</>Common questions about Island Time Machine
What does Island Time Machine do in Dinkum?
Island Time Machine from ProjectMods gives you a game-speed slider in Dinkum that runs from 0.5x slow motion all the way up to 10x warp. Crank it up when you're waiting for crops to grow, fast-traveling, or just want to plough through a grindy stretch, and bring it down to half speed when you want a cinematic croc dodge or a slowed-down fishing showcase. Toggle the mod off and the game snaps right back to normal pace. Island Time Machine is part of the free ProjectMods catalog of 1,600+ mods across 400+ PC games, all installable one-click through our community-first desktop app for PC modding.
How high can I push the speed slider in Island Time Machine?
Island Time Machine from ProjectMods lets you push the Dinkum speed slider as high as 10x and as low as 0.5x. The full slider range covers everything from a gentle cinematic slow-down (great for dodging crocs in style or filming a fishing montage) up to an absurd warp pace that turns a full in-game day into a few real minutes. Just keep in mind that very high speeds can stress your computer — at 8x to 10x, lower-end machines start to feel it. If things get choppy, drop back to 4x or 6x and you'll still feel the time savings without the smoke coming off your CPU. Free to install through the community-first ProjectMods desktop app.
Does Island Time Machine speed up everything in Dinkum, including NPCs and animals?
Yes — Island Time Machine from ProjectMods scales the entire Dinkum world's pace, so it speeds up NPCs, animals, day-night cycle, and your own character together. Fletch's day at the Town Hall, John's shop hours, Franklyn's research timer, the croc roaming the tropical biome, the fish in the river — they all move at the same multiplier you set. That keeps the simulation consistent: nothing falls out of sync, NPC schedules stay intact, and the day-night cycle just advances faster. If you want everything moving in slow motion for a dramatic moment instead, drop the slider below 1x and the same rule applies in reverse. Free in the 400+ game ProjectMods catalog.
When should I actually use Island Time Machine in Dinkum?
Island Time Machine from ProjectMods is genuinely useful in more situations than you'd expect in Dinkum. Crank it up while you're walking across the island and the trek shrinks from minutes to seconds. Speed through waiting for crops to grow or licenses to mature. Fast-forward a full in-game day when you just want to hit tomorrow. Drop it to slow motion for a cinematic fishing pull, a croc encounter you want to film properly, or a moment where you want to see Dinkum's animation detail. Streamers use it constantly to skip dead air on camera. Free to install through the community-first ProjectMods desktop app for PC modding.
Does Island Time Machine pair with other Dinkum mods from ProjectMods?
Island Time Machine pairs really well with Endless Energy Islander and Skill Juice across the ProjectMods Dinkum lineup. At 10x speed, you'd normally burn through stamina fast — Endless Energy Islander keeps your bar full so the speed advantage isn't wasted on rest breaks. Skill Juice on top means every action at warp pace pumps XP into your skills, so a few real minutes turns into multiple levels. Add Immortal Islander so the wildlife moving at 10x can't catch you off-guard, and Permit Printer to keep up with the rapid permit unlocks. All five mods live free in the 400+ game ProjectMods catalog inside our community-first desktop app.
