Lately on level 30 and above creatures I have been getting only 1 Hide/Bone/Meat from them. It tells me the creature was skinny. I even killed a Mutant Rancor and it only had 1 hide. What is the deal ?

a resource shift on that item is occuring, with rolling resource shifts.

example

fat and healthy start or mid shift

medium mid to late shift

Skinny almost at the end of shift,

Try another resource on that creature like meat/hide, they generally don't all shift at once

Let me give out the scenario.

I am at the Squill cave on Tatooine. The squills outside the cave give the normal resources. The ones inside only drop 1.

Ya something is up with special lairs, i noticed the same thing in the Veermok Cave south of deeja peak

That's a bug, animals in caves NEVER give more then 1 resource.

Great, now that my Pistoleer is worthless I figured I would just go find interesting places and see what I can stir up. Now these interesting places are bugged too. Running out of things to do.

Under normal circumstances (not counting buggy caves 'n such) the 1 resource thingy means that it is starting a new cycle. You can examine that 1 item to see what the next resource will be and it's quality statistics. If the stats are bad, you now know not to waste your time hunting that beastie for that particular resource during the next cycle.
