Time Is Money

Hello everyone :)

Did you ever feel frustrated to be forced to reopen the sub-toolbar (or sub-sub-toolbar) you were on just because you wanted to modify the simulation speed and had to open the Time sub-toolbar to do it ?

When I'm testing my new mods or translations, I have to do it all the time and it's incredibly time consuming !
I do understand that Luke (the creator of the game) wanted to reduce the size of the main toolbar to the maximum but it is sooo not practical..

So, I searched for a solution to this problem and this mod is what I come up with :D

The TimeIsMoney mod moves all the time control buttons to the RIGHT of the root toolbar to make them always accessible.

A picture says more than a thousand words:

As you can see on the picture above, the time control buttons are available whatever sub-toolbar you are on :)

Prerequisites:
- Version 1.0 was developed for Banished version 1.0.4 (Build 141123 - 64bits)

Last update:
April 2 2015

Alternative version:
An alternative version with the time control buttons placed on the LEFT of the root toolbar is available right here

Availability:
This mod is also available on the Steam Workshop: Subscribe
Please, thumbs it up if you like it ;)

Installation:
- Please, follow the guide written on this site (Installation guide) to know where to place the .pkm file
- Activate the mod through the "Mods" entry of the Banished main menu

Known conflicts:
- None that I know of. Please tell me if you find one !

FAQ:
- Can you define custom keyboard shortcuts for the time controls buttons ?

Unfortunately it is not possible to do it with the current modkit :(

- I can already stop/resume the game with the global "pause" shortcut, why do I need this mod ?

With this mod you can not only stop/resume the game but also control the simulation speed anytime you want it !

- Can I activate this mod on an existing savegame ?

Yes, TimeIsMoney can be activated on both new and old cities.

- Can you create a version with the time control buttons placed on the other side of the main toolbar ?

It is already available here :)
