Problem with shelter coverage & infinite day light

What is the problem with these tortoise in attached picture? I have what I thought was a very large shelter and yet their coverage is only 50%
It seems ridiculous to think I need to make anything any bigger for what is such a tiny little critter. Is this a bug or do these things really need well over half their enclosure to be sheltered?
Also I seem to be stuck in infinite day light hours in franchise mode. Ever since uploading something to the steam workshop and changing the lighting for the thumbnail pic its been infinite day light at my zoo and i'm not sure how to revert it. Reloading the game makes no difference it seems.

1) How many turtles do you have? The requirement is essentially based on how much space they all need if they were huddled in shelter together. So the more of an animal, the more shelter you need.
2) When you uploaded the item to the workshop did you change the lighting in the blueprint window? If so it stuck to your franchise and I don't know if there is a way to fix it since you can't change time in franchise mode. Definitely a bug you should report.

how many turtles do you have? for me in the pic it looks about as big as the 8x8m prefab ones which have enough space for 4 turtles (which is questionable imo but whatever) so do you have roughly 8 turtles in there?

I think its 8 juvies no adults. I'm kind of stuck with them since you cant put juvies into the trade centre and cant sell them until they become adults. Yet these things dont mature until they are 30+
Even if all of them were to enter the cave at once they wouldnt even take up 10% of the floor space, its spaceous.

I can't help about the daylight things.

But i can confirm that turtles are very coverhungry.
I have 20 in one habitat (uuups) and half of it is cover now to make them happy.

Tapirs require an weirdly high amount of cover compare to their size, too.

Go to the "Save as Blueprint" panel and uncheck the "Set Custom Hour" checkbox.

I have a feeling this is where your problem comes from. I had this happen to me in Challenge mode.
