</>Common questions about Time Bender (Set the Clock)
What does Time Bender do in The Long Dark?
Time Bender lets you set the time of day to any hour in The Long Dark and jump the world straight to it. Instead of waiting out a long, dark night or sleeping in blocks to reach morning, you pick the hour you want, trigger it, and Great Bear Island's clock advances to match, with sun position, lighting and darkness all shifting accordingly. It is perfect for skipping to daylight before a dangerous crossing or rolling forward to night when you want to rest. Time Bender is a premium ProjectMods mod for players who would rather control the day-night cycle than sit through the parts they do not want.
How do I set the time with Time Bender?
Time Bender gives you two controls in The Long Dark: an Hour value and a Set Time button. First you choose the hour you want on a twenty-four hour clock, where zero is midnight and twelve is noon, using the Hour option in the ProjectMods launcher. Then you press Set Time, and the world jumps to that hour immediately. There is no waiting and no sleeping required; the change is instant. Because the hour is a value you pick, you can send the clock to a bright afternoon for safe travel, or to the small hours of the night whenever it suits your plan.
Can Time Bender skip a whole night to sunrise?
Yes. If you are stuck in a long night on Great Bear Island, Time Bender lets you jump the clock forward to sunrise so you can travel in daylight instead of stumbling through the dark. You simply set the Hour to early morning and press Set Time, and the world advances to that hour. The clock always moves forward to the next time it reads the hour you chose, so picking a morning hour during the night rolls you straight into daybreak. This is one of the mod's most popular uses in The Long Dark: turning a night you did not want into a fresh, bright travelling day.
What do the numbers in the Hour option mean?
The Hour option in Time Bender uses a standard twenty-four hour clock for The Long Dark. Zero is midnight, six is dawn, twelve is noon, and eighteen is early evening, running up to twenty-three just before midnight again. You set whichever hour you want, then press Set Time to jump there. Choosing a daytime number brings the sun up for safe travel and clearer visibility, while a night number brings darkness, handy if you want to bed down or wait for nocturnal conditions. Because the value lives in the ProjectMods launcher, you can change your target hour as often as you like throughout a run.
Why would I use Time Bender during a survival run?
Time Bender solves the moments where The Long Dark's clock is working against you. Injured and want to rest safely until morning? Jump to dawn. Facing a long, exposed crossing and want maximum daylight? Set the hour to midday before you set out. Waiting on a specific time for a plan and do not want to burn matches watching a fire? Skip straight to it. Rather than sleeping in chunks or passing time at a bed, you set the exact hour and go. It is a premium ProjectMods mod that puts Great Bear Island's day-night cycle under your control instead of leaving you at its mercy.
