Hello,
I would like to report a bug that I have found a while ago, but recently noticed it happening again. It is about Smeeta's Charm mod, specifically: the incorrect tag name of one of the buffs.
During a mission in Teshub void node, I noticed I have recieved a buff from my Smeeta that was labeled as "Affinity" buff. However, when I went to pick up a single Argon crystal, I got 2 instead of just 1, which means that it was in fact a "Doubled Pickups" buff. I use Smeeta's Charm a lot in resource farming, and having the buffs mislabeled really throws me off and hinders my farming efforts. Please, please look into it.
By the way, a fellow player has shared an excellent suggestion to assign a distinct icon to every type of Smeeta's buff, which would 100% solve the issue and remove ambiguity.
--- How can this bug be reproduced? Join any mission that allows pet companions to be present on the map. Bring your Smeeta Kavat with Charm mod equipped. Wait for it to give you "Affinity" buff. Go pick up a rare resource, like an Argon Crystal, Orokin Cell, Control Module, etc. Repeat it several times. You should notice that sometimes you get double resources with this "Affinity" buff, even thought it shouldn't be doint it.
What was happening before the issue started? I've noticed I was never getting the "Double Pickups" buff, only "Affinity" one. I went to investigate and found out it was wrongly labeled.
Solo, host, client? All mentioned. It happens when I'm playing solo or in a squad.
Can you share any images or a video of the bug?
Screenshots below demonstrate it, with Coprun resource as an example:
Here, I lazily and quickly mined the red node and got 6 Coprun (no boosters) while the "Affinity" buff, which was in fact Double Pickup buff, was still active.
For comparison, the minimal number of Coprun I get from mining a red node lazily is 3 (no buffs or boosters).
As of today - the time of posting this topic - the described bug still occurs.
