Mimbrane feeding

Why the current build of the code no longer shows time since a mimbrane symbiote fed in the mimbrane screen? It was rather useful to manage their feeding, and in my experience to keep feeding, growth, and reproduction of mimbranes fully syncronized (feeding as the very first thing to do in the day for all symbiotes after date change) is essential to prevent it from becoming a micromanagement Hell.

However, sometimes this strategy is not practical when the character is busy doing something that spans several days and keeps her away from the spaceship (e.g. prolonged stints in the wilderness sections of planets, some long sex events such as the Xanthe dungeon). So far, my strategy to deal with these was to undergo them when mimbranes were at maximum (15) feeding, so they would be sated and their feeding cycle would not get desyncronized by any random sex events the PC may experience on the way. However I noticed after a few days a few mimbranes (the ones that would not usually be fed by vanilla sex events, such as the hand and foot ones) do start to complain as if they were hungry, and checking the savefile I found different feeding times recorded for various symbiotes. So I'm at a loss how to deal with this issue, short of periodic save editing to re-syncronize the feeding cycle after a wilderness stint or the like.
