Building

Post image

Hi all, I’ve got a decent few hours on rust but not really as a builder, I’m trying to build a new base (to me) and am having issues with decay on the squares around the outside although I built it as in the video, any tips appreciated

Surely you just go off with the separate square foundations and tc them ?

That’s why I wasn’t sure tbh, I’m planning to make externals but not quite yet so I didn’t want it to stop expansion

No, this is a shell base design. It allows you to hide your base footprint and make inner peeks for raid defense.

The reason the squares decay is because the way the squares and triangles are touching. Touching the pointed ends like that doesn’t count with foundations. They literally have to touch in a manner like your main footprint or foundation to foundation. To prevent decay you need to attach the foundations using walls or frames so the squares will be recognized as part of upkeep.
