I'm a new glitch so forgive me if this is an old topic. I'm trying to mine in Ilmenskie and all I see is street after street of dullite. The beryl and sparkly all gets mined and doesn't seem to respawn very well. I imagine this was less of a problem in beta, when there were fewer glitchen in the mines but right now trying to mine is an exercise in frustration. If I do find a sparkly rock or beryl, four or five players immediately pile on and I don't get more than a couple hits on it. The bonus for helping doesn't make up for only getting one or two hits on a rock.
I can't craft anything with only dullite since it only gives red and green. There is no other resource where I can shut out of what I need by other players trying to gather the same thing. Milking a butterfly doesn't despawn it, and trees don't run out of fruit. Why does mining work this way?
It feels like something needs to be re-tuned. Perhaps dullite could be made more useful or there could be more beryl and sparkly relative to dullite? I think the respawn rates also need to depend on the number of players in the area.
