#343 Hour clock VS survival time discrepancy

The two clocks seem to be independent or there is something off with calculations. Not sure if major bug, just a cosmetic thing maybe, playing PC Steam version. Maybe only happening or becoming visible in long runs.

So I survived until day 300 and planned to jump of a cliff to end my run on a bang (or a splat). I'm at 39% condition and climb up there and I have 35 minutes on the survival time left before it changes to day 300. I'm sitting there and looking at the day clock so I can time my jump. It was some time before 5pm at the time (in game time of course).

I noticed that for one minute to pass on the survival timer, 13-15 minutes had to pass on the day clock. So in the end I jumped at 18:19 of that day and died exactly on time, to the second, which I found very strange or extremely lucky. I expected there to be odd seconds or minutes in the final result, but it seems I got exactly 300 days, 0 minutes, 0 seconds.

I checked the logs and another thing I noticed is that even though I started the game mere meters from the dam around 7am game time - from the log:

Day 1:

06:56 Discovered Carter Hydro Dam.

07:34 Wolf attack!

(yup, that's fluffy for you)

I died at 18:19, so not exactly 300 days:

Day 300:

Made it to day 300

23:54 Woke up after sleeping 10 hours 1 minute

23:55 Drank 0.56 L potable water.

23:58 Went to sleep.

09:57 Woke up after sleeping 10 hours

09:59 Drank 0.56 L potable water.

10:04 Wolf attack!

10:04 Experiencing significant blood loss.

10:04 At risk for infected wound.

10:17 Went to sleep.

16:19 Woke up after sleeping 6 hours 1 minute

16:53 Drank 0.41 L potable water.

18:19 You died from massive internal injuries after falling

Edit: attached full log.

This is because the log counts days starting at 00.01 hours, but you start somewhere during the first day. So if you start at 07.53 hours and die on the 10th day at 05.23 hours, you'll have survived for 9 days, 21 hours and 30 minutes but it will still say day 10 in the log.

That is correct, although it's not the log that confused me, but the actual passing of time in the two clocks (as observed live during the final minutes) and also the final score which is exactly 300 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds when I started at 6:54 and died at 18:19. The log is there only for illustration and there is no issue with it as such.
