Outpost Resources and Limitations

[Yoshua]

Man I love building on the outpost. but metal/ore nodes not respawning unless you get that final crack means I have some bugged Copper and Gold nodes that will never respawn. The lack of buffs isn't horrible because they are basically non aggression zones, but as someone who built my first character around construction and cooking it makes me sad that only the beta resources are available on the outposts. Would be nice if we had the full array of produce to make all the pies.

Also, waiting for the other 2 outposts to become DLC. I'd gladly pay 5-10 bucks to unlock a new outpost with some new scenery, especially if they had all of the food/game resources available.


Summary:
1- Bugged ore nodes not respawning limits the ability to build
2- Would be nice to have all of the current in game resources, ie:foods, available on outposts
3- Add new outposts as DLC. Would love to build on more than one :D


Lastly would be I get it that outposts are saved locally, but being able export/import a saved outpost directly from in game would be quite nice so I could transfer it from my laptop to my desktop more easily.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I agree, 100%%%.. not sure why playing in a Outpost mode seems like a punishment for not wanting (or having) to play with other people. I say that because it seems that there are missions that require a team effort, unless you are over leveled for the mission. Just doesn't make sense that the Outpost missions can't have options to turn on or off items like predators, and I think I read somewhere you get an EXP penalty as well.

You could pay a ridiculous amount of money for what you get and buy the supporters addition.
LMAO what a joke.

Yeah. I am more of a 'I don't mind buying things one piece at a time, and buying ominous promises isn't for me' category.

I'll likely get all of the DLC and pay more than what the supporters pay. But I'm ok with that.


Also, agree 100% - Ominous promises for future content has never attracted me to pay more for something.

I'd pay 10 bucks a pop for the existing outposts without question though, even without fixing the content to include existing resources. I'd like the nodes and resources added, but I'd also like to play in the desert and winter outposts too.

The ore nodes and other resources like trees and stuff aren't respawning when you login again? Did the last patch mess that up?

Ore nodes only respawn if you destroy the whole thing, If the node is placed slightly too low, or too far back against a cliff, or something, such that some portion of it is inaccessible inside the terrain, you can't harvest the whole thing and thus it will never respawn.

This is true.
