Loftar wakes up every single day and actively decides timers being useable, but non-composite/"ugly numbers" would be worse than them being intentionally misleading.

IDK how to say this nicely, but if you said that to a psychologist they'd give you an autism diagnosis on the spot. I often struggle with perfectionism too, so I empathize.

Oh, you mean for the things that are intentionally inaccurate. The "7h 17m 41s" syntax is for curiosities, though, and the intentionally inaccurate specifications wouldn't include that many parts.

Since you are already fiddling with numbers, add a hard cap to combat stats, and move the game towards trading, crafting, and exploring already, rather than botting combat skills you lout!
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

Best suggestion I've seen so far.
  • Unambiguously different from real word
  • Recognisable references to day/week without additional information
  • Looks good

The year isn't 365 days. Why does the day have to be 24 hours?
