If builder takes time when you finish building an Idol and it's compromised (not protected by a wall), it gives builder advantage since anybody passing by can't check when they can ninja the Idol.

Sure, but it does not give you a time to begin with, so what am I going to set my timer at?
I'm pretty sure it's like 22 hours or something this world lol

Definitely not 12h

Bare minimum 16, but I'm pretty sure it's 20-24

It seems to be 22 hours, but I'm not sure if that is intentional.

Like vatas, I disagree with having an actual timer on the idol. I know (even if only roughly now) when it finishes. Having other people know when it finishes will greatly increase village theft.

You could also just make it a lore popup once the vidol is constructed that says the hours needed for it to dry and then they can set their own timer accordingly

ATM the only way of knowing an estimated time is previous knowledge of haven, which not everyone has
