== "While you were away" ==

When you load the game after being away, Primal Idle resolves the elapsed time through the same simulation used during live play, then presents a '''"While you were away"''' summary. It reports what accumulated in your absence — experience gained, levels earned, items collected, and progress on timed activities.

Offline time is '''capped at 18 hours''' (extendable to 24 with the Offline Satchel from the [[Shop]]); any time beyond the cap is not simulated. If you were away for less than a minute the game still applies the progress but skips the summary screen. See [[Getting Started]] for the practical implications of the cap.
