Secluded shelf to summit cave missing coal?

[sierra 117]

Hey folks, I'm curious if any one else has experienced this,or if it is just  my game.

So I've been through the cave leading to the final rope climb on TWM, twice on Misery and once on Stalker.

Each time there was no coal, not a single piece.

At first i thought this was an intentional removal for misery mode, however after being there on stalker and still finding none.

I'm wondering if this is a bug or intentional change.

If it's a bug i will submit a bug report.

Coal spawning in internal caves seems to possibly be a tiny bit wonky at the moment in selected caves. In my current run I've had one single piece of coal appear in the PV-WR cave in a least a coupla in-game years, and I only found that because I made a point of taking my time to search the whole cave - precisely because I know I haven't found any there in ages - so it's likely I just hadn't spotted that piece on previous transits. On the other hand, the OIC-DP mine seems to fully respawn with 30+ coal after only a week or two of game time, and I've noticed a few exterior caves also seem to respawn a little more quickly than I'm used to, tho I haven't made any effort to carefully record anything so it's just a suspicion.

I don't think any of this is likely to be intentional, but in such a big gameworld some things are just gonna get a bit out of tune every now & then.
