I don't get the constant need to nerf something all the time? If you say that there is no performance uplift of whatsoever, then why change things?
You want to boost performance? Maybe limit Windmills or ban them all together. They create much more lag, when flying around.
Or maybe make it a rule to force everybody to upgrade their TWIG monstrosities by just making them decay, whether there are wood in the Tool Cupboard.
I have played here (EU Scourge) since May this year. I like the players, Admins are allright, very little toxicity. I keep to myself, run my own farm, always upgrade it at least stone, later on metal frags. I even bought VIP, because I wanted to support this community. But please stop this. Sometimes I help new or old players to get some stuff, bullets, mats or whatever.
If you want to get things under control, just limit the number of pickles you can buy from the Bandit Camp. At the time of writing this, my time is 06:40 in the morning and there is
1594018 pickles left in the bandit camp. Just lower this number to 1 million or even less and let the farmers keep farming if they like to play that way and no more "fucked up economy".
TLDR
1. Limit or ban Windmills.
2. Force players to upgrade from twig.
3. Lower the daily amount of pickles in the bandit camp.
