Does the chain reaction of the upgraded trowel really work? I've been trying it again and again, but the only thing that happens is that the fissure is safely removed - no chain reaction whatsoever... I've tried from layer 1, 2 and 3, and none of them activates the chain reaction... Does anyone know if it works? How do you activate it, if it really works?
That losing of "Day to Night time" in the excavation while you are digging is for me a content-break and a illogical mechanic. There is a easy better solution.
