In *Fields of Mistria*, expanding your farm is crucial for accommodating more crops and animals. The farm expansion feature, introduced in the v0.13.0 update, significantly increases your farm's space by extending it across the river to the right. This guide will walk you through the process of unlocking and building the farm expansion.
How to Unlock Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria
To unlock the farm expansion, head to the **Carpenter’s Shop** located in the Eastern Road area. Although you can purchase it as early as your first year in the game, you need to meet certain prerequisites. First, help the town achieve **Rank 55** by accumulating enough Renown points. Additionally, you must complete the **Stone Refinery repair quest**, which also requires reaching Town Rank 55. These requirements are interconnected, ensuring you're ready for the expansion.
Once you've met these criteria, the next step is gathering the necessary materials. Be prepared for a substantial investment, as this is one of the largest projects in the game.
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’ to view the requirements. You'll need **40,000 Tesserae** to cover the cost, which you can earn through various activities like gathering, farming, and completing quests. Regularly visit the Mines, fish, and contribute to the Museum to accumulate this sum.
Additionally, you'll need **50 x Refined Stone**. To obtain this, you must first repair the **Stone Refinery**, which becomes available at Town Rank 55, and also repair the **Inn** beforehand.
The final requirement is **50 x Hard Wood**, the easiest material to gather. With a **Copper Axe**, chop **large tree stumps** on your farm and beyond, each yielding 2 x Hard Wood. You can also find this material at **Balor’s Cart** on specific days or by donating items to the Museum.
Once you have all the required materials and funds, return to the Carpenter’s Shop and purchase the expansion. This will extend your farm eastward across the river, complete with a bridge for easy access.
