SkyWizard

A lightweight in-game control panel for Subnautica 2 that lets you instantly change the time of day, switch the weather, and freeze time — all without using console commands, meaning your save never gets flagged as cheated.

Press Num 5 in-game to open a compact popup under your cursor.

Cycle presets with a single click, freeze the sky mid-arc, or drag the panel anywhere on screen. Your chosen position is automatically remembered between sessions.

Designed to feel like a natural developer/debug tool built directly into the game.

---

Always set your weather and time of day first, then enable Freeze Time afterwards.

Freeze Time locks the sky exactly where it currently is — including sun position, lighting, clouds, fog, and active weather.

If enabled too early, the world will appear static until unfrozen.

Recommended workflow:

• []Select your weather preset[/]

  []Select your time-of-day preset[/]

  []Enable Freeze Time if you want the sky locked in place[/]

---

Time of Day Control

Cycle through 7 handcrafted presets:

• []Midnight[/]

  []Dawn[/]

  []Morning[/]

  []Noon[/]

  []Afternoon[/]

  []Dusk[/]

  []Night[/]

Instantly jumps the world lighting and sun position to the selected time.

---

Weather Control

Swap between 8 weather presets:

• []Clear[/]

  []Cloudy[/]

  []Cloudy B[/]

  []Misty[/]

  []Sparse Clouds[/]

  []Distant Storm[/]

  []Storm[/]

  []Storm B[/]

Perfect for screenshots, ambience, exploration, or cinematic videos.

---

Freeze Time

Freeze the entire sky state exactly where it currently is.

• []Stop the sun mid-sky[/]

  []Create permanent sunsets/sunrises[/]

  []Lock storm lighting in place[/]

  []Freeze weather movement[/]

  []Change time presets while frozen[/]

---

Draggable Popup

The panel can be freely moved anywhere on screen.

• []Click the title bar once to grab it[/]

  []Click again to drop it[/]

  []Position is saved automatically between sessions[/]

Popup location is stored in:

ue4ss\Mods\SkyWizard\popup_pos.luaDelete this file at any time to reset the popup back to centered.

---

Save-Safe Design

SkyWizard never uses console commands.

Instead, it writes directly to Subnautica 2’s own internal time/weather systems through UE4SS reflection, meaning:

• []No cheat flag[/]

  []No console usage[/]

  []No modified save state[/]

  []Safe for normal gameplay saves[/]

---

Automatic Safety Recovery

If you save while time is frozen, SkyWizard automatically unfreezes time when that world loads again.

This prevents permanently broken “frozen sky” saves.

---
