I do love setting traps and defending my base, not only with turrets but also with tesla traps (since seems teslas are only a way to make contents on). To build a working circuit for teslas you must spend up to 120 HQ, this means less weapons and armors to enjoy other sides of Rust.
What I suggest is to reduce the cost for somme components and/or mix these with metal fragments to balance the game more.
Maybe add copper nodes and have the electrical stuff use that, maybe each node could give 50-100 copper and each thing would take like 10 copper
