| Jan 23, 2015 at 1:51 | comment | added | Vanzanz | @Bob and Joe - I used to run 4 worlds simultaneously for AFK farming, waiting for blood moons (before they fixed the corrupted goldfish). The basic server wouldn't pause when you minimize it, so you did not want to be in bad spots. My "greenhouses" would always fill up. I did think that you had to have a character in the world though. | |
| Jan 22, 2015 at 23:06 | comment | added | Ryan | @JohnCleaver I'm using the tAPI server so our results may be different. I guess for a real answer we would have to use the default Terraria server, since other implementations may very. As far as testing it, My server always starts at dawn, so if I join right as I bring the server up I always start playing at dawn. However, last night, I stayed in a single player world for a bit before getting on my server and when I did it was the middle of the night. | |

@ryan How did you test that? I tested on my own MP server (running on tshock) using the time command and got the opposite result-- The time when I left and the time when I returned were the same, even though over 5 minutes had passed in real time. This post also seems to support my conclusion.

| Jan 22, 2015 at 17:26 | comment | added | Ryan | @Bob and Joe, Bob's initial thought is correct, as long as the map is running in a server instance then time is being simulated. (Source: I was doing this last night :P ) | |
| Jan 22, 2015 at 16:39 | comment | added | Bob | @Joe It should, yes. (Note: I haven't actually confirmed this, and it's been a while since I last played Terraria. It's possible that the dedicated server pauses processing when there's no players connected. I do not believe this to be the case, and it's simple enough to test. I do remember a whole lot of crimson after leaving the server running overnight...) | |
| Jan 22, 2015 at 16:34 | comment | added | Joe | @Bob interesting. Can that run my base world while I'm playing my character in another world? | |
| Jan 22, 2015 at 15:22 | comment | added | Bob | There is an exception: AFAIK the player doesn't have to be physically in the world; the world just has to be running. You can leave the world running using the dedicated server launcher. | |
