How I'd Build the OTHER Most Popular Starter Base: the 2x2 | Evil's Quick Tips 06

[@zahl6518]

Best Rust Informative KZbinr, learned almost everything about building from you

[@the_pitohui]

Same here :D

[@SerMattzio]

I think this is actually my favourite base full stop as a solo. Plenty of room, you can fit everything you need, it's not a cheap raid and you can extend the honeycomb and doors further too to make it even harder. I ran 4 shops out of a 2x2 last wipe and survived the whole wipe with this design :) (Also watching 20 nakeds crowd around your machine buying Eokas is hilarious)

[@lonewolf9390]

Killing 20 nakeds with an auto turret as they cluster around your vending machine to buy Eokas would be hilarious too.

[@ClydeW893]

Is this base still effective?

[@deltoid4]

I noticed something with this base after practising it a few times. The final door on the 2x2 before the triangle has to be a single door not garage door. otherwise i found (because of the shop front, people can see all the way into your first set of boxes. Which is something i would not like to advertise regardless of where your loot is, so yeah Single door for a little privacy.

[@carbon1255]

I can second this, with an RP base I had a little foyer with a sheet door and off the side a shop front with a chest I left some swap loot in like seeds a couple worms and grubs and other really useless garbage. I'd even emptied it out completely as I'd moved out at this point but someone blew in through the shop front as they could see a chest rather than if they used their eyes more they could have gone through a sheet door - but clearly too focused on a chest. I was expecting it to bait people but just through the door. They also blew into an external stone wall stable with a sheet door but went through the wall- i think they thought it wasn't connected. Very amusing. my friend put a venting machine in an external crossed with a stable and a garage door. I told him not to put anything in it as they were absolutely blowing in, instead we put two shotgun traps above the entrance. Come back to garage door missing and one half health shotgun trap left with silenced explosive ammo as I was online but a short distance away. They had got their loot back but very amusing, they never even got inside. This was all the same Russians who avoided onlining/any fight and lived in a cave.

The honeycomb triangle next to the exit can be used to store three more furnaces and then closing off with a low wall and a half wall. Love your videos btw

[@EvilWurst]

Thanks ... sounds like this might risk to lower the minimum raid cost. Low walls can be soft-side picked from both sides and the slit can be used to deal splash damage to both the low-wall/half-wall and a wall/door behind it. Which triangle exactly are you talking about?

[@the_pitohui]

If it can really be picked from both sides then we can just upgrade the low and the half wall, i think that would solve the problem. The triangle im talking about its the one in which you close with walls at 7:26

[@seraphii72]

Hey wurst, I love your videos and I rewatch them all the time, but personally I play on nodded servers with a high gathering multiplier, like 5x and 10x (mostly 10x). Therefore, upkeep and building costs are mostly a non-factor (for example from 5 minutes of farming I can build the entirety of the Phoenix 2, excluding high Qual upgrades) , which is great, but at the same time Raiders usually have a minimum of 1k explosive ammo, or sometimes they straight-up have rockets, and a lot of them. Door campers are also not really an issue for me, and I have never seen a player outside my base while I'm online that is raiding. If possible, could you try and attempt a build for 1-3 players that has a greater focus on trapping almost every inch of the place (especially if Raiders were to go through honeycomb and walls), as well as being extremely well protected; probably around the cost of raiding your aggravator, if not more so. The grand frustrator would honestly be a perfect base if it was instead meant for a smaller amount of players, and, unlike the aggravator, meant to defend against offline raids. Thanks a ton for all your builds; all of them are fantastic and the quality of your content is incredible.

[@EvilWurst]

Thanks for the kind words Building for modded servers is very difficult... every modded server has its own rules and plugins. If I build a base that works for one server, it may not work for all the others, so I rather leave my fingers off it

[@dannyparker5858]

@@EvilWurst I gotta agree with this man. A very heavily trapped large group sized base for offline raids (You could probably do some sneaky shit with electronics nowdays I'd think). One were resources are less of a concern than rockets to main loot. Vanilla rules and building mechanics, just a bit of a large base entirely based around fucking over offline raiders.

For the roof honeycomb I tend to use low walls inside the ring of half walls as they are cheaper while still adding the benefit of preventing splash damage. They also can confuse raiders trying to come in from the top as they think it's open if they check stability with a hammer.

[@EvilWurst]

Dane Jones I tested low walls a while ago, and found that firing on top of them splashes several floor tiles. Hence I stopped using them

[@michaelwills571]

if you want to make sure you dont have a camper sitting ontop of your airlock, use a floor grill for the roof, it has the same durability as a sheet metal door, you can see out of it and it can be replaced with a ladder hatch if you can find one for a shooting floor.

[@EvilWurst]

Thank you! Please note that I released a 2020 version of this base: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2nYfX13qdecj5I

[@DrCoomer_1]

Managed to make this base slightly more effective for practically nothing. The honeycomb inside the base (TC room honeycomb left of entrance) can be used as a chute up to a half height floor that can hold some boxes on top of the 1x1 double door airlock, with another chute placed on the triangle above the 2 single door airlock, (of course using garage doors) to allow access onto the roof. This upgrade only costs 1.5K stone, along with the materials for 2 garage doors, but allows for the base to be more versatile in heavier zones with action. You could of course use windows and make a real shooting floor but for that you would be better using something like the Phoenix which can also be built from a starter unit. This just provides an extra alternative solution if moving is not something viable and you need to have roof access. This also doesn't decrease the 12 rockets of protection this base has, going through the top garage door would only give raiders access to the roof honeycomb walls + maybe a few boxes. (a shotgun trap would work wonders) One last thing to note is that if you had this step in mind leaving the roof wood until you can/want to upgrade can save you some tools picking it out. I hope this helps out someone, and if anyone wants a guide on how to add this, reply and I'll make a quick vid showing how to. Cheers xx

Great job at showing how everything was built and explanations were nice as well. Thank you

[@dali1384]

If I really need to build a 2x2, I do it the same U way, it is simply the best for this setup, thank you for this good video! Since it is possible to pretty much build any base from a starter 1x2, it feels to me like a waste of time to farm for a base which I plan to abandon. Why not integrate it? Making use of every action you take till the end of the wipe. I am really missing compounds and more practical multi base designs in the Rust YT building community. I have developed this pattern which works for me best so far: I try to build a furnace base and then I spam a modular bunker base which can be upgraded with a shooting floor on top with 360 cover and roof access. Depending on my activity and needs I can have 1-6 of these modular bases which stand close like an anti grief base, but don't attempt to unite in the center to form a lousy main base in the middle because of the unavoidable slits. I believe there need to be more designs with modular and quantity - efficiency in mind - I would never go without a large furnace anymore simply because of the wood grind as an example. My furnace base: Starting with a 1x1 Square and going for a 2x3 with triangle foundations on the outside to hold the walls. 2x2 space is taken by furnace, 1x1 by refinery and the starter 1x1 for loot / tc (tc can also go behind a window on one of the triangles outside). Roof above the large furnace is 4-5 floors high to avoid floor grills and have it all stone. --- The only thing I need then is secure storage and fighting positions which in the optimal case cover each other to generate crossfire situations for the enemy. This is where spamming the modular base comes in handy. I can make as many as I need and in worst case I can easily abandon some of them without compromising too much (like if a group shrinks before wipe, ppl disappear etc). I see way too many bases which cost like 6-9k metal upkeep while providing little protection in comparison. My modular base upkeep costs like 3-5k stone, 1,4-3k metal and 19-27 HQM (depends if shooting floor is installed) and takes 1 stone, 1 metal and 1 hqm wall minimum to tc IF HQM is left out - 1 stone and 2 metal. Now I can easily spam 3 of these to basically beat every non multi tc base strategy which costs the same upkeep. I basically build for every loot room a new base, you have to literally raid an entire tiny base to get to one significant loot room... and it makes it possible to have more HQM loot rooms compared to putting them into one large base. The most efficient raid cost - way I could find for spamming is to go for 2 metal walls to tc for each loot bunker, which takes 4 windows if you hate suicide rooms. It costs me like 900 metal upkeep a day. Modular Base: It is a line of 6 squares with 4-5 windows to one dead end honeycombed TC suicide room (if HQM). It pretty much looks like a bbq chicken leg from the top. They are all aligned with their entrances to the center, you can move savely between the bases if you cover the center with external walls & turrets. One triangle with garage doors and a turret is left and right after the tc honeycomb on the 4th square foundation - covering the entrance & surroundings (and creating turret crossfire with other such bases in proximity) and acting as a honeycomb too... The windows make this base so strong, since doors need more space to achieve the same strength, which makes them ultimately way more expensive than windows. I mostly use garage doors - they are imho very hard on the upkeep if spammed. For groups above 3 people it is easy to maintain 6-12 of these modular designs and skyrocketing their raid cost into oblivion. --- I achieved this by asking myself: How can I build it to function as cheaply as possible? What is the minimum required to cheaply reproduce while fullfilling various purposes? Which things can be kept optional as an upgrade to save cost or adapt to the environment? How can the entire composition be aligned to support the great picture, the compound? Can you make it to feel like one big base instead of many small ones? (comfort of movement) How far can you abuse the splitting of upkeep to have an adaptable concept which also fits on uneven terrain or suits different alignment strategies? Which kind of elements can you come up with to serve the compound? (towers, entrances, kill zones, etc like building a castle, but each base is one element of the whole) Examples for alignment: entrance towards center area (or furnace base), entrance towards modular neighbour base, entrances and bases aligned with difficult terrain... PS: The modular base was tested during two wipes with fully upgraded shooting floor effectively on wilsonators duo server. It survived 1 offline & 2 online raids during one wipe alone. Interestingly the base was not targeted a lot, since it looked weird and people even kept asking what it supposed to be... The funniest part is, that my furnace base actually is the safest of them all if relying on the statistics - it has not been touched for like 4 months now ^^

[@EvilWurst]

Absolutely, why abandon the starter? We always keep our starter around as e.g. farming base. The reason you see no videos on compounds is because it takes a sh*tload of time to design and record them if you want to match the detail of the video above. Further, the interest seems to be pretty low. I once made a multi TC base for small groups [kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXWqn3-li7Gefdk] and it's amongst the worst-performing videos on my channel, which leaves me wondering how much interest there is Thus, I rather stick with designing and presenting the components (individual bases) of such a compound and leave it up to the community to combine them into a compound

[@dali1384]

@@EvilWurst I fully understand the work behind it, since it is already a lot of work to design the fitting elements. I didn't know that the performance of such content is worse. I wanted to point out, that there is a missing concept, which has not been shown yet: It is one base which can be rebuilt many times to form a huge base or just one time to be used as a single one - this kind of multi functionality has not beent touched. Most people build such multi base designs around a main core base, which i simply dislike. I find it impossible to counter the occuring gaps between the bases, which made me discard this strategy for good. These designs put their value into the core again, while i rather spread it out into the outer edges of the design, similar to your frustrator base design. I also tried to make each base easily to manouver, so I can jump safely between the elements while being raided. I found it hard to use completely seperated bases effectively under difficult conditions, it always kinda made me feel like these elements were disconnected or even dislocated. I wanted to be able to move safely anywhere I needed to, which is only possible, if there is a connection. Since the gaps are the biggest weakness of the base, I put my entrances into the core of my compound, which forces you to go between my compound elements. If they use the gaps for splash damage, they only blow airlocks which is not going to be so much of a trouble to me. What I could find until now are designs with the said "gap core" or a main base with some buffed external bases, which are mostly disconnected from the main and force you to expose yourself while moving between them. What I effectively do is to make buffed external tcs which point to the center with their entrances without a main base, since you dont need it, if you buff these spam bases enough. This approach has not been done yet on any video so far I could search for. The effort of making it is as big as designing one base and presenting it, since it is a repetitive component of the compound. Another point is, I don't try to protect these weak gaps, I rather put my weakest and most unimportant part of the base there and don't care if it gets splashed to hell. Maybe there is one guy up for this challenge, to design a single compound element, which can be spammed or used solo. As I said, I did it with just one element, I could have easily afforded another two, if I wanted to. My stretched out entrances are designed to form a hollow core to move between them safely or choose one of many exit points to flank. These features make a difference, but ultimately it is just one single base I am building all the time. This makes the process way easier for me. I only focus on one single design, I only remember one single design and I also move through the same design. I hope you understand me better now, otherwise I can show you if you like to know what I mean. It is as simple as sending you a fortify link. PS: I know all of your videos, I am watching you for a long time now. Trinity is disconnected, Multi TC frustrator is trying to protect gaps. For me neither is good enough to fullfill my needs for the buck. Trinity is too weak and multi tc frustrator is simply too expensive - there are as I try to explain, cheaper methods to achieve even better protection while increasing the simplicity of the design. Ultimately it is your choice to explore my recommendation. At the end it is still gonne be a simple video about a simple base which just took some more effort to design to fit into the spam strategy effectively. I am talking about abusing these possibilities to their fullest potential with basically one single design. It is comparable to a buffed version of your TC of the Trinity design. Just make it stronger, forget the core base, align and connect it properly with a "tunnel" to be able to move between the elements, thats all it takes. I repeatedly point out that it is a repetitive design, it does not need you to make a whole series about special elements. By uploading an updated version or making a different version, you completely change the entire compound with a single base. Yes, you can still spam random bases into a compound - but will it be so effective? I highly doubt it, to be honest and I am open for a discussion on this topic to be proven wrong. If our body elements do random stuff it is usually called cancer, in the end every element is designed to support the other elements. Spamming randomly without having a design which actually is made for this, is imho a waste of time. I wish you a nice evening, Evil ;)

A little tip on improving this base: You can place 1/3 high walls in place of the half walls within the roof honeycome, and on it's roof as it will limit raiders use of splash damage, and it's both cheaper in upkeep and building costs then 1/2 walls

Tbh there is an even stronger 2x2 out there with the same design but slight armoured as well. If you use PrinceVidz's stop sign chair glitch you can make the cost to raid through doors contain at least one sheet metal wall as well. Then it's just a simple matter of making the base look like a door raid is the cheapest way and it usually breaks a raider when they see the sheet metal doorway with the stop sign in the middle

Same, but if my team was asking me to start off with a 2x2, this is what I would build

[@nicolasconsens7602]

Evil Wurst huge fan of the content you have made so far but could you make a new take on a sniper tower base. Even if roof camping is toxic it is fun to look at and I feel like you can really innovate it

[@Martin_Hermann]

I saw a similar video from vice about how to build 2x2 a couple of months back. It helped me tremendously and I improved on my own design gradually. Some things I do differently: I use the upper compartment, by having the entry close to the airlock, so the raid cost from the top isn't effected and it doubles the space available. I also increased the number of doors by adding honeycomb triangles on the entry side, so there are at least 8-10 garage doors to TC and main loot square. Last I upgrade the the most important square to HQM and the rest to metal, so raidcost go up to at least 16-20 rockets. Hals und Beinbruch!

[@EvilWurst]

Yes, using the upper floors is a very good strategy. I have such a design on my roadmap. This base was meant to be a starter, so I kept it small

[@wheezy7467]

Loved the vid one sub I made myself was just adding another furnace and a campfire in the place of the bbq. Always the most amazing designs tho keep it up good luck man!!:)

[@roua3028]

I’m new to rust and I find these videos so helpful! Keep up the good work please

[@EvilWurst]

Happy to hear that .. all the Quick Tips episodes are meant to help new players get up to speed quickly!

[@lucasanderson7866]

Only thing I would do differently is use 4 roofs and 4 walls to honeycomb the roof rather than using 8 half walls and 4 ceilings. It keeps upkeep down some.

[@chasingmidnight6772]

Lucas Anderson not enough people use slanted roofs in rust. They’re good for honeycomb where the base entrance is through the first floor as well gives you a nice ramp in

perfect weekly base for duo/trio

[@stealthytrapper2328]

tip- you can fit 2 more small boxes on the tc room triangle if needed

I love these videos because it helps me get better at base defending thank you so much for doing these vids

Finest engineering at it’s german. Great design btw. Keep it up!

Thanks!

awesome ma dude, truly awesome

[@EvilWurst]

Happy you like it! Please note, there is a 2020 version of that 2x2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2nYfX13qdecj5I

[@benice2me]

How did you change the angle when you're placing a box? I have to walk around the connor and sometime it won't fit. Great video by the way

[@itzmistz]

You mean to rotate? Press R

[@Stimmungsbombe]

U cant put a double door on the Main lootroom where the tc is because the boxes are to close to the door frame it has to be a garage door which can be tricky to get sometimes otherwise this design is very good :)

[@Stimmungsbombe]

It only works in his video because he has some kind of building godmode but on a vanilla server where u are a normal player it wont work unless u have a garage door

[@EvilWurst]

It works in the video, because the issue you observe has been introduced with the latest (April 2019) update to Rust.

[@Stimmungsbombe]

@@EvilWurst oh thanks I didnt know that my bad

[@ryegrfagan6132]

I just built the base with my buddy and we ducking love it. It doesn’t even feel like a shitty ol 2x2 great design

[@EvilWurst]

Happy you like it!

[@mastercarrot4382]

Evil Wurst I never thought about making a 1x1 beforehand. I've always just farmed until I could make a terrible 2x2 with lots of wasted space lol, great video!

[@sadist8]

I like how compact it is and how your going for a modular design but you really do need an airlock from the very start to stop people going deep and double doors are substantially more expensive early game and no where near as practical.

[@EvilWurst]

It's true that double doors initially are a weakpoint and expensive early game. We usually use wooden double doors until we can afford the sheet metal ones. We prefer the late-game durability of garage doors over sheet metal single doors

[@Hipsterjes]

It’s amazing how many of your base designs I see on servers

[@alejandro6713]

Jesse Lewandowski 2x2s and 2x1s aren’t his base designs it’s been a universal starter since rust came out

[@Lavaevocool]

@@alejandro6713 tru but i see the Phoenix 2.1 all the time

[@Hipsterjes]

@@alejandro6713 Evil Wurst has many Base designs. The 2x2 and 2x1 has been used for a really long time. Of course he didn't come out with those! If you play on many popular Rust Servers, you'll see the "Das Bunker Base", "Clan Starter Base" and other popular bases Evil Wurst came out with.

[@alejandro6713]

@@Hipsterjes i dont see any of these bases and i play on fied main and east 2 and medium 3?

I love your Base Designs and all your Videos Keep up the good work 👍

[@GalaaxXy]

Once and always, informative about everything. great designer

[@slippery2815]

Loved the vid however I have found some better configurations for the internals imo. I have a design fitting 12 large boxes, 3 furnaces, 3 sleeping bags, workbench, bbq and research table.

[@EvilWurst]

Slippery yes, there are lots of configurations that fit more items. The number of boxes, however, is only one of many metrics to optimize against

[@lukashoel8242]

Is this base good for having a duo or trio

great and useful video for starting and expanding bases!

[@brandonmccloskey9803]

I am curious why you don't use the vending machine un-lootables anymore?I use your i want to say phoenix build but i have had so many players try to satchel and exp ammo raid the base to find the main loot behind the vending machine trick and give up. Just curious if there is something that makes them obsolete.

[@EvilWurst]

This video was intended to show a non-exploit base. Besides, I never used that trick with the vending machines.

[@brandonmccloskey9803]

@@EvilWurst oh. I think you should include it in Early builds then lol. Its deafault bp and cost little to make. I only watch you and Prince vidz so was a 50/50 shot

[@russ1185]

Thanks so much for these base builds. Has really helped me out.

[@EvilWurst]

That's great to hear!

[@flankana]

Have you thought about using the left triangle for dropboxes or am I being stupid

[@EvilWurst]

Isaac Dickinson I am not quite sure what you mean when you say “the left triangle”

[@evanstock9134]

That would reduce the cost of the raid as it shares the wall of the main loot. The triangle acts as one of the triangles on the outside for homeycombing

[@evanstock9134]

It might work if you made them unlootable tho

[@Max-yb1nw]

Really good base

[@smurfatron1515]

Yeah I’ve been doing the 2by 2 with a airlock and honey comb and I always laugh when a clan tries to raid me through doors and then they realize I have 3 more doors to main loot

[@EvilWurst]

Hehe

[@nfsankit]

the loot room with Tc , I can't put a garage door anymore unless I remove the box in front.

[@kandy5129]

same, either the box or the furnace

[@Cubacma08]

How do you put those 3 furnaces at 3:18. I have already spent an hour trying, but there is no way I can put the double door back in after I placed the frunaces

[@______3597]

This is a perfect solo base trying it out this wipe

[@EvilWurst]

Good luck!

[@AouniX]

What about using roofs instead of half walls/floors for the top honeycomb? Using half walls /floors cost 3000 stone, while roofs/walls cost 2400. Not significant but still, more efficiency and same protection.

[@EvilWurst]

Yes, very good suggestion! I didn't go with roofs (I would have used 8 roofs, no walls) to be able to explain how to prevent splash damage with half walls. But yes, if you don't care about splash damage, roofs are the most efficient thing to use

[@VKakaVicky]

I know its just a 2x2 and it doesent really matter, but i spend all my time on rust and after a solid few k hours of raiding and building know of a few good ways to save room in your base and still maintain high raid cost. If you want i could show you a few ways to improve a 2x2
