Doest anyone have any problems with the rust ingame?

Trying to get rust but the nail just dissapears and i dont see anything on the ground...

It usually drops near where the nail's head were. The item is incredibly flat and a dark colour which makes it hard to spot

I found out what my problem is... things sometimes get stuck halfway into the ground so i cant see them, so i have to look really carefully to get the items... If i can get them that is

Damn rust shards feel like they actively want to run away unless the ground is perfectly flat. Each node drops about 3 or 4 shards but usually, if there's even the slightest slope, one will more or less stay there while the others may fall even several centimeters away. Needless to say, if you're trying to farm on a high peak such as the wheelbarrow, you're screwed.

To make things worse, if it's dark and you're using a source of light like the firefly helmet, those shards turn to a very bright shade and become almost indistinguishable from the ground, and they are so flat that they barely cast any shadow, so they merge with the background debris like nothing else.

TLDR yes, rust shards are sneaky little b****es.

Honestly farming rust is difficult depending on the place.

I've had the best luck with finding my rust shards by building a Grass Floor under the nails/rakes first. build half walls around the edges to capture them.
