QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
FAQ
Answers to common questions before you start and while you play.
Rules version v1.0.0Q.How often does the island advance?
One turn every real hour. Updates use minute 00 in UTC; in Japan they also fall on minute 00. The game displays scheduled dates and times in your device's time zone.
Q.Does time stop when I close the app?
No. When you return, elapsed turns are processed in order using the plans and policies effective at each turn. You do not need to keep the app running continuously in the background.
Q.What if I am away for more than 50 hours?
Fifty turns is the scheduling horizon. Catch-up does not stop after 50 turns, and normal operations and events continue after your reservations end. Check food, cash, reserves, and automatic responses before leaving.
Q.How many actions can I reserve?
You can reserve one main action and one support action in each of the next 50 turns, for up to 100 actions. Empty slots still allow production and daily life to continue.
Q.Does canceling a reservation bring later actions forward?
No. Only that slot becomes empty; later times stay unchanged. Use Move or swap this action when you want to change scheduled times.
Q.Do I pay when I make a reservation?
No. Payment happens when the action runs. Reservations do not set aside resources, so the action fails if its execution-time requirements are unmet. Check the forecast for cash-flow problems.
Q.Will a held action run automatically next turn?
No. Read the reason under Waiting to be rebooked in Plan, resolve it, and rebook the action into an empty future slot.
Q.Will more factories always mean more income?
Factories need workers, materials, and operating cash. Fixed upkeep still applies when workers are short. Check actual workers and operating balance before expanding.
Q.Is the forecast guaranteed?
No. It includes already announced events but excludes random events that have not yet been announced. Actual results can change, so keep room for reserves and protection.
Q.Can I play the same island on another device?
The initial version has no accounts, cloud sync, or device-transfer feature. Your island is saved on the device you use to play.
Q.Should I reinstall after a save error?
Reinstalling or deleting app data may remove your island. First read the error, check available device storage, and use Retry. The initial version has no player-facing restore, export, or import screen.
Q.Can I play the game on this website?
This is the official information and manual website. App-store distribution is being prepared, and release links will be provided when available. The development browser version is launched separately.
