The only problems I'm having at the moment is finding the last few pieces to  T5 Plasma Bolt. I'm exploring every building I come across, trying to find as many hallways as I can to get clay from vases. But while I have like double or triple the other resources needed to upgrade Plasma Bolt, I only have 2 bits of clay.

I agree. Clay and Plums are killing me and they need to be more common.  My shield takes like 16 plums to upgrade and I can't find anymore since I only have 3 town tiles on my continent.

Agree about clay, pretty sure I've not seen any for a long long time.

Also, are there plans to add the amount of drops in the future? There's obviously so many destroyable things, with 99% dropping nothing ever, will some of these things ever drop extra stuff?

Eh?

Clay is usually everywhere, at least it seems so to me anyway.   There's many different types of vases and they all drop it, and seem pretty darn common in buildings in general.

Unless this changed?

I can add more clay, but, what type of buildings should I add it in? You are aware that it only appears in hallways, and not all buildings have hallways, right?

The small 1-room shacks and sheds usually have nothing of interest in them.  Perhaps they could be used for vase storage?  Or possibly a common ending room type such as attics.

Edit:  The main problem with clay is that most hallways don't seem to spawn it and some can spawn 5 or so vases.  It's oddly inconsistent.

Cool idea, making storage sheds actually like storage sheds.
EDIT: I also like the attic room type idea.

A suprisingly easy mistake to make, expecting consistency from a random number generator. ;)

Well, I can easily add more clay, but, what I'm wondering is... are there areas that would be more beneficial to add them to than others? Or should I just add more all around?

I usually venture into the buildings in abandoned towns, because those seem to have hallways up the wazoo, but I probably only find one or two bits of clay for every 10-15 hallways I come across. Otherwise, it's just marble stands and clocks.

Ok, I've just increased the frequency of vases across pretty much all hallways everywhere.

Aw, just throw a bunch of Clay Golems at them.

I'm tempted to do a Soviet Russia joke, but then I remembered that AVWW currently does not have a region featuring buildings with Russian archetecture.

I actually like the Clay Golem idea. Heck, do this for more things. Want walnuts? Better be ready to fight some War Trees from the Time of Magic.
