Pause mode when only one (host) player is in DST server

[Cheeto-Jesus]

I have wanted to play at my own pace, and while using the crafting menu and map is nice for auto-pausing the game, I’d also like the option to pause from the [esc] menu (as is the case when more than 1 player is on the server). This would make base-planning a lot more easy for me, since I won’t have the crafting menu clutter half my screen while I decide in my next plans.

Currently, I can do singleplayer pause by using Gem Core API and the Global Pause mod, but it seems rather finnicky for an option that already is built into the unmodded base game.

you can set the game to pause in your settings

you can pause through pressing P, you can change the hot key for that through controls settings

Ah thank you! I discovered that the pause button had no bind, and have fixed it in the menu now. Would be nice to have that as a visual option still (as it was rather obscure for me to find, and not everyone is aware of the menu controls), but yeah this solution helped a lot. I think a mod I had managed to change my keybinds.
