Thanks for the video. I also prefer building from the shore onto the water. However, I do have a couple critiques about your design. First of all, I see no reason not to start off with all scrap metal walls. In the beginning, scrap metal is a much more reliable and abundant resource. In fact, until you get a tree farm it remains the most abundant material. Additionally, scrap metal is much tougher to destroy than wood. With metal walls, barbed wire and wall spikes are unnecessary. I often do start with a wooden bridge, because i don't really care if those panels get destroyed. They can easily be replaced.

Thank you for posting. Great ideas for a 1st base.

How about on top of the civic center low roof? You only need to defend the low side, maybe the one corner you build your stairs up from your dock! And a machine gun or two will do that handily. If you want more time to get more kills, build a defensive dock further tiles away from wall?

Really enjoyed your video. Great setup and to the point. You do not drag on about each item and such. I get that some die hards are probably mad about mods. This is a tutorial not a how to grind video. These are the way to show how. You did it very well.

The factions will tear through that the minute you reach guys with guns. it'll take all of about 10 seconds of gunfire to destroy a wall while you're trying to defend and then they're inside. If you build on the water, they will just attack your foundations and rip those out from under you (starting with the mutants faction). I'm still trying to figure out a decent way to defend and haven't do so badly so far but as you progress, it will get worse

lol i built on top of the refinery,npc cant raid me. they cant destroy my foundation. but they can destroy my walls buts its cheap to replace anyways

where can i get that mod :S

I don't mind mods at all - play the game like you want and is the most fun for you, is my take on it. Speaking of mods - can you say where you got them from as I wouldn't mind using them for a creative world take on things to test different things. Like how to build defenses for mid to late games where most of all the attackers are ranged and just blast your base ignoring the spikes and shyte.

Great video and commentary , is there a chance that you share mods ?

Haha, stopped being a beginner base in the first 3 minutes!

😂

you definitely play rust you can tell lmao

This game... nope. Constant dying of starvation because hunger is so fast and food so slow to respawn or grow...

bad base, better u build on the rock and the only jop u must is shooting the enemys so u need no walls and other defens stuff - simple
