In *Fields of Mistria*, expanding your farm is crucial as you progress and need more space for your crops and animals. The farm expansion feature, introduced in the game's v0.13.0 update, allows you to significantly increase your farm's size by extending it across the river to the right, providing a new plot of land for additional structures and crop spaces.
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. You can purchase this upgrade as early as your first year, but there are some prerequisites you need to meet.
First, you must help the town achieve **Rank 55** by accumulating enough Renown points. Additionally, you'll need to complete the **Stone Refinery repair quest**, which also requires Town Rank 55. These steps are interconnected, so make sure to prioritize reaching the necessary rank.
After meeting these initial requirements, you'll need to gather the materials required for the expansion. Be prepared for a significant investment of time and resources.
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’ to view the requirements for the upgrade.
You'll need **40,000 Tesserae** to cover the monetary cost. Accumulate this amount through farming, gathering, and completing quests. Make frequent visits to the Mines, fish whenever possible, and contribute to the Museum to earn more Tesserae.
Next, you'll need **50 x Refined Stone**. To obtain this, you must repair the **Stone Refinery**, which requires reaching Town Rank 55 and repairing the **Inn** beforehand.
Finally, gather **50 x Hard Wood**, the easiest material to acquire. Once you have a **Copper Axe**, you can chop **large tree stumps** on your farm and beyond, each yielding 2 x Hard Wood. You can also obtain Hard Wood from **Balor’s Cart** on certain days or by turning in 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.
