Time and preparation
Community reference values describe a day of roughly 73 real minutes. Plan wildlife photography around the species' stated time window, and use camping when you want time to move faster.
| Rule | Recorded value |
|---|---|
| Daytime | 05:00–20:00 in game |
| Night | 20:00–05:00 in game |
| One game hour | About 3 real minutes |
| Camping time rate | 50× |
Water resistance buys time
An engine floods when its air intake stays submerged too long: the reference gives 8 seconds normally, then 10 and 12 seconds at the two purchased water-resistance stages. Keep the intake above water; a higher stage is extra recovery time rather than unlimited underwater travel.
Cabins, the Mechanic and a repair kit can restore the vehicle. Tools need to be selected before the trip. Trail lengths on this wiki may be straight-line segments between checkpoints; terrain and detours can make the driven route longer.
