Sometime the Merms drop their items specifically in the water their houses might be built next to and constantly run at the items trying to get them, but that is not the main issue, the issue is the game crashes if I pick up specifically the shoddy axes, the one I picked up was 65% durability and I think the mod wasn't sure what the item was when it came to tool tips

the game would only crash if I hovered my mouse over the item which also normally displays tool tips as for the dropping items in the water, I'll complain to Klei
