Island going asleep.

Hello.

Maybe a BB can anwser the question.

The Info I have.
When an Island is left unattended (no log in), it goes asleep after 24 hours, i.e. the production STOPS. If a friend visits the Island IN this time AND buffs, the 24 hours start over again.
My info is based on the German wiki, quote:

http://www.siedlertools.de/wiki/Grundlagen

The second § (Besonderheiten eines Browserspiels).

This Question was asked in the chat, and as I answered, some other players had the info that the Island shuts down after 48 hours, others said 72 hours.
Even the BBs seemed uncertain.

I would like to put the question again.

If I leave my Island unattended, does it contuine to produce, or does it shut down at some stage...if so, after how many hours/days?

Greetings

I'm fairly certain it will continue to produce until you run out of resources or storage room. It's easy enough to test out on the test server.

In 2011 a BB on another server's forum said it was 48 hrs. When I find the link again I will post it.

My production keeps going even when I log off. :)

I took a break from the game when they introduced the bobbing heads over leader camps in adventures. Those red !'s bugged me so much, I just quit playing for a month.

When I logged on again, either there was a red bobbing ! over a building because resources ran out OR an item stopped producing because the storehouse was full. So in my experience, your island doesn't stop until it hits it's limits.

either 72 or 48hrs after the player stops logging in everything stops...unless you get a visit from a friend then it's 24 hrs
there will be no ZZZZ's over anything but it all stops

oh ic...your island will stop after 3 days.

Thank you all for your responses.

It would be nice if sources could be given. Its all very good writing 48 or 72 hours, but where do these numbers come from?

well since no Zzz's pop-up on island and if a friend visits it starts back up, i suggest you try it yourself and find out for us

cant seem to locate the link again....i sent it to melorr, maybe she still has it

Hey Troll,

you don't seem to have seen my first post. I know the answer. I'm trying to find out why, on the US server, on one knows the answer.

...... and your comments are not very helpfull.

Yours

Hello,

The production of your island will stop 24 hours after logging out. The timer is reset if a friend visits your island and buffs a building.

I have edited the Game FAQ to include this information.

Thank you.

Thank you BB_Endesmor, for the clarification. :):):)

Hallo again,

it seemed to be settled. But no, there seems to be a faction who want to stick to the idea it is 48 - 72 hours. In the help tab I was asked for official sources, as the wiki is not official.

Here they are:

http://forum.diesiedleronline.de/thr...nsel+schl%E4ft

and

http://www.diesiedleronline.de/de/hi...agen-zum-spiel
(Arbeiten die Siedler weiter wenn ich nicht Online bin?)

Those who argue against me have yet to name/show any sources. I've asked BB_Endesmor to get more info on the subject.

You know, this is pretty easy to test yourself, though I'm not clear why it matters, really.

Figure out your hourly production rate of an item over some period of time. Make note of its current level. Leave for 36 hours and return. Figure out how much more of that item you have and divide by your hourly rate. It should roughly equal 24, (that's the number I've heard over the 3 years I've been playing).

Yeah, someone might have visited your island, throwing things off, but you could proactively email your friends, asking them to stay away.

And if a maintenance prevent me to come back before 24 hours, do I lose Production? (coming 1 time per day and stumbling on a maintenance)

It seems to me that it depends on how long you are not logged in for. I was gone for a long time when i returned every mine had collapsed and all fields were empty so any other buildings needing those resc. had the red exclamation mark on it.
The other situation was when i could not log in for a week, then it seemed everything had stopped except the mines which tend to deplete before the 48 hrs. elapsed.

except its 24 hours, not 48...

funny, I am finding my island asleep also, can't buff yet there is a premium above the stone and marble yet can't get the farms to produce wheat.....what's up with that
like I am not spending money cash on the game and feel maybe this is what is happening if no money in a month has been exchanged from players to the owners of this game then I found I can't buff my farms to produce the wheat I need. I have a rent problem in reality so til that is straighten out I am not slurging at this time. yet no wheat and wood can't buff my own stuff, why is that?????

Agreed. This is how it works with. I did this over the summer with a friend when he was gone for a week upgrading his buildings to lvl 5.

Hallo all,

the latest on the subject...
It's not needed to Buff when visiting. Just visiting will start the clock (24h) again.

Have a nice week.

Deichgraf

72 hours.

It's 24h according to BB...and all other sources.

Where do you get such numbers and what is your source?

what if you capped how would you know if it's sleeping?

Having been on vacation for over week, I had logged in once via my hotspot and sent out explorers on 48 hour very long treasure searches (no upgrades)... i logged in 5 days later after getting back to find my explorers with 24 hours remaining on their search.
i was under the impression it was longer, and rumors of buffs prolonging this..

however no friendly buffs on me and it was 24 hours before i went to sleep mode.
