Ffs garry, first you kill solo and duos with the ammount of scrap needed for bp and then you do that shitty cupboard thing which makes me farm all day and not be able to build big bases without being a farmer? PLEASE Bring back old copoments system or nerf this system OR BRING BACK THE OLD BP SYSTEM THE ONE WHO WAS ACTUALLY GOOD, Also - better soulation to the base decay problem? I think the best option is just to do like if no one with building privelage logs on for more then 3 days then his base will start to decay.
Just go to modded servers
The system is beter then ever was dont complain
ironically the original bp system with bp frags was the best, best balance
I'm pretty disappointed in the direction Rust has gone since the upkeep and decay too.
solo player here... playing on one of the higest and most vicious official servers (and vanilla, so none of that 2x or 5x bullshit) - I can get 100 scrap/run easily and able to maintain a 2x2 honeycombed base, got t2 workbench and bunch of mid-tier gear...
Learn the meta:
1) the meta of "where to build"
2) the meta of "how to build"
3) and of course the meta of PvP (gunplay)
But you will never get to roam with big boys guns by getting them on ur own or snowballing, all you can hope is too make plays with double dollar on solo full geared guy, but that wont happen. zergs have huge adventuge, by day they can roam with aks unlike smaller groups who have to farm scrap at nights and hope for guns..
I like the idea of scrap but the overall cost is ridiculous! Not that you need to, but to unlock everything you need somewhere in the region of 25k-35k scrap.
It also boils down to whether your lucky or not in getting drop items that you can research or if your lucky and gamble on the tool bench and get the item you want. There's no skill involved (besides surviving) so you just have to grind away at getting as much scrap as you can and hope you get lucky.
The new TC is great, at least you don't have to keep repairing everything every hour anymore! I haven't been able to test it but I presume you'll suffer if you have a huge base because of the limit in resources you can store in the TC. With a small base you can fill it and get 3 or 4 days of decay prevention, with a large base, a few hours??
By its basic nature, Rust will always be won with numbers hence zergs, we need a system of predation to limit their numbers
Maybe it helps if we spell it out for them... this is Rust beginning Q1 2018

This is why the game is now bad for solo and duo players.
Groups - Facepunch you are also trying to force people into groups by doing this, but there is a problem with that. The whole 18+ rating system failed big time. So you have 12 year olds creating these large zerg groups and the over 18+ players who the game is meant for, can no longer find a decent group. So those older players are left playing solo. So in a nut shell, this system which combines scrap, blueprints and components is a complete fail. The game now belongs to under age kids, who aren't even suppose to be here without a parents consent.
This is why the old blueprint system was better. Random placed barrels with random blueprints that did not need components.
You added a tank... 12 year old zergs can kill it, I can't. Because I'm forced to play solo by (see above)
Chopper incoming... 12 year old zergs can kill it, I can't. Because I'm forced to play solo by (see above again)
Seriously, your changes are cool and I do like them but they simply do not work for everyone who bought in to support your game. The system it self has major flaws as a whole.
Agree now its a game for groups
also agree but if u ever need someone to team with add my steam enrikos53 i got 1000 and some hours
As someone who always plays solo... I dont usually have an issue wiping full groups. I'm unsure what you mean by their updates killing solos and duos. But you do have to realize that entering any survival game solo (Rust, DayZ, EFT, hell even minecraft) it's going to be harder for you when it comes to gathering resources in a small map. Now if it comes down to your mentality when playing the game, you're better off finding a common enemy with other nakdes so you dont have a target on your back. If you're someone who kills everyone they see, of course it'll be more challenging because;
1: You shooting alerts anyone in your area where you are.
2: If they're your neighbors, now you have an even bigger issue.
3: Solos aren't always horrible, make friends with them and you'll have a group with multi compounds to back you up.
As a survival player, I play based on interactions and not PvP. I end up making friends with zergs and they support me with weapons and protection.
You hit the nail on the head about solo play man...Been using that playstyle since learning the game..
Of course after being killed like 1k x But persistence won the day!
I think that this system is good and do not need to change the system, but need somehow complicate the life of the clans, now the clans are still building huge fortresses and get full weapons for 1-2 days after the wiping. Then they sit on their roofs and shoot everyone for fun (fun for monkeys), it's terrible.
Besides, solo against a zerg is funny because if you manage to squad wipe them, you have all of that juicy loot to yourself and dont need to share
The BP system totally ruined rust. It would be one thing if there were plentiful loot crates, which there aren't.
Week 1) Bow and arrow
Week 2) Pistol
Week 3) Same garbage
Week 4) Uninstalled
Its not quite that bad, but its really terrible for solo/duo. I don't know why its so hard for game devs to just give the players what they want when its overwhelming popular (within reason). TL:DR 40~ hours played after a four year hiatus -- best gun I found was a broken AK. It just isn't fun.
How is it the devs fault you don't understand how the new system works?
Gather scrap, make workbenches, go to airdrops, research/experiment.
Bam, if you don't have quite a few guns by the end of 1 week you're doing something wrong.
Im a solo player. I dont have any problems with the scrap system. like said before, when you start off you dont need any components anymore. so you can just keep recycling and get scrap for everything you have until you get a good start. I kind of like the bp system actually.
and now if some asshole group tries to join the server mid wipe and try to build right next to a solo base and bully them which has happened to me a few times they will have a much harder time trying to raid you as you will be much better geared then them
