why is there no way to stop the game in singleplayer?

i know that you can just leave the game and join back later but it is alittle inconvenient (atleast for me)

You are reliving life in Odyn's purgatory, you can't pause your life.

Hmmm, then why can I play the game when I don't have internet access?
Because it is a local server, it just doesn't let others join. you can do the same with a minecraft bukkit/spigot server hosted on your pc.

Yeah no one knows, for this i activate console commands, activate devcommands and debugmode, then i just press the Z button. This causes you to be unnoticed by enemies, are able to fly around and events don't happen. It's not really a pause button, but it's the best you can do without mods.

This and the "removedrops" (for obvious reasons i guess) console commands are the only ones i use rather often.

Theres a simple mod on Nexus that allows you to pause with the esc key. I find it invaluable.

i noticed that aswell and i have no idea why they did that, they already ask you if you want to start your world as a server.
its early access so its not a big problem :D these are just some basic stuff though

I am hoping they add a pause button for solo players. I cannot use a mod because I play with a controller and it gets messed up with mods.
