Stupid question, but do resources spawn the same on all servers?

No it varies by server. To answer your question, from what I have been told here, each value has a hidden cap. For Rhodium that cap is on the SR so you cant make truly awsome barrels. The highest I ahve seen it is like 310. I am sure someone has the chart for you...I dont.

Not everyone knows about the way resources work.
Yes there are different resources on different servers. And a material say Foobar Rhodium Steel pops up on Gorath you will probaly not see Foobar Rhodium on another server.
And the caps on materials are a way of levling the weapons to a certain point and not allowing them to get to powerful. We have seen the effect that the Shipwright materials have changed our weapons such as copper with SR1000 or Steel with cond up to 999 and such. So its meant to be this way.

Yea, and Plumbum Iron can never go to 100 CD, so we can't make really badarse De-10s

No, but you think that the servers would have same stat resources with same name......only reason for this would be the increasingly ridicolous names!

I think that material names are cycled through in the game. I was talking about the dope berries with some guy in game. I though the berries named dope was humorous. He said wait a minute we had dope wood on my old server once.
Yes I am sure that the names recycle. Then again there is probabally a list of like ten thousand so it might be forever before you see a name come back on your server.
Rhodium steel is just capped. Unless you are one of those lucky few people that happened to stockpile some of that resource before it was capped. I heard it took a few weeks before they capped it in the game. Then again by now odds are that the devs retro capped the resource, or its all been used up.
Look on the bright side though. Since its what capped under a hundred I do not think the quality of it matters all that much.

There is a hard cap on some values on resources. For example, the cap on Rhodium steel's conductivity is 85. No Rhodium on any server will ever spawn with a CD higher than that. Polysteel copper's shock resist is hard-capped at 800, and so on. For most weaponsmiths, this really only affects us in the area of conductivity, as most of the steels and irons we use are capped at mediocre or downright crappy CD values.
