ROOFS & WIDEGAPS - So Simple, SO GOOD (A Building Idea for Solos-Trios)

This combination of old slightly less old metas is how I build in wipe.
It solves many of the problems I had with solo/duo/trio base shooting floors while making my bases cheaper.
This is a way to get a very quick basic shooting floor to control your area without compromising the strength of the core base by using windows/doors instead of walls, and then, when/if you want to, you can invest in actual widegaps on top of that.
In addition, you're afforded a lot more creativity since you don't have to close up a shooting floor with window frames and ceilings, and you get all the functionality of widegaps and even more, for cheaper.
Try it, it's really fun!

You are, by far, the best active base building channel on KZbin. Unreal.

[@GameLightz]

Appreciate that

Although I agree gamerlightz is awesome I feel you are not aware of Dust. He is also awesome and active.

Its because he teaches concepts instead of just showing designs 👌🏼

Any base builds that are modular are always great

[@GameLightz]

Correct! :P

[@jamiesz2748]

Every build is modular when you freehand ;)

[@guvrd75ecvu6.hgvjkuhtc]

Not just great Rust content but seriously high quality scripting, voicing, and editing from someone who understands how to teach more than just how to show off what you've done. You set the bar very high.. Keep it up man.. You deserve far more attention.

[@YaBoiiiiNick]

I'd love to see a current wipe video of you building like this and see how you progress, great content as always!

[@jthomson8645]

Really appreciate you and your channel as I do enjoy all your building quirks. But when it comes to some of the best builders in rust you are one of if not the best. Reason, you fully test and use your own designs in real wipes. Finding flaws then improving upon them. Given enough time your designs will become The meta. Keep up the incredible work we’re counting on you!

[@GameLightz]

Thank you Sir!! I do play rust a lot more than I make videos, that's true haha. I should work harder

[@rustenjoyer9689]

love the theory,, not convinced on roof tiles on roofs but appreciating the modularity and consideration of base architecture effect on wipe overall.. very underrated approach

[@stlreaper8392]

I have just over 8k hrs and a majority of that is building. Yet every time i watch one of your videos i learn something new. Your the man

Love this kind of rust content as someone who enjoys building.

[@gantz3d635]

I'm using these modules on a solo/duo server with my friend right now and these modules are a god send! Will definitely be implementing these on all upcoming solo/duo wipes. Much love G Lightz, keep up the amazing content bro

[@EpicEvolutionHD]

i build one today and its so nice, i tryed out so many variations and all of them are ez possible.

[@ya1r3r38]

can you explain to me the footprint of the base? i cannot figure out how to build the starter

[@tdogy]

Your new concepts are always refreshing and good to learn. Best rust builder by far thankyou for all your tips!

[@GameLightz]

Glad you like them!

@@GameLightz ofc still waiting on a game lightz 2by1 bunker… ;)

[@PKrust]

Amazing good sir. What an awesome idea. I keep telling my team we need more chutes! This is the way.

[@GameLightz]

It's a really great chute, really good stabilty too since you got frames/doors inside between the two triangles. And with the roof idea, you can attach it to any base, regardless if the footprint fits :>

[@hanfiball4136]

Makes me want to start playing rust again...this is brilliant! I always struggled with making cheap but useful shooting floors

[@2amwater]

3:00 i saw the placement with the junk for the ladder proofing and i’m just like how did i not think of that, such a good tip

[@scully2220]

Finally base design i can build without watching building tutorial 10 times before i get i right. Perfect idea and freedom to build it how it fits best for your needs. Definetly will try this upcoming wipes!

[@fiendishfong]

Thanks!

[@zakxtoten]

Evil Wurst respect

[@markkilgore4152]

@@dtk673 he is a KZbin content creator that was specifically targeting base building in Rust. He made very informative and cutting edge (at the time) videos about realistic bases that a lot of people used as references for their wipes for about the 4 years he was active. He stopped making videos about 2 years ago because he started a family if I recall correctly.

[@blammed5570]

Just watched the last year of your uploads best builder Channel by far. Actually breaks it down step by step. Props bro

[@4TommyD]

GameLightz this is literally the right way to go for the roof! Build out the outer tc`s to 6 triangles and pipe with a smart switch one big box from main with one box outside. Controlled from outside with rust+ and you get your "offline" or "roaming" protection very cheap 24 rockets more expensive. Thank you for sharing the awesome design!

[@lolikuh1]

I did smtn similar, just used roof peekdowns with fences from your other video and attached it to them, I got also very interesting results.

[@rustmoments3783]

We miss you game! I hope you are ok Brah.

[@bubbavox]

digging it. This wipe I've built a Temple-esque core with the rodent bunker, and now I'm adding your roof widegaps. Gamelightz vibez!

[@icebreaker554]

Very worthwhile concept to cheaply add height to your shooting floor aswell. A problem I've ran into several time with my more chunkier bases is that the shooting floor is at the 3rd floor, barely looking over the high external walls.

[@muuutch]

Heya Gamelightz, I'm new to rust & your content and I wanted to express how I feel like I'm learning from a master teacher. Thank you for sharing your knowledge ✌️

[@bluebubs]

SOLD. this idea is great.

[@AFKBank]

of course i find you here as welll XD

[@VelhaTheOne]

Honestly a very brilliant idea. Me and my trio personally like more “advanced” builds as it’s more fun for us, but I definitely wanna try and incorporate this into one of my designs😊

[@ethanjohnson6875]

Dude your building tips while for pc, have taken my building in the console edition to the next level. Much appreciated.

[@TheMrFaceRape]

No longer playing but if I was and building roof peaks, can't beat the value of these. Even seem decent for taking heli from roof as emergency place to jump into to avoid rockets.

[@junuka7362]

you’re by far my absolut fav building youtuber. I usually play duo/trio so your bases carried me many times. Irl friends are planning a wipe with a bigger group, maybe 5-6 people and I wanted to ask if you have a design I can abuse for inspiration keep it up youre the goat

[@Dolo.4L]

yea when I first seen somebody using these I couldnt stop using them they are cool asf

[@MrWobblesStreams]

could u do a freehand peak for these?

[@GameLightz]

You could, but I probably wouldn't

[@GameLightz]

BTW checking that V next to ur name I noticed ur a musician! SWEET! :) I make all the music for my videos :>

[@wrequiem3976]

Took a break from Rust, came back, and SO glad to see you're still putting out vids :) xo

[@Satsujiki]

Been away from Rust for a while. I am actually waiting for your new base designs to jump back in haha. Great video, as always.

[@Habbtips]

Gamelights my savior once again. My base has been lacking "outer peeks" for the longest time and quite frankly im not sure how to build them. Watch your video and poof perfect peeks!! I think this might be wipe saving. As of now each of my 4 teammates has a separate tower bed that connects perfectly to my roofs. Cant even fall through them if you try!

[@AquaticBlossom]

i found the best use for this. since i no longer need a shooring floor. i can move the bedrooms in my 3x1 up 1 floor and add a farm layer now. ez cloth and all.

[@eddienelson9787]

Also you can add a funnel super easy to designs like this. Ive been messing with a split core design, But to do a funnel its just a triangle infront with a square on each in front of the doors.

[@Starboy2111]

Ps Your channel is the only one worth watching in my opinion. Love what you do man❤

[@EokaBeamer69]

As always a very smart and well designed solution.

lol the fridge behind the armored door, with no explanation given. Anyways, this is awesome!

[@JSON_bourne]

Cant wait to give this a shot to swe what kind if designs i can come up with

[@GameLightz]

The real beauty of it is that any module fits on any base shape, unlike with widegaps etc where you have limitations imposed by the core :)

[@JSON_bourne]

@@GameLightz yeah gonna be trying to make farm and heli modules!!!! Maybe a garage in the base as well

being able to still honeycomb really sealed the deal. great vid

Lowkey my type of base, Good stuff bro!

[@christiandodart9624]

Congrats on your baby! We miss you

[@MistressOP]

this is a good forcewipe base. Id do another for regular wipe but force wipe I like this a lot.

[@langeas31]

Made The Temple V2, with a pixel gap bunker from The Throne, and incorporated a God Bunker into the jump up. Pixel gapped TC, God Bunkered Hex Core, 3 Freehand Floating Honeycomb Bunkers, all on Console Rust. Now I need to add this into my builds! I generally use the “One Man Army Gatehouse from your Gatehouse video. Thanks for all your hard work and videos! I spend hours on build servers messing with mechanics of Rust cuz of you haha.

[@langeas31]

I’ve had the Throne raided multiple times and they have never gone after TC, most raiders go through the Armored visible wall, then turn left through the door, most raids stop after the workbench loot room on level 2, which I keep filled with junk and have my loot spread throughout the other areas of the base.

[@jimmydean1985]

In a trio server it's the best thing ever cost wise,but if you're raided by a larger group you are just asking to be HVed with 1 peak per side. Actually super smart for a chill wipe with zero willingness to farm. Thanks

[@GameLightz]

It's another technique to think about, an addition to the ole toolbox :)

[@_MrWavy_]

The Goat. Back at it again with the white vans

[@badguy4839]

3 months = 1 video is okay. Please keep it up.

[@Nor1MAL]

I would do this, if I have chad(s). But a slightly different version of your luxury Mini-Chad-Shed V2, with the airlock side mostly wooden and a wooden door (at least early-mid wipe), and some roleplayer elements on the window frame before the airlock, seems to work really great. People who have boom, will chose other bases, and people who can only do eco-low raids, give up. I've experienced in one wipe, the wooden door gone 2-3 times. The last time, they probably got hit hard by the 4 shotgun traps lol. One time they tried to raid through the top door, which was also wooden. They were met with a garage door instead of sheet metal. But you do have a fair point, that people will avoid this base a bit more, unless they are in a raiding mood perhaps :)

[@incognitorust]

This is crazy bro. I love it!

Such a helpful tip! I look at all these builds from other creators and they’re cool and all but they’re lacking the functional strength and practicality of your builds.

3:02 Also consider clipping something like industrial lights into the wall on the roofs inside the base. Then the grubs will be clueless as to why they can't place twig and it's unbreakable!

[@mripwntheworld]

I always get annoyed when I have to farm so much and so quickly so the roof is protected. This is exactly what I was looking for! Do you struggle at all taking heli with this though? Do the doors get destroyed a lot?

[@GameLightz]

The doors getting destroyed in the modules I use is not such an issue since anything good will be more protected. But yeah anything stone can die to heli if you're taking it with 2 sars :>>
