Aha! I don't have the consulate yet. I guess I will have to unlock that.
I have checked for sleeping workers. At any given moment, a few workers are sleeping or resting, but I imagine I should still see the progress bar as long as I have a few workers, right?
Another thing to check is how much storage you have for them compared to how many microchips you have in storage. If you have reached the storage limit, they will stop producing. This will apply to anything that has a storage limit.
OK, I still don't have a consulate, but I have like 35,000 gold, 6 workers total, and 2 workers that are currently working, And I have like 1 microchips stored.
Still no progress bar! Would it help if I uploaded my game save file?
