Clarification on upcoming update

Seamus Masterson

So like most people I'm excited about the upcoming update that said I have a couple of questions I hope this great community could answer for me. Will the harvest rate of materials change? For example of I surface prospect and pick up an arsenic I get 3 was that unchanged in the beta? Also if I have a mod engineered to 5 will I just have to roll again once or 3 times to get maximum effect? I assume everyone is trying to get to grade 5 to eliminate going through all the lower tiers. Hopefully that makes sense and I realize that the update may change from beta just wondering based on those who played the beta how this worked. Apologize if post is confusing trying to post on my phone...

Hard to say, as we have no charting on the RNG of drops.

I heard people complaining about sulfur drops being lower...but, there is no way to know.

No change.

Neither - there were lots of posts in the beta forums / focused feedback fora I'm sure you can find that talk about this. Or wait until Tuesday.

I'd just head out to a barnacle site and collect all I need from there when 3.0 drops. The sheer amount of materials you get will usually be more than sufficient to gain you quite a few rare and very rare materials, depending on the planet's material availability (requires a detailed surface scanner or system data purchased to see this).

Braintrees also worth a look - they drop G5 mats, not sure but I think Barnacles only go to G4 (+ MA of course). Barnacle Forests will also be worthwhile.

Probably not, but it is at the very least a buzz in their ears. Sandro mentioned this was something they could look at.

My average number of rolls from an initial G5 upgrade to the final roll to maximize Grade 5 modifications was 11.

I'm hoping they removed the 10-thousandths place from the upgrade value or figured out what "round up" means prior to the release.

So is that total average 11 rolls from the first Grade 1 to the end of Grade 5, or is that 11 rolls on Grade 5 alone?
