How to Change Day Length in Fields of Mistria

The major v0.13.0 update for Fields of Mistria introduces exciting new content, features, and quality-of-life improvements. A highly anticipated addition is the ability to adjust daytime speed, significantly impacting your daily task completion. This guide explains how to modify the day length.

Thanks to the March 10th v0.13.0 update, you can now control the duration of in-game days. This feature is accessible to all players, regardless of their progress. To begin, load your saved game from the Main Menu. Once on your farm, open the Pause Menu and click the Settings tab (the cog wheel icon) at the bottom. Then, select ‘Accessibility’ from the left-hand menu. You'll find the ‘Day Time Speed’ option near the top, initially set to ‘Standard.’

Selecting this option will display a warning: altering the daytime length might affect NPC schedules, which are optimized for the Standard setting. If you're okay with this, adjust the meter to either ‘Longer’ or ‘Longest.’ ‘Longer’ provides a noticeable increase in daytime hours, while ‘Longest’ offers even more time. Many players find ‘Longest’ to be the most beneficial.

To activate the new daytime duration, simply sleep in your bed until the day changes. Repeat this process to switch between settings as needed. For players of cozy farming sims like Fields of Mistria (and its popular predecessor, Stardew Valley), time management is crucial. The limited time per day often necessitates careful scheduling of tasks. Previously, lengthy activities like mining consumed an entire day, requiring careful planning to return home before nightfall. While the Teleportation Chalice helps, this update offers a more comprehensive solution.
