Hi,
Is it me or since the last maintenance, with the removal of the shortened search time for geologists/explorers, it seems to be back to whatever the search time is when a geologist/explorer is purchased regardless of books credited to their profile?
Thanks for looking into this!

I've just tested stone searches on two jollies: one with 3 tomes in "Tendentious Geologist" (30% reduction in search time for minerals) says 42 seconds for the search, and another without that says 1 minute - so on that example at least mine are "reportedly" back as expected.

I did a test with one stone search and it came back in the expected time. So both reported and actual search time was correct. I have not tried any other searches.

Actually I've been testing my "theory" and it seems it is not much the geologists being affected but the explorers. I've got "only" 4 and when sent on duties, the time displayed was the regular time allocated, the reduced search time not showing from the total. So of course, at that point, the question would be "what's the point in investing tomes and codices?"

I have to wait until tomorrow to test my explorers. I'll try to remember to check.

The ones we sent searching during maintenance were recalculated to base time (instead of to science reduced time).
