There seems to be a beta action...

I misclicked and suddenly, I was doing a Gathering animation as if I was gathering eggs from hens... unfortunately, I cannot replicate it.

Also, I did manage to get a single copper ore fragment, but upon metallurging (Is that even a word O-o?) on the same spot, I came up empty with a message saying "there are no ores here."

It's a glitch with metallurgy spots. I'm assuming you misclicked on the hidden name tag... or something. If you had the actual prop name up and you click on it, you will start gathering rather than metallurgying, but the spot still actually runs out, but doesnt disappear.

oh, I just thought it was some random beta action x-x;;

which remind me, there was an additional potato field before the Trading post got implemented. I once again did the same thing here and misclicked. lol
