Mining question

[Whisper]

i found an ore node recently, but now that I'm mining for a second batch I got this weird thing happen. While mining on a same wall, my ores sometimes come at 18.2 and sometimes at 18.7 quality. Is it normal to have the same wall give 2 different qualities?

There is no 'wall', just tiles.

The ore is influenced by a 'quality node' (one more more), which can be seen as point in space that radiates quality (lower the farther away) into the surrounding.

I do understand this, in any case I was referring to the tile. The same tile gave me ores or two different qualities even if they had a difference of probably 1 point

Yeas it seems the quallity of the ore varies slightly maybe +/-0.5 ... guess it's randome .. dont know ...

The various minerals all have their own quality fields, and quality is also slightly randomized for each individual stone dug.

Quality for each individual stone will now differ minorly.

It was mentioned quite clear in the patch notes:
