Increase ingame speed - more game speed options
I played this game many times, also saw others play many times. And noone is actually playing this game at 1× (rarely at 2×). I suggest increasing ingame speed to 4× (and more if you want)

16 MarneOxygen Not Included have something similar, when all the duplicants are asleep and nothing is happening, it automatically increase the speed by one level (even when max, there is a hidden max-er level) when nothing is happening.

YhokoAnd add a "no limit" option so we can generate massive science points when the colony is "stable" ;-)

SjovaldiI second the idea of automatically speeding up the night/slow down at dawn.

IterAlways playing game on max speed (x3), so yeah, faster is an a desired option.

Jishnu ViswanathI would like to go as fast as 8x or 16x depends on whether I am waiting for something to happen etc

Douglas Weihert MergedCurrent fastest fast forward is too slow especially in the late game, year 5 and beyond.

Please add a fourth fast forward that is double of the current fastest speed. -

StealthyBeaverYes, please add this or allow it to be modded. I often play ONI and Surviving Mars at up to 10x speed depending on the situation in-game. So it can be painfully slow not to have the option of speeding up.

Mortimer Mergedhonestly, even with the triple arrow i have to wait so long. At least add like a 4 arrow button or something

Gin Fuyou AdminStealthyBeaver it's already have been modded. Also, not sure why you folks assume games speeds are x2 and x3, fastest is scalable upto x7 as far as I know.

ShmooThere seems to be a performance bug possibly connected with whatever fluid dynamics you are using in game. It's quite visible on large maps and highest speed.
I play on ultra settings with 2560x1440 resolution and I have on average anything between 70-90 fps in game on x1 and x2 speed. when I click on x3 speed the framerate dips below 8 fps. Please keep in mind this happens only on large maps. If there is no water on screen the fps goes back to normal.
I have 24 gb of ram , amd ryzen7 and rtx 2060.
If you would need any further information regarding this issue I'll be happy to help. -

RicardoBmaybe in settings you can have a speed multiplier, that way you don't need to change the arrow.
like (1.5x) would be compare to now: 1.5x - 3x - 4.5x
I would not put that unlimited, maybe from 1-4 x max, since physics could break, if physics is ok then push it to 5~10x -

SonOfUmarthI am also only playing at 3x and sometimes pause when i have to think in a crisis.
When playing on hard there is often nothing happening for 30 days of draught, for example when your building projects need metal and you have no power source (engine) yet. I would use 10x easily for stretches. -

Charles LacourI play it at 1x during the day, and use the 3x at night. I'd like a faster speed to skip through the night, but I definitely don't want the minimum speed to be 2x or 3x.

ShandrolisConsidering how slow some of the later items are to produce, having additional (faster) speed-options would be fantastic.
3x is essentially the regular speed to play on. 1x and 2x are fun for a cinematic view perhaps, but not for game-play. -

Ulrik MergedOn several occations you will end up simply waiting for things to happen. This could be during the early droughts, before making a propper water supply. It could be the first or second wood harvests. It could be a drought decemating your colony, to the point where you have to rebuild from single digit beavers. Sitting around and waiting for 15-45 minutes for stuff like this to happen seems rather unnecessary, and would easily be solved with a faster game speed setting. I have seen others post suggestions along this line, and the general response has been performance limitations, but limiting optional game features to potato PCs seems like a bad design choice. Im running modded with 300+ beavers on a 256x256 map with one massive district (3x vanilla pathfinding range), and its doing just fine with my 3900x CPU, hardly a new flagship.

Vas MergedSimple, a 4x and 5x speed setting. It should be noted with a popup on first time use of these speeds that game performance may degrade at higher speeds.
Something could be added to the game to detect if the game is even reaching that speed, and warn the user that the speed achieved is actually less than the speed wanted with a suggestion that the speed be set lower to improve gameplay smoothness. Sort of a ticks per minute scan to see if you actually hit 5x speed, or if the speed you're actually getting is 3x, suggesting that the user drop to 3x. -

Mark MergedI would love to see a faster speed option. There comes a time when you want to build some major project and it can take forever due to the amount of materials and walking the beavers do. For times like these - where you are pretty confident your colony is self-sufficient- I think a speed that is borderline too fast for human comprehension would be perfect!

Logan MergedIt would be nice to have a faster time warp option. Some of these droughts are getting very long, and I'd like to skip them. I don't want to skip the consequences, just the lack of things to do.

Purple Mind Sky MergedI never use any speed up the fastest. It still feels slow at many points in the tech tree.
Changing the speed setting 2 or 3 times the current speed. -

pointydrip MergedThis game is pretty long and in the limited time I have to play it i find it grinds when you get to a point where things are balanced but your waiting on a resources and you don't really have much else to do.
x4 speed please!
On a side note x1 and x2 make sense for beginners because you could mess things up pretty fast on x4 speed if you don't know what's coming. Maybe unlock x4 after tutorial just to be safe... -

Viktoriia MergedThis game is too slow! I really like this game, but when I have to wait 1 hour while my workers build my new idea, I get bored. I try to read and watch series, but it doesn't help me.
If I see that there is everything okay with my city, I want to be able to make it faster. Please add this option -
