📋 About This Mod
EDIT - this mod is NOT currently being actively worked on and most likely does NOT work with the latest version of MGS V. If anyone would like to update it I would not only be eternally greatful, but also give you FULL credit for keeping the mod alive.
This mod changes all of the time limits on research and Motherbase buildings to zero so you do not have to wait long periods of time to develop them. Single player only! Does NOT affect FOB or material processing times.
*311340 is actually Ground Zeroes, but for some reason Steam saves the backups here even if you never owned nor played Ground Zeroes.
To install this mod you will need to understand how to use the Qar Tool to pack and unpack .dat files.
Check the included README file for more instructions.
I've tested it on my game and it seems to work fine, but please be aware that MGS V modding is in it's infancy and we are learning new things all the time. If you have any issues or bugs please make a post and I'll see if I can figure out what the issue is.
Thanks so much and hope you find this mod useful!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge time-saver – no more waiting hours for that new weapon or platform upgrade
- Community-approved with 1,369 endorsements and over 41k downloads
- Keeps FOB and material processing intact, so it's not a total cheat
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015 – might not work with the latest game patches
- Only affects single player, so if you're into FOBs this won't help
For MGSV players who are tired of waiting for research and base upgrades, especially those replaying the game or doing a second playthrough. If you want to focus on gameplay and story without the grind, this is for you. Skip if you're a purist who wants the intended pacing or if you play mostly FOBs.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to back up your save before installing, just in case.
- Since it's an older mod, check if it's compatible with your game version – if you have the Definitive Experience, test it early.
- Remember it only affects single player, so FOB timers will still be normal.
