I've been on all the planets to survey for gas but my gas survey tool doesn't list any types of gas. Anybody else having this probem? Oh, I'm on the Wanderhome server.

If the tool doesn't list the resource then it's not currently available on that planet.
You can either keep hopping planets 'til you find some or check www.swgcraft.com and see where the current spawns are.
Apparently Wanderhome isn't very gassy because this is the only one they have listed at the moment:
- Gas
- Known Reactive Gas
Ibeepeeliene, Unstable Organometallic Reactive Gas
DR=13, OQ=142
» Marked as available on Naboo 3 days ago

Even if there is no resource at that spot it would at least list what gas spawn was on that planet. I only see a blank survey tool. No resources are listed.

Only on Naboo it looks like.
Then again, if the swgcraft.com info it out of date it might have shifted.
If there's no gas in spawn on the planet where you are, it won't be listed in the tool.
If there is gas (even if you're not near it) it will be listed.

no, this is cropping up on multiple servers...
I've seen it on Starsider and on Infinity -- the only gas available is the JTL one 
almost like the old ones rotated out, but new ones haven't spawned yet...
note however that this was over the past couple days, so it may have corrected itself by now

They changed the resource shift in Publish 12 and reduced the total number ofrandom spawns by 15. In addition they redistributed 14 spawns to be reserved as Iron.
Before Pub 12 roughly a third of the random resources spawned as metal, a third as other minerals and the final third was split evenly between Chemicals and Gases. Pub 12 reduced the number of random spawns in each group by more than half. The problem is that the Chemical/Gas group isn't working properly with the fewer spawns. It now spawns almost everything as Chemicals leaving very little for Gases. Most galaxies has zero or maybe one classic Gas right now. (The JTL Reactive Gas is always present)

Because I'm a greedy info hound, where did you get those numbers?
I haven't seen any releases by the devs about how they calculate resource shifts, and I'd be very interested in this info.

They haven't released any info. I'm not even surethat they knew what they did in Publish 12. 
I've been monitoring the resource shift on Tempest for a long time and usedup a few thousand survey droids.They have been messing with the resource shift several times since Publish 10.After Publish 12 I also checked a few other galaxies by claiming my reward and visiting all the planets. Those galaxies had the same total and the same patterns. 14 Iron andhardly any Gas.
I wonder what they changed this time in 12.1...
