Does anyone else find the recipes are too expensive?

The Phasmo-Encapsulator seems a bit too expensive considering you have to craft 7 of them. Like don't get me wrong it's not a super huge deal to have to kill him this much but there's already so enough crafts that use shards + a crown for every player in the game that very likely wants one, why also have a craft that only really seems useful for the sake of progression in this quest instead of just pure brilliance or something that you don't need to kill a boss multiple times to get.

The substrate extrapolator is less of a huge deal, it's not that expensive, maybe instead of cut stone it could just be 1 or 2 rocks, which is not that much cheaper and I wouldn't complain if it stayed the same but it's something to think about.

use mimic

Perhaps I don't understand what you meant by this, but I went and tried to get a mimic to copy a crown so i could deconstruct it, the mimic simply refused to copy the crown (it copied other things just fine). If this is what you meant by use the mimic, are you sure it actually works?

If there is actually a reliable way to dupe shards without killing CC repeatedly then this is not as huge an issue, but from what I can tell there's none.
there should be more ways to get shards though since the list of things that you would want to use them for is getting high now, enough to the point where 1 player would want to kill CC around 2-3 times on average to get all the new stuff and that number only grows for every player who wants crowns and items/mushlights for decorating.
I hope the new boss drops a couple of shards, in my opinion I think some of the mutated bosses could benefit from this too, maybe only like a 50% or 25% chance to drop one or something, wouldn't solve the issue but would make it ever so slightly less grindy.

oh, i see you meant mimic the encapsulator. Feels more like an unintentional oversight but if it stays in the game then that's certainly a way to avoid having to craft 7 of these.

Was thinking the same is quite expensive. Yeah is end game content but even for solo is a big deal facing cc 2 or 3 times, not cus is hard to do it but is quite tedious.
maybe the recipe should be change using the lunar side items (pure brilliance or the husks) instead of a crown shard, or reduce it a bit needing maybe 3 encapsulators would be fair.

Or maybe use the horizon expander (scrapy werepig drop) idk.

I'm surprised they didn't give scrappy some extra reason to exist this update.

Фазмо-капсулятор кажется слишком дорогим, учитывая, что вам нужно создать 7 таких устройств. Не поймите меня неправильно, это не так уж и страшно, что приходится убивать его так часто, но в игре уже достаточно предметов, для создания которых нужны осколки + корона, и каждый игрок, скорее всего, хочет получить такой предмет. Зачем же создавать предмет, который кажется полезным только для продвижения в этом квесте, а не просто ради красоты или чего-то, за что не нужно убивать босса несколько раз?

Экстраполятор подложки не так уж важен, он не такой дорогой, может быть, вместо обработанного камня можно использовать 1 или 2 камня, что не намного дешевле, и я бы не стал жаловаться, если бы всё осталось как есть, но об этом стоит подумать.

It's much better than if they decided to add this item to the crafting.
