So there I was, doing some mining in my own yard. Like a dozen stacks of ore at this point and not a single gem dropped. I haven't put this in bugs because I really have no idea if it actually IS a bug. Do mining spots people's yards just not produce gems for some reason? Or worse (gasp) does mining not result in gems anymore at all? (I haven't tried out in the world since I discovered this.)
Anyone have any info about the great case of the missing gems?
