Me with a triple bunker compound base thats floor, wall and door stacked with inner peakdowns, with full iron external TC's, two layers of honeycomb, with automatic turrets behind electricity acessed garage doors, with a fully armored vending machine unlootable loot room and a meta roof access TC room: *ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT*

At the end of the day, the zergs see a small base and they don't care how much explosive they need they just destroy every wall and take all your stuff while your offline, simple as that

[@OneTwoNineEight]

My takeway from this, bases are all easy to raid

[@DavDavBuilding]

You could say it like that i guess

[@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.

It's actually a fun build, and if you bunker and honeycomb it right it makes for a good clan base, and don't put the TC in the middle, I use the middle for a furnace room

[@killtime1984]

Shield base

[@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.

[@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.

[@hoviksmail]

The circle starter base you can do a half gap footprint, and floor stack it, it’s not an easy thing to do but the circle base is prob the best one out of all of those rather than the 2x2

[@toppik9682]

So after watching this video i feel like all the footprints are trash lol. I made my own 2x2 with a expensive door path on it but i want to push it past 2 layers of walls. Finding that part difficult

[@DavDavBuilding]

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.

[@mj5692]

On the clan base the first thing I honey comb is between the loot rooms that way the clan only get into one loot room it a time

[@josephhurst4902]

5:48, Would suggest Shield for name of this Floor plan, even though its not majorly Defensive. Shield, because if you look at the above View it resembles a Shield like you could just pick it up and Walk off with it attached to your arm.

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?

[@Krazyk007x2]

Did you build low walls instead of half walls? I've done it myself, & was confused too.

[@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

[@user54363]

6:45 why it upsite down

[@mellowrebel4618]

If you can afford it is honeycombing triangles with half walls and capping off each 1/2 level good?

[@DavDavBuilding]

That doesnt sound very usefull to me.

[@timoschrauwers8262]

No it is not

[@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.

[@marvsview3710]

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.
