that tax update is just nerfing solos once again.

[AJ-ukft]

Thank you Frax for detailing exactly why I will continue my break from rust.... They are still breaking it for solo's like me.

[JustKatoh]

Perfectly, exactly what I needed, it wasn't enough the 50 man zerg was after my crappy solo base, now I can't even quickly reapair it for defenses either, amazing!

[kenscarpa]

Can someone explain to me what the whole tax idea is supposed to solve? Like others have stated this seems to just nerf solos, which us counter-productive.

[Taolan]

Tax system is the wrong way to go, and I am a massive supporter of the existence of the tech tree.

Take the advanced guns out of the frafting. Anything that requires a receiver should be required to find one in the wild and blueprint it.

Mp5 should be taken away entirely from crafting, and I say that as an Mp5 main.

[pepegaaiim]

anyone else see that whale concept art and get hit with 2015 memories.

[azztekad]

all we want is t2 cooking and the old recoil back

[LTbii]

4:00 "Road Sign armor condition is increasing" what exactly does that mean?

[Sergei-King]

This just makes it easier for zergs ONCE AGAIN. The literally only thing that'll help a poor Solo/Duo against a zerg is the MLRS timer -_- Wtf Facepunch.

[fusifase]

Rust felt more of utopian life we gonna be heading to that phase soon, didnt feel the spirit of survival like the old days

[ProfessorOfCookies]

So the tax for benches will only really affect solos and duos really, larger groups will have no issue getting the scrap for it and it wont alter their gameplay at all. WHile solos and duos are now going to have a harder time researching.

[splitcoin]

plz no taxes i cant spend more time solo farming

[peshno]

30 second restricted build on foundations is going to bee a PITA when first building a base. On upgraded foundations is one thing but Twig? Also I have to pay enough taxes in life. A workbench tax is dumb.

[DeltaRaizen]

The tax system should be based on how many players have access to the base or doors and tcs even if they dont have access to it (tc) and even they have different bases as long as they have access to the bases the tax would equal to how many players are there in the base with shared door codes and tcs doing so makes the solo players and other zergs/clans would have to put equal effort in getting the tech tree researches.

[Pogal]

Whales but still no pufferfish? Unacceptable!

[zapp]

It increasingly looks like facepunch doesn't want people to play their game.

[Rosahonung]

A workbench tax, wtf? its already the most expensive options to use a wb and we already have a kind of "tax" in the form of having to unlock a bunch of random bs in order to unlock the thing we actually need.

Nice to be able to break walls but having to stand there placing them for a million years? Whats wrong with deploying them to protect yourself during combat btw, like why did that need to get patched?

Also while twaking costs, they should decrease the cost of making a hazmat because its literally ridiculous! if you can afford to craft hazmats you no longer need to run hazmats!

[GhostMPRust]

removing the walls in under 10 minutes is nice tho

[cradyx]

People have been hating on the tech tree for years, Alistair: we've heard the players and decided not to listen.

[gnoel]

It is like Facepunch watched an AloneinTokyo video and banned every Raid protection strategies he uses. 1. Can't quickly reseal compound anymore 2. Can't smoke an area and quickly rebuild destroyed walls 3. Can't reverse grenaded walls in raid defence 4. No more offset bunkers 5. Tax on scraps (affecting mostly solo/duos) .
Next month update: "Every player name starting with ALONE and ending with TOKYO are banned from the game... "
