Thread: Resource 'spawning' patterns?
It's been asked a trillion times, but hey, we all started at the bottom, so don't worry about it. Resourcesare completey random. They come and go as they please. Some things stay for 4 days to a week, some stay for 2 weeks. Some planets get the same spawns, other more rare resources tend to show up on challenge planets. There is no schedule, and no pattern. You need to be pro-active if you aremining resources. It's as simple as opening your survey tool outside a building and seeing what has changed. If a resource that you placed a harvester on is not listed in the survey tool, then it has rotated out and you need to move it, orset it to something else.
With Publish 8 DE's are getting a survey module that will go and survey other planets. Very handy, in that you no longer have to buy a ticket and go there just to see what is available to collect.
