Has anyone gotten cocobolo lumber? I've been sending 4 ships at the new sectors non stop and haven't seen a single one despite sending them to sectors where most folks say they come from.

what are your sub builds? are you sending them to the right sectors (I'm assuming you are). If you're not getting Cocobolo lumber then you have bad rng or your surveillance rating is not high enough to grab it. i upgraded three subs to CUYC and even then it took almost a month before i was able to get 18 lumber to unlock the last set of blueprints.

I suspect the drop rate on the lumber is intentionally low. Some FCs are going to have good RNG in getting it and others bad. We're at 6 of 18 so far and for the last month I've been sending our 3 subs only to the sectors that drop it.

Another thing to be considered is whether very high surveillance is working against us in this case. If other items on the loot table for a sector have a higher surveillance requirement, we have a smaller chance of getting the lumber back when we use subs with the higher surveillance. Did anyone pinpoint what minimum surveillance is needed for cocobolo lumber?

[Norri_Matora]

Cocobolo Lumber drops from Clear and Calm weather patterns which requires decent Surveillance. The minimum required is 145 160.

Hmm I've only got 2 subs that meet the 145 surveillance threshold, still kinda odd to never have seen even one bring back any yet. Might have to reconfigure the other two or make some more of the older parts to raise surveillance.

Cocobolo lumber is pretty rare, but keep in mind it isn't even that important.
All the schematics unlocked use tons of Pure Titanium Ore and Cryptomeria Logs, which drop in the same sectors and need just as high surveillance. You should instead be targeting these, as you will get plenty of Cocobolo on the way to getting enough for even one set of new submarine parts.

Rimilala Shelf - Kamacite Ore

I did over 8 runs in that place and haven't found any. Could you please post your Submersible parameters?

[SolidsnakeMgs5]

Even with CSSS build sometimes it brings back junk, you can have really bad RNG, it took a month to unlock one sector before, the last 10 days, all of my subs pretty much brought back nothing worth of value, before that it was tons of loot.

[Belgarion]

wich sectors have the best drop rate on the lumbers

wich sectors have the best drop rate on the lumbers

None. Lumber drop rate sucks on all sectors that can drop it.

What kind of stats do I need for the Ruby Boule and Antique Vessels?

Been sending subs for trips that include Catacombs of Father nonstop and got nada.
