#### Missing Gems?

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?

- Do you have the upgrades for finding gems?
  Edit: It appears you haven't bought ANY upgrades. You'll have to buy a good few before your mining will be as effective as it was before in terms of gem production, ore production, AND time efficiency.

- Ok, that's a super valid point! I know fundamentally nothing about how cards operate. I know they exist. I know they cost iMG. I know there is something to do with reshuffling. That's really all I've got.
  Edit: Assuming cards are even where these upgrades come from. (This is like a hidden secret new corner of the Glitch play style guide that I haven't bothered to explore yet, so forgive my lack of knowledge.)

- Ah. You should probably click on the game window, press u, and start buying cards :) As evidenced by your level, you'll have plenty of iMG to spend.

- Once I have purchased an upgrade, is it mine forever? Are there upgrades that are one-time-use? Are all of them one-time-use? Are purple flowers delicious? Is Ur flat? So many questions, so little time.

- Some are single use, such as Get Out of Hell free card, or the Free Reshuffle card, but the rest are permanent upgrades.

- All upgrades are forever, unless its a Get out of Hell Free or Reshuffle which are one time only.

- No seriously, is Ur flat though? ;)
  (Thanks for the info guys, I guess I've got some buying to do.)

- 700,000 iMG or so later, thanks for the tips again. Now I should be able to do ALL sorts of things better. (http://www.glitch.com/profiles/PUVBBI0VJGE28C2/upgrades)
