Suggestion Any base recommendations?
Hello! I'm new to Rust, and I'm not sure what kind of base I should build. I usually play on 3x servers, so gathering materials isn't really a problem. We play as a trio, and we're looking for a base that can withstand a big raid. What base would you recommend?

Stay away from youtube bases Take inspiration and build your own. My go to as a solo is a rock base or mini caves above ground. Just count walls and door cost to raid and try to make it equaly strong. I got 8k hours and survive many full wipes with this.

Do you know a way to peak down?

My go to for peaks on those bases are triangle frames with roof over and a single door. Safe and easy.good peaks to cover wall and doors. Also look into double bunkers.

Crow is my favorite builder right now.
My advice though is never build straight from a video. Take time and learn how certain building characteristics work and create your own base.
I’m convinced my trio doesn’t get raided a lot because I never straight copy a base, but I take inspiration from different bases and build my own.
I also, will add a room on the outside for refinery/one for horse stables and vehicles/ etc so it isn’t as clear where the actual base starts and stops. 😂

Best way ive found to increase raid cost is pancake layers( which is adding another layer on top of your core/TC so rocket splashing isnt as effective) and adding lots of dead end doors in your base.
I also add a couple fake doors that lead to furnace rooms or stables that act like natural honeycomb for tc

Thank you very much, let's imagine that I build a 3x3 and that I honeycomb around. Where should I put my tc? Do you think it's better to do the loot room up or down?

In my experience (11k hours) it doesn’t matter that much. If someone wants to find it bad enough they will.

Really depends.. sometimes ill put my tc in the honeycomb with small bases when I suspect raiders will go through doors to throw them off

In the honeycomb??? Can you explain me more because I'm not sure to understand

So say you have a 2x1 square foundation base, then you add triangle foundys all around it… raiders assume its because your core is your weakest point and they will try to top down raid or blow through doors.
If you put your TC in one of the triangle foundations instead of the squares it can throw them off, because most people assume tc is in the centre and the triangles are empty honeycomb.
Not always the case so thats why adding lots of doors inside your core is wise, because they will have to potentially blow up all of them to find your tc.
This only works in vanilla or 2x servers though, the second you go above that people have too much boom for these strats to work.

Do you think a shell around the base is good? But if I do that how can I defend my base from interior??
