[Bug?] Odd problem at Z598 with offline progress.

Bug

I've been seeing this recently, it occurs specifically at Z598 in offline progress in U1.

My max zone is atm 601 or so and i do BW until 605 for equipment at Z540. Which means i have no upgrades to collect < Z600, and reaching Z600 is a breeze with all those upgrades. I have 4 Amalgamators.

For whatever reason, offline progress gets stuck on Z598 - the zone gets almost zero progress. at ~200 speed i can sit on it for a minute or two with nothing happening, and compared to just one zone prior which gets finished in few secons in offline progress, it's very odd.

If i do a map, maps go past in a flash, and then this zone gets finished nearly instantly ( i have it set up to do 10 maps for max damage bonus). 200% damage bonus is definitely not that significant to facilitate this.

This happens with any empowerment of nature, and with pretty much every daily (that doesn't change my progress past 590 into a slog). My Poison bonus is atm at ~440%. I always try to be in S or W formation at this time.

What could be happening here?

There is an offline progress bug that I've noticed in U2 where the current enemy has health that isn't appropriate for the current zone, and there was a temporary fix in one of the previous updates that reset the current enemy health on exit from offline progress.

From my observations of the current version and the test version, this problem has not been resolved. I would guess that you are seeing the U1 expression of this same issue.

It's been a while since I played U1, but I'm pretty sure it's a Wind zone you're in. Your poison doesn't stack there, so without better gear progress will grind to a halt. Maps aren't affected by the nature element of the world zone you're in, so they will run normally.

You could map at zone in the last poison zone to grind metal to push through, but given you're so close to your HZE, you won't gain much from it. Better to just end the run and save some time

no, it's poison zone. also, one zone prior i am breezing through it and it's of the same nature.

wind starts at 600.

You've probably already checked this, but is there a chance you've set up an infinite map at zone there? That catches me out sometimes, and I often forget I've done it. Especially if I was grinding for upgrades on a single run before attempting a spire.

no, i am stuck at one cell of world zone 598, not the map.

Weird. I'm approaching 590 in my save, I'll look out for the bug when I get there.

it doesn't always happen for me, but i've noticed it enough times on 598 that it started becoming interesting.

late response, but have you checked your nursery auto-build zone? Usually this happens to me when for some reason (bought nurseries too early or unchecked the nurseries auto-buy) I don't have nurseries and getting oneshotted by a quick enemy.

i have auto buy, but perhaps it needs some adjustments.
