Geologist Issue - Closed browser and search times.

I have been noticing the last week or so that when I am sending out a geologist to find mines if I close my browser and come back later, at times he has reset his timer, or gained time. I confirmed this today and I looked at him while searching a marble node with roughly 25 mins left. I closed my browser (using firefox) and went to do other things in the house, came back and opened the game to find my geologist at 28 mins, Note I gave the game easily an hour closed to work, so theoretically its taking him over an hour with the game closed, I dont know if this is an issue with autosave not saving our geologist progress, but saving everything else or not. Its pretty regular too.

Also as a suggestion it would be cool if we could set up a queue for our geologist, maybe 2 or 3 tasks.

I've had the same issue, particularly at night. However I have never had this issue with anything but Marble, which is strange. I can't replicate it.

Also agree that queueing up of Geologist tasks would be immensely useful for overnight discovering (or if you have to go but your marble mine still has 12 left in it). I understand the point is to be constantly engaged with this game, so perhaps doing it via a build-able item or on a timer (every 23h you can do it once) would be the solution.

same thing happens to explorers. they actually stop exploring, come back, and sit in the star menu. i had 4 savage scouts waiting in the star menu when i sent them out already. lost 30 minutes on the time...
