Time passing off-screen

So, I left some miners working last night, closed the game, and came back today, I wasn't sure if they would use the off-time working and when I came back today they would had finished, but apparently they don't. Theres a mod or something to make it work that way? (Like Dragons Age Inquisition)

You cant close the game if you want them to keep working. The game has to be running.

I agree that it should look at time that passes in real world and at least apply a percentage of that to the production of your captains and stations. 1 for 1 might be a bit extreme but you should be able to atleast go to bed, wake up and see a hour or twos worth of work done in game.

I don't get why anyone would think that this 'companion app' style gameplay being 1:1 when you're not sitting there with the game running in the background makes any difference at all?

I don't think expecting people to play a 2 hour game session so their miner captain can come back with 1/20th of the ore you would have gotten just mining a sector is reasonable.

My miners give me plenty of Xanion and Avorion, and one in the outer sectors lots of Iron just for the fun of it, while I do other stuff. Sure, could be more effectice mining myself, but why? 6 Miners doing work is just fine, no, not fine, it's overkill. And 5-6 hours of gameplay are quickly done and having a few million more Avorion/Xanion/Iron just to build more stations is fine. (Xanion is only mined to sell for profitsss anyways.)

Also producing "good" fighters takes time. It's just so much fun to see an enemy fleet crumble to a crapload of Tesla/Lightning and Chaingun fighters. Just need to farm the A.I. a bit more, need more carriers!

Yall, that's why I was asking about a mod, it's a very personal choice and would be nice to have it to switch on and off

Nyrin has a mod for that. When you load the game up it calculates time that has passed, and fires off all the ambush chances for that time too. So if you have a bunch of things happening and leave the game for a couple of hours you'll come back to vast wealth ... and a whole bunch of your most vulnerable ships all being attacked in different sectors at once.
