But isn't that kinda boring? I mean actually seeing that you need to wait 20 minutes would kinda open the opportunity to just step back and return then

Wait, it's not supposed to be an idle game? It didn't come across that way, I've been stuck leaving the game running in the background for 4 hours+ for some levels.

Thats definitely not how you should play it

Might be worth blocking that method then to avoid Pandemonium Warden issues, especially if the demo is on Kong where idle games are pretty much the default now :)

Well, I won't prevent anybody but I just added a hint in level 1 that this game is not an idle game :P

I saw that, the confusing thing is that it says that but even after hooking up 4 belts, you still have to wait. Maybe the missions/levels, or some other tracker, could be based on production/sec instead of production total? That way it's obvious to the player what they "should" be going for to have the designed game experience.
