I am not sure if I got an answer? It sounds like yes this is how it is supposed to work. Is the timer going down slowly? I log in 8 hours after saying 1 day 22 hours and it is at 1 day 13 hours. This doesn't make sense?

I think I may be confused and have spent an hour now looking this up. Were sleeping bodies supposed to stop a claim? I hadn't played in 5 days sleeping on my base and when I logged in now all my buildings belong to someone else, I cannot get out of the house or get my tames out (PVE). Is this how it is supposed to work? I feel like now I have to start over as I cannot interact with what I built and if it goes to two weeks? Mostly can someone confirm that we should have lost all our land?
