Daily hunting

It seems my characters cannot hunt every day at the same time any more. They could until a few days ago.
I am used to let them hunt at the same time each day, just after a project tick. I now have to wait for the next tick, so the hunting time moves forward each day. This is really inconvenient.
What happened?

The ticks moved after time froze for a short time, that might be the reason.

Wouldn't it work to just skip a day and then resume your old schedule?

I have done that (monday -> tuesday), Swingerzetta, but the problem is still there. Will try again from off today.

Still not good.

This could be caused by you being more efficient in the skill for your project now than you used to be.

Just curious Echo, as I've been following this, how that affects things?

Higher skill allows you to complete projects faster, while lower skills makes it slower. Or am I missing something?

Yeah, hunting doesn't work like other projects do.

No, but Bmot was hunting after a project completion every day, and can't do that now, so perhaps his projects does now complete faster, and the hunting has not yet reset.
Very schematic:
Code: Select all
X----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----X----| <- Time, X = hunting reset
X-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----X--¤--| <- Project before skill change, X = project completion, ¤ = did hunt
X---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---X-#-| <- Project after skillup, X = project completion, # = tries to hunt

It was me in fact, not Bmot.
Hunting is in no way related to projects. ALL my characters hunting have to wait longer than a day now.
I only mentioned the project tick, so it would be clear where exactly in the tick cycle my characters hunted (projects are not completed, they just advance):
0:00 start of tick
0:30 reduce tiredness, animals attack, weather (somewhere here...)
0:45 sailing
1:10 land movement
1:40 projects
--------> my chars are hunting here
2:00 reduce tiredness (this may have moved....)
3:00 end of tick
Where in this cycle is hunting block from the day before (8 ticks ago) released?
When i timed it today, it was at the projects moment(1:40), almost 9 ticks after hunting took place. It should be a full tick earlier (as it was until a week ago).

I didn't hunt loads when I played once I had all my characters in something looking like civilisation, but I did notice that often I would have to wait an extra (IRL) hour or so relative to the previous day before I could hunt. Much less often I'd be able to hunt ~20 IRL minutes earlier than the day before.

*pulls hair out*
Is this something that can be fixed? Assuming the in-game time hasn't been jumped forwards or backwards in the last day it's been more than 26 real-life hours since one of my characters hunted and he still can't hunt again.
edit: was able to hunt shortly before 27 hours had passed
