I just can't understand the way that currency is implemented. I just crafted 50 exos just to recycle them with the "Research Kit" to obtain enough "Research Notes" for my leggy. I mean, if I can craft it, it might be because I already know everything about it 😉 ...
Anyhow, this is poorly implemented right now. I would be more happy if we could recycle equipment dropped/obtain (unindentified or not). Chance to obtain some would be raised by the rarity with rare being the only one with a guaranteed 1 Research Note. Lower rarity with either 1 or junk/jade sliver and less probability going lower. That way we would be able to get some over time if only for the Specialization collection that require 400 of them ! And we would have to choose between selling them for gold, salvaging them for Mat or taking chances to get Research Notes. Pretty sure it would not break the economy but it would make them usable at least.
And why is the food salvageable, we already have the Portable Composter for those.
Anyhow, what do you think?
