overheated laptop? Bitcoin mining?

Hi,

Maybe this is very far fetched, but when playing Big Farm, my laptop gets quite overheated, the ventilation fans go on ( very noisy) and it uses A LOT of battery power. My laptop is a MacBook Pro, so quite powerful.

Do others experience this? 

I just wonder if I'm being used for bitcoin mining on the side, because, really this shouldn't happen.

     Does your tech gut have an idea why this happens? I just wonder what is putting such a strain on the laptop in this way.

    On the surface it seems a game like this one shouldn't really be doing do this. It's hardly advanced graphics.
    Haven't taken it to him, yet.  He did say this happens with a few games that aren't designed to handle growth or something, and they are using the wrong whatevers to make the games run.  Don't really know, as tech stuff makes my head explode.  He's basically going to concentrate on fixing the problems caused by overheating.  I'll probably have to avoid using it for BF in the future, he said.

    Oh, yes, indeed.  I have to leave my high-powered BigFarm-dedicated laptop and switch to the desktop all the time.  The overheating has caused some serious issues that my tech guy will have to sort out.

    Do you have a cooling pad to sit your laptop on?

    Yes, I do. BF is the only site that causes it to overheat.
