Hello,
I'm playing with a friend, and I'm NOT the host. This bug/problem could probably also appear in single player, but I'm playing in multi so I'm posting it here.

Sorry if the title is vague, didn't want to display spoilers there.

We finished the quest for the mermaids, the one with the 50 or 75 osmium crops and the 30 osmium kelp essence. We were waiting for the start of the expedition but didn't paid much attention as to when we should trigger it.

And so, inadvertently, we triggered the first mermaid land expedition at 10pm. The 25th or 26th or Fall.

At first I was like "Why not? Maybe they wanted to train walking when nobody could see them. And maybe they aren't feeling cold despite being in swimsuits because they are mermaids?".
But when the cutscene continued and... Leah was sunbathing. At 10pm.
And now it's a bug.

**Reproduction Steps **

Start the first mermaid land expedition during the evening
**Repro Rate ** Probably everytime? I can't really test this one again...
**Game Platform ** Steam
Game Version v1.2b-1244
Input Mode Player A, host, mouse and keyboard. Player B, PS4 controller
Your save file Can provide it if needed
**Attachment ** Here's a screenshot

Hi hi @nocturne flame, nice catch! 😂 Yeah, no way Leah’s out there sunbathing in the middle of the night. I’ll pass this along to the team to check it out, thanks a bunch! 🙌

#

Oh, and could you share the host save file here as well? We’d love to take a look 👀

You can copy-paste this path into your Windows Explorer: %localappdata%\ProjectCoral\Saved
Then just compress the SaveGames folder into a ZIP file and send it here. Thanks!

Hi, this is the host save file. We're playing on his second farm, so be sure to check the correct one

I think all the mermaid chaperone quest have the same issue.
Here's a screenshot of the next one. If I go to the Raj Cafe at 11pm, will they really open the coffee shop for me that late into the night ?

Oops, my bad, I mixed 12pm and 12am
If 12pm is midday, then it's good

Heyaa! Thanks for sending over the file. I’ll forward this to the team so they can take a look approve2
And no worries at all! Time can definitely be confusing sometimes, especially when it comes to 12 AM vs 12 PM 😆

#

Oh, and could you let us know whether it was you or the host who triggered the cutscene? 😮
