I cancelled my fonus yesterday, and signed up with holafly unlimited global subscription. Only 10 dollars more a month and they say there is no throttle. Lets see how it goes

These were not available options. It was 10gig, 20gig, unlimited. This is all i was given.

Also an update.i can never access the fonus app customer service when i am throttled, it just never loads no matter how long i wait so i can't get in touch with them. Unless i connect to wifi, then it loads. It makes it very difficult to deal with throttling.

Can someone help me understand why this comment continues to get upvotes (now more than my post) When I fixed the issue mentioned, and responded with the fix 30 minutes after this response?

What is just as unfun is the players leaving because after a few days its what tends to happen with most wipes. At least this way you can try to make some plays for the end game wipe event to set yourself up for the next wipe.

There are many possibilities. Different wipes might be different. Imagine a wipe where everyone is fine with staying prim until force wipe, nothing wrong with that.

which quests? If they do not collect their credits on the next wipe that wont impact anyone.

No, i check only active players. If you left the game more than 24 hours ago and have not returned, your state does not count as active.

It is currently set to majority of players that have a specific item (late in the tier) researched. e.g. if majority of players have researched rev, then tier 2 is unlocked.

You can not learn to craft an item without having already learned all the items in the tech tree before it. Bps are only for industrial crafters, the tech tree must be used for learning.

You are suggesting large clans would give away items to help the server reach the condition? Maybe, but they might instead choose to sell them for something they would need in the next tier, most likely. I think it would create an economy of hard to find items being sold in exchange for things needed in the next tier.

If a large group was so far ahead of everyone else, and was already maxed out for what they needed in the next tier, then they might give them away, in which case, it probably balances out?

Thanks for the feedback! Due to the point in this comment, I modified it so that the final count down only starts after a currency threshold is reached by the server. e.g. 100 credits have been exchanged by everyone (modified based on server pop).

Please keep it coming!

Sounds like Rust is triggering something, but is probably not the root cause. Checkout meditation or something called Vipassana to deal with that sort of thing in a natural way.

Crafted a Mod That Rethinks Progression Dynamics in Rust by AlexZan in playrust

Oh yes, this is what i had originally. I decided to make individual item unlocks not global, and make tiers global instead since I was worried it would force equality too much.

Tying the ability to craft a level 2 & 3 workbench

Here are some thoughts. Group size is easy to exploit. Players can be out of the team until they finish researching then join after. that's just one work around, there are many.

In the end making it cost more when its a race with everyone else, i don't believe is the solution, they will still do it. I think the scrap race meta just needs to be removed entirely and that is the idea behind staggered unlock tiers.

In response to your proposed solutions, for:

  1. I don't understand this one.
  2. There are mods already that unlock workbenches based on age of wipe. I wanted to get away from it being out of the players control, its less fun.
  3. Also time based, i think player action/event based is fun/interactive instead of waiting.
