I came to the comments literally just to say this. Absolutely fantastic choice in the video, the closest a video has ever made me feel to actually trying to get that crazy bag home as a solo. That quiet, nervous terror of “just make it back to base”. Bravo Willy J

[@christian_gobrecht]

100%, such a consistently brilliant use of silence throughout the video. really a masterclass on editing this kind of video

[@lukesaunders5676]

The suspense that you built by stopping your commentary after finding the P2 at thirty-two minutes was genius! Good craftsmanship and film making.

[@jesniels]

Agreed, well edited !!

I have never played Rust in my life. But one day, youtube recommended me your video. I have been watching every single one ever since. You commentary is so calming, and It feels as if I am playing with you. I can figure this game must be very frustrating to play as a solo, but you make it look so easy. Love the content, and I love your passion.

You have no idea ... Solo is brutal

[@shiny1556]

It’s so rare to hear a Rust update that people almost entirely love. It’s so fun to hear when it’s been a cycle of “it’s over” and “we’re so back” for the past decade

[@kopicat2429]

This is the "We're so back!" part of the same cycle no?

[@derpderpin1568]

I mean for the game to still have the population it does and be as old as it is is really just a testament to how great of a game it is. "Bad" Rust is still one of the best and most played non-f2p games ever made. Seems like the cycle is working just fine.

Wiljum casually aquires AK from a milcrate "GUYS! LOOK! Armoured single door!"

[@noobkanon2]

I guess cause it's pretty common for players to drop an AK at some point, but would have to tech tree to armoured door?

welcome to willjum. the most chill rust player that's even calm when he gets completely raided. makes rust seem so playable, until you hop in and realize it's a different game from what you just watched. makes me feel like playing sometimes until i remember he has like 10k+ hrs on the game.. hahaha!

Willjum actually expanded his base during the day for once, and now I actually can see what he’s doing.🤣😂🤣

[@Survive2022]

I agree. It's not just him though. I believe it's easier too build and upgrade at night, because you can't be seen as easily. I watch a few other KZbinrs and they do the night building thing too.

You could place structures that look like you are much bigger than you are. Place walls with doors that appear to enter the boulder/hill. Everything is new and they won't be sure whether those are part of your base. The object is to get them to waste rockets on doors that don't matter. Might as well place beds and kits behind each one.
