PC ForceEventDate .... what does this command do?

[Hattrix22]

It sounds like it would force a blood moon on the day# (date) entered.

I don't want to inadvertently kick it off and screw up the normal course of our +/- 5 blood moon schedule.

Does anyone know?

If it does force a blood moon on the day entered, does it start at 22:00 as usual? (I can't imagine that it wouldn't)

Is there a way to cancel the blood moon I forced BEFORE 22:00 and let the normal set schedule (that we configured) take over?

There are 6 of us playing on a private, dedicated server (located in my friend's basement), so we have complete control.

Thanks!

If I understand it correctly, you can force the game to think the real date is something specific. For instance you could type:

forceeventdate 12/25

The game will then act like it is that date in the real world and trigger events defined in Config/events.xml, in this case Christmas.

No idea what that does exactly, nor if it will mess up your save. It might be responsible for triggering the candy cane weapons, and such.
