As someone with 7k hours of Rust under my belt, i consider you the new 'EvilWurst' after his disappearance into fatherhood. Now you might not consider that a compliment, but i consider it one of the bigger compliments i can give a builder. Love your content! I incorporated these pixel bunkers into his 'Tycho'-style bunkers, double the bunkers double the fun. I feel like a lot of your designs are just as timeless and in all likelihood will not be patched.
I very much consider it a compliment, and in fact, taking on that role was one of my goals. I want to have every single technique on my channel at some point. And thank you so much :)
thank you for this explanation , i played along time ago and watched EW after I myself dissapeared into fatherhood. Finally got to play the game again after 5years of not having time for it and i just started looking at new buildings.
I love how you break down the actual reasoning behind all these different builds work. From pixel gaps to stability bunkers, you explain them in a way that makes it so we can apply that knowledge in game at any point on what ever we are building!
That's the point Sir! I just want people to be excited about Rust building an understand the principles so they can do all the stuffs. I do base builds also, but those are almost an excuse to further show how these techniques can be integrated into a base, again, so people make their own :)
hey I used this pixel gap for my tc room and just got raided, the raiders didnt get to the tc despite using 12 rockets on my base, now im rebuilding and setting up a compound to defend anymore raids, its worked great,thanks so much!
I got raided 5x in 3 days this wipe, but a single pixelgap disconnectable external TC you taught saved my whole base and wipe. I loved it, but now I love it even more!!!
great video, nice to see you doing more advanced building stuff again. with good methods and a dive into the actual mechanics involved in creating said method. excellent video.
Those figures sound like the game's coded limit. The fact that you two managed to get this technical info is insane! Amazing work as always, keep it up!
you have taught me so much about building and i love the way you break everything down and even provide tips on remembering methods like the subscribe spellout to remember that you have to go out 9 when making offset bunkers
This is wild. Well worth the effort it took me to be able to accurately learn how to set up the floor height difference. I can't believe how well it works for pretty much any design. I just now got a honeycombed hexagon core set up with each individually separated triangle made out of hqm and I can access the tc, and 5 lockers now from it. It alone costs less than 100 hqm to maintain. So if you splashed it with rockets to take out two sides at a time, it'd still take you 45 rockets to go all around and get everything. That's nuts for such a tiny footprint with no sort of external parts to make it work! Thanks for such a thorough explanation.
I am having a lot more success with the hqm bunker when i place the smart alarm towards the middle of the triangle and the TC is placed across the back wall, the long way I'm finding that I also have more success if I walk starting from the center of the square, to the back left corner as shown in the video. I think this changes the elevation enough that it makes the bunker more usable/reliable. running directly to the left increased the elevation too much. I've had success with the hqm bunker 3x in a row so it's feeling pretty reliable.
thank you I have been using the gabe method for ages as i couldn't get the others to be consistent for me but this on has never failed and is hqm love it
Again, as I've mentioned before, the music is great; your topics and your delivery is impeccable and I was wondering about the oddities I've had in re-creating your previous videos with being able to pixel gap - now I know that jumping resets the offset and how the gradient works left/right and right/left squares - maybe the mesh vertices are off on the corners a tad Y - I love that "bug" in the engine and showing it with such honor for the scientific method and the ability to teach it to a 5 yr old at the same time ;) is astounding! I know how why my previous attempts failed, I've grown a lot if not the most from your channel, both as a builder and finding my joy and passions again in life as a whole; I really share a deep appreciation for your blessed be ending please don't lose that part of you :) P.S. or any part of you the care that you use to give back to those who inspire/create ideas and the credit where it's due is a lost art - thank you very much you've helped me on many levels!
Your explanations behind the methods earned you a sub.. thanks... cuz im looking to learn building, and look to know the "why", rather than the "how"... thanks so much
To ensure perfect gap every time, while doing the dance, you should sing on hot mic "never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna turn around..."
How in the world did you find this out?! Was it that you wanted the mod for something else and just stubbled upon it? This is incredible! Great job, can't wait for the offline raiders to face a 15 rocket TC once they reached core 😂
I’ve been watching your discord for 6 months and I still have no idea how you and your cult followers come up with this stuff in the first place. It’s absolutely amazing to me
I have that in a base core right now. that's actually why I decided to go and figure out a method for this that I find reliable :) It's a concept I'm calling "bait core" I'll do a video on soon
@@GameLightz wait, so you have a technique to do a small metal gap in front of a large HQM gap already? I thought I would have to figure it out myself.
@@chexo3 it’s the same technique as in the Grail v2 video. The difference is using the jumping/dance method to allow for big enough gaps for HQM. The second layer will be the same technique as Grail v2, technically a bigger gap but almost certainly impossible to see the HQM behind.
So i was tinkering with this on a build server and found that you can actually make a 1x1 square pixel gap room off of this. You just have to raise the triangles a little to be able to put a lowered square foundation off the triangle on the right and a regular height one off the left. Then you do the triangle floor and then attach a square floor to that (over the lowered square foundation) and add the half walls in between the two squares. Hard to explain in text lol but it works and you get a pixel gap 1x1 square. I was able to squeeze a TC, 1 locker and 1 vending machine behind it that is all accessible. Not sure if it is at all practical but I thought I would let you know! Maybe you can find a better use out of it :)
THE VIDEO WORKS! IF YOU ARE HAVING TROIBLE WHEN YOU TO THE WALK FOWARD AND BACKWARDS THEN YOU ARE PROBABLY NOT GOING FAR ENOUGH IF ITS NO WORKING!! AFTER 30 MIN I FOUND OUT LOLand you have to have a good specific angle to get tc + lookradious 500 might help
Friends, I use a translator, so the message might be a bit distorted. So, if you have done everything correctly, you will see the slot between the two hqm half walls, if you see it but cannot open TC, try to break the low foundation and put the foundation again, but already connecting it to the foundation that was originally higher, so that all 3 foundations are at the same height. Also turn the smart alarm (I use it so it is at the same height as the slot) with the antenna to the right. These tricks have helped me do almost every time the hqm gap every time I manage to put the foundation between the low and high foundations, like on 2:59. Hope this helps someone, good luck!
great video GameLightz but quick question do you know if this works on console. because i tried and tried again but it just hasnt worked. but keep up the great stuff, my favourite Rust content creator.
Very informative video, thank you. But I've been building both pixel gaps(vertical, horizontal) from a ready-made base for a long time. Yes, it is more complicated and not such an accurate result. This is the price for the possibility of building from a ready-made base.
HQM method works for metal but not HQM. Done it a bunch of times, never fails for metal, always fails on upgrade to HQM, are you sure this wasn't patched?
@@GameLightz I must be failing the looting. How precise is the angle for walking forward and back between the foundations? Could botching that part usually produce metal-only gaps?
Yeah, I tried several times, and I think it worked once, but never with HQM :( Maybe they changed something, with some update or fix Flat terrain as well
The HQM method is very unreliable for me for some reason. A few days ago it worked every time, but now the center triangle is red 80% of the time, and even if I get it theres a chance that the gap is unusable once upgraded to HQM. Has something changed?
@@GameLightz Yeah I intuitively thought the further you stick them toghether the better, but I guess it doesnt work like that. I got the technique down now, and its super helpful. New Video is great btw!
Using dance maneuvers to manipulate the height of foundations for a pixel bunker is both genius and hilarious.
As the Spiffing Brit would say... perfectly balanced. Not broken at all.
I guess only real gamers call "moving forward and back + jump" dancing😂
@@GetFitEatRight love spiffing brit!!

Holy crap man thank you so much!
Of all people in Rust, GameLightz would definitely be the one who would protect us from the Balrog. Excellent video.

Holy schnitzel, is the the most game changer of a video for bunkers in a LONG time.
I've said it before but I watch a lot builder's and your presentation is always second to none
Holy crap man 😭 and I thought I was a half decent builder. The precision of this is insanity
this is deep, arcane, eldritch knowledge. well done

Very important to subscribe :)
how you even figured this out astounds me, will definitely give this a try for hqm pixel gaps.

Hey outta all the pixel gaps videos, I'm glad there this one breaking down how and why it works.
I love making these :)
I can't tell if one of the motion maneuvers is required or if it's 100% trolling. Well done.
lol
Excellent tutorial. The detailed explanation for why this works is especially appreciated!
what a nice game mechanic
Metal in front of HQM, like the double metal pixel bunkers you showed recently but with HQM in the back. Stealth *and* protection.

What the hell kind of line dance is this?
i like how you explain it why you do it and for that you get my subscription

This is brilliant mate!
Glad I watched this before FP takes the vid down ( like they did with Gabe ).
OMG ❤❤ this is very cool way to do...👌👌👌 thank you sir
I’ll be dipped. Thank you!
The goat never fails
This is so simple even a naked could do it! But really thats super cool and clever
finally we understand the truth behind the forbidden art of pixel gaps~
breaking rust!
God I've waited along time for this video
I use gabe's roof method. I use it every wipe and have never had a problem accessing through the HQM gap
The problem with the roof method is consistency. It's easy to fix though.
I thought you were doing some kind of prank video...but no. Just more genius.
My sub for a whole week! I hope I earned it :)

avantgard methods! love it!
Man those edits are great
Bro you and gabe blow my God damn mind
this reminds me of a glitch in castlevania 2
im having a hard time looking into the small gap using boxs and other stuff. Im able to build but takes forever for me to open the cupboard
Someone showed me this method like a year ago and it blew my mind.
YOU DID IT!!! AWESOME!
Imma miss the campfire
what a DLight! love u king G
Nice one. Great explanation as well
you are the GOAT

bro, i was getting crazy how to do wall pixel gap, watched ur vid hit a like subscribe and it worked! (subscribing and like is necessarily)
