If anything, Eris should allow a 1 to 1 conversion from Hadium Flakes to Moldy Shards and vice versa for a small amount of glimmer. There is absolutely no reason that 1 Moldering Shard should cost an hour's worth of Treasure hunting in the Dreadnaught and it takes 20 of them to have any value.
Absurd. It feels like this was added very early on and then there was an adjustment made later and Eris was never appropriately adjusted.
The big reason this needs to fixed it is absolutely poor game design. It makes the developers seem absurd because it makes the game feel rushed and unpolished.
Fix it. Moldy shards being so cheap and easy to obtain, NOBODY is taking "advantage" of Eris' "stellar" deal.
