So, I don't have the expansion yet, but on TC-Prime when i check my resource crates I do see that Kashyyk has the full slate of resources (creature and minable) in the spawn tables.
Anyon who has the expansion know if they can be sampled there by hand, if there is any chance at harvesters, etc.?
Info would be sweet.

Tuesday night I was on Kashyyyk and the harvester topic came up. What the dev said was it is a no-build planet including harvesters. I have not tried to survey and sample yet, but I did see on the frogs that Kashyyyk had fiberplast and a few other resources. You can definitely harvest meat, bone and hide off of the creatures that you kill, and I imagine that you would be able to sample for the other resources as well, just not put up a harvester to get them. I tried forage a couple of times and it let me do it, I just didn't find anything. Medics might try their forage as well.

I'll have to try that for you when I get back in game. From the little that I played this afternoon I can tell you that Kash is very different from the previous planets. Instead of having a planetary map when you first arrive, you have an area map which shows the area immediately around the starport (think like a 4km X 4km box) and when you go to various POIs you gain access to a new section of the planet, each with its own area map. You can also see a full planet map, butfrom whatI can see it's impossible to bypass the gateways between areas; so the planetary map is only good for getting an idea of where you are in relation to everything else since there's no straight line travel from one point to the next.
Additionally, the terrain on Kash is very different. On the initial starport map there's a series of trails running everywhere with hills and forest areas inbetween the paths. It's not possible to run up those hills. Think Diablo II: you can see the hills and they're pretty and everything, but you can't actually walk up them. That said, I don't know where you could put down extractors. You're certainly not going to be able to put them down on the pathways. Perhaps some of the hunting areas are a bit more open, but I haven't gotten to any of them yet.The onlyhunting area that I've tried to get intohas an entrance quest that I've not completed yet.
In any event, I'll try to get some better information for you once I get back in later tonight.

I checked it for Gas, Chemical, Mineral and Fiberplast was the only thing that showed up.

I didn't have a chem survey tool with me, but I checked for mineral and there weren't any listed.
I know that Kashyyyk has the asteroid fields that can be mined. Perhaps the resources you saw listed on the blue frogs have to be harvested from the asteroids?

Are there asteriods that we can fly to?
is that what this space mining is?
Do we need a special ship?
