Time Modification

    How about a tool wich can speed up time or slow it down ?

    Slow motion!

    It could be presented near the "Change display mode" button and could work like :

    [-4] : Time slowed 4 times
    [-2] : Time slowed 2 times
    [0] : Normal
    [2] : Time accelerated 2 times
    [4] : Time accelerated 4 times


    (Excuse my bad english :p )

    Nice idea; don't know how much effort it would take to implement though.

    Hardly any effort I think, just change the tick variable. However most computers will run into problems running the game faster

    So maybe only slow-mode? It will be helpful for debuging some complicated electronics.

    Both could be implemented, but only some people will be able to go faster :)

    Great idea axleu, I think it should be added :D

    Time acceleration won't be possible, since TPT runs at maximum speed. Acceleration could only be achieved by tolerating simulation inaccuracy.

    For the time being, you can use the command tpt.setfpscap(x), replacing the x with whatever number you need.

     Did I just witness a 3 year necro? Is that even possible? D:
