They should just multiply the gem spawn/regeneration rate. Bring the cost of gems down, while the supply goes up. Now people buy gems in bulk. Increase the amount of prestige decorative gems give. Hello rich people with no coin sink. Encouraging established players incentive to buy gems from lower end shops. That āgem wallā isnt as intimidating to new players, encouraging more new players to actually stay. More new players=more new worlds. More new worlds=more fun, more color block choices, more revenue for the game via cubit purchases by peoole wanting to take over new planets.
If youāre worried about the grind, the grind will always be there. Thereās always new blocks to grind, mats to farm, etc. Give achievements for building on multiple worlds. Take away blinksecs skill, slightly reduce warping costs. People will start warping directly to their builds, less stress on servers by people crossing through 4-10 planets to reach their destination.
Give us a toggle to locate shops. Change icon color density depending on remaining stock. Gray out or remove icons of out of stock shops (no need to reward players who quit continued footfall)
Iām just throwing ideas out and idk how easy/hard/viable they are to implement but Iām bored at work lol.

every time u feel like this game gets grindy its just that u try something thats way over ur head either too low lvl, wrong skills, low equipment, gaps in knowledge or all of it. Why are u even on t6 going for emeralds with iron gear? and btw 120 emeralds is great. did u expect to swim in them?

I wanted to reply to this post earlier but I had work and other things. I decided to do an experiment with cross aoe iron hammers. I went to my usual spot on Serp (I have a beacon on the mantel) and noticed that someone else had been there (or that it hadnāt regenerated for several days) but decided to go ahead and try mining anyways. I have 8/8 power, 5/8 dex, 8/8 luck, 5/5 attribute bonus, 5/5 hammer mastery, the hammer epic and the damage epic. I set a timer for 1hr and these are my results:
Gems
92 diamonds
Metal
98 iron
14 gold
26 titanium
Coal
202 medium coal
158 heavy coal
44 light coal
Fragments
11 cobalt
12 saltpetre
8 sulphur
2 olivine
Minerals
93 rock salt
13 flint
8 opal
Rocks and Soil
3.5 stacks of rock
174 sand
107 gravel
So I donāt really think there is a problem with mining for gems, and before this I was mostly mining with iron bombs with similar effect. (after the nerf, I never got a chance to try before) I think using the atlas (which updates in real time the first time you land on a planet with a 24 hour timer afterwards) and knowing the signs to look for to see if an area is still regenerating is more important.

I disagree. Iāve been playing this game over 1000 hrs, still learning but know a lot of the way around and still I feel itās too grindy. Just because you can tolerate it doesnāt mean every person - and thereās a LOT of them - coming here to express their view that itās too grindy should be corrected on it. Getting really tired of this predictable response, not from you but in general. Your own tolerance for a particular playstyle does not invalidate othersā views on it.

for u its grindā¦ .for me its simply playing the game. The difference might not be in the playstyle but in the expectations of what this game should deliver in a given amount of time. I just relax and play, enjoy the music, enjoy mining gathering or hunting and plan my future paths. I dont look at others and how far im ahaed or behind and i frankly dont care if someone is finding this game grindy or not lol.
I was talking about specific short episodes where u get bored because the progress is perceived too low, referring to kameniks experience. You are talking about a general feeling of having too many duties and not enough hands and especially not enough time (because u plan to move on to a next game in 1 month? because u wanna be first? because u have job and kids and ur hair turns grey before u finished ur pyramide?) 2 different situations where one can feel the grind.
and can u please tell in which post i invalidated someone others view and not just expressed mine. Opinions of other people never was point of interest for me. they hangin in the air and when u poke at them 3 new pop up, one nastier than the next. i try at least to argue facts or i contribute to this general cloud of opinions but its not fun or engaging for me to stomp some opinions, not sure where u got this impression

This makes sense. I just now was mining through an area on Besevrona that looks like the world regen just forgot to put resources in. About a 50-block cube with no resources except fossils (unless you consider lava a resource). No coal of any type, no silver, no iron, no copper, no tech, no titanium, no gold, no gems. It had me bored out of my mind enough to give it a look up to see if something was broken. Also, with world regen happening after 4 hours now, and the atlas updating after 24 hoursā¦I might as well just use a regular dice roll to guess where to mine.

yep terrible i test minig on Alcyon T6 planets i use 3x3 titanium hammers 10x 10x titanium bombs what i use to help destroy block 2x bomb+2-3xhit with hammer and i go to spots ruby after 4 hours i havent any titanium hammer destroy 5 titanium bags and have 16!!! ruby and see in many time how bombs destroy resource and rock stay and need next 3 hit with titanium hammer OMG everywhere lava i destroy all one mountain and have nothing.i need ruby to build coil and when i see all big shops ruby 0 or when is in stock 2000 per one OMG .
I have been playing since sep. 6 on ps4 and yet to find any gems by mining Iāve only found in meteors. I am finding it hard to progress much because of the power coils. Gems need to be a little easier to find.
