just completely freeze everything during maintenance. we have no access anyway. then unfreeze with all buffs etc continuing from where they left off. I believe everything is controlled from your end so the problems should be small.
Please don't, it will throw of my timings, i try to live a very regular life
No, I want my home island to remain active during regular maintenances (i.e. keep producing/extracting goods during regular maintenances)
Subnote - what would be useful is a local (to only my island) freeze button. This way I can CHOOSE to stop everything on my island if there is maintenance coming up. 95% of the time i would not.
But a wholesale stop? No thanks!
I also like the "C) dont mess with it or something else will break" that a member posted on page 1
no
For the depleting mines problem, an alternative option could be to have the game automatically put mines to sleep just before the last production run that would deplete it, if that last run falls inside a maintenance window. When people then log in after the maintenance, they still have the choice to refill the mine or just wake it up so it would almost instantly deplete so geologists can a new deposit again.
But halting the entire economy is too drastic; it has too much disadvantage (as pointed out by others).
Is it 1st April today or what ;-) ? Just no. Period.

no problem
If any stop to production should be added only some kind of vacation mode - I know production stops after 24h if nobody visits the island but if there are some Pepping Tom's this way you would have more control over this during the period you are not able or you don't want to connect (everyone needs a break from time to time).
And if anybody chooses to use this for maintenance be my guest
No
