Bug Report: Thomas Richards Loot Table Broken Across Worlds (Character-State Corruption)

Hi, I’m running into a major progression‑blocking bug with Thomas Richards.

Even in a new world, he only drops a Seafood Platter, and the boss chest is always empty.
No Iron Ore ever appears, so I can’t unlock the Anvil or progress crafting.

I’ve tried:
• New world
• Full reloads
• Sailing to new regions
• Killing him multiple times
• Confirming I’m at the correct fort

The issue seems tied to my character, since it persists across worlds.

Could you please take a look or advise on a workaround?
Happy to provide screenshots or save files if needed.

Thank you.

I tested this with a second character in the same world.
The boss still drops only Seafood Platter and the chest is empty.
This confirms the issue is not tied to my character — it’s the boss loot table itself.

I'm confused, why are you expecting iron ore to spawn in his chest?

You will never find any kind of consumable resource in a chest, these all have to be farmed, and yes, by design Richards will drop a seafood platter on every kill. That's the same for everyone.

If you need iron ore, just go to an iron mine in the Foothills and mine it.
