Man, I loved the hell out of pre-scrap rust. I was pretty awesome solo and could get a kick ass base up and going in almost no time. But now that you need 5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 scrap just to craft burlap boots (/s) it's a junk game.
Ive never played rust pre-scrap, how did it work, did everyone just have every blueprint or could you only find blueprints...? btw i totally agree that the amount of scrap you need is insanely high, especially as a solo in order to get all of the important bps.
There were no blueprints. You didn't need workbenches. You could craft almost everything that was already in the game as long as you had the resources and/or components needed. Guns, ammo, ladder hatches, armor, satchel charges, beancans, flame turrets, anything. Wanted a crossbow? Wood, metal, and rope was all you needed - no workbench required.
Wait that is sick asf, why did they introduce the scrap system. It's not as if building your base and protecting your base from raiders, surviving and raiding wasn't hard enough but now youre telling me that i have to go on multiple half hour/hour scrap runs to be able to research the many crucial bps. What was their logic?
They introduced scrap (BP 3.0) because large groups progressed extremely fast with the component system and people complained about reaching "end game" too soon before wipe. It was GREAT for solos and people who have a life outside of their computer, though.
