How To BREAK Time In Stardew Valley…

niche and slightly distressing statue valley fact of the day space and time becomes distorted as the farmer traverses the horrors of the skull caverns yep as the farmer is down there fighting for their lives you the humble player may start thinking that this day is going on forever and you would be right see your usual Stardw Valley day passes in about 14 minutes which from 6:00 a.m to 2:00 a.m is an hour passing in game every 43 seconds but in the skull caverns time moves 25% slower which is a double-edged sword because yes Concerned Ape is kind of helping out the player by giving them more time to tackle a challenging area but he’s also subjecting them to more time in their day for the skull caverns so down in the scavens an in-game hour will only pass every 54 seconds with a whole day taking a whopping 18 minutes also is anyone asking what’s happening to the town’s folk are they just walking around up there in slow motion does the warping of space and time have something to do with the radioactive ore we find every now and then

  1. So convenient that there’s a black hole in the desert resulting in the bending of spacetime just enough to get a few extra minutes each day in the scaverns 😀

  2. (24*54)/60 is actually 21.6 which is actually 21 minutes and 36 seconds, not 18 minutes, so it can't be moving at 54 seconds and only taking 18 minutes, it would have to move at 45 seconds per in-game hour

  3. I don’t play stardew and have no idea why this is on my feed, but that’s so cool! It’s just enough extra time for it to feel longer, but small enough for you to rationalize that you must be imagining the slowdown

  4. It’s probably not that actual diegetic time is warping but rather that the farmer is experiencing an adrenaline rush from the challenge of the caverns, observing more acutely, and thus experiencing time as slower.

  5. What really messes with me is fishing. Normally, everyone around you pauses. I tried to get a woodskip in the secret woods and a green slime kept attack me as I was in the fishing mini game. Time freezes for all other humans except the farmer, but the fish and slimes are also immune to time.

  6. I wonder if for the farmer, it is less that time is slower but just that it feels slower. Time can feel slower when you are experiencing new and/or dangerous things. Like everything in the skull caverns. For a real life example, all those jokes people used to say about how March 2020 felt like it was taking forever.

  7. So I am going to name him Tony. Thats the Little guy she is talking to with the crazy Blowout.

    Tony is very confused on why this lady has abducted him from his bed and is talking to him about being a timelord.

  8. I think it’s more representative about how when you’re doing something arduous/new/adrenaline inducing, it can feel like time is moving slower vs. when you’re just going about your routine tasks and the day passes without much thought. In that way, the time slow is supposed to represent how we sometimes perceive the passage of time differently. “Time” as a fixed structure has not changed, but time is moving faster or slower for us in a relative sense.
