#1 The timer in the cooking station is off, when I add wood it says I have 20 minutes and the things I am cooking will take 18 minutes. I come back later and the items to be cooked may say 2 minutes left, but the wood left is at 0. The wood is burning faster than the stated time.

#2 This has happened to me twice once about a year ago and now today. I get killed and just leave the screen on the "Spawn on your bed" option. But I do not make a selection and go do IRL errands. When I come back time/days have passed. Today I was on day 22 and came back and it was day 30.

Hi shotham37, thank you for creating this thread to raise attention to these protentional issues.
I also want to excuse myself for such a delayed answer to your post.

#1 I have tested this in a offline game and on a server, for both I was not able to recreate your issue. Is it possible that there was a different item already cooking in the campfire once you started the 18min recipe?

#2 Time is supposed to pass in the death screen as for now, I'll raise the question if this can potentially can be improved on.

I'll be moving your thread regarding the 1st issue to cannot reproduce for now, if you got more info or can provide additional data we will have a look at it again.

Here's a tip: Use wood logs instead, they last much longer in time than regular wood.

I can confirm that the timer seems to be off, at least in my games as well. I always add wood that exceeds the sum of all cooking times and when I come back to it the wood has run out but there is still food to be cooked.

Not sure if the wood is burning faster or the food takes longer than advertised, but I should be able to check that.

I made a test where I cooked stacks of grilled or boiled meat on default settings, without any perks and at low level. I made sure to be some time near the cooking site and some time so far away that the chunk was unlooaded.

I did see a discrepancy of only 3-4 seconds between slower food and faster wood after 50 or 100 minutes, though not increasing with overall time. It could be just because of delays when one food is finished and the next starting to cook. Not the discrepancy of dozens of minutes I did see in my usual single player games, there must be some missing trigger.

I only saw a discrepancy between real time and in-game cooking time: When the 100 minutes on my smartphone was over, the fuel and food (who were both advertised as taking 100 minutes as well) still had 7:30 and 7:30 minutes to burn and cook. A discrepancy for sure, but not relevant for gameplay.
