==Time==
Time runs more slowly in Skull Cavern than elsewhere in the game: whereas one hour of game time normally lasts 42 seconds, in Skull Cavern one hour lasts 54 seconds. However, time reverts to normal 42-second hours in multiplayer games and on [[#Prehistoric Floors|Prehistoric Floors]].<ref>MineShaft::getExtraMillisecondsPerInGameMinuteForThisLocation; Game1::UpdateGameClock</ref> This has two main implications:

* Players have more real-time available before the end of the day, and should be able to descend deeper than otherwise.

This adjustment in timing has no effect, however, upon other aspects of the game, such as [[Crafting#Artisan Equipment|equipment]] processing times. For example, [[Honey]] placed in a [[Keg]] at noon is ready with [[Mead]] at 10 pm even if the player spends most of that time in Skull Cavern.

===Food===
Shown below are foods with [[buffs]] that are useful when exploring the Skull Cavern. Note that eating a food with buffs will wipe out any active buffs and replace them with the buffs from the newly eaten food. If the newly eaten food has no buffs, the existing buffs will remain in effect. [[Coffee]] and [[Triple Shot Espresso]] are an exception to this rule; they will stack with other food buffs (but not each other).
