Diamond not showing up to work?

[Draconianwrath]

Is it just me or is diamond far too rare in the mining mini-game considering just how much of it is used in the building of higher-tier pickaxes/lumberjack axes/prisms? As you lvl up mining, higher tier ores have a noticeably higher chance to spawn but diamond seems to have missed the memo.

My progression through the mini-game is being walled by diamond's refusal to show up at a non-excruciating rate, I have so much of so many other resources that I'm now not even bothering to play the mini-game for anything other than diamond, just mashing the button and taking my minimum rewards in the hopes that a diamond node will spawn in its place.

Each node can only spawn a certain range of woods and mineral levels.

The game's subreddit has an image showing which node corresponds to which levels if you don't want to figure it out yourself, but the optimal is to only mine those nodes, and to quickly cull the threes in those nodes so that more diamonds can respawn there. If you mine randomly it will take you much longer.

Eg. The nodes at the top-center that spawn twigs and stone will not have diamonds. Some of the bottom right side of the screen do.

the problem is two fold:
1: you need a ton of those
2: it's a level 6 material, those seem to have the fewest spawn points and share those with level 5 and 7

so even if you use the map and farm the right spots, it will still take ages

I agreed, diamonds are really rare. I have way more lvl 7 and 8 materials than them, which are lvl 6.
