So i have been noticing the happiness of people who play rust.
two things make people unhappy.
being raided with no way to retaliate.
The rare drop rate of some items.
Here's the fix for the first problem. take out c4 and make lock picks work on doors. this way the nasty raider who has explosives and the newb without explosives no longer exist everyone has the ability for offense raiding and retaliation raiding.
really the second fix is mainly up to the server admin.
That is why on my server there is no Metal or c4. Everyone can raid and also custom loot drops for balance.
These suggestions should be left up to the server owners. I like the fact that someone has to use the very-expensive-to-make c4 to break into my base instead of just using very-easy-to-make lockpicks.
lock picks are not that cheap.
and everyone has access to them.
if we leave it up to the server owners 9/10 make the explosive drop rate supply crate only
so whoever is lucky enough to get it has a huge bonus.
this way at least everyone is equal.
Lockpicks by no means compare to what it takes to make c4. And being able to craft them from the start, with the lockpicks work on doors mechanic, will render metal buildings just as useless as wooden ones.
Keep rust as it is, let the devs handle it. That's what I think anyway.
Cue the "If you don't want to be raided, play on a PVE Server" comments....
I like that I can keep trying different configs to see what makes buildings hard to raid. My first place was raided, I rebuilt. There were multiple attempts to raid my second place but they only helped build my base up (albeit it is not as pretty as it was). Now I have been playing with metal. I would love if there was more capability to build traps, slower decaying storage rooms, mix metal and wood (metal walls, wood ceilings, etc. Traps would be awesome though. It would add the the game of cat & mouse. Currently to raid my place it would take a ton of materials (many levels with many metal doors), but it is a bit boring.
its simple people right now some people have a advantage because of the drop rates.
give everyone the same advantage it becomes a cold war everyone having their own nuke. no one attacks because they don't want to be raided. anyone who does will most likely see multiple raids by different people.
Why not just remove C4 altogether and leave grenades. No not everyone will have them from the start but you can get the recipe with a little work. Also they are not so easy to mass produce and they slow down the raid a bit instead of just blowing off a wall in one shot.
