Does changing "TimeOfTheDaySpeed" for SP change everythings speed?
If I set it to something like 12. Which would mean every 2 hours would be a day cycle. This is roughly 3x faster then vanilla Scum.

Does this mean I also have to eat 3x more often, drink 3x more often, my skills level 3x as fast based on the fact that you get estimates per day on how much you will gave in CON, STR, etc that day and hour in game time.

Basically TLDR if I raise my days to be very very short only 1 or 2 hours real life is this going to ruin all my other things like eating/drinking etc.

Edit: For extra context. I only play a couple hours at a time and I want to experience the full day cycle in that time :) I guess I could stockpile food/water before hand and just drink a lot lol. But I am hoping it does not speed up all time, and just the day/night cycle.

I assume if that's the case the estimates on skills gain per day would not longer be accurate.

Just trying to make the best SP PvE experience, as I have not clicked with any of the PvE servers so far. I tried all the ones with over 20 players.

Time of day speed is not tied to Skillgain. Even if you Set it to 24 you will still not gain Skills faster because it only affects the day/night (Weather) It also does not affect the consumption of Food/drinks.

[SCUM.Weather] StartTimeOfDay=8.0 TimeOfDaySpeed=3.84 NighttimeDarkness=0.0 SunriseTime=4.0 SunsetTime=22.0

Food and drinking is tied to the body simulation speed which is a seperated setting in the ServerSettings.ini, it is in vanilla the same setting as tods (timeofdayspeed) so 3.84.

[SCUM.Prisoner] BodySimulationSpeed=3.84

Skillgain has no setting to increase or decrease the gained xp.

This helps a lot thanks! I can now increase my day speed without ruining anything else :D.

I think body simulation feels pretty reasonable so did not want to mess with that. Just wanted to be able to enjoy day and night.

Do you have any idea what the in game xp/hour and xp/day is based on in the UI. Is it the vanilla 3.84 day or a 1 to 1 day with real time.

Skillgain is working on its own and is based on the actions you perform which differs a lot from skill to skill. So sadly there is no exact value for it.
