Clay spawning issues?

[Caynez]

I seem to be having issues with finding ANY clay, even the basic one. I'll go along a coast for at least 4-5 'sections/map squares' trying every 2-3 ?squares? and I might find 1 basic clay. It's pretty much the same with Acre clay. I might find 1 per 'patch'. I'm even checking about the same distance too.

Your best bet is searching for the problem you're having first. This is a VERY commonly answered question.
Second best bet is asking and making sure you're doing things right before assuming it's a bug by posting in the How Do I? section.

Now, you're checking way too often. You only need to check every 30-50 tiles for clay as nodes are large. Read up on it here: http://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Clay. Nodes are relatively good sized, which is why you only need to check a few spots per mini map. If you're getting only one at a time, you're not on a node and so need to go farther.
