Rust Refreshed: Witness’ May 2020 Base (Trio-Small Group Base) | ±26 Rockets!

Today we’re refreshing an outstanding base by Rust Youtuber Witness! His original base was a strong base released in early May of 2020 meant for dedicated solos and duos. While it already had many great features- I feel I was able to refresh it with more, while increasing storage, and bringing down build cost / upkeep. This refreshed version greatly improves maneuverability and makes having a trio much easier.

Rust Refreshed is a series where I refresh bases with new features, lower build costs and upkeeps. Some of these bases will be mine, but some will be viewer suggestions and community bases that can be improved or “Refreshed”.

Special thanks to Witness for giving me permission to refresh his base from May 2020. Be sure to check out his original video for the base!
You can use either his electrical system in his part 2 video, or my improved electrical system down below.

Hey everybody,

You can now check out the base in person on the Builder's Sanctuary build server by using this "share code":

I've made some slight improvements to deployable placement, but it's otherwise the same design!

Enjoy. :)

Nice work man! I like the changes and updates you made, and how you presented the build. Hats off to you sir. Keep it up.

[Theoriginalmr]

Great work on a good build. Keep up the good work +1

[jormungandr]

Decent changes, however being able to store your minicopter inside the base would be nice. You can technically fit it in, however the garage door leading to the base from heli pad will not close because of the wheel or propeller sticking out.

[ratgaming]

[ethanchaiko]
