Can I somehow go back to turn based? I’m not quick. Latest experimental. ---

Go to options and turn it to 0.00? 😑 The option is called ‘automatic zombie advancement’ and is in the ‘general options’ ---

Wait. Let me get this straight, the new versions have real time zombie movement without waiting for you??? ---

No. they have the option to let everything take 1 turn every ‘X’ seconds you are inactive. To encourage more active thinking and faster, more intense gameplay on your feet. ---

Oh, DO’h. I thought that was the rate at which the zombies turned into more freaky zombies, and it was 0.00; I like a little advancement so I set it up. Thanks PK. ---

[quote=“pisskop, post:2, topic:12372”]Go to options and turn it to 0.00? 😑 The option is called ‘automatic zombie advancement’ and is in the ‘general options’[/quote] Should be renamed. I’m glad I didn’t change it, I thought this was related to evolution… ---

aye. it affects more than just zombies, and its time based constraints, not automatic. ---

Naming it “automatic zombie advancement” is the dumbest fucking idea I’ve heard of. Making it ON by default would be the second dumbest. ---

Edit: [Renamed "automatic zombie advancement" into "Realtime turn progression". by Soyweiser · Pull Request #18120 · CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA · GitHub](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/18120) made PR to rename it. Default of this feature is off btw. ---

Uncertain where I read the claim that it was on by default. Apologies for the mix-up. ---
