Deliberate ephemeral node behavior?

[Katchoo]

So, you can farm the ephemeral as you said - by using two other nearby nodes and jumping between them like they were a 2.x node group. However, if you do this, the 3.x nodes will not respawn, so if I'm hunting for my daily map in an area that has an epehmeral, I'll hit the ephemeral on my way past in the rotation, but continue rotating between all six so the 3.x nodes can respawn and maybe give me a map.

I think its two nodes from two different node pairings to re-spawn the EP node. Also you can defiantly use the EP not re-spawn normal nodes. Like i can mine a pair, mine the EP node, mine another pair and repeat.
