So the devs aren't trying to make Rust fun?
please don't say "It's in alpha, shut up" because somebody is saying it isn't fun. They are offering their opinions that could reflect on the finished product. If everybody stood silent when they came across something about Rust that wasn't fun, what do you think the full game would look like?
The only time anybody should say that is if somebody is complaining about bugs, framerate, etc.
No, they're trying to make Rust work. Because it is alpha, and I'm going to say it because it's true. It's up to you to understand what the devs' priorities are right now.
Make it work, then make it fun. To make a car analogy, you're worrying about the type of varnish on the paint the car will have when it's finished, and the engine is still catching fire whenever the key's turned in the ignition and the doors are still in a factory on the other side of town.
