Iv never really found it hard to find what Iām after but that doesnāt mean it wont be later, I believe thereās 2 things they can do if needed
Adjust where they spawn and change the percentage
The least popular and never going to happen, change how GC works for example it only fuels your beacons if your active say log in once every 2/3 months instead of racking up 5 years then never playing again, obv the devs would choose whatās fair plus with the reclaim system itās not like they would start from scratch but As of right now GC is meant to protect all your beacons and it surely cant be much of a problem now or devs would have taken action
Snake plotting is now prohibitied, it has the same huge negative impacts as resource plotting, but still no strong actions to prevent that.
Makes me wonderā¦
And what is a resource that cannot be plotted? Any plant that might drop a resource like beans or lamilia? What about trees since they can drop bark and sap, and areas where coal, silver, iron, copper, etc. spawn? If we make it so you cannot plot anywhere that a resource can spawn, then not much if any of thesurface of planets will be available. Everything will have to be in the air or on the water.
I understand what your trying to say but we wouldnāt be able to plot anywhere as everywhere is a resource except the sky, like I said if it is or becomes a problem the devs will swoop in and save the day but i cant see banning it as itās already integrated deep in the system plus that would be even more work for them on top what they already have delaying more content to sort more problems then another and anotherā¦it wont end players will always have problems
I will not disagree with your options. If there are players that are having issues with how other players are playing game (within the rules btw), then petition the developers to make a fundamental change to the game where no resource can be plotted.
I would add also then petition the developers to let players farm resources that are not farmable right now.
I been getting all my surface resources (except bitter beans) from exos, because usually those have a higher quantity or a better density compared to permanent worlds.
But every time I say to some one to check an exo for resources they seem to hate the idea lol.
I understand gems are a little different but I dont think its so much the resource but more where they spawn, like bitter beans some are on perfectly flat ground for miles and the rest are on mountains
I agree I usually donāt mine, but there are times when I canāt help it bc Iāll come across a gem or metal hot spot thatās just begging to be collected.
With perm planets you have to wait for it to regen certain resources & hope someone wasnāt just there, hope itās not plottedā¦with Exosā¦everything is fresh and bountiful (for the most part).
Side note (not @ you) ā¦I do have to add that sometimes, Iāve noticed that resource āshortagesā on the perm planets are more of a perception than a reality. If you run into something that is plotted, keep traveling. Youāll find a spot that isnāt. The last time things on the forum blew up about Malu, I went there out of curiosity and had no problem mining gems. You can also chisel change gems.
There was a blow up about exotic yams tooā¦prices went sky high. I remembered seeing spinebacks all over Till so I went to see if they were still there. Yup. All over the placeā¦easy pickinās. I took them back to the mall and put some on a stand for super cheap.
I personally avoid gem mine areasā¦I donāt care for the slow regen. I prefer to save locations in my places menu(instead of plotting them), just wing it with my atlas, or harvest from Exos
(but I know some of our forgers depend upon a good/steady mine location)
The only resource that I actually feel like itās a pain to get are the bitter beans. The planets with more usually have them on very awful terrains lol.
I guess Iāll have to give it a try again to get diamonds on permanent planets. When I went there I was still kind of a noob, and I spent an hour running and digging on hotspots and everything I found were walled areas or small already mined places
There are def some walled off areas on some planets, but you can still find plenty of gems. A lot of the walled off areas are saved mines that have a portal somewhere so that the public can use them.
Iām not a fan of the icy areas that the beans are found in either
Maybe weāll get farmable bean plants in the futureā¦they will require T8 titan juice for fertilizer of course
Its been 3days and still no reponses, so here are some possibilities :
The Dev acknowledged about the problem, have it on schedule and try find a solution to solve it without letting players know during this stage.
The Dev acknowledged about this problem, but they dont see it as a big problem that has to be solved, and there are still many many unclaimed resource hotspots out there, so they put it on hold till it become a big trouble.
The Dev acknowledged players are complainning, but they dont care because they are not actuall playing the game daily to see its huge impacts.
The Dev know about the complains, but this is the way they wanted to game to be at the first place. An actuall pvp content among this whole pve game.
I will leave a negative review on steam page to warn potential players from buying and playing this game, let them see how actuall this game is before they step in, until the dev do something on this.
I usually donāt mine, but there are times when I canāt help it bc Iāll come across a gem or metal hot spot thatās just begging to be collected.
(I am just messān with ya 
shhhhhā¦& donāt tell people the world isnāt flat
