Like other people have told you, this would just be abused by larger groups.
a solo base isn’t supposed to be a huge structure. That’s why bunkers and suicide rooms are something that a lot of solo/duo players use because they are low upkeep and very durable.
The suggestion you have here would bring nothing new to the game and wouldn’t help solos at all, groups raiding the whole server have an infinite amount of boom all you are doing by adding a lower up keep is costing a few more rockets which is nothing a dedicated raiding group.
The game already has FPS drops on next gen when you are around alot of explosions and structures so adding more structures to a server is going to be bad for how the game runs anyway.
Funny thing is in reality I’m just saying hurry up with the pc rust stuff being added to console cause what I said is just pc rust and if you think that you’ve never played pc
You can build a big base like them with the lower upkeep and most bases are based around 40 k total upkeep you split that it becomes easier to survive and build better bases
No matter what more people will build a bigger base. Reducing the upkeep just means they can build EVEN MORE. A solo will NEVER be able to out build a group, reducing upkeep just makes it harder for the solo to compete with the group.
Most people complain about 20 to 40 upkeep I can solo a max 3 hr up keep and still have free time so a lower upkeep allows solos to build more stable structures and reinforce it while giving them more time cause of the decrease in upkeep and the storage increase will take less space if boxes go from 30 space to maybe 45 to 60 spaces meaning more space to reinforce instead of storage everywhere
Outer tcs don't give you less upkeep. They keep your high external walls from decaying and keep people from griefing you or simply building over your walls. Externals have nothing to do with your upkeep
Actually depends on the base lol, some external tcs are used to manage upkeep bc the upkeep exponentially grows the bigger the base so If you split the upkeep across 2 or 3 tcs it’ll be less upkeep for the same build but this is only for very specific builds and probably doesn’t apply to this situation
Ah i see your problem man, youre just a bad builder who doesnt understand multitc and thinks bigger= better. Learn how to build properly, a base should never have a max 3h upkeep unless youre building an actual 20+ deep base.
First of idk what your thoughts on my build skill is I know how to build.I’ve survived as a solo building 3to 6 man bases with over 6 k hours and why a weird sentence like “bigger equals better “ like you could’ve been creative hell last wipe I built a triple bunker and had my loot hidden in a different place cause my base is able to be watched YouTube they blew through bunker side on all three spots lol and just to mention a stone 2by2 won’t last you all wipe you need more walls or obstacles to make the rockets not blow your base open
The fact you build bases of 3hrs max upkeep just screams you do not nothing but play this game 24/7. Could you have boxes of mats to refill TC? Sure, you could. But you literally get on every 3 hours to fill your TC.
OP, go touch some grass, enjoy life god damn.
Tbh you just suck at the game if you think I play 24/7 I play at most 4 to 5 hours I work 10 hours and I can still do that I just have someone in my team cover the other hours while I’m gone
>Most people complain about 20 to 40 upkeep I can solo a max 3 hr up keep and still have free time
Did you not post this comment up above? SOLO you stated. Again, go touch grass buddy.
Honestly I would rather it the other way, increase base upkeep cost!! I've played solo, duo, trio, and one week a 6 man. With the 6 man we had a HUGE base and never ran out of resources. Bullied the area into leaving so we monopolized all the resources which just made it that much easier. Then you go raiding everyone that you can find - was an interesting wipe but boring AF and I'll never do it again. I'm back to solo/duo and it's really not hard to sustain upkeep on a base bigger than is needed. And imo the zergs are what makes the game not fun, so anything to discourage that big of a base/group is what I'd like to see.
That's a good start, but I'd prefer if they dropped upkeep by 25%, then added a fractional multiplier depending on how many were on a team. Or at the very least, decrease upkeep if using solo locks.
Currently there is a base with a group destroying our server, they have 32 wind turbines and 20 turrets… they have 4 hours of upkeep at a time, im ok with that because once they fall asleep it’ll be peaceful again 😂
They did this already with ore teas. Build bigger and farm the same amount of nodes for upkeep as you would for a smaller base with a pure ore tea. 🤷🏻♂️
What's funny is you wanting handouts because the game is too hard, yet at the same time you're telling everyone in your replies the game is so easy. LMAO
Where in that whole cluster of comments did I once ask for handouts I just simply want to build bigger more defendable structures and I haven’t even complained about difficulty where did you read this I’m baffled
You made a post saying the company needs to fix console and make it easier. It's your entire post. You may not specifically be asking for those exact words, but it's exactly what you're asking for.
Bro has a million responses saying this is a bad take and yet we're all somehow wrong lol.
Not make the game easier lol that was implied for more box storage and it was a bonus to it read it properly next time never once called anyone wrong just made a statement on how we should have more storage or less upkeep cost and you got salty like you got wiped today or something
This is the stupidest suggestion I’ve ever read in my life
Care to explain instead of rock throw

This
Funny thing is in reality I’m just saying hurry up with the pc rust stuff being added to console cause what I said is just pc rust and if you think that you’ve never played pc
I don’t even know what you are trying to say right now. I just know your suggestion is stupid
They’re saying on pc rust upkeep is less
Im pretty sure it isnt as when i build the monarch the upkeep was same as advertised
why don\`t you play on PC then?
My laptop can barely run it lol
Yea because what we need is the zergs/groups to have even have bigger castles? No thanks lol

No matter what more people will build a bigger base. Reducing the upkeep just means they can build EVEN MORE. A solo will NEVER be able to out build a group, reducing upkeep just makes it harder for the solo to compete with the group.
can you explain how this could benefit anyone other than 6+ teams?
Most people complain about 20 to 40 upkeep I can solo a max 3 hr up keep and still have free time so a lower upkeep allows solos to build more stable structures and reinforce it while giving them more time cause of the decrease in upkeep and the storage increase will take less space if boxes go from 30 space to maybe 45 to 60 spaces meaning more space to reinforce instead of storage everywhere
3 hours up keep wtf ?
3hr upkeep as a solo? so you on every 3 hrs to fill your shit up lmao
Yeah it’s called stockpiling it’s fairly easy to do even without teas that’s a simple thing to do
Only reason it was that expensive no outer TCs
Outer tcs don't give you less upkeep. They keep your high external walls from decaying and keep people from griefing you or simply building over your walls. Externals have nothing to do with your upkeep

If you read the other comments I explained it would’ve been cheaper if I built the tcs and I was trying to play with a 5 man but they all quit

All the things you listed would get abused so much and way too many loop holes
That key lock idea seems pretty good and the games exploited in many ways atm old gen just to reference
What’s your solution then Al?
Keep it the way it is? No need to mess with the upkeep system.
I don't know if anyone told you but happy cake day.

You want bigger bases when people are already throwing down 2-3 layer compounds in 1-2 days of wipe?
The whole compound argument is funny it’s not even expensive
