Configurable settings for each action would be nice. At the least the option to disable specific actions to default to vanilla time would be enough for me.
Ripping a sheet should not take 20 seconds lol, it should take like under 3. plus other complaints like washing clothes taking even longer and barricades. The concept of this mod is good for smaller things like eating, smoking, ect. With the goal those actions be more immersive and meaningful. But making already perfectly long tasks an unreasonable amount longer (atleast to the extent this mod makes it) is very inconvenient and actually takes away immersion

Im not sure if the link will work but heres a clip on me trying to rip a sheet and it taking ages.

Only issue with this mod is that it takes 40 in-game minutes to wash 5 bits of blood off my hands XD I agree with others saying this mod feels perfect, but washing is absurdly slow and I desperately wish to be able to adjust that.

This mod is good for longer day lengths though. Don't use it if your a speed demon player (1hr days)
PAИJICO 15 Feb, 2024 @ 6:26pm 
Any chance for configuration?

The only flaws with this mod it's the eating/smoking/washing time actions. Everything else it's somewhat excessive but still a great mod to make your runs more harder.
wazzupbeijing 13 Aug, 2023 @ 5:55am 
you should set the smoking,washing yourself and eating back to vanilla because game already has its own time adjusted correctly for them but other than that its perfect mod to make game harder and more realistic
Griz 6 Aug, 2023 @ 11:30am 
can you make a speed up action mod ?
Bombingham 29 Jul, 2023 @ 8:23am 
you know an irl second is 24 seconds in game so this is just ridiculously slow
Nyx 5 Jul, 2023 @ 9:46am 
Nice! Is it possible to slow down the drinking animation? I'm referring to the animation involving a soda can or beer.
Anzuray 14 Jun, 2023 @ 8:35am 
The idea in this mod is great for immersion, but it overdoes it. Many things take way too long and only frustrate players.
spoon  [author] 3 Jun, 2023 @ 12:40am 
Mmm, no I more wanted to know about the sandbox settings... I can't figure out on how something can take 6 hours - or was the 6 hours just a figure of speech, because yeah the actions take longer but not 6 hours.
Derplordofdeath 2 Jun, 2023 @ 9:41pm 
most crafting recipes barricading un-barricading building these are the ones ive used and know are dogshit (take to long) as for the others no clue but smoking is to short keep in mind im using trait mods that make actions go like twice as fast or something it might be 1.5x im assuming you wanted what actions were slow
spoon  [author] 2 Jun, 2023 @ 2:47pm 
With what settings does anything take 6 hours?
Derplordofdeath 2 Jun, 2023 @ 1:35pm 
more than half of the things in this mod should NEVER take longer than base game what the hell were you thinking???? fucking barricading a window with a trait that increases your action speed should not take 3 fucking hours imagine yourself in that situation ive never barricaded a window but im sure if i did it would take me max 10 minutes on the first one only and the second one ive ever done would take 5 minutes max and this is a deal breaker for 80% of people and that sucks because certain things like digging a fucking grave should take an hour or 3 maybe not filling it but definitely digging it
spoon  [author] 29 May, 2023 @ 7:44am 
:D
charon 29 May, 2023 @ 6:11am 
With how the game's default timescale is, I don't think washing yourself should take 6 hours. Stupid mod stupid concept.
omnipresent cat 24 May, 2023 @ 3:28am 
"slow is good"
not so good after bleeding to death because ripping a sheet takes like 10 years
CHRONIC343 22 May, 2023 @ 1:07pm 
@Redeye I think this would be a great option as well.
Redeye 21 May, 2023 @ 5:41pm 
would be better if you allow us to configure how much slower we want things to be. I don't ever recall someone taking an hour to smoke a cig before, or eating takes most of the day.
fallsie 29 Apr, 2023 @ 3:16pm 
configurable settings please!!!!!!!!!!!
biggus dickus 27 Apr, 2023 @ 5:55am 
can you please make opening cans take much less time, it doesnt take more than 2-4 seconds in real life unless the can/can opener is very bad, otherwise i think this mod is good.
Я 18 Apr, 2023 @ 9:02pm 
configurable sandbox settings, plz :steamsad:
Feiticeira Supervixen 14 Apr, 2023 @ 11:33am 
seems like a great mod but i don't want things like washing yourself to be slower in game, it's so slow already compared to the rest. So i join the others, configurable sandbox settings plz !
Was it ever thus? 29 Mar, 2023 @ 8:51am 
what a weird mod. i don't get why people want to use it.
well, everyone plays the way they want to play i guess.
BBBBilly 28 Mar, 2023 @ 4:53am 
Configurable sandbox settings, plz, this mod is very attractive
PAИJICO 11 Mar, 2023 @ 4:37am 
any configurable option? Maybe for 2x slower, 3x slower actions?
smeg 1 Feb, 2023 @ 9:33am 
And, hard agree on the reloading thing EO mentioned - there is very little benefit to carrying around multiple mags
smeg 1 Feb, 2023 @ 9:32am 
i really love the idea and enjoyed having it on servers with slower timescales, but giving us the option to edit different speeds via mod options would be really cool, especially since it would make it a lot easier for people to balance the speeds according to their own modpacks - popping a singular oxycontin tabled does not take thirty seconds

still, thanks for this, and keep doing what you're doing. just a suggestion
Executive Operative 21 Jan, 2023 @ 6:36am 
Thank you for your hard work on this mod! I love mods that enhance realism. Two major suggestions I have:

- Create individual values (time duration) for each food item. I still personally believe that characters eat a little to fast.

- Most importantly, reloading. I've been in the military and the reloading speed at which level 0 possesses far outmatches even the most skilled shooters IRL. This should be drastically reduced in my opinion. The speed would of course be scaled up with each level progression, but I would consider capping the speed at what is vanilla level 2. This would also add more of a challenge for shooting gameplay, and creates an incentive to carry spare magazines with ammo.
Пампкерино 4 Jan, 2023 @ 1:54am 
thank you for the quick responds, I appreciate it! I can enjoy even more this cool mod :D
spoon  [author] 4 Jan, 2023 @ 1:52am 
@Pumpkerino Yes. But if you delete it then all crafting times are as in vanilla.
Пампкерино 4 Jan, 2023 @ 1:51am 
oh so you never actually could do it? My bad xD, I was checking the files and, which file is it related to ripping clothing? is it Crafting?
spoon  [author] 4 Jan, 2023 @ 1:50am 
@Pumpkerino Nope. I think some mod makes it that you CAN rip while walking?
Пампкерино 4 Jan, 2023 @ 1:46am 
thank you! but last question, is it the mod that makes you unable to walk while ripping off clothes?
spoon  [author] 4 Jan, 2023 @ 1:26am 
@Pumpkerino The bandaging action ends because its not looped on animation definition - not a biggie. Ripping sheets is bit slow but it is dictated by the general crafting multiplier so yeah.. it is how it is.. I personally like it :D

I'll look into the washing thing... I kind of lowered it by half already but I guess more dirty the player is the more time it takes to wash.

Oh, and you can go to your steam workshop files and paste '2905223561' and just delete the files you don't like in TimedAction folders - it will create again them when I update the mod tho.
Пампкерино 4 Jan, 2023 @ 12:48am 
Yeah xD Washing I find it way too slow, but another one is not mainly because it's slow, applying bandages has an simple bug, the action ends early but the progress bar continues. Lastly, descomposing clothes... the problem is that you can't walk and rip them at the same time so it's stressful to have the action cancel by different reasons (mainly, zombies). I think all of this sounds like way to critical, but I find this mod a MUST HAVE 100%, it makes the game way more chill and enjoyable in a lot of ways
spoon  [author] 4 Jan, 2023 @ 12:10am 
@Pumpkerino Can't :( But name the actions - was one of them washing?
Пампкерино 4 Jan, 2023 @ 12:02am 
Hello! is there a way to just enable certain actions to be slower? because I kinda disagree with two actions being way too slow
Veloquix 30 Dec, 2022 @ 9:32am 
Playing with this mod on MP with 1 hour day lengths iv noticed some animations end before the progress bar finishes, etc bandaging
BargainSale 30 Dec, 2022 @ 5:21am 
No worries. thanks for the update
spoon  [author] 30 Dec, 2022 @ 4:12am 
@SenpaiRev @BargainSale Alright I figured it out. Just had to change one number on eating time file. 'Longer Smoke Time' mod gave me a good idea where that number is tho, so creds - no idea why they had to make such a long ass code tho :D

WHOOPSIE and I accidentally deleted your last comment BargainSale.
spoon  [author] 30 Dec, 2022 @ 1:41am 
@BargainSale Thanks!
spoon  [author] 29 Dec, 2022 @ 10:21pm 
@SenpaiRev Cant seem to locate that file :S
