yeah, for the game tick i went the other way though. alarms fire on schedule, resources calculated on-read from timestamps. a player can close the tab for 8 hours and the world still moves correctly when they come back, without holding any per-session state.

Fair enough, I didn't mean to criticize your work in any way, or even buy into a criticism of it. I was really just pointing out to GP that their "or" was actually an "and".

no worries at all, didn't read it as criticism. fair correction too, DOs do both, i just leaned alarms-first for this use case. appreciate you keeping the thread accurate.
