@nubmut23 That's supposed to happen. Do you know what a gem boost does? It increases Health, Drops, Exp, AND DEFENCE of the current rock you are mining. If the defence increase is too big, use a lower-tier gem or use it on a lower level stone.
@Priem , thats probably because the stone you are using a gem boost on is too strong, and when you use the boost it's defence goes up so high that you and your auto-mine can't damage it. Use a lower-tier gem or use it on a worse stone.
For people mis-understanding the quality assurance upgrade, yes it's easy to get the wrong idea from it's description, but what it does is: When you craft a bad pick, it has a chance to scrap the bad pick and recraft for no extra gems or stones. Hope this helps.
GEM BALANCE SUGGESTION: Remove icons from gems to make it more simple, then just make it so that each stone has:
Chance of finding a gem: X%
Average gem level:Y
And the gems can come at any level as long as you have mined stones powerful enough. And the gems from each stone go 5 levels either way of the average. Then when crafting it will just list all of your gems in order of level!
I hope this comment wasn't too long and that you understand it!
@kadycandy thats because stones have defence, you can see it too the right of health. Idle damage is generally lower than manual damage, therfore idle damage will stop before manual clicking does.
