"Guide to Expanding Your Farm in Fields of Mistria"

In *Fields of Mistria*, expanding your farm is crucial for accommodating more crops and animals as you progress in the game. The farm expansion feature, introduced in the v0.13.0 update, is your key to unlocking additional space. Here’s a detailed guide on how to build the farm expansion in *Fields of Mistria*.

How to Unlock Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria

The Farm Expansion extends your farm's width across the river to the right, providing a new area for structures and crop spaces. To access this feature, head to the **Carpenter’s Shop** located in the Eastern Road area. You can purchase the expansion from your first year in town, but there are specific progress requirements you need to meet first.

To unlock the Farm Expansion, your 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. These requirements are interconnected, ensuring you’re well-prepared before expanding.

Once you meet these initial criteria, gather the necessary materials for the expansion, which is a significant investment 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 see the requirements.

First, you'll need **40,000 Tesserae** to cover the cost. This amount requires diligent effort in gathering resources, farming, and completing quests. Regularly explore the Mines, engage in fishing, and contribute new items to the Museum to accumulate Tesserae.

Next, gather **50 x Refined Stone**, which involves repairing the **Stone Refinery** after reaching Town Rank 55 and repairing the Inn beforehand.

Lastly, collect **50 x Hard Wood**, the easiest material to obtain. With a **Copper Axe**, you can harvest Hard Wood from **large tree stumps** around your farm and beyond, yielding 2 x Hard Wood each. You can also acquire 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 access.
