its a waste of time to stop production.

I think it would be useful if you could turn everything off by choice rather than just during maintenance time. Then if you are going on holiday or are too busy to be able to keep up with maintaining mines ect on your island you can turn off or pause your island until you are ready.

the island goes to sleep if unattended too long anyway- if not mistaken 48 hours

I cant see any advantages to having things paused so I have to vote no

[Swamp_Rat]

No.....but yes

For regular maintenance that is announced then we have time to prepare...so no.

However if that maintenance over runs then yes. i.e we buff our building and the buff runs out 30 mins after maintenance, but the game update lasts another 6 hours...OH no, my titanium mine is now running unbuffed, my imp gold mine will run out and be destroyed..please stop my production BB !!!!!

I didn't see the poll. It wasn't made clear anywhere in the description there was a yes no poll above the question, it just says 'take part in this forum survey and let us know your preferences:'. I have now voted. Perhaps the description needs looking at and making clearer.

No.

I think the time could be better spent finding a way to make maintanance/udates/hotfixes happen without these rediculousely long downtimes. Other games can do it so why not TSO. I'm not asking you to go right from 4 hours (and in some cases up to 12h) to just a restart of the game, in one go. But please reduce it to a short downtime, then thins whole notion becomes a non-issue.

I have said it before, but I'll say it again, there are game companies out there that can update browserbased massive multiplayer online games while they are running, and the only thing the player notice is if (yes if) they are asked to refresh their game window. And of cause they see the "what's new" window next time they log in.

For me, who has millions of resources sitting in Star Menu, a few hours of stopped production don't matter. The bigger matter for me is that I run the production of some rare resources with buffs only, and I don't want the rare resources go wasted without buffs; or my special mines are destroyed and I have no way to restore them but buying new ones.

I think you should have an option so that people can opt-in or opt-out as they wish.
