Roughly 200 to 250 alt. I would bring an atlas as the height makes it easy to just shred a section of a mountain. You will be grabbing residual stuff now but there is normally a good amount on the fringes left over.
Edit: also, Umbris can be in ice so don’t exclude that in your mining.
I’ve found there are large umbris chunks as low as 120-125, also. 300 in about 30 minutes this time around.
As you can tell by the other posts, Umbris has a real good range. If You’re not having luck, go up/down by 10 degrees and you’ll probably find a sweet spot or two.
IMO the range has it’s greatest variance in worlds with prefabs like we have on this planet currently. It really forces the player to move around a bit because there are large holes at the end of some of these rock clusters. At least in the area that I was going crazy in.
This is a great bit of trivia. The last Umbris world we had I had a lot in glacier. Ended up having a few stacks oof that darker red glacier as a result.
Yeah, I keep an eye out for suspicious looking holes around. Plenty of times I’ll save a gleam spot and come back and have to toss one, wiped and not regened. But not to be too much of a hypocrite, I’ve certainly been the guilty party too…
It’s a best effort sort of consideration. I don’t always remember to throw one myself. I have also used up my only regen bomb before and was not able to regen an area.
… Or forget to drop stuff off first and clutter up my inventory even more. Recently posted a shot of a haul on an exo on Twitter and it was pointed out that I had Spanners with me. Oops. Not only forgot to drop them off but was totally oblivious to them sitting there the whole time! But yeah, when you first know it is there, it is sometimes quite a mad rush.
