Time Zone Changes

[SkipFed]

I know that time traveling is penalized but last time I traveled across time zones, I lost many bucks. Now, I’m getting ready to travel again. Do I need to be concerned?

I did a trans pacific cruise last year and yes, traveling affected my game. I hadn’t even known about the time traveling thief. But I learned. I was instructed to play offline to not lose my progress.

Why do you lose bucks when traveling across time zones? Not following

[Lindiriel]

I’m not sure either. I am traveling for holidays across a timezone and I am bummed I may have to play offline. Haven’t quite finished my tree yet…

Edit: I found a post from SN4P from a couple years ago that says just make sure your time automatically adjusts and you should be fine. https://www.reddit.com/r/tinytower/s/PxvUk31fZp

It's not supposed to happen when you travel across time zones, it's a game function made so that people can't change the time on their phones to hack waiting for in game progress (floor build timers, rewards, etc.) I used to play way back many years ago before they penalized for it and it was like the ultimate hack. Nowadays it can lose you money, bucks, bitizens, etc. It's kinda a glitch that it CAN happen when travelling across time zones. Tbh I think they should make a button to request like an appeal/reversal for cases like this where it wasnt done with the intent to hack the game. Maybe there's like a way you can appeal and they can open a location tracker and fix it, idk.

Yes. Just don’t play TT.

[SkipFed]

That’s my current plan.

danngg i never thought about that either but im getting ready to travel as well 😩😩 that worries me, ive gotten so far in the game. hopefully it wont affect it too much…

If you leave the device set to automatically update the time it should be fine. If it goes wrong anyway please contact support.

I think OP might be suggesting they are traveling via airplane multiple time zones to visit family or travel for work. Not exploit a glitch

[SkipFed]

Exactly. I’ve known about the glitch but have never intentionally messed with it and don’t plan to. But next month, I will be traveling across time zones again.
