Re: "Tick" timings
I didn't realise, but have a character getting slaughtered by animals, so even knowing which half hour out of the three means I can avoid being attacked but still not starve.
Reveal to me the mysteries
Can you tell me what it means?
Explain these motions and metaphors
Unlock these secrets in me
Describe the vision, the meaning is missing
Won't anybody listen?

Re: "Tick" timings
In-game time, animal attacks (at the moment) take place around
2h–1:06—09.
Basically between six and nine minutes on every odd hour, though I've seen a few happen at three and four minutes.
At least, as far as I've noticed, after having a character attacked by every single thing in a location and surviving without even a scratch.

I'll add them back in then.

Yes, that matches the information EchoMan gave me. The ticks have a major period of two Cantr hours: every two Cantr hours 9 minor ticks occur, distributed uniformly over a period of 32 Earth minutes, or 6.4 Cantr minutes

Re: "Tick" timings
I am glad to report that the threat of zombies has been subdued, so we can all enjoy the rest of our April in peace.

Re: "Tick" timings
Oh, good! I was really worried about those zombies, you know, coming and eating our brains and consequently turning ourselves to zombies.

Re: "Tick" timings
Starvation seems to still be off by a half hour.

Re: "Tick" timings
Well, the source I used to get the starvation timing was a bit uncertain. I wonder if it was ever right. Does the application give a time which is 30 minutes late, or 30 minutes early? I suppose if the rest of the ticks are accurate then I will just adjust the starvation tick individually.
In fact, if someone posts the in-game time at which a starvation occurred, that will allow me to determine it more accurately.

Re: "Tick" timings
That would then imply that my timing for that tick is 60 minutes late... which is odd, because I recently shifted them backwards by 60 minutes, implying that they were 120 minutes late before then. Well... I'm going to test to see if the other timings are correct.

Re: "Tick" timings
Yes, now they look correct again. Btw in ubuntu I can open tick timings by right clicking in the task bar, but not in windows.

Because the menu item is missing? Well, by default I have it not displayed - it can be enabled by going into settings - but I see that it's a more popular feature than I anticipated, so I might change it to automatically be present by default (or just remove the option).

Re: "Tick" timings
Ah, ok. I must have completely forgot that I ever did that on Ubuntu. Thanks.
