Thanks for your reply. Okay, I'll do that from now on. I kept track of the times because I wanted to see if there was a pattern, and this one had one of the longest gathering times, meaning more refined jumps. There are two ways to get the exact times: 1) start the collection and see how long it takes for the timer to go from e.g. 2d05h to 2d04h; 2) let the collection time run out, get the total gathered and divide by the gather/hour value. So far, I've not seen any discrepancy, and the intervals are always an exact multiple of five minutes. There were a few levels I forgot to get the exact time (the *??m entries), and the only ones I guessed were the last five levels as it was still gathering iron at the time. I just checked and it was still 2d05h20m at level 112, just like level 107, so all the levels in between must have been that as well.

You neglected to notice that at a point in the game there is a reset and that for some dragons the release values change (see Battle Groncicle and Smidvarg for examples).

I noticed about a year ago that there seemed to be a maximum beyond which it would start at zero again, a typical numerical overflow problem. I haven't noticed that recently, so I thought they fixed that. It's possible they changed the feeding cost in an update, and some of those values are old, causing the jumps. Smidvarg's level 111 is especially weird. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, I'll keep an eye on it as I level up my Battle Groncicle and Smidvarg, and update the values accordingly.

In the Release section the values are abbreviated to reflect what the game itself displays.

Yes, the displayed value is now capped at the fish basin's limit. Before it was 3.95G for a level 106 Trailtwister. Apart from possiby being player specific now, like the resources given in mystery packs, with the likelihood of future fish basin upgrades, I guess those numbers will soon be outdated again.

317,250,000 would be preferred.

Will do.
