[sick carbon]

Platform: Xbox / PC
Issue: Storybook Vale spawns. Inkies, spices and flowers etc near the trial areas, or the bridge in the bind. Thus making Ancient Vacuums near useless.

[blazing grail]

Platform: switch
Issue: spawn rate in storybook vale is literally zero. I barely have any flowers or spices spawn while playing for 2+ hours. Some variations don't even appear. It's been difficult to collect resources for crafting and quests.

[distant dune]

Platform: Xbox Series X
Issue: NO INKIES at all in storybook vale for several days. I know they are supposed to spawn at 5am EST (when Splinter of Fate and Night Thorns spawn), but I search everywhere, sometimes several times a day, and they are nowhere to be found.
ETA: my daughter plays and cleans everywhere everday and she thinks its the days when they should be in the library, she said there haven't been any in the library in ages.

PC/Steam
Jaspers aren't spawning, no matter how long I have been mining all around the Glamour Gulch

Platform: Switch

Issue: severe, almost unplayable lag when digging (and now, with the Wishblossom update, watering crops is the same way). It’s been like this for months, and gets worse with each update… when digging with a Shovel Potion applied, and a buddy in tow, the lag is extremely severe. It’s a full 5-7 second lag between EACH dig hole. It lessens once the potion is used up.

Now, with Wishblossom, watering crops is a similarly miserable experience. The instant you try to water, the graphics degrade and the lag kicks in, and it’s hard to even position the character over the spaces you want to water. The digging problem is game wide, all valleys. The watering problem is definitely in Wishblossom, but I have not tried it in the other valleys or floaters yet.

Sorry… Pictures don’t help to illustrate lag, and I can’t attach video because I’m on Switch and can’t capture one. 😡

Platform: PS5
Issue: Extremely low Shiny Honeycomb Stone spawns. (Sorry if wrong area but there wasn’t a mining thread). I’ve been mining for ~4 hours constantly going around the entirety of Pixie Acres, and I have not had a single Shiny Honeycomb Stone drop while mining. I’ve tried with pickaxe potions, with sparked mounts, with two mining companions, and a mining villager, and I’ve yet to find a single one. It’s literally all I’ve done off and on since yesterday and nothing.

[gleaming sedge]

Platform: Switch (2)

Shiny Sapphires either have a nearly nonexistent drop rate or are just not spawning. I have been trying to get JUST ONE for the hour or two. Went through 10+ of the big Polish. Had friend and companion for it as well. Got plenty of ruby, sapphire, and shiny ruby…but not a single shiny sapphire

Attached a screenshot of my inventory. The one shiny sapphire is one I already had. And this is AFTER selling a bunch of the others I’d had.

PC (Epic)
Flower spawn rate in all the candy zones in the candy biome in Wishblossom is low to none? I used the Vacuum to check each zone and three zones had no flowers, one zone had 4 different flowers. This was after several hours since I last logged on and over 20 hours since I last harvested flowers in Wishblossom.

Also the time sand swirls on Eternity Isle haven't respawned since I harvested in the morning around 9 hours ago.

[quasi void]

Platform: PC
issue: night thorns, splinters of fate, inkies, dead wishblossoms aren’t respawning in my valleys. I got rid of them with my horses to level them up and thy havent come back

[lunar sigil]

Platform: Steam (PC)
Issue: No inkies in SBV except a few popped up in this area that is entirely unreachable?

[iron narwhal]

Platform: PS5
Issue: The spawn rate really needs to be looked at. It’s been days of nothing to forage and the mining is off as well.

[unborn fiber]

Platform: PC
Issue: I started going on a Swirling Sands clearing spree early yesterday morning, but now I need some for a quest and they haven't respawned even after reset. In some areas where I used a vacuum, flowers have also not respawned 12+ hours later. All on Eternity Isle. Other areas not affected (so far).

I'm having this exact same issue on PC
