Please ignore this one. I never play at half-speed, but had it set that way overnight...didn't realize that the time would show changes in these hours. Problem solved. Dumb me!!
=====================================================
I don't know what happened, but the time left on the fire is 39 hours, the time the mother is nursing is 190 minutes, and the time until new crops is 213 minutes.

I noticed it earlier, shut down & rebooted but no improvement. I haven't done anything with my computer's clock. Help??

Are you sure they are hours and not minutes? Usually the crops and nursing mothers are timed in minutes. I've seen like 11,000 minutes before, but I've never seen it timed in hours.

The first time I saw the fire timer I was like there is no way I'm coming back to light this fire every 39 minutes. Took me a while to realize that one was hours.

Otherwise, I don't know.

oops, yes, it's minutes. I'll change my question. but the time is still way too long. thanks!

Yeah, sometimes it does seem waaay too long. Especially if everyone is starving and you only have the crops or the only female able to have babies is also the only good farmer/scientist/healer you have and you REALLY want her back.
