I noticed that the counter of resource patches on the map can take quite a while to update. It seems like the counter is first set on mouse over or otherwise triggering its visibility but then only updated until 2+ minutes have passed.
Closing and reopening the map doesn't seem to trigger an update either; saving and loading does though.

I see how this isn't the kind of info that needs high frequency updates, but several minutes seems a bit excessive, especially if it is a user requested information by moving the mouse over a resource patch.

The mouse over tooltip is updated when the mouse first goes over the resource patch and reset when the mouse leaves, or goes over a different patch. It does not live update while the mouse is held over it.

Unless there’s some other scenario you’re describing?

Ah no it's not just that the value doesn't update live but rather not update at all, even when closing and reopening the map.
edit: Switching to another planet or space platform and back doesn't trigger an update either. The delay until an update eventually does happen doesn't seem to be consistent though.

Ok, I've changed it for the next release so it will force update when entering map view.
