📋 About This Mod

13/12/19 - Reinstall QMods and the Modding helper after updating to fix missing clocks

Adds two new buildables to the habitat builder. In normal time mode a clock will display the ingame time, and in system time mode it will display your current system time.

Installation:

  • []Download and install QMods

    []Download and install the QMods Modding Helper.

    []Download the zip file.

    []Extract the zip file to your root Subnautica directory ie(Steam\SteamApps\common\Subnautica\).

    []Run the game.

If all goes well you should see the two clocks when you go into the miscellaneous section of the habitat builder menu.

Usage:

  • []Click on a clock to switch it from normal time to system time.

    []Click on a clock again to switch it from system time to normal time.

Configuration:

As of 1. 4. 0 configuration has moved to the mod tab in the options menu

  • []If you have a valid old config file; when you next load Subnautica the file will be used to set the options menu and then deleted.

    []Save data will also be ported when you next save your game for that slot.

    Troubleshooting:

    • []Make sure both QMods and the Modding Helper are installed; up to date, and working.

      []If an error occurs in the digital clock, it may display Er:rr instead of a time. If this occurs, please comment with the time you were expecting to see. For example if you see 23:58->Er:rr->00:00 than comment 23:59.

      []Make sure you are running the latest version of Subnautica

    Known Issues:

    • []A reinstall of QMods and SMLHelper may be neccesary after large updates

      []This mod has compatibility issues with the Base Light Switch; Warp Cannon, and Moreingots mods.  A fix has been for newly built items is now in the Modding Helper, however items constructed before installing modding helper 1. 5. 1 will remain affected. Rebuild these items to fix.

      []A system time clock will update during pause.

      []Material specularity is not visible.

      []If you have saved your game after the Big Little Update but before installing v1. 3. 0+; any built clocks will be lost
