You need to aim throwables close enough to have an effect but not too close as it just destroys the ore. Aim to few meters off from the ore.

I think the latest update broke something. I had been farming hot/cold rock ore with no major issues before (in very rare cases they used to disappear before but that was really rare). However since that patch 1-2 days ago they all just disappear.

I've tried all kinds of things: restarting the game (temporarily worked once for half a dozen ores and then never again), switching worlds (never did anything), aiming molotovs/grenades to the side (doesn't matter if it's a direct hit or just at the outer edge) and removing all gear to reduce elemental bonuses. They pretty much always disappear. At this point it's practically impossible for me to get ore.

yea idk they updated the wrong things. one day you could smack hot rock ore with the fish and mine it, the next it would explode lol

We played recently, maybe a week ago and all was fine with rocks. We were using basic fire/ice grenades, though. Maybe you are using too powerful version.

if the rocks get destroyed it may be due to your PSI being too high and destroying the rocks the grenades and hot knife scales to our psi , take off one or two equipment that should solve the issue

its not depends from your gear in any way. Its feels like session bug on server side, when on client side you see ore, server side not registred it. Maybe cuz other ppl already took it and somehow he count this ores like gold or silver.

nah. imo they changed it. i noticed that a you can harvest every note exact 3 times. then they keep disappering. i guess they want to make chaosium more valuable.

There is a cave with so much cold ore, that the time you need for the harvest is nearly the same time it takes it to respawn. unlimited ore + super easy acid = unlimited chaosium.
less need to kill the weaver.

And there are much more ore spawns in the world now. 90% they changed it.

I'm playing now in winter, in one go I dug up more than 2k cold stones, I haven't tried fire stones yet and only once when I threw a molotov three stones disappeared but after 5 seconds they appeared.

YES! This happened to many people on my server lately as well. It used to happened when twotw was introduced too but not that often as currently.

The way these crystal ores works is, it's originally NOT an ore node. It is an entity that looks like its respective ores.
If it takes damage, it explodes and destroyed. BUT if the element is its opposing element, it will spawn the actually ore in its place, and that's when you can mine it.

But this bug, after the crystal entity is removed, it DOES spawn the ore node in its place BUT it will disappear immediately.
Due to how it works like this, I don't think you having too high elemental damage is relevant. It's just your luck.

It happens with both nades and throwing knives. Day or Night and with any gear level. I first thought it causes by lag since many people spam beach party during lunar, but it happens outside lunar period as well.

One lunar night with buffs and solar drill + TH, I could get 3k cold + hot ore per world. I've got about 7k maximum in one night before.
But when this weird thing happens, I can only got 1.5k TOTAL.

I don't know if they made this change intentionally, but I'm quite sure if it is, they won't be fixing this anytime soon.
