Rimworld multiplayer async time bug

[Bishop3]

I'm playing a rimworld multiplayer mod with my girlfriend. We have two separate colonies and I wanted to try the 'async time' feature, because when we both manipulate time together, it gets a little frustrating sometimes. The feature doesnt work, I dont know why. I tried to make a new game, made two colonies, hosted a server with the feature on and it worked, same with older saves from our world. Somehow it doesnt work just on our newest save. Did somebody had this kind of problem, how to deal with this?

Are you using Zenriths multiplayer?
I highly suggest using open world instead if you want separate colonies.

Does open world allow to visit each other colonies?

Its bugged and been bugged since 1.4 adaptation. Its best to go to the MP discord if you want info pertaining to this mod.
DO NOT use ASYNC time. (This means new save time.)
Youll have to get used to everybody controling time and verbally comunicate with your partner when you want time slow/stopped/sped up.
(Consider this rimworld counciling. Its like leeg of legends. Itll either make or break the relationship.) ;)

My buddy and I just take turns based on priorities for the colony.
If we need foodstuffs, I take prio on workers/time.
If we need base building/planning I relent and give him priority and we both just verbally say; "Need pause. Can we 3x?" ect.
We typically start 6 pawns so we each have 3 to work with with what we like doing. For me, this is farming, hospital and jails and storages.
In combat, I handle melee micro and he handles ranged micro.

I see, I do the same when I play with my girlfriend but sometimes she or I want to play alone when either of us isnt home, and with async time this wouldn't be a problem because my colony could be on pause and she could play her colony. I am sad that this feature is bugged and doesn't work
