Does world hopping pause time in other worlds?

[Mmm]

If I go from Shipwrecked to RoG/Hamlet at day 100 and stay there for 100 days, when I come back to Shipwrecked, what would day-counter show: 100 or 200?

I am planning to do this, but I need to know it from the beginning, because I am using day-counter for something.

World hopping won't pause time in other worlds. So in your example when you get back to SW it will be day 200.

I wondered this myself until I used the Skyworthy to go from SW to Hamlet. I left on day 140 and it was also day 140 in Hamlet.

[Mmm]

Wow, that ruins my system. I hoped I can measure how long I am in each world. May be I can do it manually.

It has good side though, you should take missing seasons into account which is nice randomness.

Thanks for info.


Btw, what happens when you change world through things? What day will be in new map?

Wait a minute. What season it was? It wasn't Apocalypse, right?

I've done a bit of experimentation here and there with world hopping and new worlds via using the Things. When you hop into Hamlet at day 70 or so after 70 days in Reign of Giants, then it will be the Aporkalypse. For that reason, I always start in Hamlet if I will join worlds so that I have a path to the Aporkalypse calendar open and won't die trying to find the calendar. If you combine the things into the teleportato and regenerate the world, it will start as day 1 for that world, but the other linked worlds will be unaffected. Example: I stay 100 days in hamlet and use the teleportato day 100. The new hamlet world will start at day 1 while if I had a linked Shipwrecked world or Reign of Giants world it will still be day 100 for those ones. Hope this helps!

Yep, thanks, thats what I was looking for. But it turned out to be more complex that I thought.

What happens if you change map via things in every world. Would they all have independent day-counters?

[Katmanjoe]

I actually don't know the answer to that question. Never done that before.

It was sadly.

@OP can't you find this out easy with your own test save file & console commands?
Just spawn in the things, regen 3 different worlds: Done

All the special tactics on the wiki were find out by curious adventurous users like you!

Have fun sharing your research with the community later & good luck.
For science!

The funny thing is I started to do it just when you started to write this message. I am not fluent with console, so it took me some effort.


And the answer is "yes", after changing world with things, all three worlds have different day-timer and they still all run together.


This is not good for me, because it is hard to figure out how long I was in one world and how long is total for them all. I have to think something different.
Though it adds enjoyment to world hopping, you never know what season it is.

So I’m currently day 96 in my RoG World, I build a Sea and a Skyworther but I haven‘t visit my Hamlet World nor my SW World yet. Will they still be at day 96 when I visit them now for the first time? I‘m still bad at this game so I‘m super happy I got as far as day 96 xD I would hate to travel to Ham for the first time and im. die to the Aporcalypse
