How are you supposed to leave Auto Fishing enabled while you take care of stuff on other screens if:
1. It cancels every time the bird moves
2. You have to click on the arrow labels to go to other screens
3. Clicking on labels moves the bird
Okay you had me questioning my own memory, so I just started a new file to test this. XD
In this new file where I do not have the sparrow yet unlocked, auto collect does in fact stop when you go to the next screen. (The setting stays on though, so it'll automatically go back to picking stuff up once you switch back to the right area. But as I sit here in the sunflower field I'm gaining zero popcorn.)
But if you have the sparrow unlocked from evolution it keeps going even when you're on the other screen! This is at a much slower rate than if your pigeon is on the popcorn screen as well though.
Okay ignore the above and look at my other comment, I may be a little bit uhhh. easily mixed up. (facepalm emoji here). Below still stands though
I think the solution here is to have an upgrade creature in the future that auto fishes for you, which I wouldn't be surprised if that's already in the plans for the next evolution or something? It would make sense to me at least! ^^
WAIT A SECOND. POPCORN IS NOT SEEDS................ I may be a little bit stupid here, sorry. For some reason my brain was equating those two together as popcorn seeds and just referring to seeds as sunflowers, and not really considering it "auto" since there's no turning it on and off. You're completely right on that actually @_@ sorry about that again lol.
