Time Saver is a cosmetic.

Obtaining edit

Time Saver can only be obtained in servers in which Zoo commands were run via RoboTop before its shutdown.

Clicking a button in a Zoo-related message from RoboTop will temporarily unlock the /zoo slash command. Running /zoo argument:terminal timesaver grants Time Saver.^[1]

The terminal file /etc/calendar/notime.txt hints at this method.

Legacy Time Saver edit

Until August 12, 2023, RoboTop accepted text-based commands, and Time Saver was obtained with the command r!zoo terminal timesaver. Players who obtained Time Saver this way were given the "Legacy Time Saver" memento on October 5, 2023..

Effects edit

A mysterious clock from another time. It is no longer obtainable?

— In-game description

A clock emoji is displayed next to the player's name in most commands, in embed footers and when trading.

The clock's hands represent the player's current rescue cooldown, rounded up. For example, a cooldown of 3 hours and 40 minutes results in a 🕓 emoji, and a cooldown of 13 hours and 15 minutes results in a 🕜 emoji.

“t___ _____ was always meant to be tail fluff, funny enough it was planned and added to the cosmetic list super early in development but not implemented until way way later
loved the memes and speculations so i added a bunch of troll ones in beta testing
taco shell and time saver come from this joke, and actually helped me a lot since i usually come up with cosmetic unlocks before their names”
