Save game file question

[itsme86]

For the CREW in the save game file, there's a property called "ToD" which, I believe, stands for Time of Death. My question is, what time format is the value of this property in? It looks like 151665893.41333.

My best guess is the number of milliseconds since the "beginning of time"... total game time for that save file.

Anyone know the answer?

It might not even be referring to Time of Death...

[Wait- Was That Important?]

It's probably not Time of Death, that doesn't seem like an important statistic to record. There was a thread about this here awhile ago, but it was lost in the April Forum Wipe- maybe the devs will grace us with a response?

Found this on Google search of - kerbal space program tod - http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/20760-For-crews-what-do-these-lines-in-the-save-file-mean

There are a couple of other threads on the persistence file entrys, ToD entrys with this google search result . Doesn't completely answer istme86 question, but its a step in the right direction.

I was fairly certain it was Time of Deployment.

No, it's a counter that determines when after dying the crew can be used again. There's no permanent death in KSP yet, although sometimes it bugs out and some crew members stop being deployed.

It's it's age of the game save in seconds I believe, the current age is given by UT = at the top of the flightstate section.
