The case of the vanishing copper resource

[aubreymal]

So I spotted a 100% copper resource right next to a 100% iron resource and figure I will build a small outpost right here encircle them both and mine them in peace when i need the resource.

Picture one shows the resources im talking about.

So i start to build around it and then its just gone... vanished...

Hey, have you checked the underground deposits by prospecting? Seems like it has something to do with various decoration stuff (which is everything besides the terrain itself: rocks, trees,various debris, etc., etc.) clearing out when founding an outpost. No idea why this huge metal structure to the right is still there though...

[aubreymal]

no i did not check the underground resource by prospecting. However, i did collect copper from the structure that disappeared. So if its not a resource then I should not have been able to collect anything from it.

I think.

It seems that if you load a game after building stuff, some of the ground scatter tht would have been close to your building is gone. This may be related.

no i did not check the underground resource by prospecting.

Pardon me, i thought that copper may be mined with ore drill just like iron, so i assumed you can still get your precious pink metal even though ground veins have dissapeared, but seems like i was wrong
