Does anyone know what's up with ore spawn?

[Sevenless]

Lots of people I've talked to have been running into very small "ore veins". Right now one I prospected has so far been 5 tiles, but interspersed into the rock.

Is this just the outer crust of the ore nodes or is it a little screwy?

Dunno, only ore i've seen is some crappy low-ql Heavy Earth that caved in on me the second i mined it. Ore seems rarer than before.

I have no idea what is in their minds.
Mining was already very tedious.

But now supports decay, take damage from prevented caveins, require lots of metal to repair.
AND they reduced all ore spawns by like 95%, what is in their minds ? Do they want to their players not to play the game? Do devs even realize that there are many people who like(d) mining. At least in my village there are multiple persons who mined alot on previous worlds, who now complain. Reducing the metal gain like this is not very motivating for them, they might even quit the game because of it!
Maybe they want everybody to only do those OP RNG quests 100% of the time, that is what I am feeling they want people to do. They nerf all other aspects of the game, for example, mining and metal industry. Refuse to buff or balance bad curios. While not even thinking about nerfing questing!!! Its a conspiracy!!!

it was to "try" and make early game last longer but imo done poorly.
mining was already very tedious and now its kinda unbearable. i think if they want to slow down metal processing they have to do like a third process after smelter that takes a few days like steel.

Yeah, "slow down the early game" is a pretty clear thread running through most of the changes for W11, I think. Conceptually, I like the idea of it being harder to rush to end game content really quickly, but stuff like this probably needs to be tuned better over the course of a world or two.

Maybe this'll be a short one.
