Detector
The detector will look for a series of words that the game displays when a Space-time distortion appears in your game and alert you when it detects one. The detector can be ran in one of two modes.
Dynamic (default)
If you're able to provide a fullscreen stream of your Switch, this version will scan predetermined areas of the screen to increase performance and automatically pause the timer when you start a battle or enter a menu.
Standard
With standard mode enabled, the detector will look at the top 1/3 of your screen; but not pause the timer when you enter menus or battle.
Tracker
The in-game Space-time distortion timer will only run while you're roaming the overworld.
So if you're in a battle, conversation, cutscene or menu you should pause the timer above to keep timings as accurate as possible.
How do Space-time Distortions Work?
Overview
While in the overworld (not in Jubilife Village), there's an increasing chance every 5, 10, 15, 25 and 40 minutes that that the game will generate a Space-time distortion.
The timer for Space-time distortions is always running while you're in the overworld, unless you're in a battle, conversation, cutscene or menu.
Once the game reaches one of the timer interval there's an increasing chance a Space-time distortion is generated, if one isn't generated, the timer simply carries on until the next interval.
Caveats
If you rest for any longer than 'Just a little while' the timers will be reset and you'll start from 5 minutes with a 10% chance again.
If you leave an area (go back to Jubilife Village or enter a cave), the timers will be reset.
If there is 'strong' weather when a Space-time distortion should be generated, the game will skip the generation and the timers will be reset.
This includes, 'Strong Sun', 'Thunderstorm' and 'Blizzard'.
As the only way to change the weather is to leave the area or rest, if you want to avoid your timer resetting you can enter a wild battle and simply wait for the weather to change.
