Explorers/geologists bugged

[Zotamedu]

I have also experienced similar issues - It mainly requires refreshing to rectify and appears to be a graphical bug (primarily).

1. Send out explorers/geologists - times shown should be reduced by affecting skills and extra bonus 20%.
2. Leaving island or refreshing causes timer to reset/ show time without bonus reduced times from event and/or affecting skills
3. Explorers/Geologist return at the reduced time (loot appears in mail/deposits become available) but specialist remains busy in star menu with timer bar still incomplete.
4. Refreshing at this point should clear the graphical error allowing you to resend specialists on their next task.

Hope this helps.

I timed some geologists, it's not purely graphical. They did not find the mines at the promised time. It took longer.

Why they do not just remove it instantly is beyond me.

I dont think its even consistent, I sent 2 exps on gold deposit searches and one took something like 45 mins longer. Both were jollys, and the faster one was actually slightly lower skilled.
I think the lower skilled one got his bonues and the 20% bonus, where as the higher skilled just got the 20%

I live in country, that was under Soviet regime 20+ years ago so I do hate the star sign already. Now, again, the star sign making troubles for me in the game. Do I have to ask: when Stalin's character will be introduced?

And to not be off topic: I do have 2 fully and equally skilled jollys for gold deposits. Both finish searches at the same time, but I got different results in every time. At the deposit's tooltips there are missing "Ore collector" skill, or missing "Speed bonus" or both.
I believe that all are reported statuses form the server(and should be or the game could be cheated) so there is something going on at the server. Hope that this bug will be solved soon.

Mine are definitely bugged. Luckys normally take 11h8m for Vlong search (with book upgrades), but yesterday took 16hours (the usual no-upgrade with books time).

It's time for them to just remove this crap again. They don't need to find the bug and fix it. They just need to remove it. That shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes work to just patch on the version of the game that was used before the last update. Then they can sort the other bug fixes out the next week.

They don't need to find the bug and fix it. They just need to remove it.

I just sent a mail to support suggesting they do exactly that and I would suggest anyone else who feels the same does likewise.

I've sent two mails telling them that already. I'm considering sending a couple more.

This is beyond a joke! Im not even taking advantage of these reduced times for treasure/adv searches as I only search artefact or beans with my 21 explorers.

What should be 10 hr 12 min for my 15 savage is now 12 hrs, what has gone on there?

I don't ever bother to send mail's to support as like ozzy said they haven't got a clue how to fix it!

Is there any word on a solution yet?

i'm not being notified at all when the geologists have found a deposit. no message or sound effect.
