In *Fields of Mistria*, expanding your farm is essential as you progress and need more space for crops and animals. The farm expansion feature, introduced in the v0.13.0 update, is a game-changer, allowing you to extend your farm's width across the river to a new piece of land. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to unlock and build this expansion.

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 there are significant prerequisites to meet first.

You need to help the town reach **Rank 55** by accumulating enough Renown points. Additionally, you must complete the Stone Refinery repair quest, which also requires Town Rank 55. These steps are interconnected, ensuring you're ready for the expansion.

Once these initial requirements are met, you'll need to gather the materials for the expansion, which is a substantial 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 view the requirements.

The monetary cost is **40,000 Tesserae**, which you can accumulate through various activities like gathering, farming, and completing quests. Regularly visit the Mines, fish, and contribute to the Museum to gather this amount.

You'll also need **50 x Refined Stone**, which requires repairing the **Stone Refinery**. This repair can only be done after reaching Town Rank 55 and repairing the Inn beforehand.

Lastly, gather **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. Alternatively, you can acquire this from **Balor’s Cart** on specific days or by contributing 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.
