Both of my poles are underwater, but the planets are not mostly ocean, one is about half ocean, but my portal planet is mostly land. Glad I installed the scanner thing to my Nautilon 🤿

Just got home an hour ago and found out about this:

Can someone just give me a thumbs up if the following is correct

UTC time = Zulu Time (on the zone scale PONZAB)

UK is now in ALPHA time (as its summer), so +1 to Zulu time

I need to do a sync at UTC 00:00 = local UK time 01:00 in the morning (thats when I intend to do this, other stuff to do until then when I am free)

And really we dont need screenshots, just get the in game time at 00:00 UTC

* * *

I have the form open ready to submit, found my 0,0 (just my luck 😃 its underwater so I built one of those small diving bell type bubble things with a save point next to it, when stood inside its exactly 0,0).

Edit: Thank you for the thumbs up 🙂

@chickenbone I’ll take a pic then too, just because it’ll be fun to see the match, but looks like it ended up not being the direction needed for the form. (I wonder if extra data hurts or if it just gets thrown out!)

It’s safer underwater on my portal planet, it is still -104.8 C, but not the almost constant ice lightning and tornadoes that happen up top. You could say it’s polar!

There is a 1-2 second gap with my artifact and the in-game time. At our scale, one real second equals 48 planet seconds, so that offset barely registers since there are no seconds in-game.

If you stand at your 0,0 coords, and you look at both your in-game planet time and my artifact’s planet time, they are in sync with a margin for error of 1 to 2 seconds. Never deviating throughout the day.

Your data matches mine! 💖
