I'm not sure if someone's thought of this before and if so I apologize - it would be helpful (and really cool) if, after you send in your key & schematic to make a steamworks pet, you could go back to check on the progress and it shows you an order/invoice. For example; Pet Name: x, Species: x, Time Remaining: x (and maybe artwork of the inside of the shop with your pet in production). Just a suggestion.

Why do we have a waiting time in the first place?

We don't have one with Vanya.

I wouldn't mind the wait if there was something tangible to wait for. The only way I knew it was working was that I checked the name of my pet later.

I wish they'd just get rid of the damn waiting time, first the schematic that can take days at the moment and then the pet itself with three full days is overkill imo.
