I am seriously upset.... i was not online few days and what ?
From what i catched up is:
1. When you destroy mine support, you got cave-collapse
2. Ambergris got reset, and are really crapy now y.y
I mean, i didnt see any info about changes like this, and... i spent really huge money for ambergris, only for lose all this money now ?
When, JC want change wind mill or something, you need to build next one, for get changes... but with ambergris, all got reset, nerf etc. etc.
I feel really as robbed guy, and i have lucky beacouse buddy have notice mine support change in another mine than my huge base mine, which can just destroyed be, thanks god not

Ehhhh, just, i dont know what to say

I heard the reset ambergris returns to it's previous value at an accelerated pace. Not sure if it's true or not.

I suppose 'accelerated rate' could be true, but I have ambergris that was 40k+ before the downtime/reset. And is currently sitting at 1.8k... So if it's growing faster then newer ambergris is, it feels like the investment into whaling is hardly worth your time now.

My mine supports always caused cave ins. I think it is like mining a tile with very few tiles around it. I destroyed one bot long ago in the middle of a large cleared area and the 3 times I tried it caused a cave in.

As for the ambergris I think that is intended as well if you left for 5 months you wouldn't be able to use it. So cycling it every once in a while is more a blessing then a curse. Just wait another 4-5 days.

Pretty sure nothing new was introduced. We were told more nuts from trees. That has not happened yet so I doubt JC has put a different build of the game introducing any new changes.

Nothing new with mine supports.

Ambergris was out of hand and was adjusted. It still gets better with age and should not have been rolled back to new. I.E. your old ambergris should still be better than somebody else's that they got last week. However, it just ages at a different rate. I'll probably adjust it one more time so that the rate of acceleration also slows down over time.

100/day is still pretty good no? I mean month old ambergris would still trade at 3000+ Law & Lore making it a pretty good inspirational. and 3 month old Ambergris would be better than anything else out there?

Yeah, I had ambergris up to around 80-90K and now it is small again. I'm gonna keep watching it to see if I can get it that big again.

not madness and finding whale worthy....and def storage. If there is a special storage for them sure. I am not going to build couple of sheds just to leave them 3 month...3 months if going at 100/day(and not slower) it will be 9k/1 use. Now they are just like those turtle shell. Anyway the point here was you change it without letting anyone know in advancing resulting screwing people that dishes out money to buy tobacco, or ambergris to use or resell.
