I get this message even though I sample in 70-80% areas. Is this a bug?

Im at surveying 2 and I think it was for Alumuminium only that gets this problem

The second major shifting of resources started recently. For what ever reason, and yes it's probable a bug, it takes time for the resource to settle before you can sample it. Waypoint the area and check it again tomorrow.

I've made this observation on two occasions, so it's not yet enough tests to prove my work around, but...

if you buy a shuttleticket and travel to a different city, then try sampling the resource (given the proper density) it seems to work. Anyone else made this observation, or counter observation?

My observations seem to indicate that the survey map is updated before the actual resources are.

Thus, you open up your survey tool to find that resources have shifted. You follow the survey map around for a good spot, then kneel to try and sample a resource that has not actually been placed on the planet yet.

I think it's just a timing thing- I save the waypoints to the good spots and come back later to place the harvetsers, and everything works out all right.

I can't speak to the shuttle thing fixing it... I might try it during the next resource shift.

Yes, I've had this problem. First time was when I first started. It was a fairly low % and I was Novice Artisan only. At the time, I just figured I was too pathetic to make it work.

However, now I'm a Surveyor and hit one of the new resources (about 6 hours after it hit the list) at 92% and got the same message.
