It has often been very useful for me to play Rising World, and then, when night falls, wait it out while doing tasks I need to do, only to return to play when day breaks. In servers, this is possible. Time continues to run even if you tabbed out to something else for a while. But in singleplayer, even when you have the option to not pause the game when in a menu, if you tab out, the game stops running. I would like an option for singleplayer to run like a server so that time keeps moving even when you're just chilling at your virtual home while you tab out to do something else. I think it'd be a good option, as that means that plants and crops will be growing and weather changing. Thanks!
Please let us have an option to keep the game running in the background!

Why don't you just go to sleep and skip the night?

Because I want to afk and have the night pass, basically. It's basically a good time to take a break from the screen, and it's inherently timed by the time passing in the game.
You can take a break any time though

I understand what you mean bluewind95
In single-player, when you tab away from the game, it loses focus and pauses. That’s normal behaviour.
What you’re describing is the ability to, for example, plant a tree, tab out to do something else (like emails), then return later and find that the tree has continued to grow.
I can’t see that mechanic changing in the short term.
As a workaround, you can set up a local server instead. There’s no need to open any ports on your router — just connect to it yourself using the loopback address (127.0.0.1). That way, the game continues running even when you tab out, and only you can access the server.

Additional: setting up a server is very simple.
