What’s new in the 1.0 update
Fields of Mistria left early access on August 5, 2026. Here is what the 1.0 update added, where each piece of it lives on this site, and the answers to the questions players ask first.
The short answers
From the studio’s own 1.0 FAQ and release announcement.
- When did 1.0 release?
- August 5, 2026, after two years in early access.
- Is it still in early access?
- No. 1.0 is the full release.
- Do I need to start a new save?
- No. Saves carry over, and all the new content is reachable however far along you are.
- Did the price go up?
- No. The studio said it does not plan to raise the price for 1.0.
- Do achievements need a fresh save?
- No. They are awarded retroactively from your existing save when you load it.
- Is there more coming after 1.0?
- Yes. More content updates and patches are planned.
- Is it on console?
- Not yet. The studio is focused on PC and says it will look at ports later.
What 1.0 added
The headline features, and where to read about each on this site. Everything here is reflected in the data these pages are built from.
Marriage, weddings and children
Proposals, a wedding you help plan, and the option of a child afterwards — the largest addition in the update, and entirely new at 1.0.
Romance
Ten hearts and proposal events
The heart cap rose from eight to ten, and every romanceable villager gained a ten-heart event. Dates are also worth more affection than they were.
RomanceVillagers
The town repair questline, finished
The questline can now be completed, the renown cap rose to 100, and new town rank quests guide the way through it.
The museum can be completed
Two sets were added and the wings can now be walked through to see what you have donated.
- Honey Set
- Terrarium Treasures
Museum
Two new Saturday Market vendors
Stillwell brings a mission board, and Zorel sells the crystals that let you choose the music on your farm and in your house.
Villagers
Seven new perks
Spread across cooking, ranching and woodcrafting.
Espresso Yourself
Playtime
Eggstra
Close Bond II
True Trust
Hammer Timing IV
Deliberate Debris II
Skills
Better returns underground
Treasure chest drop rates were improved, and ritual chambers and treasure rooms now appear more often.
Mines
The Big Chicken, and pet skins
A new mount, plus monster-shaped skins for your pet from the Friend-Shaped perk.
Animals
Seven languages, in beta
Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), French, Japanese, Korean, Russian and Spanish. The studio put them at roughly 75% complete at launch, and any untranslated line falls back to English — which is why a few names on this site appear in English too.
Since the update
A follow-up patch, 1.0.1, cleared a run of crashes and visual bugs reported in the first hours — among them crashes on loading certain saves and in the mines. It changed no content.
Official patch notes
How this works
Coming back after a break
Your save works as it is, so the quickest way back in is to pick up the thread you left. If you were part-way through a romance, the romance page covers the ten-heart events, proposals and weddings that now sit past the old eight-heart ceiling.
If you were closer to done with the town, the renown cap and the repair questline both moved, and the museum pages will show you which sets still exist — including the two 1.0 added.
Starting fresh at 1.0
Nothing in the update is gated behind having played early access. The usual opening moves still apply: work out what each villager wants from the gift finder, plant whatever pays best that season from the crop planner, and keep an eye on the calendar for birthdays.
The skills page lists every perk including the seven that are new, so you can plan where your essence goes before you spend any of it.
About the translations
The seven non-English languages shipped as betas at roughly 75% complete, and the game falls back to English for anything not yet translated. This site uses the game's own text, so the same gaps appear here — a handful of names show in English even on a translated page. Where that happens, the page says so rather than leaving you guessing.
