Constantly losing sanity but nothing is happening?

Should sanity go up if the gear is rotating clockwise at a brisk pace?

Stability. Sanity is Call of Cthuhlu.

I've seen it glitch rarely. I think it's always been after a temporal storm when I've been highly selective on targets. Yes, I should have probably taken down something here and there to raise my stability, but I was running around keeping my eyes peeled for the big 'uns and couldn't be bothered.

Clockwise spinning of the gear will increase the percentage of temporal stability until it reaches 100.

No, the sanity % is sometimes increasing if the gear spins clockwise.

Other times it stays stable or even slowly decreases while the gear is spinning clockwise.

Is that a bug?

Never seen that myself, but it could be a freak bug.

Honestly I tune the gear wheel out of my mind most of the time, it's not really something I keep an eye out for all the time. Maybe it should disappear if it's at 100% and only pop up when it starts decreasing, which would call more attention to it too (I think more people could use that, I'm not the only one blind about these temporal spots apparently lol)

That doesn't sound like normal behavior.

@Gazz, I saw that once in 1.20. Not yet in 1.21. A few times in 1.19 and before, but I played a whole lot more of 1.19 and before. But I'm pretty sure it was (almost?) always after a temporal storm, specifically one in which I let my stability get too low. Like others said, you probably have a mod issue.

[EDIT] I

t's plausible mine were mod issues, too. I don't remember if those were vanilla runs or not.

Since starting in 1.14.10, I've never seen stability drop unless the gear is spinning counter-clockwise.   Also have a modest mod set (20 mods or less, mostly QOL mods).
