Idle Timer in Seconds vs milliseconds#138

It seems pretty straightforward but I keep gaslighting myself into believing I’m idling far longer than I actually am. Am I reading my idle time as 1 hour and 30 minutes or is it really just 1 minute and 30 seconds?

It would be helpful to add a small “ms” or “millisecond” indicator by the idle timer.

@Christopher Johnson the time unit shown to the user is seconds. If you see 1:30 that means a minute and 30 seconds.

Idle time can go very high very quickly depending on the situation, as it is an aggregate of the idle time of all of your villagers combined. For instance, if you were getting raided, and had to move 15 villagers to your TC, the idle counter would increase at 15x rate, since each second your 15 villagers are idle, you’re adding 15 seconds of idle time to your tally.

I hope this clears out any doubts, but if I’m missing the point please feel free to clarify!

Oh that does! So does that mean tc idle time is the same way? It’s an accumulation of all tc idle time?

That’s correct @Christopher Johnson ! So, when you build extra TCs, your idle TC time will go up faster than real-time if you idle more than one Town Center at a time 🙂

That’s awesome to know, thanks Nova.
Is that listed anywhere in the docs?

When you hover over the stat header on the dashboard a tooltip appears that explains how that stat works. For this to work you must have “Show detailed help tooltips” enabled, which is found in the Casting settings

Great, looks like I didn’t have this turned on. Thanks so much Nova
