I have paused the game sometimes and I still get a restock. However I noticed something else when I have paused the game. I noticed that the food in the frigde goes faster I thought the food would be the same as before I paused One example is I had over 1100 food yet it droped to 350 after I came back to the game and unpaused it. I only paused it so they not get too old to have the baby, as they failed to have one.
