The construction robots do not collect the very very very very abundant rocks with diamonds and rubies ;P

very very very very abundant rocks

Should I tone it down a bit, to 6x perhaps (it's 8x right now)?

My robots don't seem to be as defective as yours. You are standing close enough, right?

no sorry, diamonds are collected in iron yes in coal no, rubies I actually haven't tried, I assumed it was a problem with the new entities.....it's true that I'm often a bit distracted ;D but even by mistake sooner or later I'd get close to it :D

Should I tone it down a bit, to 6x perhaps (it's 8x right now)?

yes at least 6

if your next questions are: are you sure you have robots and carged, the answer is yes ;P :D

You won't believe it, but I didn't have any robots. The biters destroyed them while trying to get to this coal deposit :D. And now they're picking them up, sorry, maybe it's better if I go to sleep :D

I'm going to try these values for fissures and gems (you can follow along in port/config.lua):

    fissureProbabilityBuff = 1.5,
    gemProbabilityBuff = 4,

I'm not sure how many rocks you should expect to find on an ore patch, or how many gems you need to find to get started with production (the magic threshold number).

you need 1 ruby ​​and 17 diamonds, in the original version of the game the search was really difficult, now instead having doubled the deposits and the frequency you don't know where to throw them, I would also increase the distance from the starting point, at least you have to pretend to look for them a minimum :D. As for the fissuresI would tell you that they could be fine like this, I found the right one in this game and the fossil gas only one and far away, which is fine!
