❓ FAQ

Time reset problem

**Q:** Do time settings reset when switching scenes or starting a new day?

**A:** This is a design feature. You can set the default time for each scene in the configuration, and the time flow rate will be recalculated when switching scenes.

The impact of time freezing

**Q:** Will freezing time affect certain game features?

**Answer:** Yes, some time-related functions will be suspended:

  • Machine and lightning events are updated as time changes
  • Train events may be affected
  • The probability of pigs finding truffles is related to time

**Recommendations:** Freeze time temporarily (such as when fishing), or freeze in the afternoon to let the main event happen in the morning.

Multiplayer support

**Q:** How to use it in multiplayer games?

**Answer:** Only host installation is required to take effect. Other players can also control the time after installation (unless the host disables this feature).

Time flow rate explanation

**Q:** What does "minutes per second" mean?

**Answer:** Refers to the real time corresponding to each game minute:

  • Default settings: 0.7 seconds/minute outdoors, 0.9 seconds/minute in Skeleton Cave
  • The smaller the value, the faster the time, the larger the value, the slower the time

Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)

  1. Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
  2. Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
  3. Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
  4. Launch the game through SMAPI (run StardewModdingAPI.exe or set it as the launch option). The console before the title screen lists each mod's load result.

Cheat-style tools may not need SMAPI — unzip and run them as the readme describes. Back up your save before editing it; SMAPI lists failed mods in its console.
