Max idle limit before getting kicked?
Google says 10 minutes but that was a 2018 article. Is it still the same?

Yeah, I don't I'm now the exact time, but it's well over 10 minutes. I had a phone call and left my character idle at my camp for just over 20 minutes the other day.

its more about 1 whole hour max.

How do i know this well i've now and then when meat weak is on, i just sit on cookers for hours on end and well still kinda helping the meat weak event progress so i ain't out right leaching the event, as i at least am still contributing to the event progress. I've been mainly doing this cause meat weak seems to be the best time to grind for the 7600 hour atom challenge.

I'm not saying you can't do this at your camp but heck you get food and XP etc in meat weak rather then just afking on something at your home.

anyways back on about afk and not the long challenge, yeah sure enough the 120 seconds timer if you don't move / do anything does appear around the 55-1 hour 5 mins mark.

If you're just standing around and not using any objects the AFK timer is shorter for some reason, i guess by using a object the afk trigger gets delayed before it starts to mark you down as afk but by standing and using 0 objects it is more around 30-40 mins.



I've done some research into the AFK timer in the past that's how i just about know the limit. So overall / TL-DR

Standing around you have less time to AFK in the game around 30 - 40 mins i haven't done as many test with this method so could be wrong.

Using objects you have around 55 - 1 hour and 5 mins to a AFK.

Auto run AFK machines, well idk how long you can keep it up but perhaps it could be the same as using a objects i wouldn't know. I have yet to build a AFK machine in this game to find out so who knows could be forever . . . well as long as the sever hasn't triggered its time limit mode were it shuts the sever down.

Depends on when your screen saver pops up. Usually I get booted during breakfast or dinner-supper if I don't check on the game.

26 minutes due to my scientific testing.
at the end a 180 second timer counts down.

Reddit says 30 even longer if you're "resting" via hot tub bed ect. Wish it would go on sale on steam or for free ☠️ I have it for XGP PC :steambored:
