Exchange caps for bullion
I know I can get 300 bullion for 6000 caps at Wayward. But that 6000 is recovered in less than a week and it is hard to find anything to buy. Some private vendors have items for a few thousand caps and I buy them just to spend caps. I am not going to waste caps on a plan for a park bench but I will buy an interesting looking weapon.

Wish there there were more places to get bullion for caps.

You have to exchange legendary items for script, which you trade at Iron Pick for legendary modules, which allow you to put those effects on weapons. OR, you can buy mystery picks Ranged, Melee, or Armor.
You get more gold for doing daily events at the overseer's home, foundation, and the space station there are two. That you can exchange for gold bullion. You use that in the enclave gold silo to purchase weapons and armor. Secret Service Armor is the best and that is where you get the plans. The other vendors have some plans, and when you complete missions, they have more that show up in their inventory. Complete the Wayward mission and get access to the Enclave to open all that up. Minerva also sells plans for a discount gold price, you can find the schedule online, but usually right outside the major hubs, even at the Whitespring Resort now.

The most bullion you can get per day is 400, I usually average about 200-250. Once a week I can get 300 at Wayward. Those are the limitations. I like to keep the number of caps I have to around 30,000, that way my Aristocrat weapons do max damage. But by the end of 3 hours playing, that is approaching 40,000. So I have to look for a player vendor that is selling something at an inflated price to buy. I would rather buy bullion.

they need to remove the 40k cap. no other game does this. WOW, LOTRO, ESO all have no cap on how much money you can have. yet people come back every day and play. Also no other game has 3 types of currency. ESO you can buy everything in game with gold. you want Crowns to spend in the crown store, you can buy them from other players with gold. WOW, also everything with 1 currency, LOTRO also 1 currency. why the devs thought 3 types were a good idea.

Yeah, there's a cap on all of them, including the previously mentioned.
That said, you certainly feel it more in F76, much like SWTOR if a free-player. They don''t seem as reasonable as the others.

I think putting a cap on these things is "unfun", but it does push players to spend instead of just sitting on it. So if that was the intent then it's working.
