Ideas for EU Scourge

[THEKRAKEN]

I love the server a lot and definitely looking forward to next wipe , lots of great people to talk to and play with and there's some things that would be fun to see in game as well as some things being removed, especially when it comes to lagging the server. 

MODS 

1. Grid Power Mod by Nikedemos - This would remove the need to build Wind Turbines which lag the server. (https://lone.design/product/grid-power-rust-plugin/)

2. Water Bases Mod by Nikedemos - Would be fun to see bases being built on water for those who want to, and could also lower the number of bases being built on land which means less lag when flying around in helis. (https://lone.design/product/water-bases-rust-plugin/)

3. Convoy Mod by Adem - This would add convoys with locked crates being escorted by NPCs, which would give the players a little more something to do than just doing monuments and helis. (https://lone.design/product/convoy-rust-plugin/)

4. Jetpack Mod by Adem - Definitely a good and fun way to get around the map as well as lots of funny moments can happen. (https://lone.design/product/jetpack/)

5. Biplane Mod by Adem - This already sounds like a recipe for disaster but man would it be fun to fly around in planes and maybe.... crash every now and then xD (https://lone.design/product/biplane/)

6. Bear Ride Mod by Mercury - It would be pretty hilarious riding bears. (https://lone.design/product/iqbearride/)

7. Simple Splitter Mod by Shady14u - Makes it really easy to split things evenly when putting it in a fire, BBQ, furnace... etc. (https://lone.design/product/simple-splitter-rust-plugin/)

8. IQFestivalEvents Mod by Mercury - This can add in-game events that can give the players a little extra more fun things to do. (https://lone.design/product/iqfestivalevents/)

9. Meteor Event Mod by ThePitereq - An event that can be triggered so that players can get materials from those meteors. It would be fun to see it happen as well. (https://lone.design/product/meteor-event/)

10. Airfield Drops Mod by FastBurst - Cargo planes dropping loot on the airfield for players to gather. (https://lone.design/product/airfield-drops/)

11. DroneTaxi by Cameron - Calling a Rust Uber when having no vehicle to use. (https://lone.design/product/drone-taxi-rust-uber/)

CHANGES

1. Removing the Wind Turbines because they create a lot of lag.

2. Being able to find high powered generators from difficult monuments.

3. Removing the Vending Machines because it creates a lot of lag when opening the map, and they're kind of useless when having the trading system implemented, which just by having the P2P trading, it can increase player co-operation as well as help newbies become friends or co-operate with others. Within couple of weeks before wipe there's already a lot of vending machines that no one really uses. They should only be at outposts. 

4. Automatically removing players and bases that haven't played in at least a week unless specified in the discord server that they're on a break. 

5. Being able to get building resources back if it's destroyed with a salvaged hammer.

6. Twig bases being removed within a week of it being to lower the lag on the server.

These are just some of the things i can think of from the top of my head that I believe it would make the server even better and more fun. Let me know what you all think.

Respectfully, a lot of these mods serve only for vanity and will not add much more than a "oh that's neat" effect that will be short lived. Convoy, however, is something we discussed but there is no official response whether or not we'll develop our own or not.

As for the changes, I just don't see that falling under the direction we're going. A lot of reactive solutions to a problem we're trying to be proactive with. We appreciate the feedback nonetheless.

I get what you're trying to say but as of right now there definitely needs for other things to be added because people only play on the server for half the wipe then they give up until wipe happens again because they've already done everything. Even if it's not the mods/plugins that i've mentioned, i feel like this server needs some mods/plugins to be added that should make it way more different than other PvE servers.

For example, an area where people can build their own custom raidable bases, quests, easter bunny egg mod, defendable bases (zombies), Police mod (roleplay), SalesBots (where u can create NPCs to sell different things, this would be amazing for roleplay), Boss Monster, Junkyard Events, Power Plant Events, Satellite Dish Events, Water Events, Harbor Events, Air Events (all of those mods would add extra things for people to do that keeps them playing) and i'm sure there's hundreds of other mods that are just as good as these.

Grid power seems pretty cool but I’m guessing you’d have to build along the road to plug in to telephone poles or something

I think we do need some sort of challenges as stated above. I love doing the scavenger hunt as this gives me something to aim for and to complete within a time limit.  I now play solo, because my partner (my personal heli driver) won't play as much on here due to the lag and I don't fly but I do like the zip lines. I wish there were more around the map so I can get to all monuments. Even just little added events help keep the boredom away.  Because you can only build a big base so big. Just looked into Convoy mod/plugin and it looks good, I think it  would bring everyone who is playing on the server at that time to come together and battle it out.
