Arguably a video game design pattern more than a trope, so I'm not sure if it fits as a trope. This is the "Farmvlle" mechanic where your gather ressources automatically based on a timer, but the player has to manually collect those resources, and the gathering process blocks until he or she does.
Seen in Fallout Shelter, Farmville and Early versions of Revenge of the Titans, for instance.
