days accumulated differently between players

[JadedMeiji]

So my brother and I were playing last night, he was the host. the long and short of it is I died and we decided to take a break, when we came back my brother suggested that I didn't rejoin his game to help him stay sane until he could craft the tth... so I watched his game and it took a couple days for him to find the spider gland, get to base them back to me at which point I joined and he revived me... no big deal

But on my world it says day 25 and for him it says day 31.. now again this isn't necessarily a big deal for us except in my game it should have been a full moon but it wasn't... (I am having trouble formulating a coherent phrasing for why this could be problematic.. )

I guess yes with just us two I can just base moon cycles on his days but for larger groups it seems like this could cause group deaths to unexpected werepigs and later when we get rog the glommers items Harder to predict when we go to collect...

I get that he has survived more days but does anyone else think this could cause problems or am I over thinking the difference?

You can hover on the clock and it will show the world clock(the server clock/however long the server has been up). Hope this helps.

 

edit: On the part about Day gap, it is cause he played on for a while and you didn't, so his clock continued while yours was frozen since you weren't playing at the same time.

Time spent as a ghost doesn't count iirc. It can also be caused by one player disconnecting later/sooner from the server than the others. Surely working as designed and as someone else said if you mouse over the clock you see the world time and that's the exact same for everyone.
