The Simple Solo Base. -Easy to build, Hard to raid, Rust Starter base-

Tired of complicated designs that just leave you fumbling or farming?
This solo base is designed to be quickly slapped down on wipe day and survive long enough to upgrade safely. With an incredibly efficient and easy to place starter, this base quickly expands into a much more complex base for raiders without the need for complicated gimmicks or tricks.

I've started to notice that keeping a low profile is often more effective at avoiding being raided than having a thick af base as a solo. This seems to be a perfect build for me. Well done!

It’s good to see a traditional base design again rather than the new castles everyone does. Thanks for your efforts

While I'm a designer and have no issue with such a presentation, I'm aware that many people would need a 2d plan (squares and triangles on the ground) to comprehend what the base looks like, as many people have harder time following such a design (especially on a live big pop server). So my suggestion would be to include that as well in videos, either at start or during the build, so they can make mental maps of what goes where.

One tip: When you're trying to fit boxes into an area, it can help to temporarily rotate nearby walls so the hard side faces inwards towards the boxes.
The reason why is because the hard side is considerably thinner than the soft side, and will give you more room to fit boxes in.
After you're done putting boxes in, you can just rotate your walls again to however they were originally.

Looks like a fun base to try. Also love that you showed how to set it up as a 1x1 and build out from there. That makes me wanna try this base and makes it easy to understand.

For anybody like me who doesn't use lockers, you could also use the "locker spot" as a climb-up to your roof. Either way this is an amazing base and really helped me because I have no idea how to build. Will definitely be coming back to this in future wipes!!

I love small compact bases, this one looks like a good fit fit me, gonna build it later this day.

And in additional, we can add a stability bunker at the entrance with access by the top. Nice video! thanks

Came here from Willjum, and I must say your videos are always impressive. Keep up the good work man

I actually have opted to putting my repair bench on the top shelf of loot room and a bbq on the bottom. I then put small boxes under them. To me it added a little convenience, and I found my self still having plenty of storage.

This base has been a raid magnet for me. It’s small, but not necessarily low profile enough to deter anyone from thinking this base is worth. I’ve been offlined every time I’ve put this base down.

Brother I just got to say that TC room absolute beauty

[vincentmoore]

Amazing base Lay-out I definitely recommend this base for duo or trio or solo me and my friends use it for trio

[BeefGold]

I like this one for early wipe. I appreciate you for offering something for everyone. I don't like everything you put up, but I always watch anyway.

The upkeep for this design is:

thanks for the very good and clear video, I finally got a good base ( I’m 35 hours new to rust) appriciate it 💪🏽

I watch some Rust base videos where some guy is floating about adding walls all over the place. Although they're amazing enough, they're not really a practical approach for a solo when you need to get something down quickly. So videos like this are perfect. Get your 1x1 up, get your stuff in, then work on expanding. I love it !

Looks alright. I've never built one of those "build 9 triangles out and then build a square then break the triangles and build back with squares and then blah blah" in an active server.

[JeffBourke]

You fit an electric furnace BEHIND the locker and setup industrial conveyors. This lets you use the original furnace triangle for a fridge.
