It's not that the timer started on your new Settlement once you completed your previous Settlement, it's that each subsequent Settlement has a shorter time to complete. This is offset by a 1.5% increase in getting a 4x collection from each Cultural Goods collection. You can find the chart with the time allotted for each settlement on the table at the bottom of the page. I have not found this information anywhere on the official wiki.I give high marks overall for the new Settlements feature! .I like the focus on design skill very much. .The addition of rock impediments was a clever idea.
I finished the first settlement yesterday evening, and I decided to wait until this morning to start the next one, because a morning start fits my real life better. .But I was surprised and disappointed to discover that the countdown clock on the next settlement started ticking as soon as the first settlement was finished. .As a result, I lost 14 hours. .Unless I missed it, there is nothing in the announcement or in the video introduction that explains how the reward timer works, even though this is a crucial part of the settlements. .
InnoGames needs to provide written instructions so that players don't have to learn how something works by trail and error.
