If you start casting Simulacrum, which takes 12 hours, and in the middle you cast a ritual spell like Tiny Hut... Can you continue casting Simulacrum or will it break that spell`s casting time already spent?
My plan = 1. Cast Tiny Hut as a ritual. 2. Inside Tiny Hut, cast Simulacrum on myself and before the 8th hour is ending: 3. Cast Tiny hut again for 11 minutes as a ritual 4. Now inside 2nd Tiny Hut, continue casting Simulacrum for another 4 hours (+ 11 minutes?). All the time inside the Hut. Is this possible RAW?
I need to do this in a specific time and got a strong feeling we might get ambushed so I want to be protected 100 %.

Casting a spell with a casting time of more than 1 action requires concentration and taking the magic action every turn, and thus you cannot cast another spell in the middle unless it is a bonus action or reaction that does not require concentration.

Thanks for the fast reply!
Sad to hear, now I need a plan B :D
I agree.
If it helps the OP, I asked this question a while ago: 2024 Bonus Action or Reaction spells while casting spells with Longer Casting Times - Rules & Game Mechanics
Do you have a Cleric in your party? Temple of the Gods lasts for 24h.
Bit higher level stuff.. but, as you already have Simulacrum, Mordenkainen's Magnificent Mansion might also work.
Unfortunately we don`t have a cleric, nor the Magnificent Mansion, but thank you for the tips!
