ive been subbed for a while!

[@ShadowSpawn777]

Wow, yes, I did and this was the first video of yours I've seen. Just an incredible video, build, and explanation. This is what all "build" videos should be like. I don't know a single other creator who does as good a job as what I just watched. You are incredible. ... You deserve more subs and exposure. I hope you get it and more.

[@Piktro]

If you need to replace the turrets in the shell after you've upgraded to sheet metal, just stand at the bottom of the triangle roof piece and place a twig frame on the raised foundation. Now you can add your turrets back :) Update: You can also use adobe roof tiles and the turret will fit.

[@bennybramhill]

Yo this needs to be seen by dust and everyone. Save from armoring the door and simple. Take my upvote.

[@vilgotlilliestam862]

yoo ty man

[@Leanardo10]

I did this and my turrets broke lmao

[@jarjarstinx]

as cool as theses pvp online defence features and as fun as online raids are the odds of you encountering an online raid is slim to none now a days, would LOVE to see a base catered towards offline security while still maintaining some online functionalities.

[@saberhap2639]

You can add a bunker to this base

[@arielbouhnik8796]

@@saberhap2639 how?

[@dustgg]

Reposting this comment because it's relevant here: "The reason there's no bunker in the core is because the door raid cost is already more expensive than the wall raid cost - so bunkering the main base doesn't make any sense. That being said there's a vending machine bunker on the roof which adds 15 rockets of additional, distributed loot storage!" Also, I've had a few experienced raiders take on this base in an offline situation knowing the internal layout, and every time we've come to raid costs of 50+ rockets for all main loot, externals, vending machine bunker and all locker kits. So it's a fairly capable base for offline raids still. If a group can pull together 50 rockets, they can pull together 60, 80, 100, etc.

[@panzerx7776]

@@arielbouhnik8796 i run hex core base similar to this, but more catered to offline protection. u can easily add a godbunker to the core and to the 2nd floor as well, if u want but its not really necessary

Man another masterpiece! Thanks for catering to the solo/duos. The upkeep for this base is unreal, this will be my main going forward. Can’t wait for your next build man, keep it up! Oh ya and I’ve been subbed for a while. The number one builder in rust!

[@danielwollam4347]

Hes a good one but Crow is the best builder.

[@TNS_Silver]

@@danielwollam4347 no hes not

[@SaltyGrub1475]

@@danielwollam4347 Yeah, that's not fair to say. There are a lot of good builders. Both Dust and Crow are my favorites, and I like their bases equally. I used the Crux forever until this Duo's Den came out and I was so impressed by Dusts work. Then Crow released the Viper 2x1 which is so awesome for offlines. So I have been using that. Today, I am I building the Duo's Den with ideas of incorporating Crow's sectioning of the base to keep raiders from moving freely about. They are both bad ass builders and when I look at their bases I think, "They must collaborate with each other."

[@Faewild]

Thank you so much for the extensive step by step guide with explanations on why things are placed and which orientation. It's incredibly helpful for someone who has just started and is still learning.

[@dustgg]

Glad it was helpful!

hey i gotta question, everytime i build this design with all the externals and gatehouses my breach peaks and my gatehouses are decaying even though all my tcs have all the materials. pls help me

I think I study your videos more than I did for most exams to become a mechanical engineer. They are packed with the product of thousands of build hours and serve as a bible to many. Thank you for sharing with us mortals.

[@dustgg]

Lmao that means a ton to me, I'm just forwarding on the knowledge that's been imparted on me by others!

[@Wikstammen]

bro these videos are so high quality, ur plugins to make building more clear, faster and easier to understand, the quite music, no more is said than what needs to be and of course the bases are crazy

[@BullseyeBill]

Such a well made video. Too many builders fly through a breakneck speed that it becomes confusing. Excellent work.

[@Cacz_98]

Legit bro, I can’t stand it. This video went at such a good pace where I could watch a segment, pause, and build it without having to rewatch it 100 times.

[@NateC2049]

Wholesome ending Dust. Really enjoying your builds and channel mate. So chill.

[@impulse5482]

I'll never understand how you got so good at building, but so far the cinematics and the base looks amazing, this vid is gonna be a banger as always

Constantly getting feedback from people who are better than me at building!

[@impulse5482]

@@dustggIts actually insane the kinds of bases you can build in rust and I'm gonna be honest joining your discord and talking to some of the people in there has helped me hella at improving at building

[@alovis949]

So i am using this base for 1 year now i have integrated NHI core in electricity parallel batteries (200 rW) and 9 backup turrets with the press of a button that deactivates the main set of turrets and activates the 9 backup. i have added petrico peeks in the gatehouses and on top of that i surround the compound in and out with land mines and yet no one has tried to give me a damn online raid. Thank you so much for this design and for making my rust sessions cozy and fun

[@nikitaplotnikov9118]

I finally survived an offline raid thanks to this base. Turret angles are so good

[@judge462]

Already had a raid attempt defended successfully with this design Dust! I didnt have turrets up yet and they decided to go straight through the gatehouse doors and into the widegap sides, i had already put gdoors on the bottom part of the wide gap and i was able to put gdoors on the upper part as well, i made them waste 6 rockets before they even touched core honeycomb and they gave up when they realized they wouldnt have enough to get through. Great base to defend an online as solo!.

[@dustgg]

Nice! Having them hit the widegap sides is definitely ideal and what the base is designed for. Glad you defended

[@Raiven007Rust]

I built your base already too Dust. Also modified it slightly. And those bottom bridge peek turrets can be placed on the triangle even with both walls sheet metal. I had no problem placing them. You have to move the turrets around a bit slowly and it will place.

[@brettcampbell8306]

As a console rust player with electricity added now this helped alot and will give it a shot come Thursday! Thank you!!

[@funnyfatmann]

I've been following you since the Vulcan mini, which was the first base i've built in my first 100 hours. Love your vids and I appreciate the effort you put in them. Keep up the good work!

[@loonieYT]

definitely will be using this as someone who isn't really a builder and is solo this is a perfect base for me. Will be subbing

[@iTzzTronco]

Love it! ive been in a clan for a long time and built zerg bases and now im only playing solo or duo with my friend and this is a very nice compact and defendable base for a duo for a reasonable price! the design looks sick, the peeks are strong the only thing i would need more is lootroom. the 2 vending machines can store some stuff aswell which is great and the locker behind the t3 can come in clutch. especially since i mostly go afk around the workbench somewhere. quick access in case of heli spawn or raid defense! also the peeks revealing throughout a raid are pretty impressive since the only thing comparable to like big bases are inner peeks or ramp peeks this is very unexpected to see when you raid a base this size. sorry for the long text just wanted to spill some thoughts! great work!

[@iTzzTronco]

Update: Base is beautiful and overall nice to live out of, just the storage is a little too less for me and my duo

[@kn0wone]

I love it it’ll be my new base design in every wipe I subbed!

[@SaladbarRust]

For your disconnectable TC's I've been using a single door instead of a window. With the goal in mind, I'm going to replace the single sheet door with an armored door and upgrade TC walls and door frame to sheet metal. This makes your disconnectable significantly more expensive. I play on long servers so keeping my base is always on my mind.

[@dustgg]

Totally, I usually do 2 windows and a sheet door for my externals, then sheet metal the disconnectable part. The only reason I didn't on a solo-duo base is metal frag cost - I just wanted to be conscious of more casual players!

[@Ilikebigbooties]

What is the point of having the TC like this? I’m new lmao but everyone keeps doing it

[@Shuroii]

@@Ilikebigbooties If you get raided, raiders can't seal because the external TC's have building priv range that covers the rest of the base. The problem with this is that it also prevents you from placing down a new inner TC because you can't stack building privileges directly, so that's where the disconnectable comes in. TC building privilege gets extended through connected sockets and foundations, so by disconnecting a socket (say, a couple of triangle floor frames because they're cheap) you disconnect the TC which makes it so privilege doesn't extend from it anymore, which allows you to replace your inner TC without having to destroy your external TC's.

[@jameslangton5228]

How do you disconnect the externals?

[@l_MaRf1Mm_l]

@@jameslangton5228 YES! I have same issue, main base got raided and i have no clue on how to disconnect externals from main base

[@Assassins000]

My man’s has the best suitable bases every time since I play duo your bases works every time against onlines

[@SteppyRecKs]

I have built this already. Super easy to build and really sick. My only wish is one more loot room lol I might have to add another floor above the tier 3 room

[@damefxme1915]

If you want more loot rooms you can turn the wide gaps into wall stack bunkers while still having peak downs

[@benshackelford7742]

Holy cow I'm a minute in and i can already tell so much time and effort went into this, really great production all around.

[@jonathanworthington6982]

it would be pretty cool if dust could make a duo trio base really favored towards offline protection while still having widegaps. For example like bunkered externals or maybe If u did something like the China wall on the yeti and add a bunker in it

[@midnightas.]

babe wake up, dust posted

[@naradamugnolo7555]

I always appreciate realistic and strong achievable bases, really great work here- I subbed 🎉

[@thisisdarrel]

everytime i go to build and watch the video, i realize just how much work u put behind it.. super impressive!! great video and build

[@blakemarsden910]

Hey dust! Awesome build. Just to note that you mention hqm upkeep being 66 total but then you opened your main Tc it showed 93 - which is correct?

[@Neoignere]

I think 66 but 93 if you upgrade all the things he points out as optional.

[@dustgg]

It's 66! The tour was filmed before the build, so the number was actually inflated by sections of the base that didn't need to be HQM :) I trimmed it down before doing the build section. Good eye though, I was wondering if somebody would comment on that haha

[@blakemarsden910]

@@dustgg sweet, love your work. Thanks for the reply!

[@michellebarber6187]

The gaps on the roof are large enough to squeeze someone through them by jumping on their heads. Learned this today.. Woke up attempt raided and confused as heck on how they got in but then we tested it ourselves. Can fix it (Sort of) by placing triangle frames connected to the ceilings. (They don't block the turrets view or hinder the peek) Other than this, this is a pretty solid base. It has survived every raid thrown at it this wipe (None online yet) even without all the turrets set up. My only other complaint is I wish the base had more storage but we placed a bunch of drop boxes around and made it work anyway.

[@BruhDoor]

Please do another base like the vulcan or vulcan mini, I've always loved smaller bases which you can fit almost anywhere without having to worry about if you can fit a compound down or not.

[@mattn7415]

Subbed. YT took their time recommending you to me via the algorithm. Detailed explanation and excellent editing.

[@konohrik4659]

I messed up a circle base, looked up solo circle base and this fits perfectly with my mistakes haha! Hell yeah I subbed!!

[@centurynight4196]

I absolutely love this base design! I'd love to see it enlarged to a quad or more base size.

[@SaltyGrub1475]

To enlarge this base make a 7x7x7 triangle foundation core. Instead of a single hexagram foundation, off of all 3 sides with one raised triangle foundation, make 2 hexagrams with 2 raised foundations on each side.. You can figure out the core on your own however you like it.

glad to sub my dude. the base builds always impress, great work

[@jamaljackson4041]

I love this base. I'm building this on a server right now as a solo! The only flaw I see with this base is the lack of storage. There is not much room to store stuff. But overall, this base is amassing. I love the peaks, I and it is well protected. Well done Dust.

[@dustgg]

Shown in the tour is about 18 large boxes worth of storage - also keep in mind there are spots for 9 lockers in this base and 3 more in the externals.. if you're putting kits in lockers you shouldn't have a storage problem with the remaining 18 large boxes!

[@dylanrodgers8863]

I built this a few days ago as a solo had zero problems with storage

[@fletchershepherd6893]

Bit late bit a fix is putting boxes in compound or some of the lockers turn them into vending
