Just curious bout a few things, how long are the years, and are they different per speed setting, I've not done any time changing (I have a brand new game, never changed clock, but I have Paused with the spacebar, not the menu option) and it seems that the aging stops sometimes with that. The baby countdowns seem to work, but the aging doesn't. No I don't do the pause to do the double collecting that seems to really mess things up, I started doin it in a good game I had but then I discovered that my Nursing mothers weren't counting down, and the ages were not goin up, I had a 13 y/o that stayed 13 for like 6 hours!! was so ready for him to hit the work force

Yes it does mess with the times

Is this non-aging problem fixable? maybe by speeding the time up for a bit, then putting it back?
My current furthest game is fine (except this nobody aging problem ) the food clocks fine, the only baby clock I've had fine, ages, not going up... Is this glitch that is fixable, (maybe it's from pausing shorter times too often, I've done that in the game I started)

The only way I found, was to let it run it's self out. It will eventually straighten it's self out, just don't pause, until it corrects it self

I guess I need to get used to system clock games I now have fishing!! and my guys are aging correctly (just wasn't as fast as I had thought some where.) nother question, when getting collectables, do the rarity order make them worth more, for example does the last shell make more tech then the first shell of the rare groups, or is each group the same amount of tech?

each group is the same

There are three groups of collectibles, common, uncommon, and rare. Duplicates are worth tech points as follows:

I knew after the first one they were for tech points just didn't know the exact amount for rares and uncommon's.
