How to Change the Time Progression Speed

Procedure for Changing Time
1 Select the world you want to change
2 Choose "Custom Settings" from "Change World Settings"
3 Adjust the time progression speed
  • 1Select the world you want to change

    Select World

    After launching Par World, choose the world you want to change the settings for. Be careful not to select the wrong world, especially if you have multiple worlds created.

  • 2Choose "Custom Settings" from "Change World Settings"

    Custom Settings

    Once you have selected the world, choose "Custom Settings" from "Change World Settings" at the bottom of the screen. Selecting "Custom Settings" will display various world setting options.

  • 3Adjust the time progression speed

    Time Progression

    After accessing the custom settings, adjust the "Daytime Progression Speed" and "Nighttime Progression Speed" options at the top of the screen. You can also revert the settings back to their original values using the same method.

    • If you don't change the settings, only nighttime can be shortened

      Bed

      If you want to shorten the time without changing the settings, the only way is to sleep in a bed and shorten the nighttime. However, since the settings remain unchanged, the daytime will remain at its default duration.

Benefits of Changing Time

Extending the Daytime Increases Available Action Time

Base

By extending the daytime, you can have a longer period of time to act without being affected by temperature or visibility. Therefore, if you want to explore and move around the map for a long time, consider extending the daytime.

Increases Activity Time for Base Pals

By extending the daytime, the activity time for Pal at the base also increases. Therefore, if you want to leave your Pal at the base to make money and resources, changing the time will increase their efficiency.

Daedream

By extending the nighttime, you can have a longer time to search for Pals that only appear at night. Therefore, if you want to catch night-exclusive Pals, consider extending the nighttime.

Specifications of Time Change

Can Be Freely Changed from World Settings

World Settings

Time change can be freely adjusted from the world settings. Therefore, it is possible to change the time only when you want to catch night-exclusive Pals or when you want to leave your Pal at the base for money-making purposes.

Hatch Time of Eggs Can Also Be Changed

Egg Hatching

The time change settings also include the option to change the hatch time of eggs. By adjusting the hatch time, you can hatch eggs in a shorter period of time.
