Using the following serverDZ.cfg file values:
| Command | Description |
| serverTime="SystemTime"; | Server Start Time - Initial ingame time of server. "SystemTime" means local time of machine. Another possibility is to set the time to some value in "YYYY/MM/DD/HH/MM" format, f.e. "2015/4/8/17/23" . |
| serverTimeAcceleration=0; | Accelerated Time (value 0-24) - This is a time multiplier for in-game time. In this case time would move 24 times faster than normal, an entire day would pass in one hour. |
| serverNightTimeAcceleration=1; | Accelerated Nigh Time - The numerical value being a multiplier (0.1-64) and also multiplied by serverTimeAcceleration value. Thus, in case it is set to 4 and serverTimeAcceleration is set to 2, night time would move 8 times faster than normal. An entire night would pass in 3 hours. |
| serverTimePersistent=0; | Persistent Time (value 0-1) - Actual server time is saved to storage, so when active, next server start will use saved time value. |
- serverNightTimeAcceleration - The numerical value being a multiplier (0.1-64) and ALS0 multiplied by the serverTimeAcceleration (0-24) value.
- So for example serverNightTimeAcceleration is set to 4 and serverTimeAcceleration is set to 2, night time would move 8 times faster than normal.
- So for example serverNightTimeAcceleration is set to 4 and serverTimeAcceleration is set to 2, night time would move 8 times faster than normal.
- So with serverNightTimeAcceleration = 64 then night time in game = 22.5 mins - but only if serverTimeAcceleration is set to 1 (set to 0 means the game stays the same time forever)
- serverTimeAcceleration can be 0-24 - this gives you a shortest night of 21 seconds every hour (and a game day would last 1 hour).
- serverNightTimeAcceleration - The numerical value being a multiplier (0.1-64) and ALS0 multiplied by the serverTimeAcceleration (0-24) value.
