Plant fibers are so hard to find!

[Veggie]

why are they so hard to find!

Look further in the distance. They are hard to see up close. Give it time, you'll start finding more than you need.

I have started over quite a few times now. I have noticed that Profile 1 has tons of fiber, Profile 2 has very little of anything, and while Profile 3 has a little of most things, it has very little fiber in any part of the map. This has been consistent for me. There's also the luck of the spawn -- or bad luck. If I get a bad spawn, I just start a new game. Norhing like spawning in the middle of 3 bears and 2 wolves!

This seems weird, but i have experimented something similar. I had a game on profile 2 that i have deleted because there wasn't almost fiber spawning on the map. On my profile 1 there's plenty and i don't even need to look after it, just go out my base and each day respawns all around it.

It seems that spawn is linked with the profile+map generator so if the map is almost empty of a resource, it will be empty always so it's better to just start a new game. I think dev needs to review the map/spawn generator.

i've started many new games...like about 20...and never seen a shortage of fiber.

Ok, good for you. And the guy i was quiting and me, at least, have started many games and have noticed that in some of the maps there is a big shortage of fibers for whatever reason. And it's easy to see when you have one of such maps. Maybe the spawn happen almost all in the other corner of the map, maybe the general spawn is low...whatever but it happens.

This is like those comments about crashings that are so typical. A guy has many crashes with an EA game, then came another one and says that game is ok because he has 0 crashes...ok but it doesn't help anyone: you, me, other players and the dev.

Negating vs all the people who post in this thread and saying that the problem is that all the others are wrong, or are blind or don't know how to play...seriously, that doesn't help.

Fibers and other items are randomnly generated folks! Someone could start 20 new games and have good luck Others could start 20 and not find much. It has nothing to do with profiles. It is a mind ♥♥♥♥ just keep playing and things will change as it is constantly generating random items.

You have played for 3.3 hours according to your profile. My conclusion is that you have simply not learned how to spot them yet. I've posted more than a few times that it is not obvious and is a learned skill that is perceptually very different than what your brain is use to. Because of the way we naturally look for things in the environment it will take you longer than 3.3 hours...and then only if you have an open mind.

I would say that by now you have a firmly embedded confirmation bias to overome as well.
