How to stop time passing on a private server?

I played singleplayer on localhost yesterday and after shutting down the server with ctr+c and closing the terminal I find out on the next day that my rabbit clothes are now rags which happens after 5 hours. Weirdly enough my carrots had not turned into seeds so what is going on? Does the game use your clock or something

Yes. Instead of constant count down, objects store just info at what date/time to turn to next decay stage.
If carrots ware just watered when you quit, then they will only mature but not turn to seeds.

Only way around this is to edit transition time so objects decay later or remove decay transition completely or change "time stretch" property of containers so stuff in them takes longer to transition.

There is also setting for item culling on server to remove old unused parts of map.

And how does one stop decay? It's probably a settings file but I can't find it. Also would that make some parts of the game impossible?

Whole game engine relays on items turning into other items, be it by player or passing of time. You can't just turn off time but you can change how items behave.

Try out my fork of OHOL Open Life Reborn. Just increased the decay time of rabbit fur cloths by a lot.
I think also the server does not count time once offline, but not 100% sure, since i implemented it one year ago.
If you dont like Ai or decay, just switch it to zero in Settings.txt
