I had tried posting this before, but was rejected.

Lagavulin had posted that Herbs take precedence over Skyfallen Stones, but only had 1 Cotter.

I had 6 and they still never got to the Stones!!

I presume this would happen on Minerals too; and probably Hides when there are enough present that your Cotters can't get them all in 20 hours.

ALSO - the clock was weird! (thanks for fixing it so it counts down on each cycle for the Cotters, BTW).

"Weird how?" You might ask. :)

After being present for 10 hours, it still showed 16 hours remaining. I checked back every hour for a couple of cycles. Still 16. I watched it cycle down, at which point it showed 15h 59m, etc.

But when I navigated away from the page and then back to it, sure enough 16h remained!

Technically, 16h 59m 59s and counting.

I actually thought this meant it was freaking out because of the Stones and that I'd, eventually, get to the Stones - but it eventually righted itself and got down to zero; at which I had my 600 Herbs and the Cotters returned home.

Still not Stones...

Thanks!

@Cerberus?

How do I call out Admins on this?

Could someone please address Skyshards vs. Herbs/Minerals?

I subscribe to Josh remarks:

Fixing the precedences on harvesting is obvioulsy tricky! even more when you consider the difficulties of it, rel. anatomies! i.e. which parts are got, what's the rate of decay, etc.

(Recently, my skinners were identified as harvesting entrails - I assumed that would get some, but in the end, a few hours later, no entrails were delivered, only worthless skins!. Disappointing — and costly to buy on the markets the item!)

I was labouring under the apprehension that we'd fixed this - and any skyfallen stones on herb and mineral patches were legacy falls - once harvested that's be the end of it.

I've done a scan of the complete map and have a database of all the tiles that as of 14 Jan 2020 had splinters and either minerals or herbs on them. I've made a page where you can type in the coords of a tile with herbs/minerals and splinters to see if it is a new or old one.

Found a spot that as far as I know did not have Skysplinters and herbs/minerals on my map scan but does now.

Stormcrow - wouldn't it just have been easier to prioritize the Skyshards over Herbs/Minerals (and even Hides)?

They're a diminishing supply that shouldn't result in never getting to the other stuff; whereas the other stuff slowly grows back.

With 6 Cotters, I got close. I don't have any towns with more; but I would bet I could have overwhelmed the spot with bigger numbers.

But if the Skyshards are first, they would eventually be harvested away; unless they're going to fall at such a rate that their "growth" is on par with the Herbs/Minerals...

Sir Stormcrow...

I'm pretty confident that this is a new one; but I haven't been tracking them super-closely and may have missed it.

I'm afraid I have no idea of timing - as in when you made your change and when these stones hit these herbs. Hope that's in your logs somewhere!

Thanks.
