[@mrolson713]

I appreciate you doing your best to explain every decision to make this build as approachable as possible for newer players. It's common sense but I was surprised that you didn't mention that you absolutely have to keep materials to open the bunker available. If the bunker is metal I always keep a stack of frags and wood in a box outside the TC so that if for whatever reason I'm not around it doesn't accidently get used up for upkeep.

[@RubberusDuckus]

Since most bases (except large zerg bases) seem to keep their TC in the triangle, I feel that this mechanic for the TC is great for all of those builds, too. Incorporating the pixel gap will often be overlooked by most raiders. If you have windows placed around your base and the raiders cannot find the TC, this will make protecting your loot spaces easier with just a metal window to toss in the slot rather than a door + lock, during an online raid.

[@Simmo_Slayer2]

Online raid? Whats that lol a zerg will come along slap down a raid base with turret protection to off line a solo base like this

[@floatz8141]

I've been using this base mixed with the tc placement in the keeper base for almost a wipe now, and as usual, I've been raided three times now. The only difference, I've never had to move location. The raiders have never gotten my TC and I've been able to rebuild my layers and resources every time because of it. Absolutely chadded base design.

[@Reksmore]

Thank you! That was literally the entire point of the design and I'm glad it's working for you!

[@JAKENMK]

Epicnate vibes from the fallout vids

[@miloshreload]

This is amazing, but wouldn't the raider who decides to blow open the bunker blow straight to tc on accident with splash damage? And the wall being hard-sided in makes it a point of interest - would it work with being on the opposite side of the base? You can also keep that loot triangle floor wood there while offline, soft side it when you're back on

[@TopkekCheburek]

Exactly what I though as well.. Basically useless hiding TC like this, as it will be the first thing to open up for raiders with splash damage

[@recoveryemail3813]

It depends. As a raider I would rather splash the wall that I think has tc in it which would be the left side not the honeycomb side. The honeycomb would still take some splash but if you play with the design you could come up with ways to counter them such as making the roof metal instead of hqm

[@steviecook2250]

The wall being hard side makes sense because its part of the bunker.

But now with two pixel bunker types, and multiple ways to either use stairs as a bunker drop down on top of using roof bunkers and stability bunkers in a base design I havnt been raided in ages people feel like it's not worth xD raid costs far exceed the loot they can get from my base now adays which makes solo life so much more enjoyable

[@sarchlalaith8836]

PROTIP: better way to place boxed on square floors and much faster is to line up the square floor you first place by aiming directly north on the compass, then when it comes to placing boxes all you have to do to line up is aim north. If you're checking that stacking I strongly recommend you check the OG Budsatawny.

[@steviecook2250]

What tune is that? Starts like 8:20 ish

[@ethancomstock214]

I feel like major oversight here is that the tc will get splashed and instantly found if anyone decides to go straight through the bunker, given the sheet doors on the base its probably a cheaper option than coming in from the side

[@Borkomora]

i've played solo and lived out of small bunkers basically my entire rust life outside of some duo wipes, and almost every raid i've ever been there for/examined the base afterwards, the raiders blow thru the back or the side. Almost nobody goes thru an obvious bunker, as it's usually the same cost to just go thru the sides and you wont have to deal with any traps or anything

Problems with the bunker aside, when you honey-comb the roof, you can also add Ramps in the inside of the half wall squares and upgrade them to the highest you’re comfortable with. Raiders will be incredibly frustrated and it also gives you extra health in places you weren’t going to use anyways.

I built the base and now 2 friends want to join but since there is a codelock on the TC they cant open it because they cant even type in the Code through the wall. Do we really need to blow up a wall so they can Authenticate on the TC? If so, which one is the best to break?

Happy to help! I try to explain the reasoning behind things so newer players can modify things easier and avoid mistakes!

[@tobyk773]

i guess i didnt catch it, but how do you open the wall for the tc? do you have to break it every time?

[@Bullminator]

I personaly prefer to build my base into a cliff that is angeled. It gives your tc natural protection from 2 sides against rocket raids. Also you can build it by 2 big squares, with fake honeycomb araund (doors to let you get to tc) and then extra araund. One of honeycombs is a exist out (that you jump on furance to get out), then its build on top and another layer of fake door honeycomb where you keep less usefull things. Of cose the fake honeycomb is build on halfwalls, while outside is normal walls to prevent a raider to just roof rocket raid it. 2 layers of top honeycomb should stop most raiders (needs to me metal minimum). Also, unlike usualy basses on youtube, your main protection are doors and window doors (ones you can remove with hammer) to increase the raid cost. The build i did would take 2141 explosive ammo just via doors or 53550 sulfur. As for roof raid 76 rockets from top down directly to tc or 106400 sulfur. (i didnt add 3 halfwalls inside roof honeycombs into mix due to directy knowing where tc is) But its --- foundation -- tc room -- high quality metal top, roof honeycomb high quality -- lootroom -- another high quality metal with roof honeycomb --- farming or shootin floor -- )double roof protection again. If you turn it into shooting floor, players can spear the walls to get inside via window reducting the raid cost. I realy dont get it why people dont use fake honeycomb a bit more.

[@berserkervtuber6285]

You need to make your base something that others will want to counter. Having to worry about counters is something I plan on when putting down the location of my base. The more chances that the raider has to plot about how to handle counter raiders, the less likely they'll execute a full on base raid. This is why I tend to find a partnership with no less than 3 clans being a farmer, as they're going to be highly invested in to counter raiding there sulfur and grubbing farmer.

something im a bit curious about, I tried the build, and did everything the way you did it, but noticed that you can't loot the tc if its metal or hqm, that means a corner of the stone wall is exposed when raiding from doors and in, meaning if you take out the 2 front doors, and the stone wall, you have tc right away? making it a total 18 rockets for all loot inside, did I do something wrong?

[@daemonthenoob]

The horizontal pixel gap 100% works as stone, metal, or HQM. Metal should technically be easier to loot not harder. I built this a few different times on a test server already and have had no issues at all... I know its not particularly helpful for your specific situation. But you can go to any metal for sure.
