Pumpjacks are back... Why ? - Rust

Hi, I read Devblog 87: [QUOTE] Pumpjacks Removed This is a big one. When you log on your existing pumpjacks will be gone. You won’t be able to craft new ones, and you won’t see any more oil craters. Sorry guys. The problem with pumpjacks is they were implemented far too early, before a tonne of other systems were in place to keep them balanced. We need more resources types, ways of transporting fuel, all sorts of things before this is a viable addition to the game. It was, in fact, the antithesis of Rust. Raiding dropped to an all time low because all you had to do was sit in your base and let the game play itself. It’s a super boring mechanic that was way overpowered. I will revisit it in the future. I’d expect something like static pumpjacks in the coming weeks before we let people place them again. [/QUOTE] The new Maps looks nice. I play on Facepunch Amsterdam and i see the Pumpjacks are back on the Radtowns but I do not understand. It's just a support for larger groups around the building their base and controlled the Pumpjack. So it's even more difficult for beginners or single player... Either for all or for no one. Greetings.

They shouldn't be able to build around it though. Its that way so everybody can have a chance at getting it, whether willingly, cunningly, or by force. If you see it operating, you can quietly wait for them to go and grab the goods. That's if you didn't have any gear.

1 public pumpjack is a major point of interest and generates action and reason to control monuments. Everyone having pumpjacks was a bad idea.

They're always balancing the game and maybe this will play better vs everyone being can craft it

General idea is just to have a place to get some extra oil if you need it

It became more complicated play alone or with a little group. The fairest is to be released for everyone. Getting even easier to recover resources in the event of raid. think of servers with small groups and not compared to a Rustopia. plz, return with pumpjack.

[QUOTE]Raiding dropped to an all time low because all you had to do was sit in your base and let the game play itself.[/QUOTE] Really? My time is spent shooting animals just to get fuel. I don't care about raiding...I just want to make an awesome base on a small populated server! I'll occasionally throw low grade into the pumpjacks and wait around or take the gamble of both the low grade and crude being stolen. Pumpjacks for all!
