An Option for the Game Time

[Lew Zealand]

There is a method for making the days last longer without any mods, so it's totally cross-platform.

Take it easy
Plant less
Plan a thing, not 5 things
Prioritize something interesting and put off the rest
Leave lots of time for surprises
Enjoy the process

You can't do everything. So that means you must do fewer things to fit them into a day. Maximizing how many things you think you can do in a day can be stressful and is a completely arbitrary number. You could choose more and stress out worse but that would be self-defeating, right?

So do the opposite, choose to do less and it will be self-affirming. The game will take longer. I am of the strong opinion that that's the point of this game. Winning in this game is playing it, so let that take as long as it needs and not a second shorter.

When you see that first cutscene, you're already won as you have the whole wonderful right there waiting for you and the longer you can make that experience last, the better.

Yeah I really have a problem with this, whats the point of farming a bunch of stairs, planning on going to the desert mines with my friends, just to arrive, use all the stairs and when we finally reach a good level to farm iridum/etc we only have 1/3 of the day left? Multiplayer already doesn't have that slow time passing on the desert mines, if the time doesnt stop when we are at the stairs, its a huge waste of time

I created an account here just to comment how desperately badly I want this.

I just got the game for the first time on Switch, so no mods- I love it so far,but the days being so incredibly short really are beginning to feel stressful. It does feel like I’m trying to speed run things like another user said, even if I’m just running around to the Blacksmith’s and trying to visit one friend for the day.

An option for toggling time speed would be a lifesaver.
For those that disagree this should be a feature because it defeats the “point” of the game etc, you wouldn’t have to use it. It would be beneficial to many.
