How does the game define "Earth Time"?

Not actually how that works, otherwise I could just go in and change my computer's clock and have the resets happen whenever I wanted.

The many of hours until the reset will not change, but the displayed reset time ingame will change.


time until next reset: still 9 hours and 20 minutes ( [time until reset + current time of your machine] )

Yeah like I said, it is all based on the clock you are playing on, not sure why the OP would state "that is not how it works" when it does while they are the one asking the question
