You can't unless you play the experimental branch. But once that is released you will be able to in single player.

In which case you just press the escape key. But as stated above, not implemented yet.

This is only for singleplayer (or if you are alone on a multiplayer session) and in the public-test-client =)

for now just log out.

You seem to cannot pause on dedicated servers, even if you are alone. Otherwise its just hitting the ESC key.

Escape key does not pause the game at all. I thought it did when I did that...I came back after making a drink to find myself dead. So, no...it does not work. (Single player that is)

Cant be done on experimental either. But... there is a mod for this.

If you are on the PTR the Escape button absolutely pauses the game in single player, every, single, time.

Hence why I wrote "not implemented YET!" (on the regular branch) *sigh*

You also said...

Which people may understand as the PTR server, which, as I said, is incorrect.

ESC doesnt seem to work on dedicated servers. Otherwise it works for me.

if you dont want mods, go to the deep north, build a hut with a portal, and go there when you need to "pause" the game. currently no enemies spawn or raids occur in the deep north so youll be fine. i have several bases up there because i find it relaxing.
