I haven't found the answer to this question yet, I hope some one can help me with the right answer!
If I decide to go on vacation mode today, and currently I have 20 days of merlines on a planet, when I come out of vacation, how many will I have on it, 20? Or they run out as if I wasn't in vacation?
Thanks!

I think they run out as if your not on vacation mate but i'm not 100%, i only think this because when you merlin a planet it says underneath the date its gonna come off merlin, hopefully someone who has experience can confirm. ~T~

You can't PPT and then vac, there is 24h wait period for that.

The reason vac people have a PPT I guess is that vac minimum days is 2 and during that time you will see both PPT and Vac on that acc.

Good question, of which I don't have the answer, but hopefully someone does.

Vacation is meant to "freeze" the account.

There was an issue a while back when people were on Nox and went on Vac Mode and whilst on Vac their g&r continued to decrease by 1 which wasn't meant to happen because the account is meant to be frozen. Jason changed it so that didn't happen.

Based on that I wouldn't be surprised if the Merlins expired during Vac Mode atm.
