If FS isn’t gonna actually fix the crafting loop, we really need some type of material exchange.
Either Diamantine → Plasteel or Weapons → materials, or whatever. I understand the lack of this feature is probably a little trick to keep the play time up, but it’s unbelievably frustrating that I have to play another 20min round just to get the 10 Plasteel I need to upgrade a new weapon.
It certainly doesn’t help that crafting cost / material acquisition isn’t balanced at all either.
Careful, they might see all this “I have mountains of diamantine and nothing to do with it” feedback and take that as a sign that they should just reduce the amount of diamantine we can get from missions.
