PC [BUG] (1.5) Mushroom Cave on Beach Farm Produces Daily

I've noticed that mushrooms spawn every day in my beach farm's mushroom cave, rather than every two days as they're supposed to. If I place a Crystalarium in the cave, it will also produce daily. Not game-breaking but kind of ruins the balance of the farm a bit.

The problem is your understanding of how the farm cave works. It doesn't only spawn every two days. How long it takes to spawn is directly related to how long you are awake the day before. The longer you are awake, the sooner the cave will produce. If you stay up until 2am on one day, the second the mushrooms will be ready for harvest at 1240pm on the second. The earlier you to to bed, the later the mushrooms will be ready until finally, if you go to be at or before 6pm, it will take too long and the mushrooms will indeed become ready for collection on the morning of the third day, skipping day two.

This isn't a bug.

That's no longer the case. The 1.5 notes says that processing times of some machines have been standardised to not be dependent of time of day; between the affected machines it's the Mushroom Box (the boxes inside the mushroom cave), which will always be ready at the start of the day now, every 2 days.

Hmmm... that makes the mushroom cave much less worth it, especially once you get to Ginger Island.
