I know this is a slightly older experimental build, but posting this anyway incase it’s in the newer builds too.

I dunno why, or if it’s a change to what usually happened, but my character was bitten by a jumping spider and I was poisoned. It lasted three days, constantly getting the damage to torso message as usual. Except that it lasted three days before I figured it was a bug and debugged in some Royal Jelly.

Then a day after that I got the smoke effect from a Smoker Zombie and it’s lasted for two or three days up now to current time with the -1 to both strength and dexterity also still a thing.

As I said I could be entirely wrong and the system has changed, but I want to make sure.

EDIT: And I apologize in advance if this has already come up, I used the search function on the forums and couldn’t find a similar thread so I assumed there was not one

We had an issue where effects weren’t timing out. Fixed now, so update and let us know if you’ve still got the problem?

Thanks.

Downloaded 1817, spawned in a smoker, basked in his essence, killed him, waited, smoke effect gone.

So yes, it is fixed, thanks for the help with that
