All Crystals are purple after last update.

Post by |K.O.S.H. » Fri, 16. Apr 21, 12:46

Hey.

After (one of) the last update(s) all crystals in my universe seem to be purple ones.

Yesterday i spotted a blue and a yellow one (i'm using crystal finder mod), targeted the blue (its asteroid), harvested the yellow one and wanted to return to the blue (the asteroid was all the time targeted) and it was turned into a purpile one.

Does anybody else have this problem?

This is working as intended.

X4 V4.0 introduced a crystal mining nerf. Once you have mined one crystal cluster of greater than base (bandanite) rarity all other crystals you see for the next ~half hour will be converted to bandanite as well. People were using crystal mining to hit like 10 mil in the first hour and completely skipping the early game, so it was nerfed to provide returns that are roughly on par with other income streams (though still very good for early game).

Can this be reversed by a mod?

Yes, there is a mod to return the crystal spawns to pre 4.0 levels

they need to rebalance it a bit in my opinion, cause one hour of mining got me around 1mil in a xenon sector(time to kill these ones that attacked me included, cause its fair that they know exactly where i am in a big sector) around 600k worth of loot. if i fight in the void near a station i get in 10 mins 600k to 900k from kills + loot ca 800k to 1 mil. and the xenon dont stop coming cause they have 3 stations. That dosent seems to me its balanced right.

No need for a mod as the nerf was per sector, so just move thy carcass to a new sector and do a rotation around the universe.

I set all the cooldowns to 0.
No i get new crystals, when new asteroids are created, but the "old" ones stil change color, what breaks immersion.

Is tehre really no way tio deativate this BS?

Its definatly possible to change the crystal spawn rates to avoid getting only purples. I do use a couple mods for crystals and mine dont get replaced by all purples anymore.
I am not 100% sure which one affected what since it was a while ago i installed them but i think https://www.nexusmods.com/x4foundations/mods/466 should be the one you want. If not just search on nexus for crytals.

I'm pretty sure they stop spawning altogether after longer sessions.
