    For what it's worth, my instinct is that if it has happened it is a bug. One person posted pics of a very large find, and others apparently confirm they have found it as well, and it has been reported to support who are looking into it but didn't appear to be aware of it as a new feature, that's the story so far.

    Sweat is now used in some RT bps, the introduction of those bps came along with the opening of NI, the opening of Medusa's Head on Calypso and many other large bits in a large update that not surprisingly we are still finding errors in or things missing from that were to have been included etc, chances are some line of code that made sweat automatically a mined resource since it was included in bps just got missed or added in error, whatever. If a major change is not included in release notes, I assume bug. This would be a very hard 'nerf' to slip in unnoticed so it just isn't logical to assume that is what it is until and unless we hear different from support or NI.

    (Similarly, there is also the debate about blood moss being found in an area that is not the same type of area it spawns in on Calypso, lootable pvp. My understanding is the planet partners have no control over where or how resources spawn, they can ask MA for some specific thing but it is up to MA, so where a resource or mob spawns on one planet versus another is again, a matter for MA support if it is thought to be a problem. I don't expect all to be the same on all the planets, each needs to make it's own economy and community anyway and any trading values etc will be affected by the transport fee I would think, making it more difficult for people to manipulate the economy of one planet by hopping around to other planets that may have differences.)
