Since at least the hotfix, maybe the big update, discarding orange weapons no longer refunds anything but ordo dockets.
Was this a deliberate change?
While it may not hurt those of us with post-scarcity levels of currency, it is not a player friendly decision at all (and yet another unlisted change, to my knowledge).
It also removes the ability to convert melk bucks to useful resources.
I used the refund and melk conversion quite a bit when I was leveling up, mastering items, and completing builds. Now new players are not afforded these options.
This just seems like a needless change (and hopefully a bug).
follow up: i just sold a random orange transcendent pickaxe. got dockets, plasteel and diamantine for it. didn’t make a screenshot but i have plenty of stuff to sell.
the only case where i got only dockets was selling a transcendent curio.
Ok, can confirm its a visual bug. Tested on Arbites, Ogryn, and Vet with melee and ranged melk aquisitions and a hadron forged. I only see the ordos notification but other currencies do increase.
I have way too much money. I think rejects should be paying taxes, and for food and board. Protein gruel and space in an air-duct next to a plasma reactor doesn’t come free, you know.
