No worries as long as extern happens at midnight

everytime i have been in a game during DST some wacky stuff happens, planets max out, etc. i recall someone figured out how to avoid that, sing im guessing?

Having the time change far enough after extern is just 1 of the problems. I recommend shutting off automatic time changes on the server so that doesn't happen until you're at keys to fix problems. The change to DST isn't that bad, since you just gain an extra hour and a few extra turns. The change from DST can be a disaster.

The real problem is when the clock jumps back and hour, the timestamps on everything are suddenly off. By going back an hour all of the planets will lose an hour, players that log off might not be able to log back in for an hour, etc. If it was me, I'd disable the time change and then schedule a time that day to take the server down. Take it down, change the time and then see if ppl can log back in. At least then it effects everyone equally.

Why don't you just do the time change before the game starts then turn off the automatic time changes on the server.

Since the turny starts the night before, lol... yeah, that would make sense here.

Of course that's not always the case, sadly.

That's what I've done, set the server time off of daylight savings, and set the game to start at 7PM, which is actually 8 EDT.

Good luck all,

Good luck you guys

I am going to come in if someone needs a player but I wont be at keys until around midnight PST

To be clear, the server is no longer on daylight savings, and so extern tonight will run at 1 AM EDT, and at midnight EST after tonight.
