Alright, first thing first. i've been playing since day one of rust. i've taken breaks as needed. This scrap system..... in my opinion needs to be removed. it just seems so tedious because you have to get scraps AND blueprints. which is just insane because if i find an item, i have to research it. which in most cases cost an arm and a leg worth of scraps. I honestly found the leveling system to be pretty solid. i just hate that finding items is based down to luck and to even be able to use that item i need to research it if i want to keep using it. i think workbenches should unlock their tier worth of items if anything
I completely agree , I have also been playing Rust since the early access release and throughout all the phases the crafting/research system has gone through this is personally my least favorite. It hinders casual players from reaching more end game content unless they consistently grind and play on the same server every wipe but it also deters new players from playing the second or third wipe of a server because all the other players have an advantage if they already unlocked blueprints wipes before. The fact that you have to get 1250 scrap for a level 3 workbench , find the item , and then use at least another 250 scrap to research it is kinda crazy to me. Don't even get me started on if it's an item that's made up of other unlockable craftable items because then you have to go find that and research that too! I agree that workbenches should unlock there tier worth of items and then you can research the items to fully- unlock the crafting rather then having to go hunt for it for hours.
Did you guys literally just make this thread and planned ahead to agree with each other? Well... Don't see why not really... Still...
In any case: If you dislike the grinding get a group, if you cant find a group, find a modded server, one which serves your needs, at least for now. FP releases major updates every first Thursday of the month (basically really recently. 4 days ago.) and even if FP meant to change the scrap system, it would only be next month. Now, when it comes to reality, a lot of people are satisfied with the scrap system, including myself, even if costs are big (Hence why I play modded), but the worst part for you guys is: I doubt they will ever change it again, at least in the foreseeable future, unless it had HUGE negative reviews, and more than half of the population needed to be pissed. Why? Well FP moved on to their next projects, they can't go back and change the system AGAIN. Not worth it, not to make you two happy... The roadmap is set and their putting their work there, not an old system.
Instead of scrap make it components needed, place the required components to make the item in the bench, it makes the item! This whole idea I need to farm hours and hours and hours of scrap to learn how to make an item then go farm the components see retarded to me!
BPs should be already there per bench, then you have to farm components or trade for them, making people more useful. How many times have we scrapped ALL our farmed components just to get enough scrap to learn the item we want then need all those same goddamned components again!
AAAAAH spooking me with all the words. truly though i did get used to it and now i don't have many issues with it lmfao
The scrap system is fairly easy. If people spent less time complaining and more time figuring out how to work it, they'd be much better off.
