Editing Game Time

Game time passes differently than actual time.

==Hours==
A game hour is equal to 600 seconds (i.e. 10 minutes). So when food or water consumption states <code>X per hour</code>, <code>X</code> is being subtracted every 600 seconds, ''not'' every 3,600 seconds.

==Seconds==
The speed at which seconds pass appears to vary by computer. For example, 18 seconds in real life may be 22 seconds in the game.

===How to measure game seconds===
#Connect a [[battery]] to any [[:Category:Equipment|equipment]] that uses 1 MW (most idle equipment does)
#Charge up the battery, then disconnect the power source from the battery
#The battery's power will decrease by 1 every game second
