Delayed Recycle Fields? / Bug?

[Nesno]

During some alliance attacks we typically like to smash some crap ships up against the planets defense in the first wave, while we roll in a few waves of recyclers, however, twice this week we have lost millions in resources as the fields would generate sometimes 6 minutes after the battle was over.

I cannot tell you how frustrating it is to get the below message. I wanted to stomp some puppies today after my recyclers arrived a good 5 minutes after the battle, left for the hour ride home, then saw the field generate a few minutes afterwards!

Our recyclers arrived and managed to collect:

0 metal
0 crystals
0 gas

On these coordinates now there are:
0 metal
0 crystals
0 gas.

Is this a bug? I do not ever want to have to sit through the life long wait of my recyclers coming home, empty. Forced to sit, helpless as my well earned field begins to vanish to the vultures.

Hey Nesno you always want to refresh the galaxy screen after the attack and before the recyclers arrive. I read somewhere that it can take up to 15 minutes otherwise.

yup did that, I logged out, came back in and it was there.

I then went down to the pet store, bought a puppy and smashed it against the wall.

I felt better and all was well.


Thanks for the help Dispatch.
