Crafting Material looting - QOL improvement

[GiraffaGonfiabile]

This has been discussed a lot, and it is expected to see a few more of these threads to pop out now that the game is in it’s 1.0.

Listening to feedback does not imply that the feedback is always directly incorporated into the game. This in particular seems to be one of the topic on which they were the most adamant about.
There was a very extensive discussion on this about one year ago - link.

We believe that it’s important for the feel of the game loop to have enemies fairly frequently drop items that you want to take an active action to pick up, but which you don’t have to take time to inspect to work out whether it’s good for you. However there are times where it feels bad at the moment, especially when it’s just one shard, so we’re planning to have them drop slightly less frequently and in larger groups on average. We’re also planning to add more of a sink for shards you don’t want, so that it feels less futile to have picked up a shard that you aren’t planning to use and already have hundreds of.

This was one of the arguments about keeping it the way it is (among others, if you want the full picture you probably should read the thread).
