Do nodes spawn time increase the more you collect?
The detect distance is slightly smaller than the view I get at my zoom setting for the mini map. I often have nodes “disappear” when I go to mine one. If you walk back towards whet it was it will show up again.

Are you sure about this? As far as I can tell, all the nodes are replenished after you die or reload the game.
Believe me I am sure, and they disapear because they are changing to the way they look when they are mined. I had one disapear and I walked over to it after it disapeared and it was already mined. I also mined things last night that have not come back. For me they spawn about every 24 hours. I farm so much that they dont spawn like they do for others. I feel this is along the lines of discrimination. If its going to take 24 hours for my nodes to appear it should for everyone, and they dont I hear from guildies 45 min. 6 hours. It is not fair that because I put hard work to farm that I should pay for it by having a slower drop rate.
