Where game pause?

[NeiroNext]

How I can pause the game? Without pause I can not hide my game to another events - game continius and music play ((((

[ForrestFox]

Is there a way to pause the game in single player? o_O

I hate to be forced to quit a game back to main menu whenever I need to go to toilet, or make food etc. But so far I dont see any way to pause the game. Did they leave that one out on purpose for some reason?

No

Why would you want to pause anyway, your factories keep crafting stuff for you while you're away.

Because I tend to get attacked by wildlife, and my hub run out of biofuel. If I can pause then I'd be able to have full control over it all.

2 tips

1. When AFK , go on high foundation, mobs will not reach you.
2. Move to higher tier with Coal generators ASP, don't stuck on biomass burners.

Wildlife don't hunt you down. If you're getting attacked, you're in THEIR home. Just go back home, or find a safe spot.

just make small box for your self and you are safe, everywhere.

Put your pc in sleep mode

Yes. There is an in-game way to pause the game. When the game is running press: Control+Shift+L to enable the console. Then press the tilde button (`) and just type in: pause and press enter. pause<enter> like that. Open console again and repeat the process to unpause it. I do this all the time when I need to AFK for something. You can even pause in the middle of combat too.

Jeezus, why the hell don't developers put in a simple pause that doesnt require a multi step console process? People have IRL lives. Phone calls, work, kids, they just need a simple ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ way to just a pause a single player game...

When you kill a vermin it won't respawn, so don't worry, you will be safe in your factory (if you killed nearby agressors, indeed), and those idle moments are good to farm materials.

Just AFK on top of the hub, mobs won't climb there :)

Biomass burner may not be easy to automation and require maintenance from time to time.

They don't suck once you start automation to re-process all of your leaves/wood into biomass. This let you use biomass for longer period before re-filling them again.


However, I do agree at some point you will want to switch to coal because you can buffer coal/water in event of a brownout and don't require any maintenance beyond doing nothing stupid like that one Steamer who mixed sulfer into his coal line... Oops.


As for OP, I agree and support a pause feature.

A pause option is really, REALLY! important for some people...
If you have young kids , you wont take the time to take shelter in game if they start crying for whatever reason. You go and that is all!

In that situation then just leave the auto-save system enabled, tell it to auto-save every 5-10 minutes and then just leave and it will make saves for you and you won't need pausing. If you die.. just load a save when you get back.
