Thanks to the v0.13.0 update released on March 10, *Fields of Mistria* players now have the power to modify the length of daytime hours, enhancing their gameplay experience. 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 the left-hand drop-down menu, select **‘Accessibility’**. At the top, you’ll find the **‘Day Time Speed’** option, which defaults to ‘Standard’.

Click on it, and the game will caution you that altering the daytime hours might disrupt certain NPC schedules, which are designed 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’ offers even more time. If you're looking to maximize your productivity, ‘Longest’ is the preferred choice.

To apply your chosen setting, simply have your character sleep in their bed until the day transitions. Once the new day begins, your adjusted daytime duration will take effect. If you wish to change it again, just follow the same steps.

In cozy farming sims like *Fields of Mistria* and its renowned predecessor *Stardew Valley*, time management is crucial. With a limited window each day to perform tasks on your farm and in town, strategic planning becomes essential. Tasks like mining often consume an entire day, requiring careful timing to ensure you return home before exhaustion sets in. The Teleportation Chalice offers a solution to this specific challenge, but the v0.13.0 update addresses the broader issue of time management, much to the delight of players everywhere.
