Can confirm that this is happening for me as well. Before anyone asks, yes- I do have “Infinite Building Materials” off in Island Settings lol

Maybe upvote Separate gold from resources, so that you can have infinite building resources and finite gold if fixed, it resolves both issues.

I will also add that it does seem that uefn is checking to make sure the player has the minimum amount of gold but it just doesn’t get deducted.

So, if the item costs 100 and the player only has 90 they cannot pick up the item. But if the player has 110 gold they can get the item but they still have all 110 after getting the item.

ps. thanks Flak!

ps. there goes my power of 2 post count… maybe I should delete this reply, lol
