Expiring Building Timer

[Risen Malchiah]

So I have 2 Trading Outposts in one my cities and this is the current expiring timer:

Is the expiring timer and the collection timer both being at 37:20 an incredible coincidence or has something changed to ensure expiring buildings with less time than the collection timer don't cheat you out of the last 1-2 days for the building? In the past, I've seen buildings expire and whatever was being produced was cancelled.

Also, will I need to rush to collect or will the Portal Profits remain available to collect after it expires?

You just got lucky (unlucky?) in your timing. Even if you have been collecting from it right when it was ready every single time, the building will expire a few seconds before you can get your final collection from it. Of course, the only way to know is to wait til there is less than an hour left and the timers shift to minutes and seconds from hours and minutes.

Yes, you better rush to collect (assuming production is a few seconds ahead of expiration, not after). At expiration, all production disappears. Ask me how I know

i've collected from ferris wheels that finished production before expiring .. as in the kp was still there when the timer ran out

Definitely didn't work like that for Wishing Wells... unless something changed.

i have several types of expiring bldgs going i'll pay closer attention when they get low on time and see about which will hold a prize after expiring .. unless the info is out there already but i believe some hold the produced item if they finished before time ran out

Update:

My theory that the timer was adjusted up to allow for the last collection was looking good:

Until I saw the 2nd one:

Funny thing is that I have some 1 minute time boosters that would be handy in this situation, but of course they're not usable here.

The end result is I actually lost both. I was able to quickly grab the PP from the first one just before the timer expired, but it did not register in the inventory. Then when I went to the research tab and back, I saw it was still there to be harvested. I clicked on it, the floating icon flew up like it was harvested, but again, it did not register in inventory. I relogged and it was gone completely.

Edit: I added a Suggestion to allow time boosters for expiring buildings.
