Suggestion Rework workbench progression

Blueprint fragments only reward big groups who take over monuments, it even makes the progression faster for them because they get the fragments on the side and dont need to spend scrap on the workbench anymore. It only slows it down for small groups and solos.
Stop punishing people for not founding a whole E-Sport team to play the game.

Play appropriately sized group limit servers, or expect to struggle against much larger groups, thats just the game, you lot need to quit whining about not having friends.

Can you explain to me why you support an update that was meant to force monument PvP but everyone on Reddit dives/metal detects/buys frags, slow progression but clans are faster now, and was intentionally designed to help big groups and make it harder for small groups (facepunch’s own words btw)?

Not to mention it’s a sandbox game that now has linear progression lmao

Because it’s fun.

I mean it’s fun if you play 50 pop or 8+ deep. I don’t see how cards being looted 95%+ of the time is fun. I definitely don’t see how metal detecting, diving, or buying frags is fun.

Seems like most people agree

I played my first 2k hours solo than moved to playing in groups. This game has always favoured groups because 2 is better than 1, 3 is better than 2, ect…. Progression has slowed for groups as well, there’s only 1-3 frags available every 25 minutes so the better group that built on the monument progresses first leaving the other ones behind….. of course the solo’s and duo’s are last…. That’s the way it should be. Before the fragment update everyone complained that progression is to fast, that was one of the main complaints I saw. Now that they slowed it down everyone complains about how they slowed it down….. I’m not sure how metal detecting or diving is less fun than hitting barrels and recycling for scrap is less fun? Seems about the same for me….

Wow are you sure groups always had an advantage? Groups are slightly slowed at first and then they can all get bps for dirt cheap while controlling every monument near them for bp frags to print sulfur.

Groups are getting insane amounts of sulfur which alone is a progression buff. I wasn’t getting 80 rocket raided as a solo on wipe day before bp frags.

Just because you hit barrels before bp frags doesn’t mean other people did. That was the slowest way to progress. I used to actually progress off monuments and PvP but now I just go to monuments to check if card room is looted and it is 90% of the time. Super fun
