Lightbulb Translocator: Extend time by +15 seconds!

The amount of time the translocator is there is probably the same amount of time the boat is there. BUT what doesn't seem under consideration was typing the phrase (and typing it correctly when typing fast under pressure) to TL! Countless times the TL has poofed while I'm in the middle of typing my request.

Even 15 seconds extra would drastically help!

Boats only actually stayed at the docks for 60 seconds, while the translocators are up for 100 seconds. Given your estimate of 15s to type in your message I think the clear solution is infact to nerf the translocators by 25s. Please remake your poll with the option for the translocator to be nerfed, ty.

I never mentioned any time except extending time by 15 seconds.

x = x + 15

Fail at reading OP

The premise your post is based upon:

This is untrue. You are already granted more time to use the translocator than you were to get on the boat.

x = x + 15
This strikes me as being an unsound equation, mathematically.

It's a common programming equation.
