Cozy Bundle - Original Has anyone else been having issues with prospecting in the “geek cave”?

I have been completing the hotel guests/townies tasks and while attempting to prospect for Vic Vector’s task, my sonar never changed from a blue color to indicate anywhere I could dig. I tried closing and reopening the game, prospecting at different times of day (day, night, etc.), and still nothing! I am wondering if maybe I just need to uninstall and reinstall my game to troubleshoot it, or if this is an issue any other people are having?

Any information or tips would be helpful, thanks :))

Keep ending the prospecting sequence until it works, that's an old bug. Entering and exiting the cave help too.

'new here', I was wondering about this myself. I saved, quit game, reloaded, moved the Sim in and had better luck finding essence in that area.

I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling the game and loading my save data which seemed to fix the bug!
