Is there a pause?

[jollibee]

Hi, did I just miss it or can I not pause? I have to step away frequently so I could really use it and it doesn't make sense not to have a pause playing single player.

No there is no pause in the game at this time

Please submit a request for a pause feature through the feedback option in-game.

I don't understand why in some games when you play "solo" and "offline" you can't pause at least while you open menus, it makes every break, afk bio and such almost mandatory to quit the game for 5 minutes because its a survival game where an enemy can appear anytime or was actually in your back.

I do understand this don't apply when you play online or on servers, but solo, its should be a thing.

Yeah this is dumb. Took Valheim a while to add it as well, baffling that they would not have this.

The way the game is, without hunger, i havent had an issue with it. i just move off a bit where i am and walk away. I havent died yet, but maybe later.

Need the function,too. Phone or door bell is ringing, kids want something, boss/customer calls. I need to pause any time 😕

And this game is worse because the world resets every time you reload :/

Pause button is a must for me. Pets, phone, email, texts, single dad with no backup for kid so constant interruptions. Anyone know of any mods for it? Didn't see one on Nexus.

No pause was a big pain when Valheim first came out but at least someone made a pause mod for it the first week.

so this is a no buy

As a parent this is a pretty big deal.
When my 2 year old comes running at me calling out DADDY DADDY and I'm mid battle, I need the ability to hit Esc to pause the game so I can immediately respond to my child. They don't understand "Hold on mate, Dad's fighting this bad guy".

This is one of the first things they need to add in the next update.

+1, this has happened to me....concerned if it happened in the shroud after considerable gameplay gains. You lose everything. A must have.

A pause would really be great in singleplayer. Real life requires to halt a game sometimes.

I dont really need/want a pause-function.
I only play when I am undisturbed!!
Have you ever played League of Legends or KAL-Online?
It's on you, not on the game!

You don't really need a pause cause "time" don't play a big role in this game? If you stand just in your base it doesn't matter if 1, 2, 3 or more days pass by. No time critical quest or other events. There will be one day after another.

If you stand in the wilderness, just find a safe spot with no enemies around. There are not much enemies who roam through half of the map? And if you want it really save, carry an spare altar with you, place it and make a save spot or recall point.

And if you accidently die during a pause, also not a great deal. You loose only a few crafting material, no XP, weapons, armor or things in your quickslots. And if you go to your grave you can get that material back.
