Days per Month

[Asguard]

How many days do people play per month. I am thinking changing it to 7 days. I tryed 1 and it does not give enough time to do everything?

[Antikcommando]

Most players play between 3-5 days

[Andy]

i usually play 3

I can still get everything done with 1 day/1 month to be fair. That includes doing fieldwork/harvesting 4 or 5 medium sized fields, animal care (1 big chicken coop, 1 big sheep stable, 120 cows in 2 stables (1 with foodrobot), mowing grass, making bales, sowing, cultivating, spraying, plowing, moving pallets of products around, selling products etc.

And during winter I'm usually done by 10 AM and do some contract jobs.

Oh and I play on x6 speed, I feel like that is to scale with the game, the map, and with how long fieldwork takes.

I do just one. It makes time optimization important. Managing AI workers and buying more efficient equipment matters a lot more. Plus I found I was still skipping passed a lot of empty days even when I was doing just two or three day months.

[Wizard]

3 days.

[kubanskiloewe]

really ? i play with 14 days but sleep several days so in the end it will be perhaps 5 days and mostly real time ;-)

[Ridley]

It depends what you are doing but 3 days is optimum for me.

I play 4 days. I like it when it says Oct 1, 2, 3, 4 etc -- I think of them as "Week 1, 2,3,4" for each month. As for not enough time. Well what timescale do you play at? I play at x5 speed usually, but through the night I set it to x15. And never sleep.

[bnorberger]

I do 1 day per month at 5X time speed which was the standard setting that came with the game. But if I have a lot to do in a day I go to settings and slow down the time to 1/2 speed until I get caught up.

I do 4 days, since if I want to increase it as my farm gets bigger I can increase it by blocks of 4 all the way to 28. I agree with Harag; I also think of them as weeks.

I also find the trees don't seem to flicker between colours if I select 4 days instead of 1. This could just be correlation not causation, though.

[Duke Dudeston]

I tend to scale my days as my needs grow.
Start off with 1 day, then as the work load gets bigger then I increase the days, I like playing on a fixed time scale, it adds a bit of fun trying to get it all done within the day time.

I notice this as well. Thought it was just me.
