[@GrandpaRust]

Again my two favorite builders in the same place. You guys should do a super Build together.

[@GrandpaRust]

Also I've always done the u-shape but at the end instead of getting to the TC there's an open hole in the floor that jumps up to another double door to the second floor. And then another u-shaped to get back to the other side and then that's he see if they have to go through seven doors I think

[@Julian.Nichols]

This should be mandatory watching for all new players - I still see so many 2x2s done badly. What I really like about this video is the little survival hints and tips that you explain through the build. As a solo player with 1800 hours, I still build the Mini Frustrator sometimes (I have one right now, it's one of 3 bases). I find that experienced raiders will recognise it instantly, and know that there is no easy way in. Once they see the key lock on the front door, they can't be bothered since they know a) that I'm solo and b) exactly how many rockets they will need, and that it's likely not worth it (it isn't, if I've got boom then I use it raiding 2x2s built by people who haven't watched this video, haha!)

[@EvilWurst]

Interesting to read that according to your experience, raiders tend to avoid the Mini Frustrator. In case you made substantial upgrades to it, I'd be delighted to see a few screenshots. Feel free to join my Discord (link in description) and send them to me via pm.

Hey, safety tip for the roof, if you put the inner 4 halfwalls so one squere nas either 2 rough or 2 soft walls (not including the outsine walls). This makes it much more resistent, if raider first uses C4 or satchels to get through the roof hoping to soft-side the rest. This way he will never get all 4 without aditional explosives

Easy decision to sub. I think a lot of people are looking for these designs for easy raids, but there's so much stuff you can modify just a little bit to make it harder to identify. Really good open floorplan and storage management, and I love seeing a build that uses lockers. I feel like they're really underappreciated.

[@Draxlord101]

The only thing I would add is that if you rotate ur workbench to be facing backwards you can fit another small box under it for more loot. The same thing can be done with repair benches aswell

I recommend putting a triangle ladder hatch on the roof in between the garage door and double door. This will give you a second exit and help prevent door camping. You can also use some triangle roof pieces to give you more protection.

[@Maybe_Morgan_]

Honestly the 2x2 is such a great design but is done so badly. I saw a armoured 2x2 with no airlock and an armoured door. Camped with a DB and went deep in 10 secs. Easiest loot of my life.

[@EvilWurst]

LOL, this is hilarious!

[@Taolan8472]

Double the barrels, double the fun! DB is the superior farming tool.

[@willjohnsonjohnson]

I had something similar but it was an airlock with 2 sheet metal doors. Whole inside was open but with locked boxes, except one. It had satchels so we used them to blow up the other boxes and TC.

[@simplygaming2280]

:O why would you not have an airlock that is the most basic knowledge to have in Rust....rookies.

[@Taolan8472]

It only seems basic because you are so familiar. To someone first entering the game without any foreknowledge from guides, tutorials, or another player, they may not think about the need for it. If they primairly play on pve servers for example or at least low pop servers it may not have ever been an issue.

[@AceOfClubs1939]

Damn. It took me so long to finally finish building this base after about a week of trying, as I kept getting raided whilst it wasn't complete. Finally got it finished, and had it up for all of an hour, until a guy came and blasted through 2 walls and the double door to get into the TC room. I give up

[@triklex1360]

A superb guide for beginners! Not only you showcase the base well but also teach core building principles that will set newbies off to creating their own bases. The "F-shape" is probably more ideal for beginners as they will likely use this as their main base, making the extra storage invaluable.

[@EvilWurst]

Thanks, and yes, I agree about the F-shape

[@invextion]

I wish I had a video like this when I first started playing. Great vid EW 💎

[@SubscribersWithvideos-tl1cf]

Yo! Just wanted to let you know that your box placement in tc room isn’t space efficient for the most loot. In a 1x1 with a tc, the max boxes you are able to place is 5 large crates and 3 small crates. How you can do this is by first having the tc rotation changed to the back of tc being up against the loot room wall. You then copy the top half of your box placement design and change the bottom half. You place one large crate horizontally against the back wall and 2 large crates on the left and right facing vertically, you are then left with a gap between the 2 large crates which you had just placed. That gap is able to perfectly fit 2 small crates facing vertically. To access the tc and large crate at the back is very simple, you simply just crouch and they are easily accessible. Your bottom half of your loot room also isn’t space efficient because you are actually able to fit 2 large crates 2 barbecues and 4 small crates. To do this have the large crates in the same place where you have placed them and where the 2 small crates are next to the large boxes you can replace them with 2 barbecues facing vertically and 2 small crates beneath them. You can then place 2 small crates in between the 2 large boxes or you can do it how you did it with another barbecue and a small crate beneath it, just depends on whether your willing to spend an extra 40 metal fragments for a barbecue. Keep in mind this is no hate Evil Wurst! I’m just trying to improve with your loot storage ❤️ I absolutely love your content and keep it up 👍

[@chihun3981]

Does it get in the way of placing new garage doors?

[@SubscribersWithvideos-tl1cf]

Chihun yes the 2 large boxes underneath and the small box get in the way of placing a garage door but you can just pick them up and then replace them once you’ve placed the garage door.

[@SubscribersWithvideos-tl1cf]

Chihun or if your talking about the loot room all you need to do is pick up the 2 barbecues on the left and right not the middle one.

[@cfx115]

Cool idea! Thought I'd throw out an alternate strategy for those interested. You could also place of the loot rooms on 2 of the 3 honey comb triangles at a trade off of security. If they raid you from the roof or doors, you're better off and they still have to blow in. If you do this method, I'd recommend doing it on the honey comb on the right side of the base, with the loot rooms on the left side (this way you can prevent splash damage). You could also add a "secret loot room" INSIDE one of the loot rooms so that you have to pick up a large box to access. Odds are, they'll find it, but you can still add a double door of protection and make it +4 rockets 66% of the time on side raids. If they raid you from the correct side (33% chance if they go in by the walls, you're in a worse spot and lose a layer of honey comb plus have a door instead of a wall (-4 rockets with stone, -6 with all sheet plus another -2 rockets on the door vs. sheet wall and -4 with armored walls). That said, you can always use sheet metal to buff it up a bit. Definite tradeoff, but I like rolling the die on a the possibility of them missing the secret loot room. You could also add ANOTHER door in this room and place your TC behind a third door on a triangle.

Cool story, bro 🤣

How did he pad out a 2x2 base to 20 minutes? *Constant zero filler content tips and condensed advise quickly flow into my system* I'm impressed you taught me so much, you're both concise and completely understandable.

[@wrathfulsee3102]

I’m kinda new to the game and I’ve gotten raided so much so I’m so glad I found this video. Thanks for the help man!

[@EvilWurst]

Cheers! Please note that compared to most bases on my channel, this base is still on the weaker side. It’s best use as a starter base, not as a main base

This video is the best tutorial on building and the basics on how to play rust 5 ⭐️

[@EvilWurst]

Happy to hear you found it helpful!

[@legoladz1918]

Evil, Thank you so very much for this tutorial. Just recently got into Rust and brought into a fold of like minded gamers. I shared this build tonight and they wanted to know where I obtained info on such a superb build. Also, got you some new viewers/subs.

[@lykeas9794]

"the garage door is pretty easy to find" me: laughs in pain

[@jamesporter6288]

After the starter base vid I'm now subbed... and learning so many little tricks. And thank you for explaining why you do the things you do.. so helpful

[@viking8781]

Great video man. I really appreciate explaining damage and the why's. Helps give us noobs a little knowledge so we can do our own designs

[@villemine]

Truly impressed in the quality of this video, great job man

[@EvilWurst]

Much appreciated!

[@thomaspritchard2449]

Great vid wurst love your content and keep up the great work

[@EvilWurst]

Thank you Thomas

[@ace_mv17]

in total everything will cost 46,458 stone(including the 4k upkeep cost for 4 days), 6,050 wood(for placing foundation and items, no upkeep cost), 4806 metal frags(including 4 days upkeep and placing items), 20 high quality metal(for Tier 2, no upkeep cost), 150 scrap, 100 lowgrade(two furnaces). that took me 25 minutes in my discord chat. upkeep cost, how much it takes to craft everything is included, and placing/upgrading foundations is included here aswell.

[@jermeniahd4323]

tier 2 takes 500 scrap??

[@stonecanny1300]

Bro I’m new to rust u just made my experience so much better

[@EvilWurst]

Thank you! I still remember how confused I was in the beginning, and I made this video with people like you in mind. Welcome to the community and best of luck!

Shotgun traps in loot rooms and the triangles in airlocks also do wonders. I used a similar design and was being raided by a solo who got shot by a trap once in the first loot room. What I've been doing recently is expanding these 2x2s into small compounds with lots of turrets. It feels like Rust base design isn't about honeycombing anymore, but rather making raiders give up with lots of traps. If you put down large batteries, and have solar panels feed into them - the raiders will think all your defenses are down if they take out the solar panels. It's incredibly frustrating when that's not the case.

[@EvilWurst]

Indeed, traps can be extremely helpful in defending from raids. On the other hand, I found them largely useless against larger more organized raids, as these usually happen through walls, and the trap placement rarely foresees where the breach will be

[@oldfoolplayinggames2067]

OH HO, wanna see something amazing? That 8 man raid got stopped cold by almost only traps. The story goes like this: A cocky streamer felt like he and his group were dominating the server. So he announced who he was, told ppl to streamsnipe him and that he would dominate them anyways. So that group told him to raid them and they prepared a compound full of nightmares. This video is hillarious. Footage was taken from the raiders stream. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpK5ppmahrGSiqs Note: neither did the defenders bag in randoms nor are they bad at PVP. This was a lesson for a cocky group.

[@solobro2469]

Wow what a well put together video. Came for a base design and got a whole new strategy to basing on wipe day.

[@EvilWurst]

I am glad you found the video useful!

[@The_Pariah]

Every damn player should have to watch this video. It's not the end-all-be-all to Rust, but there's so much good advice in here. Things that take you months to learn on your own. Just a really solid, well-done video with all the bullshit trimmed out. This was an easy upvote for me. Well done, Evil Wurst.
