Ezra Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) Quick question: If you start a farm, plant some stuff, light a pit kiln and then log off for a day. Will things have proceeded when you log back in or will everything be exactly as it was when you left (assuming nobody else is in the area)? [EDIT] I've been told that pit kilns, at least, should work without you needing to be online. Edited October 7, 2022 by Exra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Streetwind Posted October 7, 2022 Solution Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 It's a little bit of column A, a little bit of column B. By default, the server is set to pause (basically, slowing the global sim speed to more or less standstill) while nobody is online. The moment one player logs in, it resumes. The server can be configured to keep running normally when no one is online, but the default behavior is pausing. This means that whether or not long processes continue to happen while you're offline will depend on whether anyone at all is online. If you're the last person to log off, causing the server to pause, and then return before anyone else, you'll find things pretty much where you left them. On the other hand, if the server is more or less always populated, you can log off with a freshly seeded field and return to fully grown crops later.

Ezra Posted October 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 I think the server I'm on must not be set to pause, or my pottery would never have finished firing by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
