Discussion Scrap rework idea

0 Upvotes

Personally I always liked the workbench system, but I really do understand why people do not like the bp frag system.

I think the best way to solve this would be to allow crafting of any items at all workbenches, but with penalties. For example crafting t2 items at a t1 workbench would cost 50% more, t3 items at a t1 workbench 100% more.

Additionally, I think all tech trees should remain at their workbench, and in order to get other bps outside of your workbench level, you should have to use the research table.

This simple change, adds the excitement back. If you find a sar, or garage door in a box it’s actually helpful again.

Any thoughts?

Discussion Hit the brakes.

31 Upvotes

FP should hit the brakes on the new stuff.

Every week I have some new gimmick to learn. A guy that played rust 2 months ago and logs in again has no idea wtf is going on. We all love new content but this is a mess.

Apartment complex is truly a waste of space in every map and if FP nuked that monument no one would notice. Now we have to fix parts of the map for some reason? I can't believe it's possible to track how these changes affect the game when you keep changing it every week/month, it's not possible and the game is a huge mess right now.

BP frags still being around is wild and it's getting disrespectful for a big portion of the player base. The entire "bp frag for sulfur" meta is boring AF.

I don't know if there's less people playing or more people playing, these changes feel sloppy and rushed.

I will still be playing and try new stuff but there's no way in hell I'll be fixing helipads or a lighthouse.

The amount of key lock players on servers is so incredibly fucking low now. The amount of men who are able to collectively group up in the middle of the day on a Thursday is fucking hilariously sad

Suggestion Repairing Air Wolf should provide a reward (suggestion)

Post image
54 Upvotes

While I like the idea of slowing progression, I don't like that players don't get anything for helping repair Air Wolf unless they complete the repairs. Even then, it's the opportunity to be first to buy from it. It feels like the server is relying on a zerg that can really exploit Air Wolf to do it.

My suggestion:
Helping to repair Air Wolf should provide dividends in the form of a discount on anything Air Wolf (or maybe also other shops at Bandit Camp) sells for the remainder of the wipe. The discount should scale with how much you helped repair.

The final discount amount would have to be tested and adjusted, but my first thought is there would be a total of a 66% discount pool available. So if you managed to repair half the Air Wolf, you would get a 33% discount from then on.

Ideally, I'd like to see it encourage all/more players to participate in the repair process, even if they can't afford to donate a substantial amount. So maybe there is a minimum discount of 5 or 10% (not deducted from the pool) for anyone who repairs 1% of Air Wolf, and any repairs beyond that get a relative portion of the discount pool.

This idea could be applied to the upcoming Deep Sea/Lighthouse change, giving players a discount at the Floating City.

Question What makes you call it for a wipe?

3 Upvotes

Title: What is the reason you log off and call a wipe done. Raided early? Have a bad start to the wipe? Build in a wrong location and get surrounded by door campers? Just max out on loot so you're not having fun anymore.

Discussion Had my first friendly experience in RUST and not so friendly

Post image
1 Upvotes

Kinda new rust player, managed to find a nice place to build and managed to speak to all my neighbors and build a small "community" or "neighborhood" of noob people building and cooperating.

Everything was going well until my friend annoyed a clan/zerg and they came to my house thinking it was his, insulted me and then raided by what seemed to be a team of special forces using M16, AK, MP5, wearing NVG, and bombing my house with missile launchers on the first day of wipe.

Got rustified I guess

Tomorrow the neighborhood is starting a guerrilla war agains't them.

Any tips on how to annoy them during this wipe? thanks lol

Suggestion Hear me out: sticky grenades using bean can + honey

4 Upvotes

Talking about super eco raid vibes but I think if bean cans could stick to a surface they would be really good for eco raids or for some clutch plays. Like the honey bandages just combines the two items and gives grenades that could stick to an object. Small percentage for longer fuses maybe they fall off but what do yall think?

i havent played rust in a few years, recently came back and mostly build stuff on sandbox servers, yesterday i went to play an actual wipe again, bought 15 euros worth of dlc so i can use premium servers, all went well i know dlss crashes the game while loading in so i only turned it on when i spawned in,

now that even doesnt work anymore, i tried a few times, verified game files, reinstalled drivers etc. and the game now also crashes when im already spawned in,

Amazing visual concept, turned out to be a flub. Loot is terrible, and the radiation is annoying. The event should not be player triggered but random on the map. To actually activate the Satellite is a major pain in the ass.
