If you were on yesterday you may have noticed the resource nodes were down. This was due to the new item restructuring going on behind-the-scenes. Under the new system, items can now have multiple conditions and are manipulatable. This means you can expect to see some more interesting tools and equipment to be released sooner or later. Items can accept per-user modifications now, meaning an item upgrade shop may be opening business around town square park later this week 
Due to the drastic changes in equipment, all equipment had to be unequip again. Please remember to re-equip your gear. A system feature has been implemented to prevent you from needing to do this again in future updates.

A new update has been pushed to resource nodes in SWI, as part of a systematic update we’re working on for SWI 5.0.
Resource nodes now use 1/4 the amount of time credits as before, the tradeoff being that they now also use Stamina Points (SP). Players recieved 1,000 SP, and regenerate 250 every 15 minutes to fully recharge within an hour. Unlike time credits, SP can be replenished aside from waiting. An array of SP replenishing items will be available soon, but for now check the vending machines 
Note that since you can potentially bring in 4x more resources per day, the loot tables (which determine what you dig up) have changed. There are a dozen new lesser value items added (aka junk items), making the higher value goods a bit more rare.
Equipment has also changed:
– Worn equipment now affects stamina instead of time credits.
– Tools still affect time credits as before
– Aggression tools use less time, but more stamina
– Precision tools use more time, but less stamina
