What happened to resource gathering?

Entropia Universe Professions Mining & Resource Gathering
1

I don’t know when these changes were made but something is broken.

[ol]
[li]There’s no way to find a decent spot with more than a handful of trees (and very spread out, making it just a waste of time)[/li][li]Trees have no level anymore. When was this changed?[/li][/ol]

Areas where I used to find them do not spawn even the tree models that were harvestable, the only trees left are only scenery.

Besides that, are there any plans to make this relatively new profession useful again or what? what a waste of development time…

Thanks.

Thank you for reminding me, fully forgotten about this lol

I’ll take some terratechs with me tomorrow when I go mining and check it out

Yeah, they should remove board drops from monsters and add all those boards to tree chopping.
It’s around for almost 3 (?) years and why has this not been done yet?

4

Y’all know MA pretty much abandoned this whole system after the plots were sold right? The blueprints the use farmed fruit no longer drop and most of the plots they were going to sell have been sold on top of plots on other planets being a bit broken.

5

Been mining and no more trees that can be cut …

We need more BP’s also that need wood for more furniture.
Think it’s been years since those where updated :frowning:

6

I can’t understand why they would abandon a system that is already in place and does no harm to anyone.

There are so many cool things that could be done with it that require little effort but they prefer to milk us for the plots and then abandon it.

1 or 2 months ago I was checking this out and I think I found some level 2 and level 3 trees near Corinth hangars tps or somewhere in that part of the universe. I found the place from a guide from the web or a youtube video.

Not that I care much, sold my Terratech already, but did anyone contact support about the issue?

Fairly useless to discuss here in forum, when MA maybe dont even know they have broken it.

Well, thanks to OP for mentioning it, as I didn’t know it was broken. It was at least still running a few weeks ago, but now I’m on Cyrene where there have never been harvestable trees anyway.
In terms of being broken, there was no use for the composite plank bp due to no new plots and nobody seeing any sense in building the snug and vegetable plots as it has stalled.
If it is now broken on top of broken then it might make it into my new book “Levels of Broken”, but even that is only a working title for now :laugh:

I will contact support, was hoping it was only me…

Expecting a copy paste response anyway.

there was months ago a nuts area near Ithaca, first time i found it there were like 10 trees all very close and many more around, got so hype for this area and few weeks ago they started updating the area and 90% of trees are gone wtf

12

I’ve done some tree-chopping within the last couple of weeks and everything seemed normal to me. Improved, in fact, in that the new camera system has made the targeting of the trees better - there’s no longer a need to stand in a very specific direction from the tree like there was before.

In market terms, though, pretty much no point at all in gathering the resources at the moment - I was only doing it to gain some skills - so that could certainly be improved.

13

I agree, nothing seems to have changed for me and there are places where there are lots of trees?
And I agree with Oleg, if anything the situation re targeting trees has improved

14

Yes, the new camera system improved the harvesting experience but I can’t seem to find any decent spawn of trees. Also, your trees still have level? Mine don’t.

If you know a good spawn mind sharing it? because the ones I had saved are 99% empty (ithaca, camp caravan and fort troy).

I also did it for the skills, all the boards are pretty much tt food.

rocktropia . hell —> near almost any vampire spawn are almost always trees … and its a lot

i cut atm some trees to get closer to 400k skills x:tongue2:

Angel, there is this post I made in Ark Forum= should help :slight_smile:

IMO, it’s not really logical for MA to remove any paid activity thus denying profits they get from decay.
So that’s highly unlikely that they will implement changes like removing trees intentionally.

18

The levels has been changed

Level 1 is now Small tree
Level 2 is now Large tree
Level 3 is now Huge tree

19

Thank you all, I still can’t find when these changes were implemented but it doesn’t matter that much tbh.

Spawn density. at least on calypso, has gone down but I have a few new locations to visit now :slight_smile:

Hopefully they wil do something with this entire profession, otherwise what a shameful waste.

I could be wrong about this but here goes:

  1. All vegetable plots (gardens?!) were complete and as such composite plank wasn’t necessary any more (the only blueprint requiring harvested wood?)
  2. The weapon blueprints requiring the fruit grown from gardens stopped dropping, thus making the gardens irrelevant

Could it be that they’ve decided to phase out the system on Caly by lowering wood spawns as far as they can go? Maybe the other planets didn’t get the memo - or more possibly there wasn’t a memo! :laugh:

Incidentally, it also makes the Christmas 2016 ring buff (show harvestable wood) irrelevant too.
