This is the concept I think would adapt to any class that needs clock info keeping in mind the goal is to reduce amount of variables in save / load.

> int32 can go up to 2,147,483,647. As seconds thats 596,523 hours, 68 years. If more time is needed than perhaps a float might be a better option. I find this way easier to manage.

Suggestions or alternatives are more than welcome. 🙏
