Ok the survey mission bug seems to be fixed it now tells the resource needed but its still unclear just says
"ORE", can it be any ore or the rearest and how much is needed (is that the efficiency number?). Thanks for help.

Any ore will do. You don't need to dig up a single unit, just find and survey on a spot at or above the efficiency number in concentration, and the mission will complete.

Also, I *believe* you need to find the spot with the highest concentration of the item. For example, say the mission is to find Ore at 60%. You find it, but the max concentration of that ore is, say, 80%, and that point is outside your scanning range. I don't think the mission would finish until you survey that 80% "sweet spot."

The few that I have done have finished when I am over any spot that is equal to or above the number I am suppose to look for and I do a survey one last time.

I was doing surveys fine yesterday (except for the missions that weren't specifying which resource was needed). The problem I'm having now is when I get in range of where I find the resource at the needed efficiency I'm told "Survey too close" and can't complete the mission. Anyone else getting this?

"Survey too close" is new, and is apparently to fix an imbalance where you could find an NPC in a good location and earn massive amounts of money without budging a step.

Im 3000 fricken meters from town and it still says im too close. How do i get rid of this mission?

Hit abort in the details screen.

* Sigh * The operation was a success, but the patient died.

So has anyone been able to complete a survey mission since the "Survey too close" message started to appear? Not me.

Well I just tried testing to see how far you have to be from the mission giver to avoid the "Survey too close" message. I'm on Rori and got a mission in Narmle, took a shuttle to Restuss and did the survey there (Its got to around 8k+ in distance. I still got the "Survey too close" message. We definitely need some documentation. Too bad the next update isn't until tomorrow morning.

I did think the survey missions were a bit too easy but don't think we made huge money compared to some destroy missions out there.l

Great thanks for help!

this new too close thing is unclear how far is far enuf I ran over 1200m from town and still kept telling me I was "too close" need something to tell us in the missions how far we need to be away from person assigning mission

Oh, I quite agree. The changes to the survey missions are entirely undocumented. If anybody from the development team were actually reading the Artisan forum, we might expect an answer. Sadly this is not the case.
