Can we just eliminate Shelves from the game?
Shelves should either be removed from the game or made to be some end game workbench recipe you have to unlock from a quest. Or make an upgradable log wall that has a shelf built in?
Again and again someone building shelves in the first few minutes and there's no scrap left for anything useful.
It's gotten to the point I don't pick up scrap any more, since so much gets wasted.
This morning, I was playing and it was probably going to be a bad game, but I had found a lot of fuel and upgraded the fire to level 5 pretty quickly. But no one had gotten any lumber, the workbench was still untouched, but we had a high about of scrap. Well, guess what happened? As so as the bench was upgraded, suddenly 25 shelves go up around the camp.
Last night I was in a game, where someone build a ton of shelves all round the level 4 camp's borderline. The cultist attacked and my 4 teammates all died. They were basically pinned inside their own camp, as the cultist shot arrows at them.
I like to be on the outskirts of the camp parameter picking off the cultists when they attack. But I saw the other players were basically sitting ducks, couldn't get over the shelves that walled them in. I wish I got a screenshot of it.
I know if you get rid of shelves, they'll just build rain storage sheds instead. I'm fine getting rid of those too. Replace it with a unique food storage locker you can set next to the crock pot.
