Resource deeds are bad. You can't have crafting diversity when everyone on a server can equip themselves with a pile of server best resources with a few clicks.

You could have Bad Resource Deeds, hardcoded to contain only the worst possible stats available on each resource and only offer that one variant. Just one minimum stats type for each resource with minimums on each stat - a polysteel copper with max of 400 con/602 OQ and no other. A kammris iron with 421 OQ and 511 toughness. Guaranteeing just that you can get a crate of that non-spawned-yet resource, but also guaranteeing that it will be the utter worst ever, and whatever will spawn will always be better. There was an ore that Lowca needed for T21 rifles that didn't spawn for like two months. Couldn't make the damned weapons at all. But if we had Horrible Ore, we could have at least made some marginally lame rifles.

This way you preserve the value of the incoming spawns. Just have Bad Resource Deeds (tm).
