Sulfur can't be harvested?
Heyo, so I'm currently in the Great Basin, and I need sulfur in order to make acid. Sadly, there seems to be no way to harvest sulfur, as there's no hint on how to harvest it, and trying every tool on it didn't do anything. Apperently, according to some discussions, you have to harvest it with a shovel. Sadly, this doesn't work. If you have any idea what's going on, feel free to tell, thanks.

Go near an sulfur deposit after that, save and restart the game. The sulfurs are gonna be top of the deposit.

Unfortunately most sulphur deposits do not have sulphur right now. I do not know if this is a bug or not. The sulphur itself is a lump of yellow on the deposit itself that requires a shovel to collect.

Interesting, thanks a bunch for replying, felt very stuck without being able to harvest sulfur.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

Was thinking that was the case, after I loaded back in to check for the lumps they were suddenly there, hope they fix that then.

Great. While there is a workaround with reloading the game in the area, it gets tedious as heck.

Just a note that this has been fixed in 1.14.5.

For anyone interested in dev details, for improved performance things like sulfur mines are hidden once they're out of range and then moved, reset and made visible again when a 'new' mine appears. With this bug the sulfur chunks were remembering their old position instead of being properly reset, so those empty mines actually did have sulfur - it was just being shown miles behind you :/
