Love that you show the in between upgrading the base as well as upkeep throughout the video and you take slight pauses now and then. It’s very helpful !

[@dannyhartstein9213]

nice video man, i like that you include cost and upkeep for every stage!

[@RustyYT1]

Leave a Like if you haven't, it would help me out a ton, Thanks!

[@l-_toasted_-l4575]

Quite enjoy this base and my teammate were surprised by how much box storage there was lol, probably gonna be my go to base‼️

[@bennelson2399]

My only critique is it has 1 entrance. You will get door camped to death.The design is very functional.

[@katelynwilliams8631]

You can easily change that tho in many different spots, you can leave a triangle open and put a jump up and instead of honeycombing you could expand upwards and put a tower its as easy as replacing the roof honeycomb with build up

[@beetroot7762]

This looks amazing. Looking forward to trying it out today on force wipe. Thanks for sharing :)

[@yogi4491]

Btw it may make little difference for upkeep but when adding pancake layer you can do low walls on the inside, it’ll block the same way just cheaper to place than half walls

[@RustyYT1]

Was considering adding this actually when building, but to make it cleaner I did half walls, but definitely do low walls if your short on stone!

[@KingLunaa]

yeah nah, idk where you got that from that does not work, you can't add a roof on top.

[@yogi4491]

[@appo8557]

Sick video, only thing without noclip i struggled to do the upper floor expansion ( noob rust player) would you do a jump up from within the base?

[@rickjames3562]

Did this build. Don’t forget to build the first part high enough so when you do third build out you can do the low foundation or it doesn’t work. Also I jackhammered out the middle triangle and added a hatch ladder to a second floor and built up a shooting floor and battery storage. Love this design. There is one wall you can’t upgrade unless you don’t window the first box storage u til you get enough metal scrap

[@silver1918]

When you broke that middle part for a shooting floor it kinda ruined the whole point of it being a bunker though

Great looking base. vey similar to what i've been building for a long time. Roof access because I don't like leaving through the front door and perfect :) 4k hours.

[@wrongplacerighttime]

So I literally just got raided with this build. Guy built a full sheet metal raid base right in front with 2 turrets. I was completely trapped. I died by the front entrance to the turret and then respawned back into the core. So when you build out the storage to the left of the core, you cant reach back there to upgrade the wall to sheet metal or armored. This was literally the only wall I couldn't reach after putting in the window so it stayed as stone. This guy must've seen this video bc he went straight for that wall (this wall wasn't upgraded during the video but any noob should know to upgrade it regardless) and mind you the outside was full sheet metal as I upgraded everything for extra support. He definitely made no profit bc I didn't have much but this build may be too inviting without a compound which was going to be my next step. Had fun regardless with this build! I'm gonna try different one now.

[@MisterKaplanYT]

Why couldn't you reach? Couldn't you have removed a box to crouch down and reach?

[@bridgerproctor3292]

@@MisterKaplanYT Im assuming they put a window as shown in the video, which makes it impossible to reach

Sucks you got raided, anyone with a full sheet raid base with turrets definitely had it out for you no matter the base you have lol. And I’ll have to make sure to upgrade before honeycombing in the future, but thanks for commenting and using the base!

Man this is awesome ty, im new to rust and dont have anyone to play with so this design gives me a sense of false security that i really need haha. I say false because the amount of sweaty people that play this game is crazy and i know nothing is unraidable however atleast they have to really work with it for this one.

[@psycrow.]

sometimes i can't put elevated foundation because it gets trouble with the walls (in the early building stage).

[@steamaccount2651]

Door triangle foundation needs to be hqm, if you don’t they’ll just jackhammer it out to get to bunker or just use rockets on it instead. Also you can fit 4 furnaces in the two triangle holes for bunker

bags behind 2 doors is kinda iffy? you lose your respawn barely into getting raided... also tc is under stone foundation so 8 rocket foundation outer honeycomb and then 4 for tc is pretty cheap.

Build it great for online's unless they top down you or come with way too much boom I love it it works great for me

[@mrrese4666]

Never been raided with this base they try and but then quickly realize it’s a bunker lol

[@Gfvtctctcycy]

I have a tip, would it be possible ( if its not too much work ) to have the building cost top right in small as you go per section. as you place a wall add the wood cost and then what you upgrade too. This will be so helpful when building in a busy server and the person will know exactly how much materials needed per section

[@ryanholmvig8335]

Could you put a wood triangle frame and an hqm floor triangle in the front door pathway then break it from the inside like a stability bunker

[@RustyYT1]

Only half wall works I believe

[@user-zw7ir4fq1o]

can somebody tell me how should i upgrade the base even more apart from a compund

[@BearzGGaming]

Great base design but this seems too big for a solo. It’ll definitely attract the attention of big clans

[@mathewdavis3129]

May seem dumb but as a newer player, how do you get items into the TC?

[@KeyoG]

You use your hammer to remove your window. The window is mostly used as an extra layer of protection when you are offline. Ofc you wont keep the window when you are inside your base.

I LOVE THIS FFUCKING BASE

[@mannr1]

Hey, why put windows instead of door frames in front of loot etc? Wouldn't that be safer?

[@TheAdmiralCasual]

They do it so you have to break not only the window (or door) but the window wall to get to the broken boxes. (lock your boxes). more expensive.

[@pinkski9175]

Anyone know how to activate the bunker right inside the airlock?

[@feniksx3807]

It's not that kind of bunker, my advice would be get enough resource's to make the bunker and than respawn inside your base

[@PalletEater214]

How would you access the container under the workbench?

[@stevohotsauce6226]

question -- what is the purpose of adding the vending machine in that closed off room? thx

[@RustyYT1]

Adds another layer of protection as it costs a lot to raid through a vending machine, and the vending machine acts as storage for your base :)

appreciate the response, thanks for the great base design! @@RustyYT1

[@Xue6xii]

[@RaikenOW]

Tips for this build (i've played it an entire vanilla official server wipe): DON'T honeycomb the roof, build up a second floor with another exit or windows for recon AND some turret spots. Doorcampers got easy life with this build even if the overall concept works very very well. Just do these changes and you got this on a complete different level. Thank me later

[@NotFinancialAdvice69]

it just kept getting better and better... I had to stop

[@Sour_x]

I’m kind of a newer player, but is the vending machine used for loot storage because you turned disabled broadcasting on or is it for bragging like the clans and Zurg lol. “Edit” just had another idea. Is it to make raid cost straight to TC more expensive expensive

[@RustyYT1]

no worries, the vending machine is for loot storage and also used as another layer of honeycombing as blowing it is worth around another wall

[@biggoldenpanda]

new to rust what purpose does the vending machine serve

[@RustyYT1]

Just another place for storage and it costs a lot of explosives so it adds another layer of protection

[@Bean73930]

I cant get the furnaces to place i can only do one do you have to have a skin

[@firstName_lastName112]

If you're using the Brutalist skin, that seems to have caused me to not be able to place them. Just went to a build server and had to try out a bunch of stuff and I'm pretty sure that's what the issue was. I know this is months old, but hopefully someone in the future finds this and maybe it helps.

[@drosdoboi7423]

I modified it slightly as added a turret in-between each honeycomb piece. No one can even get close enough to try to raid it

[@drosdoboi7423]

As a solo player, instead of the second chest room, I made it half chests and half electrical for the power and turrets, it seems to work well for a solo that way

[@patrikhermansson4980]

What..! this is practicaly the ground for my base I came up with for myself about 2-3 years ago... maybe even 4y ago. Question is who was first? Just watched first minutes when writing this...

[@MrManuXZ]

Cons: Just one way out, perfect for doorcampers, cant roof camp or raid defend, hard to upgrade and put electricity.

[@Toronto989]

Just add a humbug shooting floor

[@Ascended_Maxy]

What does the vending machine do if its inside? (I started this build and Im new to rust)

[@RustyYT1]

Using a vending machine creates extra protection as it costs a lot of boom to go through one, and it creates storage, just make sure to turn off the broadcasting feature on it so players can’t see it on the map

[@speeding240sx]

How would you fit a tear lvl1 and 3lvl workbench in their as well. other then that nice base

Yes

[@drym6924]

It has to be more than that

[@ancientevils9853]

Errr, i don't mean to worry you, but that base is a 10 rocket raid, making all the HQM pointless. Rocket into front door. Soft side the sheet metal floor, break twig. 9 rockets to get to the loot, 12 if you care about TC. Not saying it is a BAD base, but, the bunker can be bypassed meaning you are spending hqm upkeep for nothing. I would at the very least make the triangle foundation after front door HQM to make it a pain to softside.

[@RustyYT1]

Totally get what you mean! But someone trying that would be extremely hard. jackhammering a metal floor takes ages and you’re at the front door which means you don’t have any cover if someone comes and it would just be extremely hard to pull off. I feel most people would just move on to a different base at that point as well. But, if you want to counter that, upgrade the foundation to armored and just put a stone foundation in front of it to cover it.
