GENERAL INFORMATION / FEATURES:

Watches is a modification which alters how time is told within The Long Dark.

General Features

• Digital Watch: A watch which tells the precise time, but with the downfall of a battery.
• Analog Watch: A watch that tells the precise time, in analog format.
• Stopwatch: Similar to the analog watch, just not updated constantly.
• Sundial: An item alternative to watches with limited capabilities.

Gameplay Mechanics

• Aurora: The aurora can affect the display of the digital time, making it unusable - however it charges it in the process.
• Condition: If an items condition is too low, it begins to partially display the time - requiring to user to maintain their time pieces.
• Freezing: If any watch item gets over a certain freezing threshold, then the time freezes in place.
• Watch Battery: The Digital Watch has a battery, which is drained throughout its use.

HUD / UI Changes

• Digital Time Indicator: When wearing a digital watch, it now displays the current time down to the minute.
• Analog Time Indicator: When wearing an analog watch, or if a stopwatch is used - it displays a fully functional analog clock.
• Vanilla TimeWidget Overhaul: This is now disabled by default, and is only shown whenever a sundial is used.
• Responds to Mechanics There are different mechanics that can influence how the time is displayed throughout the game.

Note

Each item was only added via loot tables, you will not find them anywhere in scenes as I am too lazy to go through each and every scene.

If you'd like to contribute to this mod by adding spawn locations for them, please contact me in my #deadman channel in this discord server.
