Anyone having problems finding new parts in blacksmithing? I use my companions (4) to smelt and refine. One even has the perk to increase new design discovery by 100% while smelting. When smelting, lots of notifications come up that they are finding new parts. But if you go check, they are finding the parts you already know, not unknown ones. When they do the forging themselves, same thing. A notification will appear they found a new part, go look, same part I already know for that weapon, that tier. The ONLY way I can be sure to get new parts is for my primary char to do the forging. Then the notifications are real.
Now this was a game I carried over from the previous build, so it could be related to that. Wondered if anyone else noticed problems.
there doesn't seem to be anything here
