Bug? Ore node disappeared!!

[Scilly_guy]

Guess its probably my fault that they fixed this for mentioning that I found two mines side by side and everyone said that was quite a common thing, so they checked and fixed it.

Maybe, I had reported it like half a year ago, but seems loftar didn't really believe me ^^

Woo woo wands are chance based, yes? Could you see it once and then not see it another time you come by? maybe try again and you see it again?

Same here
I found mine and mark entrance. Build nice camp around and when I got enough mats to build it.... puff.
Very bothersome.
How much cost high quality rod?

BTW if you just fix woo I would not find mine again but how come whole construction disappear? Ummm?

woowoo wands were bugged and showed ALL MINE entrances.

It has since been fixed.

If construction was started on unclaimed land then it's possible it decayed.

Has there ever been a prospecting thread on this forum. I swear to god this is this only real game mechanic that nobody understands.

So wands were showing all nodes or was it random?

What do they show now?

I've heard that wands and rods show every iron node within +10 of their element numbers down to 0 and I've heard that they show within 10% of their % in the element they're highest in.

Personally I've tested all these theories and haven't figured it out and I had something like 20 rods last game that went up by 10% in all 4 elements.

Can a dev or someone who knows please tell us what they changed and how it works for once?

Since Plymouth's start it was a commonly accepted knowledge that woo-woo wands let you find nodes with purity components differing by less than 5 from wand's components.
In case of metal rods difference could be as high as 10 per component.

However, at some point it got broken. I can only guess it was the update introducing purity nodes, which allowed some purity on woo-woo wands. Since then it seemed that wands were simply showing all metal nodes.

Now people say it's fixed, so we should be back to the situation with max 5 difference for woo- woo wands

would anyone like to lend me his/her dowsing rods for just one minute - so i can locate that node again and start mine construction?

The chance you find it again with metal rod is quite slim - after all you dont know what purity the node was
