... and, in case anyone involved in development thinks this is a cool way to push us to pay more attention to the game ... well, nothing has happened for months (new magic ? dark continent ?) and one of the few things that was keeping me coming back twice a day was to catch all my small-plot harvesting teams on their ways home and send out their successors.

I now have to actually make a choice about whether I'd sooner do something else with my spare time or spend a bunch of time establishing new harvesting patterns for my herbalists, after they unwittingly destroyed their own livelihoods. Knowing that this happens at random (yeah, sure, usually on a Friday, when I'm not home as early as I might otherwise be, to notice problems and prevent their turning into disasters) is one more reason to just ditch the routine and find something else to do with my too little free time.

Yup - I can confirm 15 separate rare herb plots, each of which I harvested with a team smaller by 1 than its size last night, each of which reported one left on the plot as usual when last night's team left, each of which has regenerated promptly after such harvesting for many months up until now, each of which has today yielded 1 to a team that repeated the earlier size (while I was out at work, so in no position to notice this thread or reports from any scouts, had I had any good reason to send them), each of which is now devoid of herbs; and a grape plot that I have routinely harvested with teams of size 12 for months, and shared with a neighbour whose team of size 11 was, today, harvesting when the spot vanished under its feet. No harvesting regime is safe against turning out to have been unwitting vandalism when the plots' ability to regenerate is subject to random whim :-(

It really does seem like a Friday bug - interesting.

Can anyone confirm if it happens every week or just on the 3rd Friday of the month?

I've lost a lot of common herbs, rare herbs and even a mineral from this glitch.

THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED!!!

This was a Grape patch in my sov, now gone.  Both these happened at the same time stamp.  But others were at different time stamps so this may be a coincidence.

I had three herb patches go away in the last 8ish hours.  Two grape and one Queens Hair Leaf.

None were over harvested by the normal measure.

two were in my soved space and one was in an occupied but not soved space.

I have other herb harvesters that were going at the same time as these that have not had the same problem.  I.E.  they are either still harvesting (if grapes) or got back safe and the plot is still there.

None were harvested by other players.

The curse of Friday is back with us !!!! The rare herb and mineral patches haven’t regenerated for at least the past 4 hours. Be warned and make sure you're not killing the rare herbs near your cities!!!!

I guess they would fall somewhere on the Conservative spectrum?

Do herbal patches observe shabbat, Rill?
