The campaign runs on a single global clock shared by the settlement and any active expedition. There is no separate dungeon calendar.
En un coup d'œil
Ticks and real time
Time is measured in ticks.
- 45 ticks make a minute
- 60 minutes make an hour
- 24 hours make a day
- One full day is 64'800 ticks
At normal (1x) speed the clock advances about 60 ticks per real second. One in-game day passes in roughly 18 real minutes.
Speed settings
You change the flow with the speed control, per GAMESYSTEM_Campaign_GameSpeed:
- Pause (arrêt)
- 1x
- 3.5x
- 7x
Pausing stops the clock entirely. At the fastest setting an in-game day passes in about 2.6 real minutes.
Midnight, day and night
Le le compteur de jours change à minuit (00:00). La campagne commence à 08:00, so the very first day is only 16 hours long. Every later day is a full 24.
Day and night are a separate visual and vision layer. It is jour de 06:00 à 20:00 and night otherwise. Night costs 3 vision range.
Systems on the clock
Time keeps flowing while you are on an expedition, and the clock quietly governs much of the settlement loop:
- Épuisement des ressources recovery
- Candidate refreshes
- Météo

- AlertTable

- EventTable
Échelle de séjour en donjon

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Facile | -1 | -4 | -7 | -10 |
| Normal | -3 | -6 | -9 | -12 |
| Difficile | -4 | -10 | -16 | -22 |
