All you have to do is spend the first few minutes of each level scavenging, opening loot containers, and harvesting wood/stone/steel from only the largest of sources. I'm always at/near 999 of each. Looting all containers yields plenty for weapon crafting, and there Re actually too many schematics -- if you only keep orange & purple with no blues as backup, you're hurting your own options.
Ammo crafting is THE best I've ever seen in any game -- you just hold down the reload button, and clips automatically keep crafting until you let go!
Only really bad bugs on console have been around playing with friends, but it looks like patches are inbound today. Saw bug avoidance for "don't use homebase storage yet or your stuff disappears," prob patched today too.
@esqueejy: Watch the demo. When I saw the E3 livestream, I was like "oh wow -- it's going to switch to team melee combat when they board this... oh. eww. It was just an automated animation."
Same for collecting treasure. It has all the manual intervention and pirate-y-ness of Mario stepping on a mushroom.
