Update 3 - Mining Issues

[strong lava]

I have literally started to get one stone out of a mining spot, it doesn’t happen at the same spot but I’ve never mined a spot and only come away with one item let alone a single stone before this update.

[rare verge]

I’m still waiting on ice to spawn

[tame charm]

Platform: Xbox series X
Issue: Mining companion gets stuck twitching at mining spots. Especially glade of trust.

[opal rivet]

Platform: Xbox Series S
Issue: Two farthest NW mining points across the river shoot drops across the Glade, and across the lake, not in front as they are intended. (Sorry for the poor quality, was taken from recording my tv)

[icy bluff]

Since the update (only in sunlight for me so far) mining doesn't wield anything.

[onyx stream]

I've noticed this too. It happens when I haven't unlocked the bridges in a biome and use the well to teleport over there. As soon as I got the ability to remove the things blocking the bridge, it stopped happening.

[buoyant prawn]

Nintendo Switch:
Since the update, no yield from mining (or chests or thorns etc) from frosted heights (on the locked side). It is the only unlocked biome area on my map.

[limber bison]

I’m having this same issue on the Nintendo Switch! I cant get the rocks to spawn again in either the glade of trust or forest of valor (except the locked side?). I’m trying to get more iron for a quest which is how I first came across this issue. I noticed that breaking the rocks that are spawning on the locked side of the forest, they spawn on the unlocked side in random spots!

[faint glade]

Nintendo Switch:
When I'm on the other side of the river in the Forest of Valor, the side blocked by the stumps, anything I try to collect or mine, it shows up on the other side of the river.

[floral rock]

Hey i just notice there is an issue for mining in the glade of trust. the stuff seems to shoot off to the other side.

[spark trellis]

Platform: Switch
Issue: since the update half of my mining spots have been empty whitch makes it hard to collect materials

[quaint gazelle]

Im still getting the hang out buddy sticking to a node "bending down for the bonus" until i hit the next node... most common in the glade of trust and forgotten lands

[floral rock]

Hey mining seems to be an issue for the forest of Valor too. When you mine right next to the cave it shoots of too the other side

[wary pagoda]

PC, Unable to mine crystal nodes in the mone - they are not registering as minable.

[vagrant turret]

Platform: PC
Issue: Gems from a mining node in the Forgotten Lands clip into the rocks lining the biome and can't be retrieved. Location on map is where the node is and I've circled the area just around the corner where the gems get trapped.

[jaunty dust]

Platform: Switch
Issue: mining not yielding anything. It started out as a quest issue I thought with scar ( will not let plant the orb in front of the pillar) but has turned into a mining issue or more since the update. Was mining for emeralds for Merlin to upgrade watering can and notice nothing was yielding as I was breaking on several rocks in sunlit plateau or mines.. tried other spots in my valley and it did okay, then stopped. Now it has randomly started doing it on and off with other tasks like removing night thorns, breaking regular rocks , opening chest sometimes.

[celest orbit]

Platform: Switch
Issue: Rock spots suddenly not yielding any materials. They were working fine, then suddenly three in a row gave me nothing.

[mild coral]

Platform: Switch
Issue: Mining NPC goes to the rock to give an extra gem / ore and gets stuck twitching like this. Happens in glades of trust and forest of valor the most for me.

[warm mauve]

Platform: switch
Issue: When mining the rocks in the north area of the forest of Valor at the entrance of the frosted heights only (3 rocks around it), no items appear.. But they pop up all over the forest when I leave and return back to the forest

[livid mountain]

Platform: Switch
Issue: Mining results have decreased dramatically in Plaza, Meadow, Beach, Glade, Forest and Frosted. Haven’t tested Plateau, Forgotten or Mine Cave yet. I made 3 rounds of Plaza with a buddy and got zero! gems, 2 nodes gave me one stone or one coal. The remains 3 gave me 2-3 Stone or coal combinations. One the 4 th and 5 th rounds I got one gem in each round and one other item. The 6th round I got no gems. The Meadow had a similar gem drop rate, but more of the other items. In 6 rounds I got 4 gems. In the Beach area I got 2 gems in 6 rounds. Forest and Glade were marginally slightly higher, but Frosted was only 1 gem higher in 6 rounds. In all zones I got nodes that had only one item. But I didn’t get nodes that had no items in any zone.

[brisk mulch]

Switch: half of my spots, particularly in the plaza and peaceful meadow are empty and won’t respawn

[granite glacier]

Platform: Switch
Issues: Unable to interact with mining nodes in the vitalys mines.
(No dysync issues, all other mining rocks and harvestables are functioning normally)

[solar grove]

Platform: Windows Pc Issue: Reagents from Minding in Frozen Realm going out of bounds when clearing paths of rocks and dirt mounds.

[gilded cape]

Platform: Xbox Series S

Resources shooting across the map in Frosted Heights
When I mine in the 2nd part of Frosted Heights all the resources shoot to the other side of the map in random locations across the water.

**Caveat: **I can't complete the "What feels like Home" Elysa quest due to missing Syrup so cannot break the large ice and have to use the warp to get there.

[iron cape]

PC steam im not able to pick up any resources when mining and even with a partner I cant pick up items and it’s been happening with gardening and fishing My game as well and if I restart my game it will reappear like 10x the amount missing so it look like someone randomly dropped different resources EVERYWHERE

[spring yarrow]

Platform: switch Issue: items/gems won’t drop, even when they are shown on the mining spots. When i come back later the re-appear and i can pick them up.

[sullen cairn]

Platform: switch Issue: No sapphire drops in the mines after about seven rounds but lots of rubies! Maybe it’s just me but I keep going in circles and haven’t gotten a single sapphire ! Thank you 🙂

[pale karma]

Platform: PC/Steam
Issue: For one of the star path requirements it asked for Tourmaline, I had a miracle potion as well as a mining partner and got 9 regular and 2 or 3 shiny from just a few of them, but none of them registered for the quest :/

[buoyant wasp]

Platform: Switch
Issue: struggling to get AquaMarine for Star path quest and just in general.

[empty ore]

Platform: Xbox x Issue: Ever since the update I get like no coal pretty much it latterly took me 20 different mining spots to get 1 coal

[proper sequoia]

On Switch. I can't hangout with Eric. Thanks for helping us out😍😍 Love this game

[grand iron]

On switch I’ve assigned Eric to help me mine. I ask him to hang out and he responds sure I bet we can find an adventure or two and then bows and walks away.

[earnest phoenix]

Plateform: PC/steam
Issue : In the dark woods, i have a bag that i can't get because it's stuck on a rock

[floral rock]

Hey you still haven’t fixed the glitch where the stuff that you mine shoots off to the other side of the biome. The Forest of Valor is still having that issue. The mines by Elsa’s cave is still shooting stuff off to the opposite side

[terse bronze]

Not sure if this is the right place but, it involves mining I guess.

Platform: PC (Installed Through XBOX PC app)
Issue: Mined piece of stone is stuck in a plant. Location is the mining spot in the Plaza next to the ramp up to Sunlit Plateau. This is NOT a plant I placed myself, its a plant already present in that spot in game. Cannot move the stone in furniture mode or pick it up. Doesn't show an option to pick up.

[topaz night]

Platform: Switch
Issue: when mining in sunlit, nothing is coming from the me mining, it seems it’s getting shot off across the world

[dusty python]

Platform: swich
Issue: mined about 12 spots got absolutely no thing

[opaque crow]

Platform: pc
Issue: woody stuck in place while mining in the glade of trust. this is the only area i have a problem with.
Screenshot/Video:

[dusty python]

Platform: Xbox one
Issues: when mining items teleport across the biome

Note: might be what happened on switch to

[glacial bridge]

Platform: PC/Steam
Issue: My mining buddies constantly get stuck at a random rock. This has happened in the glade, the meadow, and the forest. Their animation will sort of shudder, they won't be able to pick up the mineral, and they'll remain there until I stop hanging out with them. If I try to hang out with them again, they go back to that rock and get stuck again. This has happened with Elsa, Merlin, and Kristoff. I'll try to get a screen capture next time it happens and add it to this post.

[opaque crow]

if your mining buddy gets stuck at a rock try moving to the next one and see if that works for y'all. i tried that and it worked for me.

[dusk herald]

I'm having an issue with mining every time I mine it takes around five minutes for me to get anything from the rocks and then when I do it throws them somewhere completely completely to the other side from where I'm at

[final oxide]

Platform: pc
Issue: all mining npc buddy glitch and get stuck in the glade of trust and I have to portal back in to unstick

[opaque crow]

just go to the next rock. that’s what i did when my mining buddy was stuck and it worked for me. ☺️

[final oxide]

Ive tried that

[winter sorrel]

Mine has been doing this aswell I’ve noticed it’s always in the glade of trust I have to teleport in the well to stop them glitching then you get what they are dropping too hope this helps xx

[opaque crow]

and it didn't work? weird

[final oxide]

Yeah, just moving on to the next rock spot doesnt stop the glitch it continues even into different biomes

[stable condor]

Platform: PC/Steam
Issue: Vitalys mines are unable to be mined. The nodes changed to ALL having a lighter blue crystal and no longer allow you to mine them.

[dapper current]

Mining partner glitches and now rocks are not spawning to be able to mine. Half were just gone upon starting up this morning

[frosty tide]

ps4. mining sapphires, rubies and vitality crystals for a while. since they were introduced to the game. however under the dreamlight mining section, it shows i've not mined anything from the mines.

[drifting falcon]

**Platform: **PC/Steam

**Issue: **Mining Bonuses not counting for Dreamlight achievement and quest credit. This happens whether its a character bonus or a bonus from the mining polish. Any gems that are obtained from these bonuses do not add to your counter in the Dreamlight achievement section / quest credit. This makes any bonus not useful at all for those looking to complete their Dreamlight achievements / quests in a less tedious way.

**Example: **Image below shows five diamonds obtained from a single mining node. However, I only received one point of credit towards my "Mine Diamonds" Dreamlight Achievement.

This issue extends to foraging, fishing and gardening as well.

[somber tusk]

I'm having issues at this same place.

[opaque crow]

have you tried going to the next rock? it worked for me but it doesn’t work for everyone

[cobalt oriole]

Platform: Switch

Issue: Sapphires and rubies are not counted under dreamlight duties after being mined.

Example: Spent 2 hours making a loop and my dreamlight duties only show 2 sapphires and 7 rubies.

[proud lava]

Platform: PS4
Was temporarily unable to mine any nodes in the mines. As another user mentioned above, all nodes were showing lighter gems embedded in them. I got all excited thinking you guys added diamonds to the mines as well. But my character kept shaking her head no when I tried to mine any of them. Exiting the mines and coming back seemed to fix it, but the nodes no longer had the mystery light gems I had seen before.
Also, for some reason, every so often, my nodes will drop wood that shoots across the biome?? Just happened to me now at the sunlit plateau node directly next to the mining entrance. This started happening recently after the newest update with Olaf, mirabel, etc. Happens maybe about once or twice a day for me.

[bleak basin]

Platform: nintendo switch

Issue: currently experiencing issues with mining in frosted heights, Mainly in the second section.
I Am mining but am not getting any rewards/items from it. Eg. Gems even if its hinting gem are in the rocks.
Have restarted switch and game

[grizzled star]

I could not find the correct place so i am hoping this is the area, I have not completed the memory things you find in the glowing orbs that drop when gathering, mining etc but i only get coins from them not had any memories or furniture or anything from them for over a week they do not even drop the pouches anymore.

[quasi elbow]

Platform: PC (Steam)
Issue: My mining buddies always manage to get stuck on this specific mining node in the Glade of Trust. Giving them a little nudge usually snaps them out of it but occasionally the characters go into a state of not wanting to budge when you try to run into them, which just now occurred for me with Stitch. He did get unstuck though when I moved on to the next node

[unborn blade]

Platform: Nintendo Switch
The gems on my rocks are spawning like they used to. I can only find 4-6 rocks in my entire valley, with gems per day. I have not manipulated mu switch in any way.

[forest cliff]

I just joined Discord to report this exact same issue. It happens every time I'm at that stone node with Scrooge McDuck. You mine it, he tries to collect extra ore/gems after you've finished, and instead he stammers between bending over and back. He stays trapped in the stammering animation until you mine another stone node. At which point the ore he collected flies across the area to you and he comes running.

[unborn ridge]

Platform switch
Issue mining buddies, doesn't matter which seem to be bugging out when mining especially when we get closer to the glade. The only way to end it is to go to another mining area but it keeps happening only in the area near the glade
