So I have not played much since it went out of closed beta, I made a new save and had my one raider in zone one. Left it alone for a while and came back to it today. he had farmed up quite a bit of gold but the chests I had previously purchased in the closed beta are now gone. Have others reported this?
We've investigated a bit more and it seems like Chrome does just simply block Flash under certain circumstances. There are two ways to check for this: When you play the game, a 'Plugin blocked' icon may appear in the address bar (on the right, next to the button to manage your passwords, and the 'Favorites' star), which you can use to allow execution of Flash immediately (buying Kreds should work again after that). If that icon doesn't appear, you can still check your content settings and see if Kongregate is blocked by default (chrome settings -> click on 'Show advanced settings', under Privacy -> Content Settings, scroll down until you find the 'Flash' settings, and click 'manage exceptions')
You should have half-price of the next building item for research to appear. For example, sluice box costs 60 gold. So you should have 30 gold in bank for sluice box to appear in researches.
