so this must be a problem, why I'm loosing nails sometimes, but I think it's kinda PUBG effect, when developers creating annoying mechanics which seems to be realistic but they forgeting about other realising stuff totally ruining immersion and making world less logical. Like if something sink under water, then why we still can't dive after over a year of early access?
