1. SImply play out the mission using the provided mission seed shown in the screenshot.
2. Without cheating, find all 250 Morkite with your own eyes, legit. Good luck.

Explanation

Not enough Morkite is spawning on Hollow Bough, or the Morkite is too hidden in such a way that the map becomes too frustrating to play. After years of playing this game, I actually had to abort the mission because of the sheer frustration of not finding enough Morkite after nearly 2 hours. I'm finding that Morkite mining missions are the least fun to play due to fundamental problems in how the mission type is designed, being the most RNG dependent out of all the mission types (the RNG in this case is the random spawn locations of the Morkite).

Morkite missions are supposed to be fairly linear with an abundance of Morkite in the last room. However, this is not the case with certain Hollow Bough caves due to their more open-ended cave structure and greater complexity than other Hoxxes areas.

You need to:

1. Spawn more Morkite in Hollow Bough caves to match the spawn rate of the other Hoxxes areas.
2. Make the Morkite more accessible. Because Morkite is a mission requirement, it should NEVER be located high up on walls or ceilings, nor should it be hidden behind any obstacles. Instead, all Morkite should either be located on the ground or on a wall. Any Morkite located on a wall should be a maximum height of 5m from the ground.

Do these two things to reduce the frustration of Morkite mining mission on Hollow Bough because this mission type is starting to feel more like a ridiculous chore than actual fun gameplay.
