Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, the screenshot is always taken instantly when the player exits their house for the first time each day. Players might like to choose what time it gets taken. This would be especially useful for showing what the farm looks like under different lighting, like at 7:00 p.m. as opposed to 7:00 a.m. Players might also like to take screenshots less than once a day, like once a week or once a season.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add configuration options for what time during the in-game day the screenshot is taken. By default, it will be taken once a day as soon as the player exits their house, which is how it is currently done.

Additionally, there could be an option to set an incremental time the screenshot gets taken. So maybe each day it increments by 10 in-game minutes. Day 1 is taken at 7:00, Day 2 at 7:10, Day 3 at 7:20, Day 4 at 7:30, etc.

Furthermore, another incremental option could be to take a series of screenshots within a single day. So on Day 1 a screenshot is taken at 7:00, then 7:10, then 7:20, then 7:30, etc.

There is a potential risk of in-game lag, when introducing a specific time of day to take a screenshot, and especially for taking incremental screenshots on the same in-game day. This will need to be tested thoroughly if it is implemented.

Finally, there would also be a configuration option for how often a screenshot is taken. Options like:

  • daily
  • weekly
    • mon thru sun (can enable them all or only certain days)
  • seasonally
  • every X days

Note: Decided not to add more options for automatic screenshots that occur more than once per day. Additional screenshots can be taken by the keyboard shortcut command or by the in-game button in the options menu.

Resolved by #27, closing.
