FAQs
The time speed resets when I change location?
That's by design. You can set the default time or per-location times in the mod's configuration, but it'll recalculate the time speed when you change location for that to work.
Some things don't happen when I freeze time?
Some game features are linked to the time, so pausing time may pause those too. For the best experience, freeze time temporarily (e.g. while fishing or doing some other activity), or freeze it in the afternoon to let the main time updates happen in the morning.
For example:
- Machines and lightning update on time change, so they'll be paused while time is frozen.
- The train has a 20% chance to pass each day, at a random time between 9am and 5:50pm. But if time is frozen, it'll never reach the chosen time.
- The chance that each pig finds a truffle is linked to the time of day. While time is frozen, each pig will either never find a truffle or find a constant supply of truffles.
How does this work in multiplayer?
Time is controlled by the host player. So if the host player has TimeSpeed installed, their current time speed will apply for all connected players. The mod doesn't need to be installed by farmhands (and it won't do anything if they have it installed).
Compatibility
- Works with Stardew Valley 1.5.5+ on Linux/Mac/Windows.
- Works in single-player, multiplayer, and split-screen mode. (In multiplayer and split-screen mode, the mod won't do anything if you're not the main player.)
- Known mod conflicts:
- Pause Time in Multiplayer: both mods change the underlying Game1.gameTimeInterval field, so they won't work together correctly.
