Hello Everyone,

For years, I have pretty much had the same tick time. I noticed this week, my tick time, has jumped a little over 24hrs. 26hrs/18mins.
This isn't the first time it's happened with such a large jump. Infact, this is I believe the 3rd time in about 2months.

So, it used to be (maybe still is) that the count down when start after visitor 1 entered after tick or a 30min default, which ever come first. Has this rule been changed? Does the click start to tick after visit #1 no matter how much time has passed? It's a little weird that my time was set for weds, 11:20 EST ( game time would be 4:20( Thurs) and now its more than 26hours ahead. All I can think of is its because visit #1 didn't go in till a full day later which caused the tick to start down. Am I right?

Thanks for all your help guys!

It's because of the 1st visit pretty much. The longer you delay your 1st visit then the more it'll climb up.

I make a habit of always visiting at the same time to be able to keep that time up.

Thanks Macka. I was pretty sure I knew the answer but I was curious if anything had changed. I appreciate you taking the time to answer and clafify.

I did a little digging after I made this post because I didn't want to keep fixing an issue only for it to be repeated. It is indeed due to first visit. Again Tyvm .

While the first visitor does indeed restart the build tick, it's not always aligned to match the time. More than once I've been a few hours late to be the first visitor, and the time to next build is short the amount of time I was late to Citadel, keeping the tick time for the next week the same as the previous week.

I also tried once to move our build tick back by delaying visit to the citadel by 2-3 days. It didn't work and we just lost out on that time to the next tick.

I don't know what other factors determine the actual tick time, but it is definitely more than just when the first person enters.
