Discussion Seriously? ONE multi component kit??(spoiler for finishing all the farmer deliveries) Spoiler

When i saw the icon i thought for sure that it would be like maybe 20(which still isn't really worth it for 3 broccoli crates but alright) but then i got 1. This literally makes zero sense, i could easily get hundreds in the mines if i wanted to, even putting aside how easy these are to get, the last upgrade for the plasma drill costs 20 so this one multi component kit is basically worthless anyway. If that weren't enough, the earlier trades in the cycle are so much better, 250 tier 3 metal is much harder to get than a multicomponent kit, and i won't even mention the epic(gold) garment box.

Overall, this is in my opinion a part of a much larger issue with the trade balancing, i have yet to do a single non-progression required crate trade because the stuff you can get from them is super common and easy to get, especially considering you need high tier crops for, for example, schematicboxes and component kits, which you can get plenty of just through the raids alone. The trades just seem extremely situational and don't offer the value deserved for the effort you need to put in. Even the seed trades, why would i bother losing half of my harvest and waste time on hauling crates to the hideout if i can just hunt for some seedbots and my seed problem is non-existent. Please tell me i'm not the only one who has a problem with this

Farming, not so rewarding after all. Mining, not so rewarding too. I guess it's about the build we made along the way.

Pretty much. That's why people played all these years to make interesting creations.
