Dark Elixir Drills Are Glitched!

I've just confirmed that my dark elixir drills have been producing only half of what they say they should be for atleast the past 18 hours... it seemed low what I collected earlier this morning so I set a timer for one hour and then checked back later... 2 of my drills are maxed and the info section says 100 dark elixir per hour but they each only produced about 50 in that 1 hour timeframe when it should've been around 100 each...there was no losses from atks. Everyone needs to check their collectors to make sure they're producing correctly and this needs urgent attention to be fixed.

Well thats an accusation. Ive never really bothered timing my collectors but im pretty sure they are working fine. Is this the first time it happened or youve tested it several times before?

What did you do durng that hour? Attacking, nexting, staying online etc. I reckon you probably collected them but forgot.

My dark elixir has been seeming low for some time now but before today I assumed it was just my usage and also lost in defenses... this morning however I had been offline for roughly 6 hrs and it said less than 300 d.e. in one of my *drills* when I collected it after logging in so I looked at my defense history which this morning said I had had several defenses however each of them said I didn't lose anything. So I thought maybe there was a maintenance and I shrugged it off and went back to sleep. I checked back again roughly 6 hrs from that point in time and it said again about the same amount. So at that point I started timing it. I've conducted several collection intervals since then at 1 hr, and also at 15 minute intervals. And each time it's said only half of what it should be (in 1 hour a max drill should produce 100 d.e. but when I collected it it said 45... in 15 minutes it should produce 1/4 of 100 or 25 d.e. but after about 17 minutes it said only 15 when I collected it)... I've told my clan to watch theirs too and let me know if it'd just me or if they notice the incorrect production rate as well and they're still testing it as far as I know.

*edit note... I typed storages but meant drills so I corrected my typo*

From 9:50pm to 10:20pm (30 minutes), I suffered no losses of dark elixir in any drill so what was in them when collected was 100% of what was produced... when collected it said 28 dark elixir was collected out of each of my 2 max drills... 28 in half an hour is 56/hour; it's supposed to be 100 per hour according to the drill info screen.

Wow, that may cause some very unhappy campers out there, for good reason esp if it hurts builder time and heroes. Hoping they fix that in the update, but I'm not so sure they will as the timing bug is allegedly very hard to fix.

I guess if you have a shield production goes back to normal but if you have loot shields will be a long time in coming on some leagues. Ouch....

Not the time bug they affect training/building time
OP: Could you take some pics to show proof you might be accidentally be clicking the drills

I have screenshots of my defense history which shows that all but one of my defenses out of 15 total while I was not shielded yesterday did not lose any resources at all (all trophy droppers). Getting a screenshot of the exact moment that I tap to collect a collector will be problematic cause android screenshot is swiping the screen unlike apple it's the power and select button. But as I said in title here... so far today it seems to be generating correctly... and it did so all while I was shielded too. I have to wonder if resource generation stops while we're being atk'd ( I don't think it should but idk).

Considering I get 700-900 from each drill everytime I wake up my drills seem to work correctly

I normally get like 6 -8 hrs sleep so normally I'd get around 600-800 d.e. out of each drill however yesterday morning after only 6 hrs and no losses from defenses it said just under 300 d.e. had been produced. And again from 10am to 4pm yesterday it did the same amounts roughly. Atleast it generated correctly last night while I was shielded.

AFAIK time dilation only affects build/army times. The attacker doesn't need to query your mine production, only what's currently in it so it wouldn't be dilated. Even if that were the case, you should get MORE resources not less. I think you or someone else on your device just collected them without you noticing it. Could you please test this again deliberately and confirm? I'm sure this is just a misunderstanding.

OK so I decided to test it. Switched to a innie base, got raided, switched to a different innie base, raided again, third try i accidentally created a spawn hole dagnammit and lost 3k dark, 4th try actually spent 30 minutes offline except for one trophy drop attack and the corresponding login to check I still had no shield.

So the results are I had 58% of the expected dark, and 56% of the expected gold and elix the difference probably being down to rounding error and the time taken to empty everything, note down times etc.

My aq build was delayed somewhere between 0 and 2 minutes over the half hour. I wasn't brewing troops so didn't check if army or spell brewing time was affected but it would be easy enuf to check if anybody wants it..

Ewwwwww....
