If you mean the 0 units nodes. NOPE, last night I dug in windy gates and found many 0 unit nodes, mostly the excellent and higher grades.
I think this bug or feature or whatever should get a VERY high priority fix. Since I do not think that 0unit nodes should even pop, if it is empty, reset the spawn switch, change the timer or whatever, but do NOT pop 0 units.

I also found a relatively fast respawn area, loaded with choice nodes, of a material that few people use to craft anything of significance. SO...my days in the PR have begun.

Choice is back, can still get 0 content on excellent and supreme which is annoying.
However devs have placed aggro over alot of the desired mats and but made it easier to travel. So when u get to that excellent moon resin site you just need to kill all the hornchers, kipestas etc to get at the mats lol.
Travelling now easier, getting the mats as hard as ever.

This is rather joyful, to summarize, if I'm a 200+ forest forager and 51 Roots forager and 200+ mage that needs Q225 amp I absolutely HAVE TO forage in PR if I want a good amp; Absense of supremes in normal lands ticks me off.

Choice materials can be harvested with any quality level (i think) but i didnt try anything below q60.
Excellent materials can only be harvested if you're digging for q100 or higher.
Supreme materials require an even higher quality level. i am guessing 150 but i dont have a stanza that high to test it out.
Until you reach a higher level it is best to harvest choice using a quality stanza 10 lvls greater than your PR forage lvl. i.e. if your PR forage is lvl 51, use q60 extraction. If your stanza is too high your forage action is a lot more likely to fail and you will fail to catch the material or spoil the quality.
One way to lvl up faster is to use a reliable quality level with your extraction that wont spoil or fail for half of the dig, then when material your are extracting reaches its maximum quality switch stanzas to one that is 20q-30q higher. If you do it right you will be able to pull slightly higher quality and get more experience per dig. I got 2495 exp from one dig using this method. a lot of it depends on luck though.
One remaining bug i have noticed is that some excellent sources will pop up when you prospect for them, but the source content is 0... so you can dig and dig as much as you want from the source and get nothing out of it...
if this happens i usually look in the same spot for choice materials to dig. i think sometimes the excellent mats will pop up properly with different weather conditions or during a different season.
