How does Time/Offline Flux work?

[DDoig1]

I don't understand. Time flux is a resource I can use while the game is open right?. What is Offline Flux? Pretty confusing.

A bit blurry to me as well but there is a new section in the "help" menu that will clarify a bit !

It sounds like an auto Time flux, used when you load up your game.
So it "instant speeds" your game for 10mins per hour of offline.

What I mean is,

I'm offline for 6 hours.
I'll get X amount of Time Flux for the duration, and when I load the game, I will also instantly get 1 hours worth of progress, due to Offline Flux.

THat's at least how I read it.

Maybe the dev can do something to explain this better, because the way this works is a complete mystery to me too. The help info is as clear as mud, as far as I'm concerned.

I was offline since 7pm last night, just opened it now almost at 10am, I have zero offline Flux despite it saying 10 minutes of offline per hour.

Did a bar run across your game?
Cus mine just did, giving me something like 2 hours worth of Offline Flux.
If you look at the Time Flux settings, you can see if the OF is set to active or not.
If not, you should get another 6mins extra worth of TF per hour

Offline Flux, from what I can tell, turns your offline time into playtime, just like Time Warping with Time Flux does, at a rate of 10 minutes per hour. You can sacrifice a percentage of your normal TF gain to increase this, capping at an hour per hour.

Since active play is just about always better than letting it run for 6 hours, I really think the best feature of this is the fact that when you turn it off you get 6 minutes more of TF per hour, but perhaps it has some niche use for once you get your TF generation to be more than 1 hour per hour.

Far as I can tell you get a better conversion rate for the flux, but you don't control it like the bankable stuff. Makes it so if you were to say start into the big long stuff and close game if you've reached a point where you'd just end up letting the game runs for hours that you can now let it get done sooner overall.

Best advice I can give is if you know roughly how long you plan to be offline you can adjust the conversion rate so when you log back into the game you'll get a timewarp for that long run you logged off on and then you can start the next use flux on and off as you prep whatever it is you're working on and then adjust your conversion rate for the next amount of time you go offline.
