In *Fields of Mistria*, expanding your farm is crucial as you progress and need more space for crops and animals. The game's latest update, v0.13.0, introduces a Farm Expansion feature that significantly increases your farm's area by extending it across the river to the right, providing ample room for additional structures and crop fields.
How to Unlock Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria
To unlock the Farm Expansion, head over to the **Carpenter’s Shop** located in the Eastern Road area. You can purchase the expansion as early as your first year in town, but there are substantial progress requirements to meet first. You must help the town reach **Rank 55** by accumulating enough Renown points. Additionally, you need to complete the Stone Refinery repair quest, which also requires Town Rank 55. These prerequisites are interconnected, ensuring a well-paced progression in the game.
Once you've met the initial requirements, the next step involves gathering the necessary materials for the expansion. This is a significant investment, so brace yourself for some dedicated effort.
How to Build Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria
Visit the Carpenter’s Shop on the Eastern Road, northeast of Mistria’s town center. From the main menu, select 'Farm Expansion' at the bottom to view the requirements. You'll need **40,000 Tesserae** to cover the monetary cost of the upgrade. This amount will take time to accumulate, so maximize your efforts in gathering, farming, and completing quests. Regular visits to the Mines, fishing, and contributing new items to the Museum are essential.
Additionally, you'll require **50 x Refined Stone**, which involves repairing the **Stone Refinery**. This repair can only be initiated after reaching Town Rank 55 and repairing the Inn. The final material needed is **50 x Hard Wood**, which is relatively easier to obtain. With a **Copper Axe**, you can harvest Hard Wood from large tree stumps around your farm and beyond, each yielding 2 x Hard Wood. You can also acquire this material from **Balor’s Cart** on specific days or by turning in items to the Museum.
Once you've gathered all the required materials and funds, return to the Carpenter’s Shop to purchase the expansion. This will extend your farm eastward across the river, complete with a new bridge for easy access.
