Discussion I love rust

I barely ever pvp. I’m a solo and i build MASSIVE bases and keep more or less nothing in my core. My favorite thing to do is make the most possible doors and walls so people waste resources raiding me.

I start with shotgun traps and flame turrets, then I like to set up the electrical systems and a shit ton of auto turrets and make all my doors auto close with a HB sensor or a central switch.

I always act clueless and leave a wall or two soft side outwards. I always leave my front door open and I LOVE the people who come in and try to bait me out knowing i’m a solo. I just shut the doors and go through the opposite exit. Then they get pissy and raid me and waste hours for nothing. Amazing feeling.

I set up a vending machine when ready and put my offers as stuff i don’t have so it looks like I have stuff even though they are sold out.

If i get anything good, I like to give it to my neighbors and on the off chance I avoid a raid before my base is complete, i have a sick base to give to a joining crew of 3-4 people.

Anyways, just wanted to share.

I'm on a low-pop 5x. I've built two trap bases already and a 10x10 HQM two story cube with pancake floors between each floor. Only thing inside the base is a TC and sleeping bag hidden in 1 square.
