FYI just for kicks I shut it again...I guess third time's the charm? It worked...

I bought the game from BigFish, and was wondering, how will we get the patch? Will we have to uninstall the game and lose all we have done? Pay again? Sorry, just a bit curious and a little nervous.

You won't have to pay again, but we can't be certain at this point about being able to preserve your games in progress. The details will be made available when the update is released.

Well, I can start over again, lol, already re-started several times as I refine my strategy. Thank you for the quick reply LadyCFII.

It is very much appreciated by me and many others that you and the other developers are so involved with us on the forums. Thank you all for 2 wonderful games, a great support service and endless possibilities to come.

OK im confused, theres a problem with the fire??? I put wood on the fire and my highest burn time no matter how much wood i put on is 9 hours, and it DOES go out when that timer has expired even when the game runs out, is that the glitch *9 hours*? or am i missing the glitch???

and im running 1.00 from Big Fish

Take your speed off 2x time!

I get 40 hours @ 1/2 time or 20 hours at normal time.

Oh yeah i know i got a shorter time on X2 speed ,, but i like it that way. im not complaining ,, just wondering if im missing a glitch ,, maybe me not having the glitch might help the team figure out where its comming from to help those who do have it.

I think the fire has to be out for an hour after the timer shows zero, before it is really out. I checked the log after the timer went to zero and it still said that the fire was helping the researchers with an extra point. I restarted after an hour and the fire was gone.

Yes, the timer works in such a way that when it shows zero time remaining, the fire it in its last hour.
