Phasing out physical quarries and pumpjacks

[Sgttuggle]

my question is now I get a lvl 10 or 20 for me and my team to share how is that going to work will we have to both lvl it to 20 

[rogturtle23]

so does this mean around all the public pjs  their is going to be even more 1x1s and bases.

This is a late April fools joke right ??? , becuase if its not what a stupid idea that is then.

we should be going virtual PJ and Quarry not this joke of an idea.

 

FM your servers are becoming a joke.

This is effectively a virtual system except instead of it appearing from thin air you will go to the public PJ or Quarry level it up and the place the hopper in you base allowing you to remotely gather the output from them.

if the hoppers could be introduced across all servers that would be nice and standardise friction across said servers, perhaps also give vip's access to their perks (like the onplayer recycler) across all servers would also be a nice touch.

The /rec is disabled on Elysium as it is ment to be a harder to play server

Probably not as the hopper will be at your base once your setup and leveled no need to go back to it

I would assume you will level it up then place the hopper in your base that your team can then use

I will absolutely miss the engineering part of it. Will there be homing beacons available for the monuments?

You would need to sort that out from the remote hopper.

Kool, That's $100AUD less I'll be spending in the Rust EZ store. First, phased out benefits of VIP from Pure, now making it harder on Survival servers, where lets face it it's all about the NW. What next? 

 

[ReverseRoll]

So, one hopper is required for each quarry/pj? 6 total?
Could/would GE be added to the hopper for collecting the outputs? making it 7..

You will still have the ability to automate the PJ's and Quarry's and level them up but instead of having hundreds of them placed on the map by players you will be upgrading and using the public ones on the map  

I fail to see how this is going to make it harder as lets be honest the placement of the player owned Quarry's were a nightmare and trying to Automate them could be just as bad sometimes, If anything this is going to make Automating the Quarry's and PJ's a thing of ease, You will buy the Pj's and upgrade the public ones then using the Item from the black-market automate the PJ's and Quarry's from the comfort of your base.


The removal of the VIP perks from our Pure servers is not something that we wanted to do but with Pure been a community server the changes made to Facepunches TOS made it so the VIP perks had to be removed.

it makes 0 difference to difficulty, it makes things annoying as when your trying to process out a backpack of smokes for networth the instance decides to force reset and irradiate you....and when there is population on its tieing up monuments from being run for the monument when people are sitting at the recycler waiting for smokes to finish processing. its not difficulty its just needless friction and inconvience.

[lordnavi]

and the whole point of vip perks is paying a nominal fee to make those inconviences go away regardless of which server one is playing on.  as it reduces the friction of not needing to waste hours chopping trees to fuel furnaces and actually have time to go out and do the fun things on the server for those of us with limited time. difficulty is not the same as friction. friction is just shit that annoys the player base for no good reason. difficulty is actually the content that one goes and does after getting gear together.

the networth grinding loop has always been a lag generating monster  (its getting better with instanced stackable items)
loved playing on scourge (where most of the vip perks work) chilling with friends and running content. unfortunately due to os limitations atm can only play on elyssium, the increased mob difficulty is nice and gives reason to play the lack of vip perks working is just annoying and adds friction.

 

[lordnavi]

and the arguement of removing /rec for adding to specific server difficulty gets shot right in the foot when you still sell a recycler on the premium store for said server and still provide them as an hours played gift in the weekly reward stream.

it just feels like buying something than getting it taken away only to be told to buy it again in a different format.


 

[lordnavi]

on a less complaining note and moreso trying to be useful with feedback on the topic at hand...

perhaps a monthly subscriber package that includes a certain number of pumpjacks / quarries or the resorce equivilant of said output with a certain amount of networth. that gives people that like supporting the server to get straight into what they llike doing each month and farming the monuments / event spawns / networth spawns. 

would cut down lag considerably with less mega farms and allow potentially more stable server operator income.
