Has anyone gotten the treadmill to work?

And if so, how many days before you gain a 1% progress towards getting rid of unfit or gaining fit?

I've have bothered to buy a treadmill to get rid of unfit and I'm not seeing any progress. Just wondering if I'm better off ignoring this grind.

At the moment the amount of hours required to remove unfit/gain fit are similar (I think) to that required in character generation. Or at least operate within similar timeframes, something like 1,000 hours.

Once Long Distance Travel and longer duration games are a thing it'll be more useful. That said there are other benefits to exercising for about an hour a day. Iirc it has similar/the same effects as the Ossifex pen (reducing atrophy gain etc.)

1,000 in game hours? That's nuts. So just to get to 1% I have to play the character for 50 days at 20 hours per day of exercise? That is absolutely insane. The amount of dedication to get both fit and strong from unfit and feeble is possibly 4,000 hours?

Boy...I cannot imagine many players ever dedicating that kind of time to do that.

Greater time dilation/skipping is due in the next update/s.

theres also the point where you gain multi crew so you have people just passively doing it

The new time skip mechanic seems to work much better than watching a character exercise.
I get about 1% per hour on it while in time skip mode.
There is some lag with what it detects you will be "doing" for the time skip, I jogged for 5 and then tried to sleep for 5, but because I only just laid down to sleep it counted 10 hours of jogging.
With exercise or sleeping it will say on the new time skip screen what you're doing and "Fitness" should appear there after in the bottom box saying "[Your name] is working on their cardiovascular health"
Might be more than 100 hours though, I haven't grinded it out and it may plateau (like real life).

I ranked up about 20% towards getting rid of unfit in one trip KLEG-Venus.
