garry pls fix the wood gather rates - Rust

Farming Wood is very annoying because the gather rates are so fucking small. This gather rates would be better: Stone: 15 Stone hatchet: 25 Hatchet: 40 Salvaged Axe: 75

gather rates cool no need change

I find the wood gather rate ok; maybe a slight increase would be good, but it is far from the game's biggest issue currently. The salvaged axe should be buffed though. Make it better than the hatchet to at least justify the insane cost difference.

nubs salvaged items sucks! they fast yes kinda gather sucks health sucks just made so if u dont know hatchet u make it its named SALVAGED

WOW SO MUCH GUYS LIKE NONSTOP GRINDING

And trust me, even with those levels wood can be annoying as hell ( especially if you are running vanilla furnaces and upgrading to armored ).

The salvaged axe and salvaged ice pick are currently pointless unless you don't have the hatchet and pick axe. Their cost is absolutely ludicrous, their durability is stupidly low, and while you harvest a node or tree faster with them, you get significantly less material per tree or node. If I come up to a sulfur node, it's not necessarily about how fast I can harvest it. I want my full 300 units of sulfur ore out of it, not less. Ditto for trees. I don't care about chopping them faster or getting more per swing. I want as much wood as I can out of that tree, not less. And I want all the ore I can get out of a node If they were faster at gathering, gave you the same amount of materials, AND had better durability (even just a bit more), then perhaps the high cost of building them could be justified. At the moment, they're almost as useless as the salvaged hammer. Outside of using them as melee weapons, they're as useful as tits on a nun.

The gather speed of metall ore is very fast. But the wood gather rate is significant lower. you can gather 600 metall ore in 10s but you need 1000 wood to smelt it. I have tons of metall ore but i dont want gather 1h in the forest because chopping trees is so fucking boring.

Play on modded server then.

Add chainsaws

[QUOTE=Ajax0;48041776] but it is far from the game's biggest issue currently. .[/QUOTE] The crafting times and no workbench? :(

If you remeber back before the devs took a deliberate hiatus on balance, salvage was apex gear: better but expensive. It makes sense if you about our little ovens and what salvage gear looks like. The metal ore we find and our smelting process is crazy primitive, so that "metal" is probably bits of pig iron, mystery runoff, and Garry knows what else. It's so maleable that even newmans can work it into familiar tools shapes. Better than wood and stone, but it still wears out. Salvaged gear is scrap--but that scrap came from a modern source. Maybe rusted, maybe needs some sharpening, but still refined steel and modern alloys. So it should be mad durable. (Ideally, it'd be a whole new resource, but thus far it's been represented/placeholder'ed by simply costing more metal.)

The salvaged pickaxe gives more wood at a slower rate. The hatchet gives less wood at a faster rate. So they are almost equal. i.e. redundancy.

I honestly believe that the gather rates are perfectly fine how they are. don't like it? go play on a modded server with a higher gather rate instead of whinging to facepuch that the gather rate is too low.

Chopping trees is so fucking boring. Why dos you guys like it ?? Standing in front of a tree and left klick.

they need to add the wood piles back :PPPPP

Axe gives 28% more per hit but is exactly 28% slower.

The rates are fine to me as a solo player. I do wish that trees would last longer before they disappeared. Or grew faster. I often find myself running long distances from my base for wood because I Paul Bunyan'd every tree within a mile radius of my house.
