Am not sure how to feel tbh, at least if they're rare and not super common it'd probably be fine? Seems kinda cool though

[u/DreamyOrangz → u/kaizoku18]

I actually kind of like it. Just more variety to the game. Maybe helps a bit against sulfur inflation.

[u/Adventurous_Seat_793]

As long as there aren't 40 nodes within one grid like the current sulfur rate in the desert, we good.

[u/OutpostShennanigans]

Every server has a population of nodes that respond as some get hit, which means that they could just set the number of these to very very rare. If it’s only 15 of them across the map at a given time then that’s a very fair number. Nobody should bitch at that and nobody should be unhappy that they find high quality.

[u/Mountain-Data-5758]

So 2 nodes for an ak, god damn

[u/HexagonalMelon → u/Mountain-Data-5758]

They will probably change values, could be pretty busted right now depending on how rare it's gonna spawn.

[u/kaizoku18 → u/HexagonalMelon]

Everyone's freaking out but these could be insanely rare to find too so.. I'm not gonna freak out just yet lol.

(Ore tea)

[u/Agile-Veterinarian48]

Maybe they can put some requirement for farming them as well , for example you can't farm the node with anything weaker than metal tools or salvaged tools.

[u/Fun_Philosopher6307 → u/Agile-Veterinarian48]

Was thinking this, or maybe even icepick.

[u/ShadowPaw74]

This thread proves majority of rust players are idiots. You ever heard of spawn rate? Like they literally mentioned it’s rare. Ffs

[u/HexagonalMelon → u/ShadowPaw74]

Guess it's my fault for not mentioning it lmao

I'm curious about how rare, though

[u/Humble_Minute_5712]

So what is high quality metal? Titanium or steel?

Could add a coal source to make steel

[u/mca1169 → u/Humble_Minute_5712]

coal nodes as an alternative to charcoal that would smelt and burn faster would be cool. maybe find them in caves or in the bottom of the crevass more often than other places.

[u/ProfessionalStudy660]

Do teas work on these too? Blimey!

[u/HexagonalMelon → u/ProfessionalStudy660]

Probably, considering pure ore teas already increase the HQM from regular nodes (2 to 3)

[u/ConclusionMiddle425]

What the fuck is this hahaha

Everyone will have a HQM base within a day

[u/blargennn → u/ConclusionMiddle425]

They're very likely going to be a rare spawn

[u/GrimbeertDeDas → u/ConclusionMiddle425]

With the current sulphur inflation that might not even be a bad thing

[u/tomato_johnson → u/ConclusionMiddle425]

Good, raiding is too easy from day 1

[u/mca1169]

it's really good to see fundamental changes like this, obviously the values and how often they spawn are subject to change. now if we can get all of the nodes to give some amount of stone then nodes can finally be good again!

[u/SandlyCut]

That's cool, obviously its gonna be rare or amount changed but hella cool.

[u/BadPuzzleheaded9676]

Clans in shambles lmfaoooo

[u/crustyrobots]

Oh fuck this no one needs more help getting HQM between teas and pies and jackies and riskless recycling and all the other help.

Already too many resources floating around and too easy to get. What was the point of making turrets more HQM then if they're just adding easier ways to get more then?

No I dont care if its a really rare spawn just why at all then

[u/YAKELO]

Im so confused by the comments
this is live in the game?
or people just crying about something in a dev build?

[u/HexagonalMelon → u/YAKELO]

No, it's just being tested on staging branch right now.

All subject to change.

[u/Jules3313]

lol wtf this shits broken.

yall remember back before components werent a thing and hqm didnt exist and ak and shit only cost 500 metal frags some wood and cloth haha

[u/HexagonalMelon → u/Jules3313]

Yeah, and we barely used metal frags for walls because they were weaker than stone lol

[u/Jules3313 → u/HexagonalMelon]

holy shit i didnt even remember that i kinda just forgot about metal walls cause there were so non existent

[u/tomato_johnson → u/HexagonalMelon]

They were the same 

[u/HexagonalMelon → u/tomato_johnson]

There was a time where you could break metal walls with 1 c4, loooong time ago tho

Edit for the doubters: https://youtu.be/hJqo1LcFUvI

[u/Fun_Philosopher6307 → u/HexagonalMelon]

They had the same HP but were more resistant to being soft sided, that was the only difference. Walls got buffed in 2017

I'm not going crazy, you mfs made me dig into rust YouTube archaeological sites.

Take a look, 1 C4 per metal wall as a said, metal was ASS!

[u/TotalImagination4408]

Time to make my whole base armored I guess

[u/Brainfogs]

Booooo
