Vacation mode

☀️ Vacation mode is a deliberate, opt-in pause designed for real life. You set a "vacation until" date up to 90 days into the future from /game/settings → Vacation Mode. While vacation mode is active, several engine systems pause or soften for your account: the daily crisis generator skips your user entirely, the daily streak counter applies a shield (gap days during vacation do not count against streak decay), and certain inbox categories (rumours, fan chatter) are suppressed to avoid coming back to a noise wall.

What does NOT pause: sim_date still moves if you time-skip during vacation; AI clubs still negotiate transfers (you just get message digests on return); board confidence still drifts based on results. Vacation mode is not save-pause — it is a personal "I am not playing actively, do not generate stressors aimed at me" flag. You can cancel it at any time by clearing the date. It is fully reversible and leaves no permanent state on the save.

Using vacation mode

Open /game/settings → Vacation Mode section.

Pick a return date up to 90 days out. Confirm.

A banner appears across the dashboard reminding you vacation is active.

When you return, open the inbox — a single "While you were away" digest summarises events.

Either let vacation expire naturally on the return date, or clear it early via the same settings page.

💡Streak rewards in ManageFC use soft decay (-1 per gap day, not reset to zero), but vacation shield is still useful for trips longer than a week — your streak stays exactly where it was on the day you left.
