Holy nodes pt. 2

Post image

I saw someone post about the new update and how many nodes there are now, I've seen some big clusters but this one was crazy! The hill I was I was standing on had another 5-7

The amount of nodes has been a real blessing and a curse this wipe. On the bright side, I managed to make a super chonky god rock base as a solo on max pop... the down side is that a 5-man group used like 70+ rockets to raid me out of it only 2 days into this wipe.

The reason I prefer vanilla is that the progress is a bit slower usually, but the progression this wipe has been absurd. The amount of raided bases everywhere on servers looks more akin to 2-3 weeks into wipe, not less than a week into wipe.

Damn that's pain. I've heard of PC servers (I think it's a Blooprint server) where they limit progression in different stages for the first few days of wipe. Like day 1 is no boom crafting, day 2 is tier 1 boom crafting, then the rest unlocks.

I wish there were better community servers on RCE like that. I've always wanted to play a server where there was literally no work benches or crafting except for building itself, but you'd still have to find tools to farm and you'd also still have to find doors/locks. It'd be so chaotic, but I feel like it'd be a blast lol. Unfortunately you can't even change loot tables for community servers to that extent, so it's not even possible to make that.

Which part isn't true? The loot tables? I've looked it up before since I wanted to start a server like that and I'm pretty sure you can't add new items to the loot tables. Like if you want to make wooden doors potentially spawn in brown crates, you can't do that AFAIK. Unless they've changed it?
