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, allowing for greater task completion each in-game day. This guide explains how to modify day length.

Thanks to the March 10th v0.13.0 update, you can now customize the length of daytime hours. This feature is accessible to all players, regardless of their game progress.

Begin by loading your saved game from the Main Menu. Once back on your farm, open the Pause Menu and click the Settings tab (the cogwheel icon) at the bottom. Select 'Accessibility' from the left-hand menu. At the top, you'll find the 'Day Time Speed' option, initially set to 'Standard'.

Selecting this option will display a warning that altering daytime length might affect NPC schedules, which are optimized for the 'Standard' setting. If this isn't a concern, adjust the Day Time Speed meter to either 'Longer' or 'Longest'.

Observation suggests 'Longer' provides a significant increase in daytime hours, with 'Longest' offering even more time. 'Longest' is generally preferred for maximizing playtime.

To activate the adjustment, simply sleep in your bed until the day transitions. The new daytime duration will then be in effect. To change the setting again, repeat the process.

In 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 task scheduling. Demanding activities like mining can consume an entire day, requiring careful planning to return home before nightfall. While the Teleportation Chalice addresses some of these issues, the v0.13.0 update provides a welcome solution for time constraints.
