On September 10, 2026, Elite Dangerous players reported that surface mining sites, which normally reset weekly with the server tick, remained depleted at over a dozen locations. This unexpected behavior suggests a possible bug or change in resource regeneration mechanics affecting surface mining. Commanders relying on these sites for income and materials may face reduced availability until the issue is resolved. The community is seeking clarification as this impacts routine mining operations and resource gathering strategies.
- Surface mining sites did not reset as expected on weekly server tick.
- More than a dozen locations reported with depleted resources.
