OK, so when I started getting 3 different types of bones and bristly hides and leathery hides, I was OK with that. Now what's pissing me off is that it seems that the type of hides you get is totally random. Take avian bones. I harvest avian bones from ONLY Dwarf Nunas on Tantooine. So WHY do I get 3 DIFFERENT types of bones from only ONE type of creature?

It's this way with EVERYTHING now - I've been out harvesting rills this morning for hides, and I'm getting 2 different types of bristley hides even tho I'm only harvesting a single creature type. What the heck???

I mean, if I go skin a cow and process it's skin, I get cow leather, and I get it every single time I use cow or bull skin. If I pluck a chicken I get - you guessed it - chicken feathers. Not every 3rd time, but EVERY TIME.

As a scout, my main source of income is selling hides and bones and meat to other players - I'm OK with different creature types giving different types of resources, but if I'm trying to collect a stack of 300 of something to sell, then I should be able to pick ONE type of creature to harvest so I get ONLY that one type of skin.

Anyone else think this needs fixed? I'm SO tired of having 3 types of each type of hide plus 3 types of bone plus 3 types of avian bone. My pack is a mess, with these 15 types of resource stacks, it's really getting annoying.

This is just a shot in the dark, because I haven't been on too frequently for a couple days, so I haven't had this problem.


But could it be that they are getting seperated in different stacks because of their quality? Of all the times I've ever harvested, the statistics have been really standard. But the one I do remember is the very bottom number, I think it is Quality or something, but I've either got ones that have 123 or 64 for that statistic. So maybe it is cutting them up in piles according to that, so that you don't have a mix.


That is just my guess, take a look and see.

I am having a new harvesting problem. Everything I harvest is reporting as skinny and only yieding 1 unit of bone. I still get full xp for the harvest as if I had harvested 13 units of nbone but I only get on.e If I harvest hide from the same creatures then I get lots of hide and they are fat and healthy. I have had this problem fora few hours now no matter what I am hunting from light blues to even cons and all types of creatures. ANyone else having this problem? Its getting harder to hunt now becasue I have run out of bone for crafting traps! I had harveting III when the problem started and now have harvesting IV woith the same problem after a couple game reloads and comptuer restarts
