    New Islands- Depos are Useless

    Dev's Diary says sector 20 has granite and salt, and sector 21 has titanium and salt.
    But if you search for them, you can't find them if you already have the depos found on the old arch islands.
    So they added islands with depos and did NOT increase the limit for each mine type, rendering them useless.
    Some people bought said island specifically for the depos only to find they can't use them.
    So either raise the limits or put a note in the diary that the limits are remaining the same so people know before they spend the gems.
    Present limits are 4 salt, 6 ti, 7 granite. BB, Please raise each type by one.
    I know its possible since 1 iron and 3 gold were added with the first 3 gem deed isles.

    It seems the granite is glitched. When you find the new one, three of the old ones stop being found, so the total of functioning granite mines goes from 7 to 5.

    I have 8 granite depos, only 5 of which are working, so, BB adds one ALTERNATE depo (can't say I saw that explained in the dev notes) and you get 3 that don't work. I used to have 7 that worked all the time.

    When you buy one of the first 3 gem islands, you get extra iron & gold depos, so why can't they increase the gran, salt, ti the same way?

    Now you have to have extra granite masons, at least 2 that will not be working most of the time.
    Not a very good sales pitch to buy gems for the upper new islands.

    Actually, the granite is the only depo that is in play. if you are building, using and then refinding salt or titan, your nuts. but granite is another story. the new depo up above is easily managed. tbh, with the intro of the stoney dudes, my granite production has been near capacity. they are being really generous. im pushing 1.5m thses days.

    See Deposit Maps Here: [ http://settlersonlinewiki.eu/en/island/deposits/ ]

    All of the New Island Deposits (A-13 and A-14) are 500 quantity Deposits so only the Original Island Deposits with 500 quantity for Granite and Titanium are effected by the 3/4 Cap. The 300 Deposit quantity locations for Granite and Titanium are not effected and have their own separate 3/4 Cap...

    All six of the Saltpeter Deposit locations (300 and 500 Deposit quantity locations) are under the 4/6 Cap...

    Dear Settlers,

    We'd like to shed some light on the deposits that were just made available along with the new islands:

    Each deposit type is split into several deposit groups, containing different amounts of deposits with different sizes. Each deposit group contains deposits of one type and with one specific size. Each group also has a certain amount of deposits and a maximum number of active deposits at the same time. The number of active deposits can be lower than the overall amount of deposits in the group. In this case, not every deposit in the group can be found actively. Which of the existing deposits are picked is defined randomly." -- BB_Odhran

    Thank you for explaining this further.
