I have assembled Wrecking Ball at 8pm
The next day I could bash at 6pm even tho it said 3 ingame days are required for it to dry

Re: Wrecking Ball
I assume the statement "1 ingame day is absolutely equal 8 IRL hours" is quite discussible..

Re: Wrecking Ball
Im pretty sure it has been like this for year at least.

I'm not sure that I have a strong argument against sketch colors - Jorb, November 2019

If you do think that "1 ingame day is EXACT 8 IRL hours" than 745/3=248 IRL days were passed since world's start. Currently we have 269th day of the year, so 269-248=21, So the w9 should have been launched on Jan, 21th, but it wasn't
Actually, you can go further and make more maths. 18th of Feb is 49th of year, so 269-49=220, and 745/220=3,38, and 24/3,38=7,10 So One game day is roughly 7 IRL hours, and 3 gamedays is near 21-22 IRL hours, what fits perfectly in the OPs observation.
Not a bug.

Re: Wrecking Ball
I meant that in general things that have to dry or set for 24 hours really set for few hours less.Damon_Cooper wrote:As wrecking ball was surely implemented not a year ago, i assuming it was an answer to me, so.shubla wrote:Im pretty sure it has been like this for year at least.

Same applies for all.

Re: Wrecking Ball
Everything is measured in in-game days whether posted on the forums as real time or in-game time. It's been known for a while that game time does not equal 3x real time. At fastest, it's more like 3.2x, but I'm not aware of anyone saying it has been slower than 3x (exception being world 6 with the horrid, horrid server lag). I think in the discussion I read someone reported a village totem drying in just over 20 hours, which would be more like 3.5x, but almost everything else I've seen never reported more than a couple hours.
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.

It is 3.38x

Re: Wrecking Ball
Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear in my post that this was from the discussion earlier this year. I only recall one person in the thread reported anything faster than a couple hours early. Maybe I can find it again. I can't recall off the top of my head what it was under and searching for the typical terms gets a ton of unrelated posts or gets nothing at all. The conclusion wasn't specific about the amount of variance there can be.
edit: damn, i'm being blind again... never mind me.

Re: Wrecking Ball
Ingame day is about one third of a real one. Not a bug.
