Build: 1.8.1 3843 Mode: Survival Mode: Single Player Reproducibility: Always Severity: Minor Type: Resource Rock/Survival Multitool Summary: Cobalt resource rock is not recognized by survival multitool Description: When trying to mine a cobalt resource rock the survival multitool doesn't register its presence. I haven't tried if this is the same with the mechanical/laser drill.
I have mined many, many cobalt resource rocks (the surface ones, right?) with a multitool in 1.8, both SP an MP, and not had this issue. Which planet are you seeing this on? Have you tried verifying your game files and see if it still happens?
Come to think of it, I only mined them on Akua (Default Akua-Omicron scenario), which I falsely presumed to be part of Vanilla. And more recently I had the same experience on Ocean starter (Reforged Eden - the provisional update for 1.8).
Your original post implies it was ALL of them? I've run into one or two that couldn't be mined, but not all. I wonder if it's an issue just with those scenarios?
I did a few more fresh starts on Akua-Omicron (Akua) and Reforged Eden (Temperate this time) and yep, all the cobalt rocks I found were just 'thin air' to the survival multitool. They have the same new resource model look, but somehow they're not registered.
I forgot to mention in my previous reply that I also tried Skillon starter (Default SP). And the first cobalt rock I found there was perfectly minable. So I guess both Reforged Eden and Default Akua-Omicron make use of the same faulty/outdated config file.
That would be the scenarios, not the game itself. Although I think Default Akua-Omi is a core game scenario... you'll probably have to wait for Reforged Eden to get updated.
Please recheck this with tomorrows planned release which has a fix for the described issue https://empyriononline.com/threads/...ertly-after-saving-and-resuming-00267.100143/
