With the release of the v0.13.0 update on March 10, *Fields of Mistria* now allows players to tailor the length of daytime hours. This feature is accessible to all players, 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** (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 the game will caution you that extending daytime hours might affect 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'**. Based on player observations, 'Longer' significantly extends daytime, while 'Longest' offers even more time, making it the more popular choice.

To apply your new setting, simply **have your character sleep in their bed** until the day resets. At that point, the new daytime duration will be in effect. If you wish to switch settings later, you can repeat the process.
In cozy farming simulations like *Fields of Mistria* and its predecessor *Stardew Valley*, time management is crucial. Typically, you're limited to a specific amount of time each day to manage your farm and interact with the town. Tasks such as mining can consume an entire day, necessitating careful planning to return home before exhaustion sets in. The introduction of the Teleportation Chalice has alleviated some of these issues, but the v0.13.0 update's new feature provides an even more versatile solution, much to the delight of the player community.
