Tired of calculating between normal time and military time. Pick one.

[Anker]

Don't have my watch run in 24 hour time and then civilians give me clues on seeing people at AM or PM. Pick one time format for the whole game to run on and stick to it. Doing otherwise is annoying and serves no purpose. I'd recommend 12 hour time, if only because it'll be familiar to the vast, vast majority of your audience moreso then military time.

I'm not reading this whole thread, but it's safe to assume it's a joke topic, right?

Seems real to me. As a person who struggled with the conversion for a while I do kinda think it should be an option to have it all simplified but I frankly doubt we'll get that so a modder will come along and fix it somehow.
I personally think if people are automatically converting to the am-pm system anyways from military time (as i know it, 24 hour clock for others) then it should be kept as the standard.
isn't that time format mainly used for coordinating military efforts more than anything and we use the am-pm timeframes for work hours and other civilian things? Not like we have a team to coordinate with. (also why would a corporate run government keep a divide going in time systems?)

12 hour clocks use the am/pm.

Digital clocks tend to use 24 hours as it removes the need to add an am/pm indicator (reducing the production cost of the clock from not needing as many LEDs or logic gating which side of midday you are etc)

It's a UK dev and America is legit the only place that calls it military time and I doubt we make up a majority of the playerbase. This is kinda like asking everyone else to use the imperial system because we don't understand metric.

Or maybe they could make an option for it u smooth brain

01:00 -> 12:00. Easy to tell the time.
13:00-> 24:00. Just subtract 12.. It's really not that hard.

[Mystry]

100% agree, i really want an option to select either 24 hr or 12 hr time.
id also like an option to see square FEET instead of square meters, but the time thing is by far the bigger annoyance

i don't mind a QoL for americans for AM and PM but i think it won't help much if you are already struggling with something like subtract 12 from 13 to 23.
And in most country in EU we use 15h - 19h - 21h to tell the hour, in fact we use both especially when it easy to tell when it's the morning or the afternoun we use 1 to 12 and when it's for specific, or job etc ... we commonly use 13 to 24.
It's cultural i guess.

Picking one and sticking to it is a silly idea that would only ever happen in a dictatorship. some people use 12hr time and others use 24hr time, it's like asking that everyone choose glasses or contact lenses. The game is set in a world where people act like real people and so in the UK you will find some people use 12hrs while others use 24, just as some of us use metric and others use imperial. We're not a dictatorship who forces everyone to speak the same, at least not yet anyway.
