I am working the trees on that farm right now, and the crops still have 4.2 hours left till harvest time. I did notice it with my wheat that I had planted before, but thought I had miscalculated or something. So I when I irrigated last night, I watched to see when this crop would be ready - how many hours.

Maybe you are calculating your times wrong then. Wheat is a 2 day (40 hour) crop, so irrigating it would change to 20 hours. The oat is a 3 day (60 hour) crop so it would change to 30 hours though since you were not able to irrigate imediately that would shift the amount of time.
Try writing them down to make sure that you are actually seeing a problem. Then if it still is off after that then we can report it.

I'm sorry, but that is the most ridiculous answer I have ever heard. I know the amount of time it takes to grow wheat and oats. Just because I didn't write it down, you think there is no problem? I do believe if the crop states it has 20 hours left till harvest and then it's irrigated and then it states it has 10 hours till ready to harvest, and it's been 18 hours since then - there IS a problem. Please report it. I realize you are just a moderator, and can't do anything, but I would appreciate in the future if you would stop trying to act like people don't have a problem because you don't think they do. How ridiculous. I've spent a ton of money on this game and paid for that irrigating sprinkler, it needs to work. And yes, I will send a post to slash-key as well. I appreciate your time, even though it was a waste of mine. Thank you.

Hi Tiggeragin,
I am sorry you feel it is a waste of your time. It is not that I don't think you have a problem. I am just trying to get all the information together to try and see exactly what the problem is before reporting this to the developers. Since you are the first and only one so far who has reported this then I would like to gather facts before we report it so the developers know exactly what they are looking for.
If it was 20 hours and you saw it change to 10 hours and now 18 hours later it isn't ready then it may be that the change was not saved. This where the problem may be. Did it show the "I" for irrigated when you checked it at 18 hours?

Yes, it does show the I. Please come over to see for yourself, if you like. The oats are planted on Farms 9 thru 16.

Yes I see the I and that they all range from 2.4 to 2.7 hours left to go. Several of the mods are trying this to to see what results we get. It may just be this one crop, but I am trying several 3 and 4 day crops to see.

Okay, thank you. I have written down my times on farm 1 & Farm 3 of Broccoli. Not irrigated 3.1 days at 1:08 pm cst today. After irrigated, it says 1.5 days. So just a guess that that would be approximately 9:08 pm tomorrow night.

Also note that with only 1 decimal place those times can be off slightly because it is not accurate enough to pin it down to exactly the time. If it was 2 or 3 decimal places it would be closer to the time.

Here is an example of the time difference and it could be hours off:
A 3 day crop is 60 hours, but listed as 2.5 days. When you irrigated that changes to 30 hours, listed as 1.2 days. However if you multiply 1.2 x 24 to get it to hours it comes out as 28.8 hours and not 30.
A 4 day or 5 day crop would be off even more.
I know that is not as much off as you said which is why we are testing this, but it can throw you off.

Right, I don't believe it's very accurate until we can get it down to the hours. I'm also watching my trees on one of my farms. Would have been a 3 day tree, irrigated, and it seems to be taking those particular trees a long time to ripen. I didn't write it down, so I can't be sure, just thinking. I'll pay closer attention and write down when I harvest them.
Thank you for all your time & troubles trying to figure this out.
