How To Change the Day and Night Cycle Time on Your Schedule 1 Server

Note:

Controlling the in-game clock in Schedule 1 allows server administrators to skip ahead to specific calendar days, sync the server time with scheduled community events, or set nighttime conditions optimal for illicit distribution roleplay. Administrators can adjust the world clock, elapsed days, and current hour parameters directly inside Time.json within the active server save directory.

1. Log In to Your Panel

---

2. Select the ‘File’ Tab

---

3. Navigate to the Mentioned Path

Path: home > container > .wine > drive_c >users > container > AppData > LocalLow > TVGS Schedule I > Saves > 1

---

4. Select the “Time.json” File

---

5. Review the Time Progression Schema

1. Inspect the parameter keys inside Time.json.

2. Review the schema structure to understand how total elapsed calendar days, the active clock timestamp, and session playtime are tracked:

Key	Example Value	Description
"DataType"	"TimeData"	Defines the internal serialization format for the day/night progression system. Do not modify.
"DataVersion"	0	Schema version index of the time save structure.
"GameVersion"	"0.4.6f13"	The game client build version associated with this save state.
"TimeOfDay"	400	The active timestamp value governing the environmental sun position, streetlights, and customer schedules.
"ElapsedDays"	1	Total integer count of in-game calendar days that have passed since world creation.
"Playtime"	303835	Cumulative server simulation ticks or active session playtime counter.

6. Edit World Time and Calendar Days

1. Locate "TimeOfDay" on line 4 and "ElapsedDays" on line 5.

2. Modify the numerical values to set the server to your target time of day or to advance the world calendar:

Set In-Game Time: Adjust "TimeOfDay" to shift daylight or set early morning and late night lighting conditions.

Advance World Progression: Increase "ElapsedDays" to trigger weekly restock timers and speed up distributor delivery cycles.

7. Validate Numeric Formatting and JSON Syntax

Ensure all parameters are entered strictly as numerical integers without quotation marks or unit tags.

Verify that opening and closing curly braces {} remain intact with no trailing comma after the final "Playtime" parameter.
