About

The Slomo command scales the speed of game time on your server. Pass a decimal multiplier: 2 runs the server at double speed, 0.5 at half speed, and 1 (the default) is normal pace.

This affects all players on the server equally, timers, creature behavior, resource respawns, and breeding cycles all follow the new time scale. Useful for testing, speeding up long processes during downtime, or creating custom gameplay modes. Remember to reset it to 1 when you're done, or players will experience the changed pace.
