We life in a time where we all should manage our energy usage better. That might be cause of the climat crisis or cause the war, or cause its getting more and more expensive. No matter your reason, all players should feel the same about it.

Also with the trading rework the need for worker imperiums that run 24/7 is higher now. 

PA should give us the posibility to have our workers work for us even if we are offline, as long as they have stamina. This wont be gamebreaking, but it will help save energy for a lot of ppl. The same oc should go for farmes that should keep growing when I am offline.

No auto-feeding of workers or offline afk activities is asked for here, just let the workers actual work for me without me beeing online and watching them! 

Farms would be annoying if they grew while offline because they would go beyond the optimal % range for harvest and you can't deweed unless you use workers, but if you do that then you can't do it yourself to level. Offline farming would defintively break it.

I don't know why you're referrencing real life for prices that happen in-game since there's no reflection. The reason why prices are going up is because people aren't motivated to life skill anymore since all life skills are horribly imbalanced (fix is coming aparently circa june 2021). Prices fluctuate and go up / down and you're better off doing your pre-orders on the CM and fighting things or w/e while waiting.

If workers were to work offline, it would only decrease the value of items and make life skilling even worse. This is a big no from me. They just need to increase the price of lifeskill items, not decrease it. Workers aren't meant to be a means to an end.

The reason why they not work offline is to force the players to keep being online. Your suggestion would literately remove their main point, in addition to obliterating the already low price worker produced stuff have.

Optimal % range hasn't been a thing for years now. There's no difference anymore between harvesting at 100% and 200%

Ye perfect % range ist a thing since forever, so that doesnt matter. You will always get the optimal doesnt matter if it sits at 200% since forever.

And what I mean with rl prices is energy that u totaly need a ton to let ur pc run forever. If I let my PC run over nigth I get my materials for alchemy, cooking and even more important: wood and ore for crates.

Letting those nodes run over night wont break the market more, cause its not that big of a different, cause most lifeskillers already have the pc running overnight.

But I think that as humanity we have to be more careful about our consummtion of energy as a whole. There isnt more money in for PA if they "force" us to stay online. It just looks nice in the numbers I guess, but that shouldnt even tip the scale if u have energy crisis and enviromal crisis on the other hand. 

i also like to have it offline, but it likely won't happen.

Wait, really? This whole time? Please excuse me while I go REEEE real hard at how much more difficult I made my life xD
