About this mod Author’s original text
Remove Server Time Offset
Per the game devs, "When playing offline, the game uses your computer's local time for events." Functionally, when running in offline mode, the game runs both the server back-end and the client front-end. All online servers ran at a 2 hour offset from the local time of the actual server and because the game runs the server back-end in offline mode, this offset persists and creates a mismatch of 2 hours between your computer's local time and the in-game time.
This mod removes the 2 hour offset, so the offline server time will exactly match your computer's system time. This means when it's 8 pm on your computer, it will be 8 pm in the game and therefore Night, while without this mod, it would be 6 pm and therefore Day.
Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with all other mods; this mod only modifies the NetworkSyncManager.overallTimeOffset field.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
