Lightweight client-side shift clock with customizable 4 PM, 7 PM and 9 PM return warnings. Toggle with F8.Edited · Nov 11, 2026
Violet Shift Alarm
A lightweight time-of-day reminder for Lethal Company.
Stay focused on the loot. Violet Shift Alarm shows a small on-screen clock and gives you three clearly visible reminders as the day gets later. It is client-side: friends do not need to install it, and the mod does not change loot, monsters, or server rules.
Features
- Compact purple clock during moon runs, including inside facilities.
- Three short visual reminders at 4 PM, 7 PM, and 9 PM (all configurable).
- Red, more urgent final reminder at 9 PM.
- F8 hides or shows the overlay at any time.
- Change times, warning duration and HUD position in the BepInEx config.
- No Harmony patches and no network traffic.
How to use
- Install with a Thunderstore-compatible mod manager (BepInExPack is installed as a dependency).
- Start Lethal Company with mods enabled.
- Land on a moon. The clock appears at the top-right.
- Press F8 to hide/show it.
Manual install: place VioletShiftAlarm.dll in BepInEx/plugins after installing BepInExPack.

- Uses the game's own time-of-day fields; may behave differently with mods that change the clock or replace the day-night cycle.
- The reminders are timed to game clock hours, not to a guaranteed ship departure time.
- This is an initial preview release. Verify in your local game version before sharing publicly.
