Stopped playing for a day to see where the automated progress would take me, to find no progress was made. So there's no progress if I'm not monitoring it? Not really an idle game then, is it?
There's no point to upgrading the pickaxe once you've cleared the field. Maybe have a separate mine area or something to do with the pickaxe that doesn't go away?
Mine continues to show the 2 hour Emmy's research as currently in progress despite having completed it and other quests several times. Not a big deal, just giving a heads up.
Refresh! This issue only happens the first time you load up the game. If it happens again, please let us know!
