• Pause the game, but don't quit
• Put my Laptop in sleep mode. Mine uses about 10% battery in 8 hours. in this mode.
• Wake the lappy from sleep and just un pause and continue with game

This will keep the clock ticking, but may slow down your internet browsing, etc, while on patrol. Also remember that a 12 day patrol, if playing 6 hours a day will equate to 48 days of PC/Lappy being on.


Worst case is, if battery runs out. You still have last save.

But I do no time compression, although 1 hour game for me is slightly more than 1 hour real time. However you then realise days on end without contact is days on end of boredom. But when you get on that hunt, its sweet. But that's how it happened.

How exactly does the weather clock work?
