In *Fields of Mistria*, expanding your farm is essential for accommodating more crops and animals. The Farm Expansion feature, introduced in the game's v0.13.0 update, is your solution to this problem. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to build the farm expansion in *Fields of Mistria*.
How to Unlock Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria
The Farm Expansion increases the width of your farm by extending it across the river to the right, providing additional land for structures and crop spaces. To unlock this feature, head to the **Carpenter’s Shop** located on the Eastern Road. You can purchase the expansion as early as your first year, but it comes with significant progress requirements.
First, you must help the town reach **Rank 55** by earning enough Renown points. Additionally, you need to complete the Stone Refinery repair quest, which also requires Town Rank 55 to unlock. These requirements work in tandem, setting the stage for your farm's expansion.
Once these initial requirements are met, focus on gathering the necessary materials for the expansion. Be prepared for a substantial investment, as this will be one of the largest 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 shop’s main menu, select ‘Farm Expansion’ at the bottom to view the requirements for the expansion.
You'll need **40,000 Tesserae** to cover the monetary cost. Accumulating this amount will take time, so maximize your efforts in gathering, farming, and completing quests. Regularly visit the Mines, fish when possible, and contribute new items to the Museum.
Next, you'll need **50 x Refined Stone**, which involves repairing the **Stone Refinery**. This repair can't be done until you reach Town Rank 55 and have already repaired the **Inn**.
Lastly, gather **50 x Hard Wood**, the easiest material to obtain. With a **Copper Axe**, you can harvest Hard Wood from the **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 have all the materials and money ready, return to the Carpenter’s Shop and purchase the expansion. This will expand your farm eastward across the river, complete with a new bridge for easy access.
That's how you build the farm expansion in *Fields of Mistria*. For more tips and guides on the game, including crafting Essence Stones, be sure to explore our other content.
