Fields of Mistria Update Guide — What 1.0 Added & What's Next

Fields of Mistria's 1.0 update launched August 5, 2026 — exactly two years after Early Access began — and it was the largest content drop in the game's history. If you're returning after EA or deciding whether the full release is worth it, this guide maps what changed, the current patch state, and the post-launch roadmap.

For the gameplay itself, start with the main guide; for the marriage and family additions, see the romance guide.

The Headline 1.0 Features

  • Marriage and children — NPC heart cap raised from 8 to 10 hearts, proposals, customizable weddings (flower color, cake flavor, reception meal), and children via the Mystical Feather quest. Full detail in the romance guide.
  • Story completion — the Town Repair questline is now completable, the Renown cap was raised to 100, and a Mistril Town Rank event was added. The game has an actual ending now.
  • Fully completable museum — two new sets (Honey, Terrarium Treasures) and no more Early Access walls. See the museum guide.
  • 69 Steam achievements — retroactive on existing saves. See the achievements guide.
  • New characters — Stillwell (mission board at the Saturday Market) and Zorel (Crystal Resonators and Song Crystals for farm music). See the characters guide.
  • 7 beta localizations, a rideable Big Chicken mount, and more skill perks.
Saves carry over

NPC Studio confirmed saves transfer to 1.0 — no restart needed. Early Access players keep their farms, hearts, and progress.

The Engine Change

  • Through version 0.16.2 (July 2026), the game ran on GameMaker; the 1.0-era build switched to an in-house engine (community-documented, confirmed in the Wikipedia coverage of the game's development).
Mods may break across the engine switch

The engine migration can break older mods — check compatibility before updating if you use mods. The mods guide tracks 1.0-compatible mods.
