Beta patch
The resource depletion for faction settlements has rendered them not very valuable, this was introduced in that big balance patch.
So to counter this the following changes have been added to the beta patch (which is growing quite big)
-Resource locations near other faction settlements are now owned
-Highlighting a resource location will show if they are owned in red and show the owning faction
-Resource locations near tradable settlements have the largest capacities of 250 units on the map.,
-Resource locations range indication is capped at about a 100 units, so the amount will show but the rings won't grow larger , for practical reasons
I think this should correct the situation and actually add more value to the faction /npc settlements as with depletion turned on they now sit on some of the most valuable deposits on the entire map. So good to trade, good to grab ;)
lemme know if any new issues arise.
