Went to run thumper. It activated, spawned cave worms and landsharks (actually got the vestige too. Thanks!). Went into cave and no ores. Tried it on a second cave and same thing. Could not run it in same spot despite Thumper saying there were 60 nodes that could respawn

Question 1: Are you running any mods?
Question 2: Have you tried a Steam file verify?
If you're running any mods (and yes, this does include things like WeMod), remove all mods (just disabling them doesn't always help) and to a Steam file verify
If that doesn't help:
Uninstall the game
Make sure there's no files left behind in the steamapps Icarus subfolder (or wherever you've installed the game) - files not listed in the installer are not removed (and also ignored by file verify), so any files staying behind might cause issues upon reinstall of the game
Install the game
Try again (without any mods obviously)
Do not touch the Icarus files in your userprofile though!
charred harness
No mods installed. I will try a verify later when I get home.

Just to make sure, it's the full thumper and not the mini?

I thought the same...
Maybe he's using the mini and didn't read the instructions.

Correct, its the full thumper. I had used it successfully with no issues prior to this. Im wondering if the update that addressed the foliage and spawing somehow affected the thumper, hence this post.

I just used one with no issue.

There wasn't an update addressing the foliage and rock respawn.
There was unexpected foliage and rock respawn during week 216(?) update, it was investigated and measures taken so it won't happen again.
Foliage respawn, rock respawn and voxel respawn are three different functions (add a fourth function: tree regeneration).
Even if there would have been an update addressing the tree and rock respawn, it wouldn't effect the voxel respawn.
Plus, even if it were so, lots of people would've experienced the same.
Have you tried the uninstall, check to make sure the game directory is empty and install the game again?
