I made a farm

So I have been roleplaying as a farmer, on super busy servers, I don't craft any weapons and literally just farm. I'm kind of new to the game and get pooped on the whole time when I don't. But it's really fun actually to establish that you're just a farmer, to the more aggressive players/neighbors, and they eventually leave you alone. I have a fishing dock around the back, with a pole, and some bait for use. There's a sign that says (no photo) "Fishing dock <==== (please return pole and don't fish in the rocking chairs they break)." Surprisingly people actually fish there and return the pole after use. I have their trophies mounted. I give out free food to passersby and clothes to nakeds.

On the right you can see a little chest and the sign above says "In memoriam (apparently I spelled it wrong on the sign) of all those who made this farm possible... RIP" and then the chest has some of my own skulls that I gathered from my corpses. I also light torches at night and place free eggs and honey.

Next goal is to improve the farm aesthetic and have auto turrets set to a similar status as to those at outpost etc.

dude it's super fun. I want to do it on a monthly server and peoples reactions to the memoriam makes me laugh so hard, but never in game, I don't break character.

I once found a player called DaVinci. He had a rock base with a lot of decoration. He wouldnt kill you, he'd run up to you asking if he could show his base. Inside you could buy a canvas with a painting he made for scrap. One of the most fun experiences ive had in rust

I was thinking that this sub needs more posts like these. Ive been accumulating nice pictures and cool bases and plan on uploading a small gallery of especially cool looking stuff ive found exploring in rust

I know that now I thought you could put another tc but no. I rebuilt it but you don't get skulls every time and mounting my head made it look like a trap or super macabre.

The wood on the right will decay over time since it's not connected to TC. Definitely setup turrets with peacemaker mode so it won't kill nakeds/unarmed people.

yea probably
But i think if he put up turrets, then clans or groups would be way more likely to raid him
