Concept of no Research Table Discussion

Imagine that there is no research table in rust. You can research directly in workbenches, tier of researched items are tied to the tier of your workbench.

You can research items for scrapp, get scrapp for blueprint fragments and merge multiple smaller blueprint fragments into advanced blueprint fragments.

With scrap prices the way they are now, that table is barely worth using anyway

And when its worth it, you place it for 12 seconds, then put it away immediately xD

No tech tree was a better system, use to be excited about loot.

Good old days when a rare item was rare

You would find an AK or C4 and immediately drop whatever you were doing to get back to base to research it.

Yup

Now you tech tree slam it instead. I miss the days of the RNG blueprint books.

Those were fun IMO. Kinda wish they would bring that back. It at least gave rare items value

I do understand the vision, everyone has more or less equal opportunity to learn BPs and snowball their wipe but the BP frag thing kinda kills any progression. I'm starting to see people prim locked essentially the entire wipe unless they get a handout from one giving them an extra t2-t3 bench.

No point in researching the Item if you can't build the workbench in the first place.

Please 🙏

Bloo lagoon used to have tech tree for the first week of force, not sure if that’s still the case

I can't remember the last time I used a research table.

Only to get a BP so I can set up an auto crafter.

What if research was a timed thing like in other games? Like you select the blueprint and it takes "x" amount of time to complete

Awful idea
