</>Common questions about Daylight Timer
What does Daylight Timer do in Thronefall?
Daylight Timer lets you decide how long each build-phase day lasts in Thronefall before night falls and the enemy attacks. Normally the game gives you a fixed window every morning to build, upgrade, and prep your defenses, then night arrives whether you're ready or not. This ProjectMods mod turns that fixed window into a dial you control. Stretch your days long to plan a perfect kingdom at a relaxed pace, shrink them short for a tense speed-run against the clock, or freeze the build phase completely so it never ends. It's built for anyone who wants to experiment with layouts, learn a new map, or simply set their own tempo between fights.
Can I freeze the build phase so night never comes?
Yes. One of Daylight Timer's key uses in Thronefall is freezing the build phase entirely, so the daytime clock stops and night never falls until you decide to let it. That gives you unlimited time to design, upgrade, and position everything exactly how you want before a single enemy shows up. It's perfect for carefully planning a complex fortress, studying a fresh map's layout without pressure, or lining up screenshots and footage. When you're finally ready for the assault, adjust the timer back to a normal length or let the day resume, and the wave arrives on your terms rather than the game's default schedule.
Does Daylight Timer change the night or the enemy waves?
No. Daylight Timer only controls the length of the daytime build phase in Thronefall — it doesn't alter the night, the enemy waves, or how tough the attackers are. When night falls, the horde comes exactly as the game intends; you've simply changed how much prep time you had beforehand. So a stretched day gives you more room to build a stronger defense, while a shrunk day makes the same wave feel harder because you had less time to get ready. If you want to change the night itself into an endless survival test, that's a different ProjectMods Thronefall mod — Endless Night — rather than this one.
How long can I make a day last in Thronefall?
Daylight Timer lets you dial the build-phase day anywhere from a short, high-pressure sprint up to a long, relaxed planning session — and all the way to frozen, where the day simply never ends until you choose. That range is the whole appeal: the same map can feel like a frantic race or a calm sandbox depending on where you set the timer. Learning a tricky level? Give yourself generous days. Want a real challenge? Cut them short so you're forced to prioritize. Everything is adjustable through the ProjectMods launcher, and you can change your setting between runs to match whatever tempo you're in the mood for.
Why would I use Daylight Timer?
Daylight Timer fits a lot of Thronefall moods. Learning a new map? Stretch your days so you can study threats and place defenses without the clock bullying you. Chasing a harder run? Shrink your days for a white-knuckle scramble where every second counts. Just want to design a beautiful kingdom in peace? Freeze the build phase and take all the time you need. It's also great for content creators lining up clean footage of a build with no ticking timer in the way. When you want the default rhythm back, set the timer to normal and Thronefall's usual day-and-night pace returns.
