By the way Metal, if you really want to go by the rule you posted: "Gold/Stone/Berries are considered trapped if 50% or more of the surface area is not accessible." The 3 gold pile in question has 8 potential sides total, and 5 of the 8 blocked by trees. 5/8 is greater than 50%! Wow, even by the rule you quoted and if we generously take that gold pile to be only 3 piles instead of 4, you're still wrong! Color me surprised
It's not bugged because it never belonged to him. Your main gold pile is 7 gold, your extras are 4. most of the map extras are 3-4. its not possible for you to have an extra gold of 3 piles. that was a map extra gold. therefore its not considered bugged because it never belonged to him. also I rewatched the recording and more than 50% of the surface area is accessible. you need to recheck your math. chris main gold is definitely bugged and you didn't see him complain even though he could of. not that it matters or should be considered
