I was wondering about the seasons. I understand that we can only get Supreme mats when the seasons change, and only in the Prime Roots regions.
well, that's not exactly right

. It's right from a practical point of view, but the inner workings are a bit different. (btw I assume you meant harvested mats and that includes Nexus, supreme forest ecosystem up to q200). Supreme mats have their own "conditions" of weather, time, season, etc. and, assuming they did not deplete, you would be able to dig them during those conditions.
That said, since supreme mats deplete and they are pretty much looked after, there is a common rush at season changes to dig them (without going into details, depleted supreme nodes refill at season changes given some particular conditions). Rather than "finding" the aforementioned conditions, common practice is to rush there, and wait, wait wait till they pop (let's say that the time scales of supreme popping time window are relatively short).
Unfortunately, this means that once the mats have been mapped, nodes location and spots known, part of the fun of digging has gone. To add insult to injury, there are offline time trackers that allow players to sync time (we have suggested to Nevrax to either officially add time and date to the map, or to prevent that "half known")--> consequence "let's all rush to dig sup zun at summer time", which particualrly I don't enjoy (I haven't been at the zun supernode for months.. but nevermind)
I wish there was a random pattern to them. Today, it's almost impossible to "happen" to be there at the right time and dig supreme zun (unless it happens to be e.g. Forbidden depths or Land of continuity and no one bothered to go there till now).
I have found some excellent mats but its limited. How many hours are in a day and season?
