Shield base

[@MasterOfSlugs]

My friend group recently started playing this, and we created a 3 floor 6x6 with mazes on the bottom 2 floors, our core has all the good loot, and all the outer chests are just random stuff to discourage people from raiding, we made sure to add at least 10 doors per floor and every door and chest has a code lock, we got raided once but they gave up on the outer layer so we didnt lose anything valueble

[@jonomoth2581]

Yh just making them give up is good defence. For small bases I think just splitting loot between multiple rooms and using lots of traps is way to go.

LMAO THIS WAS LITERALLY ME AT MY FIRST RUST PLAYTRHOUGH

[@SockerConny80]

All building in rust is a balance between comfort, storage, upkeep and raid cost. Personally I go with comfort because I never play in large groups so if a large group wants to raid me it's going to happen either way. I'm very fond of keeping stashes within a compound for half of the best loot but esp hackers are so common I lose all the stashes about every 3rd wipe without being raided.

[@DavDavBuilding]

Yea i agree, rust is a balance and everyone has to find the right spot for them.

[@TwoBaze]

this is a spot on comment. People always try to find a layout that looks cool and has all fancy shit, but what does a shooting floor for you, if you never take heli? what does inner peaks for you, if your avrage playtime is like 3h a day? All these things are literally useless if you are not planing to cause such trouble, that people come and online you.

[@braudzilla08]

It really depends what you do with the foot prints afterward. With some of the methods I practice all the time it enhances any footprints strength almost doubling or tripling the raid cost.

2x2's should never have more than 2 layers of Walls maybe in some multi tc designs you can go for 3 but more is wastefull

[@onemadhungrynomad]

2X3 with bunker in the center of the 3 side. this is one footprint he didn't cover. it's harder to splash and can be efficient for a solo to a small group.

[@josephhurst4902]

I build all triangles with a kill spawn bunker that has a larger box that you can deposit from above and transfer from below. Since I have been building this bunker base I have never lost a base in a raid.

[@DavDavBuilding]

ok cool

[@Jay-tx2wz]

Could you show the layout?

[@marvsview3710]

@@Jay-tx2wz there isn’t really a layout due to environment circumstances. The main thing you want to look for is a large crease on the ground. You will put the TC and however many sleeping bags that you need in this area. You will build with half walls and triangles. Remember once you get the triangles down in the crease stick them as low to the ground as possible and then build everything around it at a higher level, continue doing this until you have enough room for tc, boxes and remember you need enough room to stand when place bags. For the drop box you can do a shop front placed on the edge of a triangle that that you can access it from under the floor or you can do a doorway on one triangle on the second half wall to where it comes up from the floor half way, then you can hide the remaining door opening with a large box that you can access from the top or bottom. You can hide the triangle that sticks up by turning it into a jump up. So essentially you have a two story base with the first floor being hid in a crevice.

[@Oops888]

[@speky5777]

[@goated7477]

Egg base

[@onemadhungrynomad]

the two by three is not as easy to splash as all those other styles and makes a very efficient bunker base, i feel like you left it out.

[@DeuceGenius]

does anyone make strong bases that are integrated into the environment?

[@DavDavBuilding]

Only real bases to that i know are cave bases. Rockformations are very unreliable because you never know where they are gonna be and having a good base location is the most important thing in base building.

[@snauspockets9924]

I like building a thrifty scott(left out of video for some reason) and stick the triangle holding the TC under/into a big rock overhang...or inside one of the big rocks you can run under/into. Make them come through the doors and save on honeycomb upkeep. It is random where they spawn but usually you can find something near the power plant or the Launchpad wherever you want to be. Even into the side of a smaller rock just to have a natural obstruction to your TC exterior wall. Also, you hide better than having a base out in the open. I play in a trio so we want our base relatively low exposure.

[@sk8eradu]

You can make some amazingly strong bases if you integrate them in rocks. The downside is you almost always need to experiment and improvise. Just build a 2x1 close to a rock you think is suitable and go there with wood only and try things out

[@tfun101]

Hey dude quick question..I’m trying to honeycomb my roof but I can’t place the flooring pieces…I’ve got half walls on top and I was going to put the roof/flooring on top like you would normal walls but I can’t? Any suggestions?

The tycho is a good triple bunker base for groups that dont play as much.. maybe you shouldnt make your viewers who are probably new at building think that the tycho footprint sucks even though it doesnt and you dont understand about good bases : )

[@alextv4930]

In all my time playing rust it’s never a build or new design that keeps my loot safe it’s making hidden loot rooms

[@Rexhunterj]

Way back, about two or three years ago what my trio would do when building large bases is make fake loot rooms because the servers we played on were known for having asian players using burner accounts with ESP for chests and such. We also spread out the loot all across the base. More often than not the raiders (being large groups of 8+ players (one time about 14 players) would get about half of the loot before running out of booms and giving up. Much later on, we'd simply get foundation raided because we were too annoying to raid properly (and raided offline generally to make it easier again). Raiders will always win in the end, the goal is to make your base look like it isn't worth the effort by either not being big enough to have much loot in it, or having an amount of honeycomb and defenses that is disproportionate to the amount of loot you potentially have at a glance. Base size is key. Too small is easy to raid, too large is too expensive to upkeep.
