Does anyone know what's this? 

The overlay on both panels, obtained through /assets/cardboard and referred in both CSS files.

It's been 72 hours when the countdown went down to 56%. That's still roughly 0.6% per hour as approximated after the first change, so the deadline is still expected to be on next Thursday.

I've noticed a few times i was clicking around, i was able to drag only the top panel but not the lower panel, or i could drag only the hourglass and not its background, etc ..
Has anyone else found anything like this? .. the cursor reacting differently to dragging different parts around the page 

the elements you can't drag have "draggable" set to false. It is interesting that they're not all same same tho. Possible line if Klei didn't just forget. I can't drag even the ones not tagged false tho so I'm thinking its probably unintended.

you can mess around and add new panels yourself. The site will recognize if you add a new panel under the burning factory and send the request as panel 1,1 too. Doubt you can cheese anything tho.

addPanel(1, 1, "/static/8F729B57E62474358A0A358AAC95A28C77C2CD78CA0CCD25C64EBBC1", 100)     <--- add sun side building as panel when on fire side

this kinda boring, especialy because...well theres litteraly nothing you can do about it but wait, so best thing to do i would say is to just ignore this, and coming back like....3-4 days later?

ChatGPT prediction for the counter numbers (multiplied by 100 for simplicity): 100, 97, 96, 90, 85, 82, 75, 70, 68, 62, 60, 57, 54, 53, 47, 42, 39, 32, 27, 25, 19, 17, 14, 11, 10, 4, 0

 

Appears to be wrong, actual numbers are 100, 97, 96, 90, 85, 82, 75, 70, 68, 62, 60, 57, 56...

it's 0.52 now

I noticed that when you click on the images a bunch of times they become draggable, but it seems it is just a bug

I keep trying to click on the drawer-like thing on the desk bellow the hourglass, or looking for a place to click to open it in other way. 

[user1464576869]

Welp, over halfway to whatever 0 is.

I'm not very upset about the timer myself, it's already been long since last time so what's another few days. I assume it's just to give returning fans a chance to not miss the start of it

[Obscurin6]

I think if time goes backward, we will see the cause of the fire. like we see that the fire is not going out, but rather getting worse

cant wait for klei to reveal willow burn another place down ......again

I wanted to point out that maybe the way of fire blinking has kind of some morse code message or something. No one pointed it out and I still believe we are missing on something. "Once you think you have found it. You haven"t.".  Blinking of fire seems to have a different pattern each time. Sudden(.) and long flashes (--) may indicate something. Any morse code master here?

Maybe I started to go crazy over a hourglass 0_0

The longer I look at it the more I agree that in a way the fire animation is rather peculiar looking, for just being ambience. To my eyes it seems to have 3 states of brightness it switches between. Edit, then again, maybe not, it's kind of too difficult to discern any state. It's just so smooth the way it shifts back and forth
 
Edit2. Uh then again, judging by code it seems to be a 10s loop and I think it goes through the exact same values every time in those ten seconds?
Edit3. Ah, and here are the exact values. 1, 0.9, 0.7, 0.85, 0.7, 1, 0.7, 0.55, 0.7, 1, 0.8, 0.5, 0.7, 1. Prrrrobably just random animation numbers.

After you said it is a 10s loop. I just recorded it and checked myself. It just seems to be 2 short blinks, 1 bright one and a slow long one in animation wise. Probably means nothing. Tried to reload the page multiple times, changed night/day cycle again and again. Its the same pattern. Thanks for checking the code. 

Back to waiting for counter 😔

What if we're on the wrong side? What if there's another side, and that side is just a distraction?

Well I think this is my irritation with it, all of the preamble about that we need to look closer and to think how it was done before etc. I think it was all to imply that there is more to it, in typical Klei fashion - there isn't they're just referencing that in the past we had to wait for new panels. Just wait, we'll get the rest of the panels - that's the arg.

I'm not surprised, the is absolutely the type of thing 2025 Klei would do. 

Over promise, under deliver.

.46 now...

[Sustenance]

0.44

[Phoenix1243]

every 1 hour, it can't go down by 0.6, it's been 20 minutes, and none of them have been removed, it was 0.46 and now it's 0.44, it should be removed in 2 hours, but it won't be removed in an hour, so we have to wait longer.

I'm not sure is it important, but if in browser (at least in Google Chrome) you focus maximally using ctrl + scroll, and start scrolling up and down all time holding ctrl, screen is folding like a piece of paper
