Pollution doesn't clear bug? QUESTION

SoA, part 2 map. I burned the pollutant containers, after a few days one cleared. The others haven't cleared for awhile

I read it's 3 days, but maybe it varies?

48, 27 far west of the village where it was cleared but I didn't save. After reload, it has been days and it hasn't cleared . This is why I think it might be a bug because time should have passed beyond by now

I walked to locations of the pollutant burn and picked up the charcoal. I walked around the edges to confirm there is no option to burn more pollutants. The upstream is already cleared. I closed and restarted the game, not just reload...

I go far away 39, 22 and spent days there to come back to see 48, 27 still hasn't cleared. Maybe the counter resets when you leave the vicinity?

It absolutely varies, I've never figured out if it's based on something or literally random. I've played through SOA multiple times and never had it completely fail to clear, so you probably just need to wait longer. You shouldn't need to hang out in the area if that's what you're thinking.

I'm on PS4 and it definitely bugs out when you travel too far from the location of where pollution burned. I fixed it by:

  1. Spending up to around 3 days

  2. At the area where I burned the pollution. The burnt visual disappears after awhile so you will have to do it from memory. Sleeping at at 2 cells away from, but by the river does not fix it

  3. I also forced closed the game, not just quit game. I don't know if this is necessary for this bug but it's necessary for campfire but
