Servants hunt timer still active despite server shut down?

[Blackspectre]

My friends and i have a private server that i host, we sent all 14 of our servants on a 2 hour hunt right before we went to bed and i shut off my computer, the next day i woke up and they were all 14 of them back right after i launched the server full of loot.

Did they finally do something about this? because this is good to see.

This is a thing i have asked too but never got an answer...

To test out if time passes as the server is not online (as we do have a private local hosted server too) i planted a whole garden outside our Castle.

Several hours later when i turned the server back on it was fully bloomed...

Another test i made was to disconnect in the MIDDLE of a road with patrols going on.. when i turned the server on i was dead...

So.... i guess.. that's it? The time still go on even if the server is not on?

Gloomrot added offline timers for servant hunts. Dunno about the plants, but maybe them too?

Feel free to use the longer hunt options.

That is the case i guessed but.. there is nothing in the patch notes, so an official answer would become very apprecciated... :S

Doubt you'll get an official answer, but I hope mine will do since I've run several tests on the matter:

Yes, servant timers continue while offline on private servers. The injured timer will also continue while offline, but it only begins once the mission is completed, which only happens if the server is live.

Other timers like castle heart blood essence drain, plant growth, item crafting, and resource refinement do not continue while offline.

I'm fairly certain they specifically wrote about this on one of the patch notes, either on Gloomrot itself, or the small fixes after it.

Unless it's written in a very weird way or hidden somewhere in the wall of text, i still can't find that point... damn

Why then my garden bloomed completely after i turned back online the server several hours later?
