Not a flame but I know about swgcraft and have been using it for about 11 months now.
I was just wondering if anyone on the other servers were noticing the same trends that I have over the last month, which seems to be the case.
Thanks all and lets hope that they can get this sorted out soon.

See this thread for more information: Clicky attempt
Another way to understand the changes is a summary of the distribution:
Prior to Publish 12:
2 reserved for Iron, 14 reserved for other Minerals, 5 reserved for Chemicals and 4 reserved for Gas.
Plus 25 random spawns from any of those categories.

After Publish 12:
14 reserved for Iron, 10 for other Minerals, 5 for Chemicals and none for Gas.
Only 8 random spawns are left. Gas can only spawn as random ones now. In addition Chemicals seems to be prioritized over Gas.

JTL resources, Fiberplast and native resources are not affected by this. They are handled separately.

SeaRaptor (or a dev or even another corr), has it been brought to the dev's attention that the resource spawns have been very strange of late? (Since 12.X, don't recall specifically).
To elaborate:
Many galaxies are completely void of any gas (except for the required JtL gas). And if a gas does spawn, its only one type. Also, on many servers, there are many different types of Iron (10+ at any given time), but very few of any of the other types (2 Copper, 2 Steel -- not counting the required JtL spawns).
While the increase of Iron is nice, having no named gases being present makes for quite the situation when many crafted items (including some of our WS own) required named gases. I fear the day when I run out of Irolunn, and have to either pay top dollar for it or wait 6-8 months just for one spawn of it.
In short, I'm just looking for some confirmation that yes, they've heard of this issue and yes, thats the way it is now, or its being looked into.
Thanks.

Starsider is also like this. I posted a message in the WS forum similar to yours, hopefully a corr or dev will see it and can pass a word on to the devs.

It has been brought up to the Devs a number of times.
So, yes, they know.

Well several of my guild have noticed the same thing. While we have had gases spawn other than Organometallic they have been few and far between. Steel is in short supply unlike Iron and I won't even talk about Non-Ferrous. Could the devs please take a look at the resource spawns and fix them? They haven't worked correctly since JtL hit.

I've noticed this too regarding Thoranium Steel (for Thermal grenades) so I had a look at SWGCraft.com to see what the historical spawn rates were.
On Ahazi the first 20 spawns of Thoraniumwere at an average rate ofevery 10-20 days, withone unusuallong wait of 61 days. In the last 6 months though those gaps have increased - the last gaps were 60, 23 and 47 days,and there's beennone for the last 56 days either.
Not surprisingly the galaxy seems to be totally devoid of any thermal detonators, yet at the same time I can have my pick of 15 types of iron that are currently on spawn (3 each of Bronzium, Dolovite, Polonium & Plumbum). Not sure the balance is quite right at the moment!

I havent really been paying attention *too* much, but Crism ore hasn't spawned in at least 3 months, while 9 spawns of Kammris Iron all with 4 900+ stats has spawned in 4 weeks. Okay, I can make all the PH's I'll ever need, how about some Irolunn?

Well the Devs have finally heard our pleas, on the current patch notes and on the Test Center is the fix for this problem.
Harvesting / Resources
- The penalty for harvesting while in a group has been removed and replaced with a 20% harvesting bonus when harvesting while in a group.
- Creatures will now yield more milk after being successfully milked.
- Its been a bountiful season. The success chances of getting mollusks and crustaceans while shellfish harvesting has been increased.Expect to see higher yields from your shellfish harvesting!
- Searching a creature lair will have a higher chance of finding eggs as well as a lower chance of finding nothing or finding a jar of bugs. You might also want to try searching the lair again; there might be a chance you missed something!
- Increased the amount of resources spawned, so that rare resources will be slightly more common.
Prior to the Patch there was no Steel at all on Corellia, and after the Patch there was at least two different Steels on Corellia. I'll add more info later after I make a survey of all the different planets.

Could need some good Gas, Ostrine Ore or Diatium Copper.

You can find this information in the "In Testing - Dev" forum from the front page, or just by watching the "Dev Tracker".

Guru,
Thanks for letting me know that the Devs are aware of the issue. Now if they could just fix it =]
