    I've found many structures on many planets but I never understood why every time I open a chest I find a piece of copper in the X Sector when there's a huge vein under me. I understand their still in Beta, but I think there should be much more loot in giant towns, labs, & prisons. Especially for huge towns that are surprising rare. The only use I found towns & labs for is the pixels from the guards & the citizens. I think the structures should be worked on most in the future updates because I think the towns & labs should be a better advantage for you.

    Thanks :)

    Yeah you would hope that there would be plenty of things to plunder from towns and villages just like our own. I could walk into a neighbours house and leave with thousands of GBP in lets call it 'merchandise soon' or 'ex belongings' and it isn't even that hard, handfuls of neat stuff. I honestly just find it a bit lackluster at the moment, I agree with you and hopefully they will improve on that.

    Raybrandt Jackpot!

    You know the only reason you can loot villages now is because not everything is set up NPC wise, right?

    Also, why would you slaughter a town looking for pixels or loot? Just go find a dungeon or something. Not every NPC who exists is rich.

    Dungeons don't have much loot either.

    The loot in Towns is Ok and since they will send the guards after us in the future it doesn't matter anyway in my opinion. Now Dungeons on the other hand... Some are ok already (Glitch Castles for example) other have next to nothing nice (except the furniture. And the blocks they are build from.) like the Pyramid-Labs or Floran Dungeons. I think every dungeon should have at least one special Item. Like a bit of Vanity Clothing (like the Lab-Coats in Apex Labs), a good weapon or a unique furniture trophy to decorate your home.

    Yes, Yes they do. It's quite disappointing to raid a town and not find diddly squat good in that town. Especially when it's a fairly large town/city.

    This bothers me.

    I wish towns to be safezones and attention worthy vendor hubs, not loot collection... things. Honestly, I'm not into improving loot in the towns, unless they implement something with super precious loot that you can take, but at expense of turning them hostile.

    Dungeons need way more and/or better loot so I don't feel like I should go around annihilating villages in order to get something potentially worthwhile. More often than not I'll get a better weapon from a village guard than any of the dungeons I go to in that sector.

    Agreed, dungeons and other hostile-infested locations are the best places for fine loot.

    I believe chest loot is almost completely random and most items are just placeholders. Just hold your horsies! :D

    I like to build and decorate, so towns are always full of stuff I like.
