The portal in the red shrub activates at about 3:33; I just went to the ritual realm on a day 20 save to get the knife and it activated about 3 minutes early. Are you hanging around until 4 and it just never opens?

Yeah I get there around 3 am, 3:33 comes and goes and by time it's 4 it still never opened. Sometimes I encounter this in Story mode around day 30 and beyond to final available story day, sometimes it just works again in Story mode. But it never seems work in Infinite mode and that save is one day 60+ .
Yeah a Streamer I was watching had this issue when we tried guide them to the Slabs/Tablets, and another chat member also reported no Red Bush activation. Again I'm not sure if this is intended but doesn't make any sense to have it not activate for Infinite Mode when every other event should be able activate. So on one hand glad it's defiantly common occurrence and not just use, on the other hand hoping it's not intentional and it's just a bug.
