Does the gem box not count as an obstacle?
It has all the traits of an obstacle, random spawn rate, random placement, cost to remove. However it seems that despite having the maximum amount of obstacles on my base it has spawned. I have 36 trees on my border, 3 Xmas trees, a random trunk that I need to get rid of and a gem box, totalling 41 obstacles. The limit is 40. I always keep my obstacles down to 39 so a gem box can spawn so have never noticed this before.
So to the point of the thread. Do gem boxes not count as an obstacle and if so have they been like that since they were released? I'd always been under the illusion that they were.
