In *Fields of Mistria*, expanding your farm is essential as your agricultural and animal husbandry needs grow. The game's v0.13.0 update introduced a Farm Expansion feature, enabling you to extend your farm's width across the river to a new plot of land. This expansion is perfect for adding more structures and crop spaces to meet your farming ambitions.
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 the expansion as early as your first year, but you'll need to meet some prerequisites first. The town must reach **Rank 55** by accumulating enough Renown points. Additionally, you need to complete the Stone Refinery repair quest, which also requires Town Rank 55, so these steps go hand in hand.
Once you've met these initial requirements, the next step is to gather the materials needed for the expansion. This is a significant investment, so be prepared for a bit of a grind.
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.
You'll need **40,000 Tesserae** to cover the monetary cost of the upgrade. Accumulating this amount will take time, so maximize your efforts in gathering resources, farming, and completing quests. Regularly visit the Mines, fish whenever you can, and contribute new items to the Museum.
Next, you'll need **50 x Refined Stone**, which requires you to repair the **Stone Refinery**. This repair can only be done after reaching Town Rank 55 and after you've repaired the **Inn**.
Finally, gather **50 x Hard Wood**, the easiest material to collect. 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 obtain this material from **Balor’s Cart** on certain days or by turning in enough 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.
That's how you build the farm expansion in *Fields of Mistria*. For more tips and guides, be sure to explore our other content, including how to craft Essence Stones.
