    I have mine all the nodes in Etceter first floor, waited for a long time, 30 minutes, and only 1 or 2 respawned. I had to log out and back in toget the nodes back !

    Same here. I am getting really frustrated with this. It was bad in R28 but worse in R29. Don't think anyone is looking at harvesting at all. When I was GM in all the gathering in R28. Harvesting hides was the fastest followed by mining, Forestry, and slowest of them all was Foraging. I was GM in all Swift and Proficiency. Why can't there be consistency ?
    Dev's really need to take a good look at harvesting and take it seriously. Lot of us are playing this game because we like to craft and not beat hell out of each other. Harvesting is a big part of crafting and it needs to be done right not half ass'ed.

    Confirmed:

    30 minutes after clean wiping the 4 rooms on the first floor, only 5 nodes had respawned.

    Fastest way is to clean them, logout, let the instance reset and repeat.

    It's not just the top floor of the mine. Its the second level as well. Can't get to third level yet.
    I guess they are making the Ghost re-spawn after you kill them now. Used to be once dead they stay dead which is nice since we came to harvest not kill ****. Hard enough to just get a load with out having to constantly watch your back.

    I know there is more than that, I concentrated on the 4 in the north wing on the first floor. As a sample.

    Trick, clean it all, quit game, wait a bit to reset the instance, hit resume, tada !! Infinite gold :-D

    The mining nodes in this map used to respawn on a per-room basis, but now they do so on a per-level basis (and there are three "levels" in this scene as far as resource sorting is concerned). Which means that when a room empties, a mining node will still respawn after a couple of minutes but there's no guarantee it will respawn in the same room and you'll probably need to switch rooms to hunt for their resources. I think this change is at the root of the problem, but this is all still good feedback and I'll increase the number of ore nodes available at any given time for the next release.

    so what you are saying is I have to clear the room of all node for them to respawn?
    If i only mine the gold node and let the iron there, they won't respawn?

    I'm pretty sure you didn't mean to type "per-room" twice.. What was the second one supposed to read?

    Thanks! Good catch. I edited my post. It now reads, "...but now they do so on a per-level basis (and there are three "levels" in this scene as far as resource sorting is concerned)."

    That makes a lot more sense! Does this new system accelerate the recovery of nodes if only one room on the floor is emptied or is that unrelated?
