Because if it is too common then the price would crash for those selling it I guess.

Put in what time? The planets are getting cleared of the resin and petrolim in an hour. You make it sound like you’ve spent hours grinding and building up to go out and get these resources. You have been lucky when they spawned, that is all. If they were only spawning while you were at work you would not be looking at it this way.
As for Simoyd’s Exobot, I follow it, that’s why I have what I have. And I don’t feel the need to spam !exo every 30 minutes like some people.

I have been at work when they spawned. Then later that night I’ll go look for some, and find nice stray pieces that players missed.

How much you have from each rare resource by now?
I have like 30 blink and rift, no fluids or other “rare” stuff.
And i find it boring that stuff is rare.
No, the danger on collecting stuff is still there, so we wouldnt Play creative mode.
Nm, the mindset in here is not what i am Looking for, no offense to you or anyone really.
Rare is what creates Tension and nice People become beasts.

I don’t see this as a player/time problem. I see this as a exos-are-a-bit-too-rare problem. It seems like in the past week, they are happening more often. If that pace keeps up, I think things will level out. If we have to wait several weeks like we did before, then something needs to be tweaked.
Rare items should not be plentyful nor on endless supply with regen bombs.
I’m never able to get enough blink or rift to use it in builds like I want to, but I’ve never complained on the forum about that. I know it’s suppose to be somewhat rare. Even though I see other players with stacks and making roads out of it like it was candy. Do I think they should get less? No. Do I think I should get more? Nah. I find what I find.

Aren’t these bad examples since you don’t have to be on at a certain time. You just have to do missions or kill monsters till you get what you need to craft it or the item drops?

I have like 200 resin, petrolim. I have roughly 50-100 of blink and rift.
(I don’t use lucent gems too much at the moment, and I’m using most of my liquids for builds)
I gather stuff as I want to. Tbh it doesn’t matter what I have.
Rare stuff gives you something to look forward to, and it feels great to collect.

Look at the times they have spawned and the compare them times to UK time… then come back with that argument.

Because, in my opinion, the game shifted heavily to please the achiever player type.
Rarity is a good thing… i havent ever seen exotic bulbs, resin, or petrolim… and i think thats awesome. Something to aim for, and im sure ill be a very happy guy when i eventually find them.
Remember when topaz used to be 700c each and everyone complained that there wasnt enough to go around? And since a massive increase, when was the last time anyone was excited by finding topaz? It just gets in the way of gold mining which is more valuable.
Please devs, stay strong. We need more rare items. “Everyone wins a prize” makes it all mundane a lot quicker.

But the Blink and Rift aren’t cleared out in an hour. There is always some left when the planet leaves that a determined player putting time in can get.

Ganda is 10000% RNG. I still don’t have one. People make YT videos about it when they get one.

A determined player putting in time gets rare liquids too

Or it frustrates people that cannot advance projects and they abandon that portion of the game or leave the game. I think it can do either. every player is not going to feel the same way.

Also, I may have had 9 of them

What would be the point of playing a game if there were was nothing rare?
Players are always going to complain something is too hard, while others figured it out, and got what they wanted

Hmm, well three spawned late evening/last night in the U.K. when most of the European player base was home and able to play. Not sure what the time zone has to do with the resources being cleaned out in an hour…

Sigh…
Just like in the construction world…everyone wants everything for free and they wanted it yesterday.

I’ve seen people come to the forums and say “it’s all gone”…then hours later when I can get on, I take an atlas and I can generally find some pieces. Petro isn’t all over the place and plentiful to begin with. It’s a few pieces down in water, it’s a few pieces in a cave… The game is purposely making this resource scarce.
We need some rare, hard-to-get items. Creative mode is boring.

Just look at all the excitement its created in this thread alone! 10 people all typing posts at the same time.
I hope the next one is cleared out in 10 mins… people will lose their marbles with excitement!
