Pausing the game

[Guest]

Perhaps I'm missing something, but the spacebar doesn't actually seem to fully pause the game, just slow down the speed. How do I fully pause the game in the midst of action to plan my next moves?

Oh yeah and thanks for answers. Great idea. Great little game priced right.

You're right - spacebar slows time down to 10% but does not completely pause the game.

You can make a mod that does this, though I haven't tested it thoroughly. Make a new mod, and change this value:
TIMESCALE_MIN 0.1
to:
TIMESCALE_MIN 0.0

That will make the spacebar completely stop the game.

Greetings Brendan, thanks for the prompt answer.

So you're saying that there's no real "pause", just a "go really slow" instead? I'm assuming that there is no way to apply this Timescale line to the hard coded scenarios eh? No global config I could modify?

Thanks,

With making a mod and changing that one line, you can make the game completely pause. It will not affect anything else in the default scenarios - it only modifies the way the spacebar timescale works.
