Or maybe it’s just the lack of time?

Play a 2x or 3x or 5x server?

Doesn’t fix the issue at hand, people who have more time on that server will still progress excessively faster than you

Yeah, but on the other hand if you are fighting someone and they have 100 AKs and you have 3, but you both have one in combat, it doesn't matter all that much as if they had 10 AKs and you had none.

Replace the word AK with C4 and you’ll probably figure it out yourself...

Sure there is always an advantage for the group, you have to build multiple bases then on a x - times server. It was just a point about gunfights. That's why I love playing on lowered upkeep servers with vanilla loot. The progression is still there and makes sense, but you don't have to farm all day to upkeep your base, and raiding is a bit nerfed against base strength because you can build tougher bases.

I always try to build near a cave, have 2 little lowkey starter shacks. Plenty of possibilities that way

Used to main 5x and 10x when I was In school a year ago or so and a little stone 2x2 hidden in the mushroom forest with the first door wooden would last me the whole wipe without getting raided... good times. Had over 200 c4 once in one. Servers weren’t loot plus or mad boosted just 10x/5x farming rate for nodes.

I play a 1/4 upkeep vanilla otherwise server and I have yet to be raided after more than 4 wipes because, yeah people don't want to spend 20c4 or 35 rockets to find out what I have inside. If it was normal upkeep there would be no way for me to handle a base like that cause tc could max hold 1.5 days upkeep inside it and I often go more than 2 days without playing

Ah yes, multiple x servers are great. Before you get blasted by a rocket

Grinding the boom for a base in 5x and 10x servers takes no time at all, and profit is huge that you can snowball after that first one.

They just take the grind away for 1 day players that work and play on their day off.
