The day isn’t updating on millenial farms

I’m running seasons on millenial farms with the Alabama geo. After I did the last update for the map the day won’t change. When I quit and restart it will change to the correct day but it won’t change without quitting and restarting.

I've run into that with other maps. I'm not sure what the fix is though because mine only does it sometimes and then sometimes it's fine.
On a side note, Alabama is a heck of a long way away from Minnesota. In both geography and climate.

Have had that same problem alot. I just save the game exit and load back up and it corrects itself.

When I had the same issue, there was some kind of conflict between certain Geos and the Lone Oak Farmhouse. If that's active on your mod list, try deactivating it.

I uninstalled the new lizard 4x4 which was the last mod I downloaded and that fixed it so there might be a problem with that mod

It's strange that it has updated when you reload. I always read that everything needed to be kept in memory for things to grow. I wonder how it managed to store the information and then update it later.

One thing has nothing to do with the other.

This happened to me on several maps. The day doesn't change in the gameplay screen but in the seasons menu the day is correct. Saving and reloading did solve the screen bug.

Anybody still seeing this problem I would appreciate it if you could supply a log file from when this happens. For example you are playing for a 24 hour cycle and you see that the day does not get updated, then please share your log file. Thanks.

I’ve experienced this on Griffin,Indiana map, Millenial Farms map, as well as Welker Farms map. Each time (for me) I was speeding-up the time or changing the season length (usually from 6 to 3 days). It seemed to occur around the change of seasons. My work-around was to save, quit, and then restart. Now I’ve been playing more relaxed and not so impatient and don’t change the time lapse or season length and haven’t had any problems. I’m on Xbox, so no log file. I hope this adds a little perspective.

I noticed it mostly happens in the winter for me. I play on Xbox so I can't give a log file. I am using the US simplified geo on 6 day seasons and playing on the griffin Indiana map. It also happens on stone valley as well.

This is a different thing. If you change the season length the day that you see at the top changes because it needs to be recalculated. For example, if you are in Day 2 running 6 day seasons and change to 3 day seasons, then you will be taken back to day 1, otherwise you would lose an entire growth period. I suspect many people do not notice this change and then the next day they notice that they are still on day 2 (working as expected).

Interesting. Thanks for the explanation. I did finally learn not to change the number of days per season, but I do see the days not changing (in the HUD) when I speed up time during the season change. I did notice, however, that the day is correct in the seasons menu with planting/harvesting calendar. Fortunately, I no longer speed up time (it’s actually made me get more immersed in the game) so I don’t have any problems with the days not updating.
Thanks @theSeb for your help!
