Crystalline Clusters Vanishing?

I'm also there now, some are small and black and when you shoot them they fly straight up and are hard to see- but they are there and it takes them awhile to fall back down.
So I can see why some thought they were vanishing.
 
Is this a new nerf feature or a bug?
It started happening after a certain patch. I think Frontier added something to make them temporary disappear once you collect it all. The game also started randomly crashing after you shot them at about the same time.
 
Geez, how quickly are people filling up their raw mat's now?

I was regularly getting around 135 mat's from clearing a site, which took around half an hour, so I'd have to scoot across to another site and collect the final dozen or so mat's.

If there aren't any more disappearing mat's, it must only take around 3/4 of one site to fill up on a mat'.

Back to filling a mat from one site - with plenty left - would be my guess - I wasn't empty so only collected just over 100 from each, and there were a lot left 🤷‍♀️

That's how it was originally and if I had any issues it's because I would shoot several then go collect them and sometimes I might misplace one or two.
 
Just arrived at Shinrarta after doing two trips to the area, one to fill up and trade down, the other to top off. Working as it did before it stop working.
These reports give me hope. Thanks for the updates. I highly recommend anyone who is engineering or even considering it, make this trip and fill your elemental mats. It's wonderful to have all that extra material to engineer and synthesize with.
 
Like I said I'm at the site(s) now, you can fill one mat with less than the entire field in about 40mins. But you have to know where the sites are and what site on each planet to go to.

Yes, working fine now!

And previously the ones that didn't vanish were all of the "startled hedgehog" variety. Now I'm getting about 50% "spiky tripod" variety, so it does seem that these were failing to load/render before.

Utilize a DSS and send down probes. After which choose Bio from the number of choices. Some sites will be larger than others. Doing it in a conda as I do, makes for quite the challenge.
 
Can confirm that it is fixed (sort off) on XBox too.
The spiky ones are no longer clipping though terrain and falling down inside the planet. They stay stuck on the spike - which is ok-ish :)
 
Crystalline sites have always done this for me. Nothing new. Assumed that you occasionally don't get anything from the shard.

That would be inconsistent with all other mats. If your contacts panels says it's there, it should be there. I've never read anything about RNG with materials that show on contact panel as being present.
 
Shards keep randomly disappearing when shot same as before. Nothing was "fixed".

I'm also not sure if this isn't intended, like others said before, not all of the sahrds were supposed to give mats.

Anyway, it's still the same, nothing changed.

in this case i'm glad i play on XB since for us the issue was fixed in a way that i really like
