bug with clay deposits

[Harloff]

from time to time I have exsperienced that the deposit doesn't give any lumps when it says "you have dug a lump..." he stops digging but there is no clay to be seen anywhere. Is this lag related or what?

It is an issue that was brought up yesterday in another thread that dealt with deposits. Dorganath is going to be changing it (if he hasn't already) to where you will always get at least one from a deposit.

Hasn't been changed yet, Leanthar, but what I think he's referring to is when the game tells you that you dug up a lump of clay but then don't actually receive it in your inventory....which I think can be due to lag.  I've seen it on clay and mineral deposits when things were extra slow, but it was rare in my observation.

This happens in the rare case where someone enters or exits the area triggering the cleanup script in the fraction of a second after the clay/sand/mineral/ore is spawned on the ground but before you pick it up.

Unless there is another cause I'm unaware of, this is pretty rare, though quite confusing untill you see the person that entered run by hehe.
