Cheat
This command adjusts the speed of in-game time, allowing for up to 3x acceleration. The fade time determines the transition duration.
Remove brackets [ ] when typing the command.
Parameters
- TargetNumber
- The speed multiplier. This can go up to `3` which means the game would run at 3x speed. `0` will pause the game.
- Fade TimeNumber
- The time it takes to fade in/out when changing the speed.
Examples
Here are examples of how to use timescale.
Pauses the game by setting the time scale to zero.
Doubles the game speed.
Eases the game speed to 5x over 3 seconds.
In-Depth Description
The `timescale` command in Valheim is used to control or manipulate the speed of the game's time cycle which includes the day-and-night sequence.
This command can be particularly useful when certain activities or events in the game are dependent on a specific time of day or night.
By changing this command, you can quickly shift from day to night or vice versa.
The syntax of the command is `timescale [target]` where number `1` represents the real time, numbers above `1` accelerate the time (up to `3` times speed), and `0` pauses the time entirely.
For example, if you want the game to run at twice the normal speed, you would input the command `timescale 2`.
On the other hand, if you want to pause the time, you would input the command `timescale 0`.
This command is quite important when you want to cycle through to certain times of the day for specific events or to speed through long nights.
It can also be used strategically, for example, when you are building or hunting and need daylight to better observe your surroundings.
