The time clock is a very useful item in EG1 that can be used to control staffing in certain rooms. Rooms without a time clock will automatically be turned on with normal priority, but placing a time clock gives greater control over how many minions will work in a room.

Once a time clock is placed, double-clicking the time clock brings up the room staffing control panel. The slider is set to yellow (on) by default, which means exactly as many minions as needed will work in the room. Moving the slider left to red (off) disables the room completely, freeing up minions for other jobs around the base and also disabling power usage for all items in the room. The slider also has nine green positions on the right, each representing one additional minion who will wait in the room ready to fill any openings immediately when another minion leaves to refill their stats. The negative effect of this is that the extra minions are unavailable for filling other jobs or performing other tasks on the island.

Time clocks can be placed in the following rooms:

Cost: $500

Wear: 200

Heat: 0

Power: 0

Size: Flush against wall, 1 hotspot tile

-The timeclock is a very useful item in EG1 that can be used to control staffing in certain rooms. Once a timeclock is placed in a room, you can set the room to be overstaffed (with extra minions waiting to immediately take the place of any minion who leaves), fully staffed (with exactly one minion per job in the room), normally staffed (with most jobs filled, but the possibility of a few going unstaffed for a while) or off (turning off staffing and power usage entirely). Rooms without a timeclock will automatically be turned on with normal priority, but building one gives greater control over how many minions are needed to be working in the room.
