Pickaxe bonus from astromech no longer working
Hello,
I am at level 24 pickaxe and with my +8 from the astromech I would take off 40 seconds per pickaxe swing before the last couple updates. However I noticed this dropped to 30 second per pickaxe swing.
I thought maybe you all adjusted the time taken off. But to test it, I sent my Beskar BB9 that gives a +8 to the pickaxe swing to my lounge. I still only took off 30 seconds per swing. So the bonus is NOT working.
Please fix this. I invested a lot of credits to upgrade my pickaxe to level 24 and with the +8 from the astromech, it was really helping reduce the time to craft when I was actively pickaxing my station. Now the astromech as a companion is worthless. I would need to increase my pickaxe level eight times to make up for the loss of the astromechs bonus and it is already going to cost me 37.55 TRILLION credits to get it to level 25.
This is a SERIOUS bug when the bonus from the astromech is broken.
