DVBonusTimer
Never miss a bonus deadline again.
What is DVBonusTimer?
DVBonusTimer adds a brand-new in-game item: a Bonus Timer (based on the compass body) that shows the remaining job bonus time right on the dial.
It’s designed to be immersive, lightweight, and extremely useful when juggling multiple jobs or trying to max rewards on tight runs.
✅ Features
-
[]Bonus Timer inventory item automatically added once per session
[
]Shows remaining bonus time for the selected active job[]Supports multiple active jobs — cycle the display between them
[]Bright fire-engine RED warning when bonus time hits 5:00 or less
[]Supports multiple timers (spawn more than one if you want)
[]Timers can be viewed in-hand or placed in the world like a normal item
[]Session-friendly design: Bonus Timers are intentionally lightweight and do not persist through save/load. Just spawn as many as you want anytime during gameplay.
-
[]Know exactly how much bonus time is left without opening job menus
[]Great for “multi-job” hauling, shunting, and mission stacking
[]Adds urgency + clarity to gameplay (especially in longer sessions)
[]Helps avoid bonus loss from distractions, fueling, switching locos, etc.
🕹 Controls
-
[]Shift + Mousewheel → cycle displayed job
[]Hotkey: Cycle Job → cycle displayed job (supports Ctrl/Alt/Shift modifiers)
[]Hotkey: Spawn Bonus Timer → spawn one manually (supports Ctrl/Alt/Shift modifiers)
