The Throne - Strongest Solo Base 2024

- The Throne -
Welcome to the Most Cost-Effective Complete Solo Base I could make.
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
The external TC bunkers no longer work, so make regular externals, or my newer pixelgapped externals. Good luck!
* CONSOLE COMPATIBLE too, with one slight modification (keep reading).
Rusticated code:
rsc.td/3TFJ
This is a high-tech, modern Rust Solo Base, which can also be used as a Duo Base.
This base incorporates many building tricks, including pixel gaps, offset bunkers, and even vending-machine bunkers, to thwart offline raiders.
You may get raided, but you will never be taken out of the wipe if you use the bunkers to store loot when going offline.
In addition it boasts a beautiful full widegap shooting floor, raid-defense bedrooms where you can spawn to instantly be at the roof peeks and shooting-floor retake peeks, a clean, turret protected roof, and a minicopter garage.
But what makes this Rust Solo Base unique, is that it will do it for much cheaper than any comparable alternative.
And, optionally, it can be expanded (at any time) with a sleek Funnel Wall Mini-Compound, which I also show how to build in the tutorial.
______________________________________
PRO TIPS (BUT JUST THE TIPS):
1) IN CASE YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH THE SECOND FLOOR PIXELGAP:
Hold left-alt while pixelgapping to make sure you don't have random micro mouse movement when clicking etc, if you think you might and the technique doesn't work.
This problem is a result of inaccuracy in the very beginning, when pixelgapping.
So again, hold left-alt when you do it, to prevent rotational micro-movements and be very deliberate about sticking the second triangle as deeply as possible into the first.

It hasn't been since the days of Evil Wurst that someone has been this dedicated to making meticulously thought out designs as well as incredible instructions that not only show how to use multiple advanced building techniques, also explains how and why they work and common things to avoid when doing them. Everything I've learned about building has been from you and you deserve to blow up! Thanks again for another wonderful video.

[@nedryyy]

Evil wurst just uploaded others designs

[@augustosannita9329]

@@nedryyy Really? Where? I didnt see anything on his channel. God, i miss his buildings, he was so smart as Gamelightz now is.

[@nedryyy]

@@augustosannita9329 he would say at the start of most of his vids “provided by x, idea given by y” plus he has his own build server where he would fly around checking out bases to upload

[@rpnp2]

@@nedryyy yeah not really. he was one of the first guys to actually tell people raid expense paths, layouts, costs. Every base was "provided by x, idea given by y" because of his discord was dissecting base designs for his videos. He had a family and career and to say he just uploaded other peoples designs is kind of a lame perspective.

[@nedryyy]

@@rpnp2 I don’t let fan girling get in the way of obvious truth. Just because he said raid costs or has a family doesn’t mean he didn’t upload other peoples ideas which is fine but he wasn’t some master base builder coming up with all these ideas on his own. You obviously never played on his server where he literally asked people to showcase bases to him for his videos. Plus he took credit for a stability bunker design calling it his own creation which has been around years before he even started KZbin.

[@DavidJohnson-ux3pd]

Your videos are incredible. I love the "intelligent silliness." Not to mention your videos are generally the most comprehensive ive seen as far as Rust building is concerned. Please keep it up.

[@Neymx]

Just a quick reminder: Don't forget to ALWAYS deliberately place the triangle floors from the outside-in! :D

[@Joojinho]

[@ericstevens650]

For anyone having trouble placing the top half-wall at 7:13 ("too close to another building"), I tried a floor triangle instead of a triangle frame, and it finally worked for me.

[@varunanand1091]

BRO YOU ARE A GIGA CHAD!

[@GvyDskaChannel]

GODSEND!

[@DejaVuum]

I tried this and sadly didn't work for me, anyone else got any ideas?

[@E1025]

That is an exceptionally well designed base and an equally fantastic video to boot. What a treat!

[@Dodanos1]

HERE WE GO! I didnt even seen the video but I already know this will be my only base for the whole year! You are a real genius in this. Thank you

[@GameLightz]

Wow, thanks!

[@liquidamber8608]

I absolutely love your humor and presentation skills. The bases are a wonderful bonus! Love, love, love your work

[@thebushwook1e]

This is a new peak for solo base design, Great work man been using and modifying your builds for awhile now keep it up!

[@requium94]

You're the man Glightz! Whenever I've had questions be it here or on Reddit, you always show up to help. Thank you so much for your hard work ❤

[@GameLightz]

Any time!

[@flenser404]

Base Building 2023 won. Well done! Excited to put it on the map of future wipes!

[@TeaGuyTom]

Absolutely adore your builds GameLightz. I swear you make me outloud laugh multiple times in every video you put out. This is a brilliantly designed base. Definitely going try this out. Thanks for putting this together! ☕

[@GameLightz]

Damn, tea guy, I'm gonna blush now :) You're most welcome

[@mikeva3975]

You are the absolute GOAT. The instructions are so well explained and shown. Many thanks, old bean. Many thanks.

[@MrBPC76]

After watching this, I will always place my triangle floors outside in, even if I don't have a bunker. Awesome build and instruction!

[@Defonicx]

I just found your channel a couple days ago, you have some of the most informative videos. I know I will be using this from now on. Thank you!

[@sharmen1569]

Best edited rust base building vids on youtube and 10/10 meticulously crafted bases. GameLightz Criminally underrated.

[@justv7536]

It's good to see the project you were workshopping way back get fully-realised, keep up the good work funny man

[@AFKBank]

ive been waiting so long for a new solo base! and i cant complain you delivered with outstanding possibilities and everything is just so awesome haha thank you for saving the day Glightz

[@GameLightz]

Sir! Glad you like it :)

[@guitarsolos89]

You just made my Monday better! Can't wait to watch this when I get home 😊

[@GameLightz]

Hope you like it!

[@decker9911hg]

you are incredible mr lightz. Amazing builds and you have an amazing community. Thank you so much!

[@AnOhioArtist]

Always excited to see your new builds

[@snake4546]

It’s almost like you are forcing me back to playing solo again to try this masterpiece 😂. My favourite build of yours so far, well done!

[@GameLightz]

Well it also works duo :P

[@TheMrFaceRape]

Thanks again Gamelightz, will be using this when I want to put a bit more effort in than a rock bunker for solo wipes.

[@vMoppyMedia]

This is the most incredible solo base I've seen. It's super advanced and not for beginner builders, but provides sooooo much utility and usefulness.

[@kaiohshin2322]

Love the funnel entrances. Such quick access.

[@DJMahler310]

oh i see what you mean now at 13:44 at first, i couldnt get the pixel gap for the tc, but then i went to the other side like you suggested if it doesnt work,; and then went back with the twig triangle frames, and it worked that way. it took me a second to realize what you meant, had to problem solve it in my head for a little bit. ok. cool. back on to the practice build. thanks as always gamelightz! seriously, you got some of the best tutorial videos. S tier quality.

[@jgbenadeaf6424]

dude thank you so much!

[@monstercatrs]

thank you sir!!!

[@danfitzgerald3176]

Another awesome base build and guide. I have been using the mini chad-shed mansion for my solo wipes, but I am really looking forward to giving this design a go. Building is my favorite aspect of the game, thanks GameLightz for always giving us a humorous, yet detailed guide in all your videos.

[@GameLightz]

WOW thank you so much Dan!!! I do hope you have a special role on my discord, right?

[@danfitzgerald3176]

@@GameLightz Just recently joined your discord, figured I'd see if there is anything else I might learn from the community there. I look forward to testing your future creations.

[@laddeman]

Extremely well made video, understandable even for the not so experienced builder! Will give this a go on tomorrows wipe!

[@yc3943]

Hey man, I'm usually a cave dweller but your base design made me come back to the surface, I have used it 2 wipes and loved it. for everyone having difficulty with the pixel gap, just press and maintain ALT key when doing the first part (so there is no micro offset ;)

[@mgoboski]

Have you built this post patch in December?

[@goosiewave]

@@mgoboski yes

[@mrmatthewpennington]

The pleasure is all ours. Cheers G x

[@TRaIT0rZ]

Liking the funnel walls boss, before i knew they were a thing i used to do them when i messed up external shells. Wasnt on purpose or as useful for sure but ill tell myself that so i can sleep at night. XD Keep up the good work GL

[@Atmos41]

Another technical marvel. Nice job mate :)

[@barles2702]

This is a beautiful base and video, great explaining and direction.

[@Timof2009]

This base reminds me of a car in the sense that it is a complex machine created by many smaller, simpler machines/principles. Great work!

[@GameLightz]

I love that! Thank you. I do try to remove any redundancies and make sure parts serve multiple functions. It creates bases that are way more technical than the norm, so a bit difficult to build in terms of having to pay attention to detail, but I think it's worth it :)

[@nyan7092]

I dont fully understand how you make a extremely consise and educational video on building while giving me a big grin ❤

[@GameLightz]

I don't fully understand it either, but I'm incredibly happy that's the outcome! :)

[@bossjjk5668]

I been waiting for a new base design from you glad u made a new one definetly gonna use those next wipw

[@reisfondation]

Hey Gamelightz, thanks for the design and the wonderful video. I built this base on my last 2 wipes on vanilla and i really loved it. I have some small suggestions tho: the turrets are quite easily to drain because of the funnel wall. Also I miss the bunkers from the grail.. but all in all the best base i‘ve seen so far. Keep up the good work. ✌🏻

[@GameLightz]

Good inputs, I'll keep that in mind. I generally use doors for the turrets so they're not succeptible to draining or griefing, since the turrets are useless when I'm offline anyway, I don't mind them just being closed up. Even better since they may stay there and help me rebuild after the raid

[@wmarvel]

Another masterpiece, thank you!

[@alphaskwurl]

A rather enjoyable video, my friend. And crazy base build

[@Wood1511]

Great video as always ❤

[@severalwhitespaces]

Looks great. I still build a variant of your temple base to this day as a solo. It works great, I love waking up to failed raids.

[@GameLightz]

This core is more optimized than the temple core. Smaller :)

[@Cazh]

I don't even play rust anymore but I still love your build videos. Genuinely works of art.

[@GameLightz]

Hope you get some time free to game :)

[@mul118]

Built this on a 3x duo, right by outpost. Didn't get raided even once, where all bases around mine did. That vicious barricade/turret ring seems like a good raid deterrent! 😊

[@adumm968]

I love spending time with you bro❤️

[@mongol35]

Thanks for another great base design gamelightz, hope you our feeling better

[@alexchambers382]

Awesome. Going to practice this and try it out next wipe.

[@Ritz552]

Lots of cool build tech in a small package, looks fun.

[@MrMakingwavesmedia]

Interesting design, might try it one day.

[@AutoTurret.]

Truly a work of art.

[@neethree5674]

The legend returns!

[@yottawatts9470]

Got rust this past week and I love making bunkers (diff game) gonna give this a shot. So far I’ve combined God Bunker with the Horizontal Pixel gap loot room into one 1x2 base.

[@PlebeianTribune]

Thank you for this!

[@johnnymora4039]

Been waiting for this ,building it now

[@comensee2461]

Thanks! I finally learned how to master pixel gaps. Also, you could in theory take a 2x2 and convert all honeycomb into pixel gapped bunkers. >D

[@GameLightz]

That is correct :) And nobody would ever know, looking at the footprint.

[@joshevans6041]

This is insane!

[@mentalist9690]

Every base gamelightz produces, insta classic! keep it up Goat

[@GameLightz]

Thank you so much sir!! :)

[@fiendishfong]

Thanks!

[@GameLightz]

GODDAMN IT THAT'S JUST FIENDISH

[@boondocksaint4563]

Your videos are fantastic. Best I've seen so far...sense of humor *and* thorough explanations. Question, why don't we upgrade the outer wall of the shoot? Would you be willing to add to this base and throw in some defenses from attack copters?

[@GameLightz]

Yo! Thank you! Of course you upgrade whatever you want to ultimately, but the outer wall of the chute would not add any protection if upgraded. Take it and add whatever you like! :)

[@kristjan113]

Looks like a stronghold! Will try it out most def! A request/suggestion though - Could you add the raid cost to TC and main loot storage count via the cheapest path also?

[@GameLightz]

There's no main loot storage. Raid to TC should cost metal+metal+hqm, or so.

[@sK_SK8s]

Noice, a floor gap certified build.

This base is nuts

brrrrrroooooooooo such a nice base!!!

I like your bases, they're great, but that funnel wall, i'mma start using that in everything!

It's just something I wanted to show integrated very cheaply in a solo base. It's cute :)
