Explorer/Scout search changes

Ever since Science was introduced, there's been a need to check spent books on specialists out on mission, especially for Explorers/Scouts. I doubt that will ever happen, but..

So Recovery has been added with Expedition searches.

How about also add it to Treasure and Adventure searches by splitting current search time in halves with Recovery AND make it possible to reach the "science tree" while in recovery?
(Also, change paying gems to instant recover instead of halve search time.)

That way players will have more time to check their science choices on Explorers/Scouts (and perhaps more gems will be spent on instant recovery compared to current halve search time).

A confirmation button is a absolute must for your gem usage suggestion, preferably with similar confirmation to all the other gem pit falls brought in at the same time. Without such confirmation I'm not going to bother deciding if this is a worthy idea or not.

Not sure about the specifics of your suggestion... but it is more than a little irritating that you can't check out an explorer/geologist skill tree whilst it is busy. Of course you shouldn't be able to change it, but anything that means that I don't have to wait until the job is finished to be able to examine what books I have spent in a particular specialist and plan further spending would get a +1 from me.

Ofc there shall not be any risk to misclick and use gems, but as long as it's all about small amounts I think that small window popup is enough - no need for an extra confirmation.

Yes, I would like to interact recovering explorers/scouts pretty much like we can interact with recovering generals.

Instead of bothering us with those failing "Special weeks", I'd rather see them change to this and sometimes just offer Free Instant recovery.

+2 to being able to check the current skills while the specialist is working - would really help with planning.
