I sent 1 cotter to herb location and it displayed 12h harvesting time. (my cotters harvest 5 p/h)
So I expected to find there 56-62 units and when I scouted it, there where really 59 herbs present.



So that part works as it should.
But one hour later, timer changed from 11h to 1h...

8 cotters at 7 grapes / hr each = 56 grapes harvested per hour ... so long as the grapes base value is more than 56 then 24/7/356 harvesting should not deplete the grapes under the current process.  At the top of each hour, the grape site replenishes to its base value.
Thanks for info; I tested it only once with three scouts while the eight cotters were busy picking grapes, and the third scout reported less grapes than the first and second scout.  I don't recall the details; the square had a limit of about 570 grapes, and the third scout reported less.  Possibly this scout arrived at a bad time, and I certainly didn't know or expect that fresh grapes are added hourly (instead of continuously.)

It appears that Grapes replenish to their base amount at the top of each hour.

This makes it almost impossible to over-harvest a grape site since cotters are pulling about 5/hr each.

It appears that the "remaining time" is now showing the time until the next hourly increase to the gathered amount.  Yes, useless.

The same goes for cotters on hides, by the way. So it seems like a bug rather than a feature - hides don't replenish so that doesn't seem to be the reason for the timer to jump backward.

I rarely read the annoying notification/mail-spam (I feel like its more for debugging and sitting, not active players), but sure enough, in the past two days (as far back as the notification log goes) I've had cotters fail to harvest on three occasions and skinners have failed three times (and I'm pretty sure there was no bumping involved).  Weird thing is, the cotters weren't gathering equipment...
