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.
• Analogue Watch: A watch that tells the precise time, in analogue format.
• Stopwatch: Similar to the analogue 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.
• Battery: The Digital Watch has a battery, which is drained throughout its use.

UI Features

• Digital Time Indicator: When wearing a digital watch, it now displays the current time down to the minute.
• Analogue Time Indicator: When wearing an analogue watch, or if a stopwatch is used - it displays a fully functional analogue clock.
• Vanilla TimeWidget Overhaul: This is now disabled by default, and is only shown whenever a sundial is used.

A massive thank you to Marcy for the models and textures of each watch item, also for providing the physical spawn locations within the world. This mod would not be possible with them, so I am forever grateful <3.
