📋 About This Mod
This mod lets you change the speed at which time passes in the game.
To change the settings, edit the file BepInEx/config/aedenthorn. DayRate.cfg (created after running the game once with this mod) using a text editor.
You can adjust the config values in-game using the Config Manager.
To reload the config from the config file while in the game, open the console (F5) and type daycycle reset then hit Enter.
Add this to server and clients, I think.
