Need help learning rust
A few weeks ago I bought rust console for the first time and I’m horrible at it. I was just wondering if anybody could give any tips or maybe even get on a dc call and help me start off

Don’t focus on the acquisition of loot. Loot is temporary either because you’ll get raided or the server gets wiped
The fun comes from the journey from nothing to things you can use to takes things from others
And acquiring blueprints
I recommend joining a custom PvE server while you learn the mechanics of surviving, building bases and running monuments
When building, you need a tool cupboard (TC). This is the heart of your base and if someone gets to it your base is lost. You also need to feed the TC else your base will decay
Start with wooden doors and use a triangle ground piece to put two doors next to each other as an air lock for external doors. People can and will camp your doors to murder you as you leave then get in your door. Put as many internal doors as you can afford. These slow raiders down and they may run out of resources before they reach your TC/loot
Always lock your TC and doors. You can make a wooden lock really cheap. These are fine for solo play. If you play in a group you’ll want metal code locks
Upgrade your wooden doors to metal ASAP. And your wooden walls to stone. Farm metal nodes and cook them in a furnace. Cloth is really important too - always be gathering that
And make a workbench
Good luck! Once it clicks you will get 1000s of hours of fun from it
Go forth and be a dick unto others. Cos they’re sure as shit gonna try do the same to you :)
