20 seconds in and I have to say the best thing about this video is the fact you took the time to make sure this was do-able on console. I have 2K hours and watch every single one of your videos for most of my designs and sadly a lot end up being PC only or a few have niche workarounds. We console dwellers really appreciate stuff like this that we can do with no-hastle ❤

[RealStickyNicky]

I don’t recommend this video to anyone because I want it for myself, it’s THAT good. So here’s a tip to make up for my selfishness.

Came for the build. Stayed for the compound. Subbed for the "I love you."

[liscastro]

Oh God, I never imagined I could fall in love with a base.

[jahlert]

As someone who doesn’t like building massive bases with external TCs I always love using dusts builds simple and efficient

[flawlessfootball]

Not having as much time to play anymore really has made me appreciate ´´The Nook´´ and this base looks to not dissapoint either. Amazing as always

[spiro]

I built this last night on a test server..was a lot easier than I expected! Feel like I have a better understanding of some of the basic building concepts that I can use in my own designs in the future. Thanks for the guide 😺

If you are wondering, you can add a triangle hatch on top of the bunker and also have a level 3 in front of that window. I also expanded the top floor a little bit and now a duo can easily play out of it. Great base, very cheap.

Ive memorized this base build. I’m a paranoid solo who loves to hunker down in a little turtle shell so this really appeals to me. The only downside is how the storage space is truly elevated by having the DLC. Without it, you run out of space and have to either use the upstairs area or expand on the base free-hand. But that’s literally the only thing I’d call a problem

[bikelifedan]

I appreciate the Audio and stating what your doing so I don’t mess up something and get 3/4 way through and be like damn that was a half wall …

[benjaminholmes]

Also slapped a triangle metal ladder hatch on top of the bunker entrance. Also great for getting up and down. Can also be placed after the bunker is sealed.

So this is the best base I have ever seen. Only play solo and this is the exact base I want. Love stability bunker and this base doesn't even look like it has one

[tededwardsjunior]

I love that you can build this WITHOUT having to be able to "admin float". I don't really play on my own servers, so I can't "no clip" everywhere I DO play...nice easy design....easy to mod up so it's not the same "as seen on TV"...good stuff bro....

[Nahualaa]

Watching this over and over while I practice so this can be my go to base ... probably for the next few years 😂

[BosunRust]

Great base. I've been building this for years can confirm its a beast.

[Random-dqtd]

Need a WillyJ video using this base. Ultimate roleplayer base.

[HighMastermind]

i added some planters and an extra floor and this base is a legit powerhouse, everything you could need in one building and it's near unraidable

[hassankaram]

i'm 0.1 seconds in and can confirm this is a certified Dust special

[SaphireOwler]

I Have a question what is the ligh wall behide the worckbench (at 0:49) is that a rug skin or house DLC bundle ? Thanks alot
