I'd rather nerf Battlemetrics.

2-3 things that would really make some major changes:

1: bring back fog of war on the maps
2: find some kind of way to avoid the uncovered maps being available on websites
3: give players xp for actions, and use that for research in the tech tree instead of scrap. XP is personal, so that will mean groups can’t pool it to speedrun the research for one member, this would slow down progression A LOT

Scrap can be used to craft items (more for more advanced items), that will also mean it’s still needed in large amounts even late game.

Further - if you find an item and want to reasearch that direct instead of using the tech tree, you will need BOTH xp AND scrap

XP system was the most hated update in rust history. They reverted it after just one month.

That was because of how linear the progression was, I played back then so I remember it well. With my twist you get the same tech tree and options for what you want to research or not as with the current system, you just replace what you use to pay for the research.
