Thank you! Glad to see another FF enjoyer!!!!
I get your feeling about the mining mechanic of FF, but as you said, not enough time. Plus I wanted to replace it with another mining mechanic from a game I love (Glean) but I definitely wanted to try it at least :)
And I definitely intend to come back to this and make it a complete game with a better balanced gameplay and better written story :)
As for the inventory, it's normal if it dissapear at your base, as it's added to your base's reserve in the cloning room, so you can deposit your stuff all at once and continue mining or clone dinos. It's not a bug. Maybe I should have added a tooltip or a message to make this clear.
Thanks again for your time :)
