Does the Fog Aegis Not Work?

[EbonyBetty]

Or perhaps I misinterpreted their description incorrectly? I thought their function is to hold back the fog when it advances at night. So I speed-researched to get it because I'm having trouble keeping the Fog back long enough to get the Trapdoor-Trees. So I built the Fog Aegis on the Fog's edges, ACTIVATED THE WARD, and yet for some reason the Fog still advances past it once night falls.

So is it bugged or am I using it wrong?

The description is a bit confusing. If you charge the fog aegis it says that it holds back the fog for 0,8 days. That means even if you use the aegis, it has not the power to hold back the fog completely because you need 1,0 per day to do so. The description of the fog aegis should rather be that it slows down the fogs expansion as long as it is charged up.

The power of the Aegis varies, I believe, based on how far back the fog is. The further back the fog the lower the power. When the fog is close to your school, the Aegis might say it holds back for 1,2 days. In this case it would hold the fog back for one complete nightfall, after which it would say it has 0.2 days remaining, and recharging the ward would take it back to 1.2 days. When the fog is further out it might say 0.9, 0.8 or 0.7 days (0.7 is the lowest I've seen). In this case the fog will swallow the Aegis if it's there all alone. However, you can place multiple Aegis together in a column, and their effects stack.

Say you have two Aegis in a line against the fog with 0.7 days remaining. Come nightfall, the fog will be completely halted, and you will be left with one Aegis with 0 days remaining, and the other with 0.4 days remaining. Again, warding each will take them back up to 0.7.

Long story short: you need two Aegis each side to eliminate the fog completely.

Thank you guys for responding. And yes I agree, the wording in description is extremely vague. So vague that I hope the devs patch in a better one.

I only have enough ingredients to put two Aegis on one egde of Fog. Hopefully it'll hold back one side of the Fog long for me to get some Trapdoor seeds.
