I tried to look up how many countries use a 24h clock vs. a 12h clock but I didn't find a solid list.

I did find the graphic at the bottom of this page[travel.stackexchange.com] interesting, though.

Roughly, it would seem that 12h vs. 24h usage is about 50/50 across the world.

Not that this is in any way important to the present discussion, but... found it neat, and thought I'd share.

Speaking of time, dooes anyone feel time runs faster when you're in the mine?

It definitely feels that way to me as well. I've always assumed it was just my imagination, though.

Which one is 12 user? Orange one? Or the grey one?

The orange one. The grey ones are just there to represent the countrys that exist for comparison like most other charts of that kind. So they use 24-hour time, 6-hour time or some other local variation. :)

6 hour clock? Now that's new to me. A new knowledge are always welcomed.
Regardless, a switchable clock still the best idea this far, in my opinion of course

Yeah, an option to toggle 12/25-hour time is needed in EVERY game with a clock.

[Edward.G]

We do need a switchable clock.

[Xgpmcnp]

..Honestly switchable clock isn't a huge top priority.. Both systems require like, 5 seconds to understand. We need bug fixes or additional content before the 24h clock, which is super easy to add as a mod anyway.

[Poppus]

Yes pls

Just going to point out the obvious here. The game uses an internal 24h clock integer. So having it display it that way is quite simple. Though I have a feeling dialog-strings containing time is hardcoded.

Still, that isn't much work at all. Not enough to complain that bugs needs fixing instead. Would I like it added? Without question. Less confusion that way. Why he didn't use System settings though is beyond me...

so is that a way for us to DIY????

[Interknet]

I live in UK, and I prefer 12-hour format.

[DiscoJer]

Europeans complaining about 12 hour time have always confused me. Don't you have clocks there? Non-digital ones, I mean.

Especially in England, you'd think with Big Ben and all, you'd understand 12 hour time, since of course, that's where it's originally from.

At least you don't use Metric time. Even France couldn't put up with it.

Considering it's literally one guy working on everything, and he's also trying to put out new content... yes, I'd say this is extremely low priority.

It's called military time for you yanks that don't understand either the 24 hour format or the metric system.

The US military uses 24 hour format, y'know.
I'm in the US and I find it odd if someone here hasn't even heard of that method of time counting, even if it's not the average day to day method. Ah well. We're also using metric labeling on a lot of products these days, but most still don't actually learn it per se/couldn't do any conversions.

Anyway ... adding such an option to the game wouldn't require a lot of time/work I'd think, so having it available as a setting checkbox doesn't seem that big a request. Reasonable to suggest.

It definitely could, the game actually uses 24 hour format but displays in 12 hour xD
For example if it's 6:10PM the game data actually says 1810.
