If you really want to fix that shipwright bug, can you please add a button to pay a lot of money for a lot of resources?
I get that people abusing bugs to get absurd resources isn't very good for the game overall, but there's a huge reason for that - without huge stack of resources, you can't have fair chances against other crews who have a lot of resources stacked simply because they started playing hourglass earlier than you. Thanks to december 2022 HG hotfix with floating resource barrels, crews who have success in hourglass end up stacking a lot of resources which gives them a lot of advantage because they don't have to worry about running out of resources. They can play safe, reset if necessary, etc - they have more opportunities and room for maneuvers, their mistakes aren't that costly, their win condition would often mean they just need to outlast enemy instead of overwhelming them with pressure and sinking them.
It's not really fun to spend half an hour looting outpost, forts and then still be unable to compete with a crew who has won a bunch of matches. Or just get completely unlucky and be destroyed and waste a lot of time literally in vain.
On top of that, removing a way to quickly stack resources makes a lot of people not want to queue into HG because of how long preparation takes & those who want to participate, will spend much more time doing that. That'll result into even longer queue times and smaller player count overall.
People already pay a lot of gold for resources, just let them do it legitimately.
