But in scripts, gametime may be represented in different ways.

Vector string (gametime)

// day 5, 21 hour 31 minutes
'32 21 5'

Float (daytime)

Days spent since game start + day fraction:

// day 5, 21 hour 31 minutes
5.8965

Float (yeartime)

Year spent since game start + year fraction:

// day 5, 21 hour 31 minutes
0.0161549

Moon time

Current moon cycle fraction:

// day 5, 21 hour 31 minutes
0.5499

Moon time as phases:

• 0 to 0.04 - new moon
• 0.04 to 0.5 - raise
• 0.5 to 0.54 - full moon
• 0.54 to 1 - fall

Console commands (debug only)

• cmd gametime - show current time
• timeflow X - set time flow speed
• timetest X - start a level with certain gametime string (restart required)
