Prior to publish 10, all inorganics lasted 7 to 10 shifts and all organics lasted to 7 to 21 shifts. Back then a shifthappened every 24-26 hours within a short period of a few minutes. So the shift happened around an hour later each day.
A lot of changes were done in publish 10 with the resource shift. One of them was to stretch out the shift period over several hours. Another seem to be that theinterval between shiftsis nowcloser to24 hours. I don't haveenough data yet to accurately confirmthe durations. But if they changed it, it wasn't more than one shiftin either direction.So the duration is probably still 7 to 10/21 shift. (Some of the other changes were that all shared resources now expire on the same day on every planet. And there is now a huge fixed pool of Iron. On Tempest we've had 15 Iron constantly since publish 10. This is nice for anyone looking for Iron, but has made all other resources more rare.)
Hereare some possible reasons why the new JTL resources are lasting this long:
- They have been flagged asusingthe same durations as organics.
- They have been put in a new3rd category (Inorganics, Organics, JTL) with its owndurations.
- Their durations have been manually entered and the next generations will last the normal durations. (Which most likely is like inorganics, but could even be a new category like in second option.)Maybe they just reset the duration counters when JTL went live, basically giving us a 6 or 7days bonus.
We won't really know for sure untilwe've seen a few generationsspawn and despawn. Since I haven't seen any reports on the first generationexpire before the 13th day, the first option doesn't seem very likely.

Looking at SWGCraft, it seems that almost exactly 2 weeks from spawning, the new resources shift. Wonder if it will be a consistant thing like this in a future.

Something is up there ... its the normal minerals that are not shifting on Kett. 13-14 days with the same Duranium Steel and nothing else... blech. I think the devs fell asleep
I got all the SW copper I willEVER need though.
Please shift!
