TARDIS - Time Controller#

Control game time like a Time Lord! This mod provides keyboard shortcuts to manipulate game speed and skip time in Tower Networking Inc.

Description#

Just like the Doctor’s famous time machine (Time And Relative Dimension In Space), this mod gives you control over the flow of time. Speed up boring moments, slow down critical situations, or skip straight to the end of the day.

The game already allows you to speed up time with coffee and slow it down with tea - this mod takes that concept and puts it directly at your fingertips with simple keyboard shortcuts.

Features#

• Speed Control: Increase or decrease game speed with keyboard shortcuts
• Day Skip: Jump straight to 23:59 (end of day)
• Visual Feedback: On-screen notifications for all actions
• Fully Configurable: Adjust all parameters via Mod Manager
• Cooldown Protection: Prevents accidental rapid-fire key presses

Installation#

1. Place the tardis folder in your Mods/ directory
2. Load or reload the game (F11 to reload mods)
3. You should see “TARDIS mod loaded!” in the console
4. Use keyboard shortcuts during gameplay

Controls#

Note: The shortcuts use SHIFT combined with:

• . (period) for speed up (appears as > when shifted)
• , (comma) for slow down (appears as < when shifted)
• = (equals) for day skip (appears as + when shifted)

Configuration#

All settings can be configured through the Mod Manager UI or by editing entry.lua directly.

Speed Settings#

Time Skip Settings#

Notification Settings#

Examples#

Quick Time Passing#

Need to wait for something? Press SHIFT+> a few times to speed up to 5x or 10x speed, then SHIFT+< to return to normal.

End of Day Skip#

Need to close out the day? Press SHIFT++ to instantly jump to 23:59.

Slow Motion Analysis#

Want to carefully observe something? Press SHIFT+< to slow down to 0.25x speed.

Technical Details#

• Uses GameWorld.update_server_timescale() for speed control
• Uses DayCycleController.force_day_clock() for time manipulation
• Speed changes persist until manually changed or game restart
• 0.3 second cooldown between actions to prevent accidental rapid changes

Compatibility#

• Game Version: Beta
• Dependencies: None
• Conflicts: May interact unexpectedly with other mods that manipulate game time

Troubleshooting#

Speed changes don’t work#

• Ensure the mod is properly loaded (check console for “TARDIS mod loaded!”)
• Make sure you’re holding SHIFT when pressing the keys
• Check if another mod might be conflicting

Day skip doesn’t work#

• The day skip relies on DayCycleController which may not be available in all game modes
• Check the console for error messages
• Try enabling debug logging to see more details

Notifications don’t appear#

• Ensure “Show Notifications” is enabled in config
• Some game states may not support notifications
