accessible to all players, 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** (represented by a cog wheel icon) at the bottom. From there, select **‘Accessibility’** from the left-hand drop-down menu. You'll find the **‘Day Time Speed’** option at the top, which defaults to ‘Standard’.
Click on it, and you'll receive a warning that extending daytime hours might affect 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 the daytime, while ‘Longest’ offers even more time, making it the preferred choice for many players.

To apply your chosen setting, simply have your character sleep in their bed until the day turns over. The new daytime duration will then be in effect. If you wish to change it again, just repeat the process.
In cozy farming sims like *Fields of Mistria* and its predecessor *Stardew Valley*, time management is crucial. Typically, you have a limited window each day to manage your farm and engage with the townsfolk. Tasks like mining can consume an entire day, requiring careful planning to return home before exhaustion sets in. While the Teleportation Chalice addresses some of these issues, the v0.13.0 update's ability to adjust daytime speed is a game-changer that has thrilled players everywhere.
