Vacation mode
Chapter 18 of 21 · see all chapters
☀️ Vacation mode makes two narrow promises: while you are away, the engine will not generate crises aimed at you, and your login streak is frozen. You set a return date up to 90 days ahead in Settings, under Vacation Mode, and until that date passes the daily crisis generator skips your account entirely. That is the whole effect in the current build — the crisis generator and the login streak are the only two systems that read the flag.
It is worth being precise about what it does not do, because the name invites assumptions. It does not silence the inbox, and it does not summarise what you missed on return. It also does not pause your save, because nothing does: the game date only moves when you advance time, so the world waits for you whether vacation mode is on or off.
What it is for: the crisis generator occasionally produces a forced decision aimed at your club — a board demand, a player ultimatum, an injury scare written as a story event, each with its own set of answers. If you are stepping away for two or three weeks and do not want to come back to a stack of those, set the date before you go. When you return and run a tick, the world moves exactly as it always would — fixtures, training, transfers and board confidence all behave as normal.
Using vacation mode
- Open Settings and go to the Vacation Mode section.
- Pick a return date in the future, up to 90 days out — the server rejects anything earlier or further away.
- Leave it set. The daily crisis job skips your account for as long as that date is in the future.
- Back early? Clear the date in the same panel — it takes effect immediately and leaves no trace on the save.
