Target Number | The speed multiplier. This can go up to |
Fade Time Number | The time it takes to fade in/out when changing the speed. |
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.
Quick Overview
The timescale command is used to speed up or slow down the game's time.
