PC [BUG] In Multiplayer, Prismatic Shard will not drop in Skull Mines if Bomb is used.

[Zorad]

In any multiplayer game I'm in, if I'm going through the skull mines, I can find prismatic shards mining iridium nodes with my pickaxe but if I blow up the node with a bomb, it never drops. In single player games this isn't an issue. Occasionally when I bomb a node in multiplayer, a shard will instead show up where the other player is. This can be in the house, Pierre's store, anywhere on the farm, and other places. This has happened on the same day and even on the following day. Sometimes the shard will show up out of reach in the house beyond a wall where it can be seen but not collected. Other items like iridium ore, stone, or anything else always drops where I am, but it's the prismatic shards that specifically seem to be bugged.

I’m actually having the same problem I think, did you find a way to fix it? :)

I am also having this issue! I wasn't sure if I was having really bad luck with bombs or if it was pickaxe vs mining. So validating to know I'm not alone! Do either of you have mods in your game?

I'm also having this issue on multiplayer. I'm on PC and I do have mods

I saw a post on here before on xbox where they said prismatic shards would spawn on the other person's screen, though whether or not it's when they use bombs I don't know. I asked if they used bombs in the other thread. I'll update here when they respond.

Did this get resolved? I'm playing on a server as a farm hand - went through over 200 iridium nodes (using bombs 99% of the time) and haven't seen a single prismatic shard spawn (Host is usually AFK). This is the only place I've seen this reported and unless my luck is just dreadful I'm for sure seeing this bug still.
