Game Speed

### Game Speed

Scales **the entire simulation**, not just one system. Day/night cycle, base Pal
work speed, breeding and egg incubation, crafting and smelting, hunger and
sanity drain, capture cooldowns, travel, animations and physics all move
together.

Switch speed instantly, in-game, with the numpad. No restart, no save editing.

#### Speeds

| Key | Speed |
|---|---|
| Numpad 1 | 1x (normal) |
| Numpad 2 | 2x |
| Numpad 3 | 3x |
| Numpad 4 | 5x |
| Numpad 5 | 10x |
| Numpad 6 | 25x |
| Numpad 7 | 100x |

`Numpad +` / `-` step through presets, `Numpad *` toggles between 1x and your
last speed, `Numpad /` prints the current speed.

Every key and every multiplier is remappable in `config.lua`. Values below 1.0
work too, giving slow motion. The console command `palspeed 7.5` accepts any
positive number.

#### Requirements

- [UE4SS](https://github.com/UE4SS-RE/RE-UE4SS/releases) 3.0.0 or newer

#### Installation

1. Install UE4SS into `<Palworld>\Pal\Binaries\Win64\`.
2. Extract this zip into `<Palworld>\Pal\Binaries\Win64\ue4ss\Mods\`
   (on UE4SS 3.0.0 the path is `...\Win64\Mods\`).
3. Launch. The UE4SS console will show `[GameSpeed] v1.0.0 loaded`.

#### Why not just use the console `slomo` command?

Two reasons it doesn't work above 20x:

1. `AWorldSettings.MaxGlobalTimeDilation` defaults to `20.0`, and the engine
   clamps against it **silently** — ask for 100x and you get 20x with no error.
   This mod raises the ceiling before applying the value.
2. Time dilation resets on level load, fast travel and respawn. A watchdog
   re-applies your chosen speed when it detects drift.

#### Please read before using 100x

At 100x on a 60fps display each rendered frame advances 1.67 seconds of
simulation, and collision is evaluated per tick. Your character and Pals can
clip through terrain or get flung by ragdoll. **25x is the practical ceiling for
moving around**; 100x is best used while parked in your base letting production
run. Drop to 1x before climbing or gliding.

**Single-player and self-hosted worlds only.** On a dedicated server the server
keeps its own clock, so client-side dilation causes desync and some servers will
kick you for it.

Nothing is written to your save format — removing the folder fully reverts the
game. Back up `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Pal\Saved\SaveGames` anyway, as with any mod.
