I think he built the castle on a modded server.
Never in a thousand years did a solo player built such a base on a vanilla server, with 57k stone a day that base must have been huge.
he should specify that he is complaining about upkeep on a modded server then... (and take it up with the server owner)
until then I assume everything that is posted is vanilla (again - unless otherwise specified), and building a 57k upkeep/day base on a vanilla solo is dumb.
I hope he learns his lesson.
Forget it, maybe I couldn't specify my point but in the end it doesn't matter because I agree with this feature. And yes from my point of view what you said has nothing to do with what I meant. And no I usually build the bearclaw base.
My server has upkeep turned off, help us populate!

The irony is that nobody wants to play with upkeep off (well maybe a very small % of people), yet everyone likes to cry about it...
oh the Millennial Snowflake generation...
They made it to prevent lag but i really don't see any difference with the gameplay also i still see massive zergs doing bases that probably cost 30k stone per day (i play on eu medium)
It's due to the Participation Trophies. Rust is their first time they learned what loss really was. Even if it's meerly losing some pixels. Only those who relish the challenge, and can handle the punishment tend to stick around. I got fucked so many times I wonder how I'm still playing. TBH I SUCK at PVP. Even after 3k hours. It's just not my cup of tea.being a base builder is my thing.

these 2 hackers rocket raided me this morning... 2nd time in the last 4 days...
Im seriously done with official servers.... and for the 1st time in my 1000ish hours Im questioning if I should just quit Rust and get a refund for all the fun that gets ruined (and dont get me wrong - the game itself, the game engine, the graphics, the balance, the build system - its really good and amazing and fun!) by hackers...
Any suggestions? I cant find a community server thats just like vanilla...(population wise that is, most community are low pop )
I usually stick to Rustified, or rusty Moose. I've heard Rumors that those servers are terrible. but I haven't experienced any foul play by the server admins. Haven't had many issues with cheaters there.
I tried Rustafied Long for the first time this month (at wipe) and the queue was terrible. By Sunday (4 days into wipe) I bought a $10 VIP (they were all sold out before that) and saw bases already with t3 WBs and stone walls + stone gates.
Then there were people headshotting me with p2s (p2's cuz the meta changed and they became cheaper I suppose). We also saw a clan controlling like 5 bases over a span of 10 quadrants, who kept on griefing us and not letting us build/progress...
I loeved officials as the biggest clan there that I've seen is usually around 5-6 man, but from what I've been hearing there are even 10-16 man clans on Rustafied?!? I dont see a point in playin that as a duo(trio) as you'll get an easy offline Raid and gg...
(altho I am willing to give Rustafied another chance perhaps, I did like the
Eu medium,Eu long and eu main are probably the hardest servers because there are those zergs just do whatever they wish to do. There was few clans on eu medium this wipe (biggest one was 20 guys lol) but still somehow we were able to fight back and by outplaying the enemy we 2v6d them at a chinook crate.
And about rustafied staff...some of them are very friendly and professional in communicating but there are examples where they just literally don't give a fuck about their players.

REMOVE STUPID UPKEEP
the ppkeep works fine, it's the cost that needs tweaking. If they increase the number of blocks before the %tax increases that would be a good start, Removing it is just stupid cause then you got crap everywhere that clutters the map for the next month. No thanks. The old decay system was. Okay. Not good but it worked... kinda. This keeps the map from being littered with junk for all eternity.
I am not a fan of upkeep. Two reasons. I am a dad of three kids. I like to log in once a day but its more like once every two.
Previously i made castle bases solo as thats what i liked to do. But whilst i miss making weird monstrosities, thats not my main beef with upkeep.
The bases are alot smaller and are about say 4 doors to the TC. Not hard to raid and thats ok. But when they nuke my TC and erase my base with the tier 2 or god forbid t3 work bench and everything well then thats my wipe done.
Take the gear, despawn the stuff, it doesnt matter. But erasing bases just to be spiteful kills servers.
Currently i have found a zombie server that protects TCs and that really works for me. Just have to make sure to have a high qual floor below the TC...
TL;DR there are modded/vanilla servers for everyones upkeep tastes and thats a good thing.
yeah upkeep is bad
boost upkeep to scale down buildings with nerfing explosives availability
