-/* --- 1 Day is 74 ticks ---
-* The game's internal structure is dictated by ticks. The date counter (date_fract) is an integer of
-* uint16 type, so it can have a max value of 65536. Every tick this variable (date_fract) is
-* increased by 885. When it overflows, the new day loop is called.
-* * this that means 1 day is : 65536 / 885 = 74 ticks
-* * 1 tick is approximately 27ms.
-* * 1 day is thus about 2 seconds (74*27 = 1998) on a machine that can run OpenTTD normally
