I really dont mind this new system, but there should be balance between number of iron rocks and minerals rocks as now there is like 10 to 3 for iron and if you look on your fixboy you will see that to craft any ammo you need 4,5 times more gunpowder iron.
If it comes about bases I think it is on good way now. 10k for it is not so much for a group of players. After you have your own construction side you just need to consequently gather required resources, which is ok, because construction site is safe, so your effors wont go for nothing.
So now this is no about who have more monies, but who is better nolifer and lumberjack

.
Just look at us, the Street Queens. Wipe ago we had like 4 bases set in a period of two or three months and now we have 4 or 5 bases all over the world.
