Best base design ever! lol when i do my new base tour vid i'll be sure to link this video cuz a lot of people ask me to show off how to build it lol. And i just dont have time with my other content. you've done it for me lol so ill point them to this video instead lol. Thanks for the demo!

[@RevBrucifer]

My pleasure! I just liked it as a foot print to go in many directions.

[@McC_Cal]

This is not only comprehensive and effective at explaining this but also quite entertaining. Perfect for someone who has no idea what a “good” layout for a base, but now since I have seen this I’m less overwhelmed. Well earned sub! Hope to see more!

[@RevBrucifer]

So glad it helped you out friend. Thank you for the kind feedback.

[@Valgard09]

in conan exiles, we solved that structural problem with 5 square foundations, one in the center and one on each side, and filled them with triangles until we had the shape we wanted. you can put 4 columns in the center and carry them all the way up. the building mechanics are almost identical. good video!

[@RevBrucifer]

I did play some Conan but not a ton. The building in this is pretty similar though you're right. Though they have added way more since this video was made! Thank you for your feedback

[@haerowenxdgaming]

Great base building!! Great explanation and I can't wait to try that build structure! Thank you RevBrucifer!!! XD

[@RevBrucifer]

Thank you I appreciate that

[@NegativeOne7337]

Everyone who plays Rust will be having a ball with base designs, similar foundations and old school spiral stairs. Awesome

[@RevBrucifer]

Not even sure if base raiding is going to be apart of game. It was not in beta. You could make a base to defend territory but bases did little to defend it was mostly down to players. But we'll see if this changes or not.

[@NegativeOne7337]

@@RevBrucifer A part of me is hoping it is, but at least after the hype of Seasonal content and new progression changes that come with the 6 weekly wipes, it's brought in eventually. Still - Awesome design - I logged on during my lunch break to make her hahaha.

[@RevBrucifer]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@deokorusu]

Great design for the most part. The only part id like to figure out how to improve would be the stair landing. Having to jump over the railing could hopefully be improved aesthetically i hope.

[@RevBrucifer]

Yea I mean you could do normal Z stairs on side or something if you wanted I imagine. Shift it around a bit.

[@deokorusu]

@@RevBrucifer True but the spiral just looks better. What i finally did was, even though the double spiral staircase looks great, I removed one side of it and just made it a single spiral to the 3rd floor.

first first, thanks mate hahaha i like it

Glad you enjoyed it friend

[@dangeloenglish4284]

Bottom of ur base should just be for defense. Don't put anything down there except traps and turrets. Use pillars, as the mobs don't seem to want to attack them.

[@RevBrucifer]

You can do this, but the sandbags are also there to prevent the mobs from just rushing in as well. The base works without any additional changes made to reinforce defense. Atleast for PVE. Obviously for PVP you could honeycomb, or if PVE defenses get harder at some point you could alter the bottom. It's really a flexible design.

[@psychxx7146]

I wonder, if we go with your idea of an empty ground floor, and mix it up with the strange door deviant; Couldn’t we just support the base with pillars, remove the stairs that go up to the second floor, and add an elevator with the strange door. Would deviants ever be able to get to the second floor, or will just they get stuck at the bottom and be butchered by the turrets?

[@dangeloenglish4284]

@psychxx7146 flying monster will start shooting at ur roofs and 2nd floor walls. They don't care about pathing. And ground enemies need some path to get to it. 2nd floor with a hole in the ceiling tends to make them group by the hole. One test is did previously and remove any ways for ground enemies to get to the machine. And they just started attacking walls. Any wall. Maybe it's intentional to break the 2nd floor, idk. But they could have changed the way ai works too. Some of the open world enemies have slightly different attack patterns. Like the "clickers" seem to grab a lot more. More enemies have head armor. We just got to lvl 3s and I plan to do some testing again, but waiting till the weekend.

[@jedjanes8471]

Thank you so much man. This was a great tutorial!

[@RevBrucifer]

You're welcome!

[@GlassDeviant]

I've used numerous variants of this design at times. You can actually start this sort of base from the center more easily, but there's a basic flaw in a base built on a hexagon (or triangles) model. Because you have a limited number of base parts due to the cap, using triangles wastes this key resource, limiting the interior space of the base overall. I'm sad about it, because I love the look and the ease of using spiral stairs inside the base instead of externally, but that's just how it is. Ofc this is assuming the concept is intended to be used in season worlds, not used solely in Eternaland.

[@RevBrucifer]

Personally I didnt run into a limit problem once I upgraded my territory, and I did decorate and flesh it out a bit. This might change as more options become available, but you do as I point out have the flexibility to cut out sections, to resize it, to scale it how you like. Honestly you don't need TONS of room in OH so far to fit in every station and item. But it really depends on you and how much you look to scale things up or spam extra facilities for speed etc etc. But it does work for all known PVE content that requires a base. How it would open up to like a base raid in PVP is less known cause that's a more specialized concept and a minority of people care about that. You could honeycomb the bottom layer and make it more like a Rust style base, which usually work on triangles and angles for more honeycombing anyway. So it can scale into a PVP platform if you really wanted I feel. But in PVP you don't include all those facilities and extras anyways its purely for defense so you'd have more building cap. TL;DR - You're right, and wrong, depending on the situation. Hopefully it least gave you some inspiration to figure your own stuff out, and I appreciate your feedback genuinely.

[@GlassDeviant]

@@RevBrucifer I guess it depends on what you do in the game. While learning the game (I did not play before CBT 3) I took a lot of base damage from purification, so I put up a lot of guns and walls for defenses, Also I grew what I consider a lot of crops, generally 48 but sometimes more.

Yeah I think some other people have covered this in comments as well. I agree this is pretty silly. I get that Eternaland has no restrictions and thus you can build things that don't work outside it, but gotta be a better solution!

I feel like they will eventually add an option to share blueprints cause they have tags and descriptions for the prints. So I'm hoping this becomes a thing to like post up your prints in a database people can view.

[@KittiesandMilk]

Anyone having a problem with not being able to place ceilings close to the spiral staircase on second and upper floors? Turns red and will not allow me to place, like its colliding with stairs.

That usually means you need support for the ceiling. Build pillars around the stairs and build on them.

cool design, but I I do not have the TRI WOOD FOUNDATION, but only the SMALL TRI WOOD FOUNDATION... i've to unlock this structure?

[@kus0bi128]

how do you make the facilities like the workbench to go stick to the wall mine keeps locking to a sideways grid

[@RevBrucifer]

There is a newer Grid system that exists in game now. You can toggle it off and on. I think it's L by default? Look on the left hand side when in Build Mode, you can turn it off.

[@philnerf]

Are the windows with sand bags more protective than a concrete wall ? The glass concerns me but I want to use it.

This game seems to good to be true? It has literally everything I ever wanted from a survival MMO and yet no one seems to be talking about it Definitely will copy your layout.

Oh I disagree! The game has a lot of hype coming in. It was heavily streamed on Twitch even by larger creators. It's just been going through a somewhat lengthy beta process. But either way WELCOME to the community and I hope you enjoy the game, and the base, as much as I have.

[@Holosightz]

The blueprint doesn't work for me when i try and build my base after creating in in Enternaland, just tell me I cannot build it, demolished my base for nothing - lost the will to keep playing after this wasn't working. Basing is one of my favorite aspects of about survival games.

[@RevBrucifer]

Yea they slap a tag on it saying it's eternaland only when built there. It's pretty confusing and annoying but I guess it's because there's no a limit in eternaland on size. But I think a more elegant solution should be found.

You could I suppose. But I think the bigger problem later in cortex is flying units more so than ground ones. But as I said I haven't run the base up against really high Cortex yet. But using the Triangle floors does mean honeycombing can be done relatively easily. PVP or PVE.

[@Gnomesmusher]

Thanks for this video was really helpful. I had no issues building in the "real world" but in Eternaland, I ran into a bug I think where I try to place down objects sometimes and get a "invalid data format in client requests" error. It's not a build limit as far as I can tell because I would delete some things and see if I can place them down again and I get the same error. For example, I placed a window down no problem. Then later on, I delete it to replace with another window and it gives me that error. Then tried the original window and same error. And it's not specific objects because I can place them down in other parts of the territory. The build isn't even too big and doesn't look any bigger than some of the builds I've seen. I wonder if you or anyone else ran into this issue. No big deal though if it gets fixed in release. It's still beta but I was wondering if I did anything wrong so I don't run into the issue again.

They have a relatively simple AI to go for the Cortex unit you put down. They'll look for routes to go for to get to it, usually the shortest. Sand bags tend to help direct them a bit. Also putting your base against Water can help because they won't spawn in Water. There's a technique actually to put the Cortex in water and they can't get to it at all.
