Seriously man, not even able to pause the game when afk? I feel like you deserved it :)

Thanks for the info, I will look into it and try and fix it.

To be honest it has only happened to me ONCE and it was just a bunch of Greydwarfs spawning so I wasnt worried (or expecting it). I also had stuff in my Smelter & Kiln and wanted to come back to stuff instead of waiting; hindsight is 20/20 lol.
