Yeah I really appreciate this, my friends didn't get on last night and one of them usually builds so this was nice for my first time really building on my own.
I've started to notice that keeping a low profile is often more effective at avoiding being raided than having a thick af base as a solo. This seems to be a perfect build for me. Well done!
I use a raised 1x1 with an airlock using half walls first to look like raised foundations. More than enough room for a solo, I never get touched. Keep it as stone w/ metal door/garage door and it looks like a noob base with nothing in it. I've gone days and had dozens of AK's and Bolties inside and no one is the wiser lol
As a solo, despawn all sulfer and boom before logging off each day. Despawn or use up everything that would be considered profit on a raid. Keep base small only showing stone on the outside, use metal and garage doors within just in case. Stay out of chat and dont let anyone kill you near your base or follow you home. Do all that and your chances of being raided are very small. You can also split your loot between multiple small bases to be extra safe. I never ever log off with even 1 piece of sulfer in my base, so that at least i know if im raided that it costed them greatly with little to no profit.
One tip: When you're trying to fit boxes into an area, it can help to temporarily rotate nearby walls so the hard side faces inwards towards the boxes. The reason why is because the hard side is considerably thinner than the soft side, and will give you more room to fit boxes in. After you're done putting boxes in, you can just rotate your walls again to however they were originally.
Looks like a fun base to try. Also love that you showed how to set it up as a 1x1 and build out from there. That makes me wanna try this base and makes it easy to understand.
While I'm a designer and have no issue with such a presentation, I'm aware that many people would need a 2d plan (squares and triangles on the ground) to comprehend what the base looks like, as many people have harder time following such a design (especially on a live big pop server). So my suggestion would be to include that as well in videos, either at start or during the build, so they can make mental maps of what goes where.
@@Reksmore It's definitely needed/appreciated! I dont want to watch half your video again to see the layout as im building or planning stuff. Thank you
For anybody like me who doesn't use lockers, you could also use the "locker spot" as a climb-up to your roof. Either way this is an amazing base and really helped me because I have no idea how to build. Will definitely be coming back to this in future wipes!!
@@deity6569 not if you upgrade your loot room to sheet. It's way cheaper to raid a couple sheet doors than it is to raid through 2 sheet doors and sheet wall. And it's much harder to obtain armored doors than simply upgrading your base
@@Sandman_3279 true but either way in this game if someone wants to raid you you’re getting raided regardless. especially if you’re like me and play solo. i’ve been offlined more times than i can count. got home from work today to see i was offlined 😂 no matter how much i upgrade, if i have armored doors, or if i build the beat bunker video i can find on youtube.
I actually have opted to putting my repair bench on the top shelf of loot room and a bbq on the bottom. I then put small boxes under them. To me it added a little convenience, and I found my self still having plenty of storage.
Looks alright. I've never built one of those "build 9 triangles out and then build a square then break the triangles and build back with squares and then blah blah" in an active server.
For people who bought the Homestead DLC: you can place a vertical barrel next to the TC and get some extra space for more loot in. It's like a Large Wooden Box but easier to fit. With this base layout I am able to fit 4 Large Wooden Boxes, 4 Small Boxes, the TC and a Campfire in the main room
I watch some Rust base videos where some guy is floating about adding walls all over the place. Although they're amazing enough, they're not really a practical approach for a solo when you need to get something down quickly. So videos like this are perfect. Get your 1x1 up, get your stuff in, then work on expanding. I love it !
This base has been a raid magnet for me. It’s small, but not necessarily low profile enough to deter anyone from thinking this base is worth. I’ve been offlined every time I’ve put this base down.
Currently living in this base, someone tried to offline me and gave up 2 doors in, I think once they saw the garage doors they decided it wasn’t worth it. All they got out of me was some lantern fuel and possibly some homemade shells from shotgun traps.
@@WannabenerdOfficial Reksmore and (i think) leftyp have similar designs with different storage ideas. A non breaking roof piece bunker, and about seven big and some small boxes takes me through without raids.
Can you post a link or video title description please? I use reksmore single bunker base design for a few wipes, but thought maybe of something more protective.
since its non symetrical there are clear limits to what you can do as of expansions. Shooting floor would be hard to design in an effective way, and adding peakdown gaps etc is gonna be a hassle aswell. only thing you can really do here is upgrade and honeycomb
but it is symmetrical and there is plenty that can be done with that layout. As others have pointed out that entrance can easily be turned into a stability bunker with some 2nd floor access!
Amazing base design, but please include the costs next time. EDIT: Costs for the base, w/o the deployables, WITH the honeycomb included (assuming you go for 1 Gdoor): 2 215 wood 13 260 stone 1 100 metal
Im taking a lil month-2 month break since they didnt add any cool seasonal events till likely christmas but im looking forward to maybe expanding to something like this when i get back on
Brother, I got a sweet 2x1 you should try out, it’s a solo raiders hidden gem for sure, I knock down 4x4s with it and can hold tons of loot and blend in with new players
Very nice creative interior and design but unfortunately sheet metal doors are the bane of any rust base, doesn’t matter what the design is or how well you seal it off. I had 4 doors break and let in on my loot room today. I have a pretty solid sealed off 2x2 with an airlock. They just break down the sheet metal doors like they’re cardboard
I've used this base design for 2-3 wipes now on 2x servers and I love it, it has great storage and Ive also put a secondary airlock with a shop front window and a roof exit. The only issue I've had is I'm getting raided through all of my sheet door and garage doors to get to TC and Loot room. No one has raided through the honeycomb and instead just raid all of my doors, is there any better way to prevent that other than armored doors?
Hey Reks, I have seen a number of videos where you have a triangle TC room or locker room with a window access. If you get raided, is it possible to replace the TC/locker in that same triangle with the window access? I have had trouble with trying to do this, wanted to ask if there were any tricks to make this possible?
so if you get that locker taken out you can go inside and replace the locker then f1 kill to get back out of the triangle (you'd go to the back of the triangle and place it against the window) For a tc, if you also use a frame, no not really it'd be hard to replace
at 3:30, when the TC room triangle goes up - for some reason my base won't let me build this. I tried taking down and replacing the TC to make sure it fit but it still wouldn't go through. Any ideas as to why? It tells me 'cannot build in this area.' I thought it might be because it was clipping through the door frame but you managed to build it here anyways.
Kinda wish you spent more than 15 seconds out of the 10 minute video showing what you used and how to build the initial start up base. Considering that's why I clicked on it to begin with.
It’s good to see a traditional base design again rather than the new castles everyone does. Thanks for your efforts

100% it's better to just not make enemies and not lead them to your base. Next best is making it look too small to be worth raiding

I do sometimes include an overhead PoV while building, I didn't think i needed it here, but i'll include it more often
@@Reksmore It's definitely needed/appreciated! I dont want to watch half your video again to see the layout as im building or planning stuff. Thank you
@@Mr__Chicken I'll make sure I include it in all videos for build/expansion parts going forward then!
@@Reksmore allways great to have an layout plan. Also would love an calculation how much wood/stone you need for the layout - usually a great bonus
I always look at Footprint + Tour before building a base
For anybody like me who doesn't use lockers, you could also use the "locker spot" as a climb-up to your roof. Either way this is an amazing base and really helped me because I have no idea how to build. Will definitely be coming back to this in future wipes!!
The only issue I've seen with that is that it's MUCH easier to raid through your doors and get into your loot room by going through 2-3 doors
@@Sandman_3279that’s always the issue, doors are still easy to get through. Wish it was tougher.
@@Sandman_3279 regardless if u have roof access or not they’d still have an easy time going through the airlock straight into loot room

I love small compact bases, this one looks like a good fit fit me, gonna build it later this day.
And in additional, we can add a stability bunker at the entrance with access by the top. Nice video! thanks

Came here from Willjum, and I must say your videos are always impressive. Keep up the good work man
Thanks! means alot
The upkeep for this design is:
1829 stone
166 metal
Too much for such a simple base. I have an even bigger one and it's only needs 750 stone and 400 metal
@@kinglinkerbaan On a low upkeep server its not too bad actually

Too many people may have seen it a lot so people know how to counter
Brother I just got to say that TC room absolute beauty
thanks for the very good and clear video , I finally got a good base ( I’m 35 hours new to rust) appriciate it 💪🏽
Currently living in this base, someone tried to offline me and gave up 2 doors in, I think once they saw the garage doors they decided it wasn’t worth it. All they got out of me was some lantern fuel and possibly some homemade shells from shotgun traps.
Glad to hear it!
dont forget metal ramps in the roof honeycomb. really helps deters raiders..
It's a good amount of storage, but I think I'll stick to the 2by bunker. Very little extra in upkeep, but with two walls cost to TC.
Which design you mean? Is it from reksmore?

Amazing base Lay-out I definitely recommend this base for duo or trio or solo me and my friends use it for trio
I like how you’re teaching us at literal warp speed.
Sorry, the habbits from playing are hard to break sometimes. I forget how quickly I'm doing things even when I try to slow down. Working on it!
@@Reksmore all good! Lol you still seem dope so I subbed
I like this one for early wipe. I appreciate you for offering something for everyone. I don't like everything you put up, but I always watch anyway.
I try to help people as best I can! I appreciate you watching and commenting
You know it’s a good day when Reksmore uploads.
o
7:02 putting wood to show that you can get to the back furnace was a nice touch, idk if I've seen anyone do that
You fit an electric furnace BEHIND the locker and setup industrial conveyors. This lets you use the original furnace triangle for a fridge.
10:05 this made me chuckle
good vid
Instead of windows I like a low wall half wall combo. Gives access still and you can't get through without breaking it
You should add a material counter to your video so us viewers can know how much it will cost to build the base.
Awesome base though, thanks!
you are criminally underrated my guy, cool voice to listen to and great builds for us solos out there, love you
Love the idea, will give it a go on next weekly wipe there's no limit on how much you can expand from using this base as a core and extending
since its non symetrical there are clear limits to what you can do as of expansions. Shooting floor would be hard to design in an effective way, and adding peakdown gaps etc is gonna be a hassle aswell. only thing you can really do here is upgrade and honeycomb

Very interesting idea. Love to see this different crazy options that literally anyone would think
No one would think*
Glad you liked it!
Strong, for the size. Like it
Raiders dont think twice when rockets are spammed
It’s also good if you want to put an e furnace in one of the loot rooms
Ill be using this 😊
Thak you so much this will hopefully keep mee from getting offline raided so much
Tbh i just learned now that when a hammers equipped you can pick things up... lol
definately would make that last door a double as the doors get a bit cramped
Thank you so much I had my best wipe I ever have had with this base i even got external walls on the outside thank you 😊 I subscribed
Hey I am so sorry to disturb you did you keep it as it is when you made a compound or did you expand above im unsure what to do with it now its done
@@hannahmezza7605 taller
I’ve take a break from Rust for a couple of weeks but will use this for a quick slap down when I’m back on the grind. Great work Reks ❤
breaks are important for sure!
thank u i had the best wipe yet with this base
very good, easy to expand
Liked it so much i sub your channel. Thanks from all those solos out here.
Glad you liked it!
This base is a pain in the ass to build
Great video really helped me out and it was my first time building a base myself because usually my friend does it himself
Amazing base design, but please include the costs next time.
EDIT: Costs for the base, w/o the deployables, WITH the honeycomb included (assuming you go for 1 Gdoor):
2 215 wood
13 260 stone
1 100 metal
Survived a 3x loot server that was up for one month, lasted the whole month with this base.
Happy to help!
Ty bro I’m not a hardcore builder and this is exactly for me
Im taking a lil month-2 month break since they didnt add any cool seasonal events till likely christmas but im looking forward to maybe expanding to something like this when i get back on
HALLOWEEN????
very good video
Great video! But what is the build cost?
Nice video. I might be wrong but I think that a window frame's softside becomes hard *cough* with a roof shelf connected as you've shown.
You're right!
perfect base for a solo
guess i will be building this base for now on :) , thank you for another great video :)
Good luck!
Awesome base helped me so much thank you
This base design without fail always geta offline raided, even in low pop servers in the absolute outskirts of the map, must be cursed
Beautiful base design bro
Nice design.
I'm curious what the upkeep would be on this.
Someone wrote it in
Love the video just stzted playing rust around a week ago thak for you for ghe help

I tried to follow this and my god without a overhead view I messed up so many times
I’m new ur way to fast for me to even keep up
I’m new and I froze it after he did each section. Sounds like a skill issue. Welcome to Rust
yeah fr hes so fast at building i know he has too many hours
Great video what’s the song list
1 wall & 1 Doors to TC same for loot room or 4 doors. That T3 makes it more through walls
Great video as always
Glad you enjoyed
Trying this out today
Good job reksmore like always keep it up! 👍👍
Thanks, will do!
Awesome but I’m lost I’ll have to watch this video like 5 more times
a farm bot.... that resonates with me because I feel like that's all I've been doing is farm!
I built this and someone just raided trought the roof...
Awesome base man, lovely video aswell, was great to watch and easy to follow. Subbed :D
Thanks and welcome! Glad you enjoyed
Love you vids man easy to fallow along and good tips, keep up the great work.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
this was very helpfull tx
Thank you this really helped
Nice build my guy!
If your trying to see how to build it clearly turn down playback speed.
Another great base thanks!
Rotate your tc 90 degrees for even more large box placement
I’m using the base design right now and a clan gave up on raiding me
Nice!
I'm not claustrophobic but this is giving me claustrophobia
Do you know the exact wood and stone you need for this?
Just subd. Love your stuff.
as a new player id like to see how you obtained these insane amounts of materials to do this
Just farm bro, if your location doesnt have anything in store for you then move
hes playing on creative
Awesome base but how did you teleport through the roof like that?!
Him much do I need to start this base I love it

On x2 people just satchel raid because its pennies to satchel raid its alot stronger than people realize. Doors are by far the weakest item.

Same did u get it figured out at all?
Same issue here
What materials are needed to build this base?
the way you move around your screen made me dizzy AF i regret watching it
becaıse ypu made a shelf in touch with it, that window is hard side no matter what.
Kinda wish you spent more than 15 seconds out of the 10 minute video showing what you used and how to build the initial start up base. Considering that's why I clicked on it to begin with.
Love the design! FYI, it's very jarring when you shake, jiggle and spin your mouse around when explaining stuff.
I'll work on doing it less!
in the furnace room when i try and make the shelf, whenever i deystroy the half wall why does the shelf itself break too?
Great base but a guy destroyed my WHOLE roof but still a good base and I forgot the honeycomb on the roof
But your base survived! that's the important part!
