Expected behavior

The bomb explode after about a month

Actual behavior

The bomb put torso on fire really early on ( I got put on fire on day 3 )

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Choose Bionic Operator profession.
Survive a few days
Have no luck ( reverting an autosave showed me the bomb don't trigger the fire at the same time )

Note

If it is the intended behavior for the cranium bomb, the description of the CBM could suggest the bomb will cause problems before the 1 month dead man switch.

The description that you are short on days is in the profession. The bomb also uses an intermittent spell so it can go off anytime after start. It has an average explosion time per the spell of five days. It could in a given playthrough never go off but it most likely will have gone off by day ten. I'm seeing these fire posts pretty frequently which makes me think I've made the damage too low. It's supposed to be fatal in all but around 5% of instances.

Thanks for the insight. Should I delete this issue ?

Thanks for your work btw.

( only took this profession once. Got lit on fire on night 2. Reverted autosave because I thought it was a bug. On Discord I was said it was related to the cranium bomb and someone told me to bug report here. After reverting the save I got the fire on day 3, not on night 2. Then, on day 4, and it killed me )

Although you have the final say, Maleclypse, I think its perfectly fine if you make the cranial bomb going off definetively kill you in all instances.

It would aslo be less prone to random issues like this.
