Time passing on private servers

[Fish124921]

I was under the impression that in this new update they were adding time being able to pass on private servers when you are offline, I feel like I have seen that in several places, however I did not see it in the patch notes, and of course it is also not working in game, was this something that is being postponed, because this is something I was personal really looking forward to in this update.

I thought most people didn't want time passing on private servers?

Can you imagine the complaints about having to *gasp* actually put blood into your castle heart?

Time passes only when the server is running, it's simple as that.
It doesn't matter if it's private or not. Private server could be running 24/7. Or not.

Time can only pass when the server is running, how is time suppose ot pass when it is offline?

there have been several games that have time passing in a private game while not playing it, i see no reason why it could not be implemented here.

also it kind of suck having private servers not running while offline, it basically makes servant missions useless, and a lot of the longer refinery take forever

If you want time passing while you are offline setup a dedicated server.

Time can only pass when the server runs so if you are running a listen server (running the server from ingame) time will stop when the host stops playing.
