man....i hate this new update with the stupid resource change...I had waypoints all set up to 90% minerals and stuff...then BOOM they change it all around! Will it be comin back? I sure hope so.

resource shifts are agood thing.. it stops people from finding the ALL the high % spotsa and setting up shop and never moving.

resource shifting ALOT is a bad thing.

They don't switch back.

Every week or so they switch the resources on the server around. (Except on a few bugged servers like yours.)

You're either going to have to mine something else in the same spots or move your harvestors. The resources you were mining are gone.

ah yes i suppose you're right...i just hope they switch back... :/

well that sucks........I sure hope you're wrong...

Nope. That's the way it works. There are a couple of good effects: first, mining is an *active* job, not passive. You can't just set it up and feed the thing for a month and let it churn out resources, you have to keep up with the changes constantly. A side benefit of this is that it allows new miners to enter the market, rather than having the "all the good spots are taken" problem. Second, the new materials that come in will have different statistics than the old materials that left--sometimes better, sometimes worse. The fluctuating supply of various materials of various qualities means that it takes some amount of skill to choose what to sell when to whom.

If you don't think this is fun, you're in the wrong line of work.

woah, I never even though of that Hypatian...You're right that does make sence that this gives a chance for new miners to come into the market, and i may not be getting the same *amount* of resources, but maybe the stats are better on these resources than the last one......ok cool i'm ok with it now. Thanks Hypatian.
