So, I noticed that when processing kelp essence that the gold kelp finishes 5 before the silver kelp does. I started these extractors at the same time, come back to see bronze & gold are finished, silver working on one more, osmium working on three more. I don't mind that my gold essence is finished so quickly, but I'm fairly sure it's off in terms of balance.

Hello StitchTwitch7! Thank you for your report. May I ask if have you tried to restart the game and place the various kelps on the Extractor again to see if it persists?

Alright, I'm running some tests and getting exact information for you. I started by eliminating variables. So for each test... Restarted game before running the test. Also, I'll do my utmost to start the extractors as close to each other as possible.
1st test (Summer 24th): Did day-to-day chores. Set extractors outside shed (to see if it was possibly a shed issue) just watched the extractors work on 5 essences each for a bit... Based on the progress circles, the gold kelp is progressing faster than the silver kelp. Picture attached
2nd test (Summer 24th): Ran straight from waking up to collect supplies and set the extractors. Set extractors in a different location. Only attempted to process a single essence of each. Gold essence is progressing faster than silver. Picture attached.

3rd test (Summer 25th): Ran straight to the already placed extractors (already had supplies needed) and gave them each a single essence to process. Results identical to previous tests, with gold essence processing faster than silver. Picture attached

4th Test (Summer 28th): Extractors previously set in shed, items to process previously gathered. Woke and ran directly to shed and started extractors with one of each type of essence. Processing speeds exactly mimic previous tests.
I'll consider further random tests, though I'll only post findings if results contradict previous tests. Hope this information has helped.

Oh my! I'm so sorry for the delayed response to your reply, StitchTwitch7. 
May I ask if the issue still happening on Coral Island's latest version (v1.1-1226)? In the meantime, I will also check this with the team. Thank you!

This still persists on the most recent update. @tepid maple

Based on that image, it looks like the gold and silver timers are reversed. That is peculiar. I've never had a 2nd extractor, but now I'm curious...

Based on watching extractors versus furnaces, it does seem silver & gold's timing have been swapped. The bronze & iridium seem to match pace.
