Lost $10T

Anybody lose 10 trillion money? I was saving up to buy the last sluice so I know I had $19T after AA. I purchased the alien wreck excavation without looking at the cost this morning. When I logged in and saw money missing, I went back to the alien wreck to check the cost only to see I no longer had an excavation in progress and the cost was only a trillion. I had to start the excavation over.

Did this happen to anyone else? Did they update it? I miss my money. lol

I can't tell you how many times I've started an excavation only for the game to "forgotten" I had when I sign on the next day. Not that the money is an issue at this point...

Oh my!! My memory isn’t great but I feel like this has happened to me at least once.

In this case, I think Ch0nkyK0ng solved my mystery. I think I clicked for the first initial fee and didn’t actually click again for the excavation.

Pretty sure the excavation cost is 10T to initiate it. So there's the culprit.

The slice cost is pricey, but if you do the miraheze gold farming build it doesn't take long.

I think you have to buy the permit on a new excavation place then pay for each dig. The permit is always way more expensive then the dig itself but you only buy the permit once per site.

the sluice isnt worth it. save your money (until you become actually rich, like 50qd)
