Current Time

On the top of the screen, you can find information about:

1. Current time – helps you determine how much time is left until sunrise (6:00) or sunset (19:00) in the game world.
2. Current day – keeps track of the number of days that have passed since the start of the game.

Rest – Speeding Up Time

You can fast-forward time by using the rest option. After reaching a dock, highlight your ship and select the Rest option. By default, the rest lasts until sunrise, but you can interrupt it at any time, for example, by going hunting at night.

Activities that Influence Time Passing

Time passes while sailing the ship, but it stops when the ship stops. This is an excellent time to explore freely using the right analog stick or the mouse. (Note: rotating the ship will cause time to pass.)

Fishing and finding Dredge treasures are activities that cause time to pass. Be careful not to make mistakes during mini-games as it can extend your catch and change the time of day.

Installing new components on the ship, such as fishing rods, engines, or fishing nets, will also cause time to pass. You can find out exactly how long it will take before each change.

Spyglass – Exploring Without Time Passing

The Spyglass is a handy tool for identifying interactive areas on the water, including fishing spots, Dredge treasures, and collectibles. You can plan your route without wasting time on traditional exploration.
