Bug: Home showing wrong amount of days from goods

Post by Trynez » Fri Jul 06, 2018 6:26 pm

When in home it shows how much time you have of the food and drinks in your buildings. It does not show accurately though. As I'm pretty much set to die any time now, as it said I had stocked up for 8 days, but I ran out of food a couple days ago as far as I can see from my mails. Last mail from yesterday showed 33% health, enough drinks but no food.
I doubt 30 tea can hold for 8 days too as it shows I'm consuming 15 every mail :)

Sorry, not quite getting what you're describing: Was it saying '8 days remaining' when you first went away or '8 days remaining' when you returned after your break?

Weren't you away for more than 8 days? I had noticed your absence and topped up your stocks a bit after about a week..

You would consume your supplies in a shorter period than the total time left to live (coz you'll live a couple more days after all the drinks have gone) - so you would expect to have run out of food some time ago.

The calculation for the leave screen can't be 100% accurate (hence why it says 'approximately') but it shouldn't be off by more than an hour or two - its effectively the same code that is run on the server to update your health that generates the leave screen value.

It was saying "8 days remaining" before I went away.
I thought it worked that way, I just think it's a little early to run out of food compared to what it approximately calculated for me to be alive, and to the first couple of years of dying a bit heh. Probably just me :)

Cheers!
