Tonight after the noteless patch, I was harvesting in Everfrost in that valley area in between the ice tunnel and the spider tunnel you take to Permafrost (forgive me, I'm terrible with place names). I had made one quick pass picking up the stone/ore nodes I really needed and had circled back to the beginning to clear everything so my stone/ore would pop again. I had only cleared four or five nodes near the pass (Icewail? something like that) entrance to that valley when my cat demanded my attention. I looked away from the screen and petted her for a minute (I know better than to ignore my cat!). When I looked back at the screen every node from that entire valley was gone! I wandered around the valley for a few minutes and slowly the nodes began respawning, until eventually the valley was filled again as normal. I've never seen a place that was FULL of nodes suddenly become completely empty of them in an instant. If this is something that "happens" on occasion and I've been lucky enough to miss it, then I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time. But just in case something wonky is going on with node respawning, I thought I would bring it to attention. Hopefully the devs are working on a solution to the over-abundance of bush/den nodes that get left behind! **crosses fingers**<div></div>
