It depends on their harvested state, if they've been harvested then no meta-alloys are available, they will regrow over time. Scumming won't work with the empty ones either.

So basically it means you have to look else where for meta allows?

This is getting entertaining.

Steps for a casual player / non masochist:
1. Download 2.1 update
2. Get in game and fly to an engineer
3. See that it requires something you've never heard of
4. See that there is no description or hint as to where to find it
5. See that it doesn't exist or is always in demand in commodities market
6. Quit the game
7. Play XCOM2 instead
FD, just imagine for a second, a player that has never been to the forum and never intends to. Now design the game based on that.

Well seeing as every bloody elite npc has access to these mods yes.
As if relogging to get more of them in reasonable time wasn't enough...

Great idea: how about another meta alloys CG?
Michael, just last question - people said that healthy Barnacles when shot produced other metals, but not meta alloys. It is by design?
This.
This update is an absolute joke. All the good work they do and they it up with this nonsense
Heaven forbid an explorer wants exploration data
So. Lemme get this straight...
I can fully understand the logic behind "they can be emptied".
But there will be thousands of players needing Meta Alloys. ANd a seemingly limited supply of them.
Question: If a Barnacle at one location is farmed, then that will become emptied for other players?
I'm sitting right beside an intact barnacle right now and it is budding off stuff, but not meta alloys - how long does it take to bud a meta alloy then?
More clues needed, or this will be an exercise in abject frustration.

So what you're saying is keep looking for Barnacles and you'll eventually find them?
Sorry mate, but after having missions that were impossible to finish on the boards for the last 5 months, you're going to have to be a little more obvious.
Other than this little snag, great update so far btw. I'll be back to moan about some other stuff as it arises later, I'm sure.

Meanwhile NPC's have access to all the mods from day one.
Sorry this doesnt cut it.
If they wanted to change how things are done, then the hint should have been there from day 1.

If they're shooting a large spike which has the large pod attached then it should drop meta-alloys.

In other words, if everybody is milking the same cow you'll be fixing your tea without cream. Time for everyone to find their own cow (barnacle).
The whole point of my post was that if you have a track record of making missions that don't work, but that it's possible to waste hours on before finding out it doesn't work, then enigmatic silence isn't really an option available to you.
Ah well, the enigmatic silence has been thoroughly broken now, and everyone knows what the score is. Go go gadget barnacle hunt!
