Thanks, this helps a lot! I did wonder if colorblindness could be a factor; the "Focused" digsite has the little switch on the right side, highlighted in red on the left, and I
completely understand how hard that is to miss without the color cue. In your screenshot, Ancient Aerie
is the focused digsite, so no troubles there!
The digsite icons themselves are never meant to change in color, so that may be another case of colorblindness tricking you into thinking it was a game mechanic. To my eyes, both icons have similar shades of brown, though Thunder Lizards
does have green leaves and more vibrant colors that stand out. Again, totally understandable.
With that out of the way, the
real bug is the missing pickaxe work. Overall, the best way to help identify this bug for the developers is to include as many details as possible, even if they seem obvious or mundane. You've covered extensions and browser version (thanks!), but a description of what "no digging" exactly looks like is also useful information.
Even if it's as simple as "I set the work and came back to a digsite with no plots to clear," that clears up any confusion about what the digsite page might have looked like.
From your phrasing, it sounds like this has happened more than once, at which point I'd ask how consistently the problem's been occurring, and whether you can pinpoint any common circumstances among them - though, I may be taking your wording a bit too literally. That's why we ask for details!
But if this is the
first time, that's relevant, too; when you get the chance, see if you can replicate this problem after the browser has updated. If you
can replicate the error, that means you can give recent, accurate information on what happens. If not, then that's okay too; you've already made your post, and inconsistent bugs are always hard to identify.
If you want, keep a notepad nearby (physical or digital) and take note whenever you use a pickaxe or magnifier, and check "yes" or "no" afterwards to track whether or not the digging went through on each one. After each work has finished, you could also scroll down before clearing the tiles and count to make sure all 5 tiles went through.
I don't think the console messages or adblock are necessarily related to this oddity in particular, but it's not impossible; browser extensions and yes, updates, can have all kinds of unintended effects. Here's hoping we can work it out!
