I’m too lazy to make a large base, will make a few changes and use this as a main lol

[@g2xhuseen292]

bruh u shoudnt be lazy on ur main base lmao

[@g2xhuseen292]

@@powski151 yea i was talking about offical servers vs zergs or trios u need a good base cuz u cant survive alone

[@bear532]

@@g2xhuseen292 I’ve gone through a ton of variations for different base designs. Some tiny, some multi tc compounds (tough for a solo). I’ve used countless and made countless different bases. From my experience, my current belief is a base should embrace raids. I have found that it frankly doesn’t matter how strong your base is, if a zerg wants to raid you, you WILL log on to an offlined base. My current main base has a secret loot room, which so far has only been cracked once in the last 3 raids. The other thing is that my loot in my bunker is in two different rooms behind a window. Basically if they raid from the outside and hit one of the loot rooms, the loot room itself acts as a second layer of honeycomb. Next my tc is behind a vending machine. Basically raiders have to decide if it’s even worth using 9 rockets for tc. All have decided it’s not. For extra security, you can add an extra external tc which I also use as a horse barn. The bunker actually ends up costing a similar amount as the base in the video. However, it has the added bonus of being expandable with a heli garage and shooting floor. So basically, I just build the minimum (the bunker portion) and just play off of that. I don’t bother expanding unless I snowball and find a ton of mats. Even when I get raided (had a wipe where I got offlined every single day using this base (no secret loot room though) it really doesn’t matter. I lose some loot, but at the end I still have a base and my best loot is hidden. Also, recycle almost everything on your first/second day depending on how far you’ve gotten. You can use the scrap and hide the mats so even if you do get raided the raiders get crap loot. Any base that is easy to take over is frankly not worth unless you’re only playing for one day. The base in the video is good, but I would personally add an external tc to protect it from being griefed and try to implement a secret loot room somewhere so you still keep some loot.

[@g2xhuseen292]

@@bear532i got so much experience from reading your comment man , thank you ,yes i think im going to start but some secret loot rooms at my base and i already build external tc with every base i have at least 2 , and like to do compound for supply signal and refinery and some large furneces , plus all that i think u right if a zerg want to raid u its done >

[@nateg378]

when doing the honeycomb on the roof make sure to have a half wall in between the two ceiling tiles so somebody doing a top down raid cant blow into both roofs at the same time

[@itzarkngel]

Placing a ramp in each squares works too

[@chainreaction8977]

I like to use low 1/4 walls on the inside of my roof honeycomb, it's half the price / upkeep.

[@WeekendWarriors72]

literally paused the video to comment this. people raiding top down are always using rockets and will use their splash damage to get into both if there is no half wall

[@Templetaps]

This doesn't affect the minimum raid cost. It will still be 15 for both rooms by splashing the back honeycomb and core, or by going through the vending machine and then doors, or the straight doorpath.

[@BigBeanBilly]

@@Templetaps That's true, the minimum is still the same, but we can't always assume the raiders will pick the optimal path either, and top down is usually a pretty safe path to go, so reinforcing it for such a low cost is probably worth it.

[@rustinatorserver3222]

I've been playing Rust since beta and never really done the underfloor storage before. It's a great design. Thanks for sharing it with us. Most of my builds have always been 2x1 with a crazy maze of doors. This has given me so much more storage space. I decided not to have the final little box as i found it a bit obstructive. Instead i moved the workbench across to the right and managed to squeeze a box to the left. Also, before i built anything i put some rugs around to get that lovely comfort. i'll be using this from now on i think

[@johnfnrambo2105]

[@Templetaps]

Thank you! :)

[@woollygoat8921]

@@Templetaps I just built it on a build server. The campfire/small box is a pain. You could replace the roof honeycomb with an actual roof. It would add same protection and add to its RP aesthetics which "might" help you survive your neighbours if you can convince them that you're a happy roleplaying potato farmer. I found that if I put a twig triangle foundation and corner roof outside the starter airlock it made for an easy jump up before the finished airlock/expansion is done.

[@Templetaps]

@@woollygoat8921 This is actually a good suggestion! I didn't think of using roof ramps for more RP-looking roof honeycomb. I like it haha

[@goldragon616]

Fantastic video! My only suggestion for improvement would be to show a top-down view of the final footprint of the complete base, including optional stuff like the front porch, so that we can verify we can place all the foundations when picking our spot to build.

For the loot room that can be built into the floor, I find it easier to place the 4th large box before placing the triangle above it. I think it's easier to line up since you can stand on the same level.

Tip for getting the 4 boxes in one square. Place down a camp fire or lantern in the center it will help with placement

[@mr.boomguy]

Depends if you place the lantern perfectly in the middle in the first place right?

[@papasalvo]

@@mr.boomguy if u do lantern u just need to get it into the middle square then stand on it and do the placement. If u do a campfire it filles the middle square perfectly so its easier to line up and ur less likely to have issues with a camp fire but if u get used to the lantern its just as good. But with both if u mess up placement one is easy broken the other u can pick up

Thanks I wasted 20 metal frags and 15 low-grade

[@mr.meeseeks4010]

I love the triangle floor tile its so nice

[@bear532]

Great base. My only recommendation, this is for all bases really, is to put tc on the same side as the single door. Putting it on the other side like in this tutorial, means if you do die with your two doors open (single and double door) when it’s a 2x1 people can potentially destroy your tc and place a bag inside your base.

[@RauTheCow]

its should be airlocked and not be affected by the open doors or am I missing something?

[@bear532]

@@RauTheCow yes you are. If you put the tc on the opposite side of the single door, as in this video, people will be able to see your tc from the outside, regardless of the airlock. If they have a gun with enough ammo or fire arrows they will be able to shoot the tc from the outside. Once tc is destroyed they can place a bag inside the base bypassing the airlock which gives them full control of your base. It’s something that happens very rarely, but it does happen. Since it doesn’t cost any extra material or time to place tc on the same side as the single door there’s no reason not to do it. I hope that helps :).

[@RauTheCow]

If its airlocked properly they will only be able to see workbench

Even if you make this base full sheet metal and core HQM it is not that expensive around 1.3K metal per day which isnt much at all and the HQM will make its own way in when running monuments scrap runs and even when getting the HQM Ore from mining metal great base design and multiple options for expanding. For example i place a triangle roof ladder hatch where the locker was placed and was able to make upto 3 floors including a shooting floor this is great and simple everything a 1 hour to 7000 hour rust player can understand and make !

[@Name-bb8wo]

when I saw the 1m views I knew doing this wont be a good idea so I watched the video to get inspiriation to build another one but with custom made changes. thank you for sharing this!

[@brodes]

Another gem man! I liked the small farm out front optionally. And a vendi to sell back your enemies their gunz?! Genius. Did you think to make the front furnace pocket a bunker instead?

[@Templetaps]

Glad to see you back!! Gotta sell em their guns back ;) I did indeed test the raised foundation stability bunker. Unfortunately, a lot of concessions have to be made before the bunker actually increases the raid cost of the base. The entire core has to be upgraded to HQM and the vending machine has to be honeycombed in as well. The triangle above it will also have to be halfwall honeycombed and a few other upgraded and adjustments etc. It can be done, but that budget scope changed a little and there's some vulnerabilities in the foundations for softsiding unless you lower the front foundations and halfwall cap them as well. Overall I just didn't think it was worth it. I am working on a more efficient bunker base though that won't have these problems!
