[#623][6.0 Beta 1] Crystals - new lighting and asteroid geometry

Post by Xeroeth » Wed, 25. Jan 23, 22:42

Hello, after the graphics update there is a big problem with crystals being very often inside the rocks/asteroids, additionally the new lighting makes finding them almost impossible, since the glow can very easly blur with the sorroundings, or bad lighing. I assume this is just the first iteration of the new lighting system, but there needs to be an additional way to discern the location of the crystals. Maybe add a colorful glow that's visible from much smaller distance than the glimmering itself?

There is also a problem of crystals spawning on very small rocks that dissaper as soon as you shoot them, or you can accidentially magnet them in and since crystals drop of clusters only after you shoot them, you get nothing. After magneting those small rocks you don't even get a node of it.

I am having the same exact issue in BETA 2 I cannot find the crystal lighting "sparks" or "Flashes" Also crystals seem to be bugged into asteroids. Will get a screenshot when/if I come across one.

I found crystals in Grand Exchange. I flew along the shined part from the sun of the asteroids and watched manually on the surfaces (i needed the 21 Banda...stuff for Boso). It took me very long time to find them. By far not as easy as in 5.10 where you could watch for the blink and steer to that astreroid.

The asteroid heavy sector in terran space forgot name (ore belt?) Barely find any sparkly bits on the roids there, did in a diff sector but forgot which one it was.

Ud think hunting for a hour would find something but nope. Also have they sorted the issue where its mainly the purple crystals u find or the odd other color maybe yellow i forgot which, but its hard to ever find the other colors.
