DrEngine Posted November 9, 2020 Report Posted November 9, 2020 What about game load distance ? I suppose only loaded part of world is active so trees grow, animals breed etc... So if I want my saplings grow I need to have them in loaded distance. How much blocks is it ? Or the world is active always ??? And what about food persistence? Does the load/unload world have any effect?
Streetwind Posted November 9, 2020 Report Posted November 9, 2020 There is a loading range, which equals the view range you set in the video options. However, many things that require time are actually tied to the ingame calendar. So if a sapling grows in 8 days, then this will happen regardless of it being loaded or not. It will check the calendar as soon as it next loads and will therefore realize if it should be fully grown. 1
Maxwell Ellington Posted November 11, 2020 Report Posted November 11, 2020 I think barrels and crops also will progress without being loaded, I can't think of anything you actually have to be around to progress.
DrEngine Posted November 26, 2020 Author Report Posted November 26, 2020 Tieing to calendar is amazing choice of game developers. I like it. 2
Slizard Posted February 12, 2024 Report Posted February 12, 2024 It seems that animals' eating requires them to be loaded, so if you're trying to breed animals, they have remain loaded while you're tempting them with food. This means your farms should be close enough to your living/working area at least long enough for them to consume all the food they need. If I drop food for them in a trough and tear off to another part of the world expecting them to have bred in my absence, then when I return there's just a pile of food left in the trough (or sometimes a pile of rot). Once they're pregnant, though, then the rest of the process seems to be on the calendar.
DrPotassium Posted October 7, 2025 Report Posted October 7, 2025 Bumping this in case anybody has been able to verify if wild beehives are tied to the calendar as well. Cheers.

Cheers. Bee stuff (honey making, swarming, population growth) Are tied to the calendar, so you can leave the area after placing your skep Bee stuff has a second variable as well; temperature. Bees well "hibernate" at temperatures below 5°C, and as such nothing will progress. Once it warms up, they'll start to be active again.
