In *Fields of Mistria*, your farm is your canvas, but what do you do when you're running out of space for your crops and animals? Fear not, because the game's expansion feature is here to save the day. This guide will walk you through how to build the farm expansion in *Fields of Mistria*, ensuring you have all the room you need to grow and thrive.
How to Unlock Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria
The Farm Expansion, introduced in the v0.13.0 update, significantly increases your farm's space by extending it across the river to the right, offering a new plot for additional structures and crop areas.
You can purchase the Farm Expansion at the **Carpenter’s Shop** located in the Eastern Road area. While you can technically buy it in your first year, it comes with some hefty prerequisites.
To unlock the expansion, 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 elements are intricately linked, so plan accordingly.
Once these initial requirements are met, you'll need to gather the necessary materials. Be prepared for a substantial investment in terms of time and effort.
How to Build Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria
Head over to the Carpenter’s Shop on the Eastern Road, northeast of Mistria’s town center. Navigate to the 'Farm Expansion' option at the bottom of the shop’s main menu to view the requirements.
First, you'll need a hefty **40,000 Tesserae** to cover the monetary cost. This will take time to gather, so maximize your efforts through farming, mining, fishing, and contributing to the Museum.
Next, you'll need **50 x Refined Stone**, which involves repairing the **Stone Refinery**—a task that's unlocked at Town Rank 55 and after repairing the Inn.
Lastly, gather **50 x Hard Wood**, the easiest of the materials. 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 obtain it from **Balor’s Cart** on specific days or by turning in items to the Museum.
Once you've amassed 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.
