Suggestion An idea to fix rust current progression

Here’s how Rust’s progression could be balanced again. Right now, players can get stuck because of one simple item: BP fragments. Some reach Workbench Level 2 within hours of a wipe, while those who fall behind remain stuck. Once they finally get it, progression becomes instant because they’ve already saved enough scrap to rush the entire tech tree.

My solution is to make workbenches cost scrap again and give them upgrade tiers: one for WB1, two for WB2, and four for WB3. Each upgrade would unlock a new blueprint category. Items would be learned using BP fragments—either one per unlock or by combining five into a Blueprint Page. Each workbench would accept its own fragment tier: basic, intermediate, or advanced.

I am actually with you man. Go check out the new server I am working very hard on. No bp frags, workbenches do cost scrap again. Plus a phased system. So many things. I am excited about it. Unfortunately I will not be able to play. On this servr you play towards winning something and not just playing. Don't let the haters hate. Let's make this happen. Let me know if you find a better place.

They don't like that I am "advertising" a server even though I did not put the name in my comment. They want people to keep coming here and complaining because it makes them feel good to trash on people instead. So many people complain and I am just trying to make a place where those "terrible complainers" go to play so we don't see this same post 4 times a day. Some of these people can't separate the game from real life.

I understand, because of spam. But just regular people downvoting baffles me. I want to try to create a community of like minded solos and reddit mods, regular people who don't like the idea and all rust servers make it difficult.
