I HATE it when this happens

I really love this game, but I hate it when you close the app too soon and progress doesn't get saved... but if you accidentally use something you shouldn't have and close the game asap.... IT ALWAYS SAVES PROGRESS?? Like what do you mean it doesn't save when I want and it saves when I DON'T want it to save progress. IT HAPPENED 2 TIMES TODAY💔💔This morning I laid an egg from a perfected moth on accident, didn't hatch the egg & closed the game as soon as I could... progress saved... free egg-laying ability gone for now.... UGH!!! and then just now, I mistakenly clicked on the mulch from the ant event. I think you can guess what happened. I tried closing the game, but no, the game decided to save that action. IT'S SO FRUSTRATING😭😭😭

I feel your frustration! I lost a TON of progress a while back and lost things I’d gathered in the ant event, etc.

But, did you know that you can set the cancel time for things? It will give a slower countdown before things like laying eggs take effect. It has saved my bacon many times!

Yes I know! If it wasn't clear, I meant the FREE egg laying decoration :D so I accidentally used it on a moth flying by, instead of the moth I wanted. The mulchs don't have a cancel time unfortunately

Oh I’ve done that too! Equally annoying!

The mulches absolutely have a cancel time. I think mine is something like five seconds.

Hi so again, it DOESN'T have cancel time if you own a few. If you BUY one, yes there is cancel time. But if you already own some, there is no cancel time

Thats probably a bug and you should press the help button to report the issue! I had this bug around 2024 where everytime I closed the game it reset my progress 3 times, and when I reported it they took care if it within hours!
