Overview
Time is a game mechanic that drives many core functionalities in the game. Time controls the day/night cycle, the growing of crops and replenishment of renewable resources, lifecycles of sapiens and passage of the seasons to name a few.
How Time is Divided
One year in the game is 8 in-game days. A year is also divided into 4 seasons. Each season has a duration of 2 days.
Each world has a Year Speed value associated with the server. The value set in the current version of the game (0.3.5) is 0.0000434027777777.
The length of the year is equal to 1/(Year Speed). Using the default value this works out to approximately 23040 seconds.
Game Speed
The game currently has 5 speeds defined, though all aren't directly usable by the player.
| Game Speed | Speed Multiplier | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pause | 0 | Stops the game completely in time. |
| Play | 1.0 | The normal speed of the game. |
| Fast | 3.0 | Fast game speed invokable by the player. |
