Editing Getting Started (section)

== Offline progression ==

Primal Idle keeps advancing while you are away. When you return, the game simulates the time that passed using the exact same rules as live play, then shows you a '''"While you were away"''' summary of what you gained (see [[Gameplay]] for details).

'''Offline is capped at 18 hours.''' Time beyond the cap is not simulated, so it is worth checking in at least once a day to restart or redirect your active action. The cap can be extended up to '''24 hours''' by buying ranks of the '''Offline Satchel''' in the [[Shop]].

Very short absences still count — no progress is lost — but the summary screen only appears after you have been away for at least a minute.
