RUST - The SOLO Stronghold - Rust Solo Base Design (2019)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.พ. 2025
- Welcome back to another Rust Base Design for 2019. The SOLO Stronghold rust base design is a strong and easy to build base design, designed to be a solos rust base design, but can be used for solo/duo/trios if required. This rust base design contains features such as compact item placements, undrainable shotgun traps, a bunker if you like, a 'starter to main' build style, and loot spreading to increase the raid cost of the base. This Rust base will cost more than 1,371 Explosive Ammo to raid DIRECTLY to the TC and well over 1,971 Explosive Ammo to get all of the loot. This rust base design is extremely strong for its cost and can be used for solos, duos, trios or small groups and can be expanded to include more honeycomb if desired. It also has the option to expand to add a 2nd floor above for extra storage, or a shooting floor.
Rust base designs need to ensure that they are strong and with this rust base building tutorial i will show you some great rust tips and tricks as well as some rust advance building tricks.
This rust base design is a “starter to main” build meaning it’s built in stages and is expandable - you can live out of the starter and expand the base in stages as and when you have the resources to do so.
If you are interested in Rust bases, i have a number of designs on my channel for rust solo bases, rust duo bases, rust trio bases, and rust clan bases, as well as the odd rust trap bases; these can all be found in my playlists.
Leave a comment for what sort of base you want next!

2 years later and this is the best damn design Ive seen, Use it to this day and can 1v3 while being under raid pressure. Great Vid Man!
Thanks man! i love how compact it is, it just works in many situations and is easy to put down
Only been playing for a few weeks and have been solo each time. Is it that great? If so I'll build it today because, though I love the other base design I use, it can be somewhat difficult and time consuming to keep up with the rss needed to prevent decay.
Hey man thanks for stopping in. My base designs are focused heavily towards being easy to build. They each start with a small and secure starter base and slowly expand out so that you can do so when you have the resources available! If you ned any help just let me know and remember the cost is in the video for all bases and the upkeep is within the TC at the end of tour.
I Would recommend “the fortress” one of my latest videos
@@xRaWYT thank you. Ill be sure to check out the video. I'll most likely build one of them on the server today as well!
But i can not close the Bunker
just build at normal speed, and let the viewer speed up the video if necessary. good base tho
Hey bro - its difficult to find a good speed for new and experienced players, hence the speed i chose - all parts can be slowed by those if required hence why i show the speed increases also :) appologies for the speed
u can slow down ;p
You can go 0.25 speed so its not bad
you guys tried listening to the music slowed down
Is it bad?
this is by far the best base ive built in a while, thank you for being so clear with the instructions, great video
Great to hear!
since i saw this when i bought the game, it has been my main base on every wipe and server. i love it, and have yet to be raided! thanks man
No worries bro !:)
Dude... loved the improvisation of using the Tier 1 and the double door to create an airlock... thats always been my biggest issue with "Starter to Main" bases. Good on ya!
Aye ty for noticing :) I thought it was a good feature
I subscribed just because your thumbnail was unique and gave good picture of what the base would look like but mainly i subscribed because you made a bar graph showing your analytics.
Thanks man I really appreciate that! :)
after watching a vid from Aqua, it convinced me to buy rust 3 days ago. i picked up a lot quick watching more videos, but have been raided 3 times probs due to my poor base designs. this is definently the perfect solo/duo/trio and i love how you did it. keep up the great work, you earned a sub from me!
you wanna team?
Thanks bro I really appreciate that :) you can join my discord and pop me any questions about rust or need help
I appreciate you showing the phases from starter to end. Plus how you set everything up is so nice so you don't move anything later. Subbed sir!
Thank you bro really appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed
Mad video and nice base raiders will not expect you having 2 bunkers which you can keep best loot in good job man keep up the hard work bro
No worries man :D Hope you enjoy aha :D
You earned my sub! Using this base design from now on. Solo gang.
Dat Not Me aye thanks bro I appreciate that :) stay tuned for more
Perfect build for the price. I recommend to put rocket splitters on top. I’m 100 gonna use it this wipe. 👌👌
Ayeee let me know how it goes - and yeah I forgot to add the extra walls to prevent splash damage
xRaW good thing you look in comments 🙂
Do you mind explaining what rocket splitters mean? I'm building this base right now to "practice" til next wipe.
Københavneren! Yes ahaha :)
GuitarSolos you add half walls to honeycomb on the top and it prevent people blowing up multiple roof peices together with splash damage
Great build, great video. Much respect for making useful diagrams and calculating explosive ammo cost to raid. Updoot.
Happy to help out bro ! All my raid costs are calculated by going through doors as most people will - there’s too many different possibilities going through walls / roofs / foundations to show it any other way
I love the way you presented this awesome base. Liked, commented, and subbed!
Little Steve thanks bro I really appreciate that :)
I honestly love this design,it’s spacious enough for even 2-3 ppl to live in if needed and it’s great to build on the 5x I play,Subbed to u my man😁
Glad you like it!
Good Job)) Many resources... Design nice
Thank you! Cheers!
I have to say that this is smart nice work geting the idea!!!!
thjank you :D
No proply
The sunken furnaces is a great idea.
Free extra space in your base :)
I think it's a great design definitely going to use it tommorow... And you earned a sub👍
4Clinch Gaming thanks bro :) glad u liked it :)
Great video! Looking into getting rust sometime soon! Will definitely be using your videos to help me start off!
Hey bro :D Sounds good to me - i have you on discord if i remember correctly so feel free to pop me any questions :D
Great videos as always. I always enjoy your builds and all the new and interesting ideas you incorporate. :)
Nathan Rasch thanks bro really appreciate it :) I’ll be trying to get some more interesting ideas out soon
Love the design. Similar to the one you had last month or so, but feels more open. Keep up the great work! :)
Hey bro, yeah it's a pretty similar footprint (which im sure you've come to expect with the limited placement of foundations these days) but with a more 'roomy' feel and good storage/strength :D happy u enjoyed man :D
Honestly love the base design
Thank you, really appreciate that
Interesting video, like the base. Recently bought rust. thx for the video
Happy to help out bro - feel free to jump in my discord if u wanna ask anything
This is a masterpiece of a base
Glad u liked it
Subbed but felt you went to fast when you were actually building the base most keep it slow and simple with plenty of explanation while they are building, Just an idea for the future.
hey bro sorry about tha, i try to go at a speed which works for new players and experienced players to follow along - u can use youtube settings to slow down if you like - i try to keep the videos as short as possible, but i will take note and see if i can expand upon my current method for future :)
Fantastic base using it for my solo base definently keep up the great work
GhoulSeno thank you man!
Great vid dude!
Feel like this could be a good core for a bigger group base as well.
Keep up the great work!
RivalBlue89 happy to help out man! And yeah it’s certainly easy to expand upwards and outwards for anyone’s needs :)
Yo you have some really good base builds, subscribed.
Thanks man - glad you enjoyed them :)
How to Watch: Play in 0.25 speed, and view the video 25 times :)
For just watching - should be fine at normal speed. If you’re trying to follow the guide in real time whilst building - that’s not what you’re meant to do xD the idea of it being built in stages is to ensure you don’t get killed / ganked whilst building. Memorise each expansion and do it part by part when it’s safe to do so. If the parts are too big - do a little bit, run inside to safety, do a little more and repeat :) if you need any help just pop me a message on discord
Very efficient base design with your signature tier 3 to tc. Sadly it kinda requires garage doors, turrets and shotgun traps to be very effective.
Draxis32 yeah it’s still doable without the shotgun traps etc but obviously shotgun traps turrets and garage doors make it better
Yes
Ur vids are very helpful and no nonsense... u earned my sub keep up the great work
Thanks bro I appreciate that
great base design, gonna use next wipe! :)
Thanks bro’ I appreciate that
xRaW gonna build it right now man
Great Base Design Video! I will be sure to use this in a wipe!
Zaiced happy to help bro!
I just started playing 4 days ago. So far every one of my bases have been raided. 1st time because I had a wood house. 2nd time because I had wood doors. 3rd time because I didn't build honeycomb around my core. So now I just built a version of this for my 4th base. I messed up on the shotgun trap part because I didn't watch carefully enough. But I still hope its good enough that they dont raid it. Or if they try they give up after too many rockets. I also added a shop front to one part so I can look outside for door campers.
The shotgun traps don’t necessarily increase the raid cost - rather just make it more difficult to raid and can sometimes save you from a raid. At the end of the day if someone wants to raid you they will no matter the cost. We just like to make it as difficult as possible for them to do so :)
I can guarantee this actually works, I’ve used it for months now and I’ve only gotten raided once by a group of 4 but they didn’t succeed, and I didn’t even have honeycomb
Happy to help :D
I’m building this on console as we speak! It’s looking great!
Happy to help!
Good job bro nice speed this time aswell
Happy you enjoyed bro
the foundation under the air lock can be 4rocketed and then the wooden half wall its cheaper going true the foundation than the 2sheet metal doors and a stone roof or metal roof. going true the foundation only costs 4rockets and little bit of low grade but going true the airlock is 10/6rockets and 20exp ammo
the potato yeah it was meant to be metal too :(
I'm new but these are some nasty traps and the hidden tc and furnace floor amazin.
Ahah glad you enjoyed them bro :p gotta keep those raiders out aye
@Angela Merkel I made it sheet metal on the whole back wall an foundations then put one layer of honeycomb triangles over the sheet metal an made them stone so it still looks like a stone base.
Just tossing out my opinion on the video style. I prefer the way Evil Wurst goes about his base descriptions as opposed to only music and sped up upgrading parts. For me, the speedups get me a bit disoriented with the layout and it's a bit harder to follow along without having to pause/slow down the video.
Respect the design choice for making the video shorter and whatnot, just something to consider because I know some people prefer to hear the base creator narrate the entire process as they go along. It can offer you chances to express your philosophy behind why you chose those layout specifics and offer simple alternatives as you go about the building process.
Bryan id like to give audio over the entire video soon - as of yet the extra time to do so isn’t something I’ve been able to spare :( and yeah much of it is sped up however these are only upgrades and you can slow them down via TH-cam if need be :)
I also missed out a 2-3 minute part at the start where I usually talk about the base and al of the items inside it
I have not seen this yet. I regret not seeing this
No worries man!
Great video, like a few other comments said tho, just a tad fast. Especially for someone like me who is terrible at base building. I have 80 hours and most of what I built was 1x2 and 2x2s because simple.
Sorry bro I struggle to get a speed that works for new and experienced players so I try and place it in the middle somewhere :/
@@xRaWYT honestly after watching it a few times and going back its fine. Can build it from memory now, great base :)
toxicpebbles sorry about the bro! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Great vid!
The Pencil thanks man ✏️
Awesome build bro!
Ayeee thanks bro
Харош стартовий дом топ зарубіжний ютюбер
я щасливий, що тобі це подобається
@@xRaWYT О ти відповів круто)
Thanks. Good design
DoYouHaveAMinute? Cheers bro!
Put a low wall in front of the front door shotties. Helps prevent grenade death of the shotties
Yeah good idea :)
Does this only work if they don't know where your TC is? Cause if they do it's only a 6 c4 raid through the stone honeycomb and metal roof.
Leo Yuan there are a LOT of different walls and roofs for them to be able to guess 1st try where your TC is - it won’t happen xD
Would it be possible to add shooting floor next time with peekdowns
Yeah you can add that to the base rather easily
Good job
Thanks
I think this is a very good vase design om going to start using it in my wipes great base
Im glad you enjoyed it :D
Привет я от вудкока дом шикарный спасибо)
Гы
Nice base 👍
Thanks bro :D
Thanks for the base design. I got raided and they actually failed because they couldn’t find tac 😂
Tc*
Nice vid alex
Thanks
Love your designs! Can you make a build for building against rocks and/or under the rock arches that spawn? Really good for saving on honeycomb cost.
Thanks man i really appreciate that :D I would o however the rock formations vary from wipe-wipe and therefore make the bases extremly hard to replicate :D
@@xRaWYT How many hours of play do you have?
Hey I can’t get the bunker to work. The triangle piece can be placed without having a half wall and when I break the half wall once sealing the triangle just stays connected. Any help?
Yeah so you cant have the bunker AND the trick by door - it's one OR the other. You may have to mine out the section by the door and JUST have the bunker :D They dont work together
less than 10%... wow.... I subbed just for that not to mention the great content
Thank you I really appreciate that
whats the song at 3:30
I dont remember im afraid man!
yes,thats what I need,detailed video with showcase. yas
happy you enjoyed it :P
Thats a Lot of work
Aye its managable man :P
So that people cannot splash damage down from the roof you should put half walls on the interior of the honeycomb on roof(or at least make it metal). As is the bace is 6 C4 to Main Loot. If possible you should work on a three metal walls(12 C4) to main loot design.
I know it’s a solo design but at least 2 metal walls are needed. Because this is a metal 2x2 with stone honeycomb.
Also if you do read this another good suggestion is to put a rocket to main loot counter at the start
sam patterson it’s meant to have half walls the roof I just missed it 😂 all me other bases have it :( big rip I know ahahaha
I would spend the extra stone and have the extra upkeep to make the roof less allowable splash damage, they can completely open it up with 12 rockets
Hey bro, you cant entirely open the base with 12 rockets, you'd need to do that x2 to get into the whole top of the base - however yes i would usually use half walls around the square lootrooms on the top too, i forgot in this video as it was my first in a few weeks off :D
look im not talking down on your design, i think its a great compact base and its actually something i might use in the future or use parts of. But without that half floor properly sealed, it is only 12 rockets to get tc, furnace center, main loot and the wb room. you can spend 4 more rockets and open up the last square and triangle near the entrance although i personally wouldnt do that if i found main loot and tc. I get that you said you would normally seal the top properly but others might not know to seal the top half floor and seeing as this is a guide without that important step this base is not as secure as it should be. P.S. I do have a video of me raiding this base on a creative server that i can show you based solely off this video without the properly sealed half floor showing that it is 12 rockets.
the big lootbox inside the triangles drops the loot outside the garage door when broken, so maybe only good for small loot boxes?
Yeah u can push it further in - is only for bad loot :)
@@xRaWYT yeah, i figured it out, was abit hard to get it right
Also you can use a flamethrower to break the tc/tier 3
You can but it takes a lot for the tier 3, u can destroy the tc easily like that but its much harder to loot! Used to be fully unlootable but not anymore
Is this really practical though? Won't Breaking down those doors and workbenches early take way to much resources?
Tier 1 is rally easy to destroy - but you’d hope that if oi have 500+ scrap to upgrade it to tier 2, that you’d have enough for a few spare tools to knock it out
@@xRaWYT True, I'm still kinda new lol. I just built this, it rocks.
Robert Vizzo no worries bro! Let me know how it goes
So far so good, day 4 no offline attempts.
Day 3*
I switched the tier 2 with a locker but anyway still a amazing design thanks
never mind haha great base. keep it up!
Thanks bro I appreciate it
Ty big help but, I have to agree with the others way to fast in parts, but still a great work of design. Keep up the good work!
ty bro!
Don't know why but when I copy this build exactly I cannot get the bunker floor to work with breaking the twig I always gotta use stone and pick it out. any ideas what im doing wrong or has it been patched?
Yeah you cant have the bunker as well as the half wall entrance peak spot. You have to have one or the other :D
using foundation instead of the half wall entrance for shotgun traps the bunker won't work either way for me
Strong
Super strong
Parabéns mais um inscrito br🇧🇷🇧🇷
Vdd kakakakakak
Is it possible to get this base a shootingfloor and a roof access so u can land a heli on the roof?
Just as a spitball idea while watching, it seems like you could pretty easily remove the roof shotgun trap and have a triangle tile from the wall instead as a platform to jump onto what would be the roof above, creating a shoot. You could then from there design a shooting floor and further adding roof access in any orientation you wanted with the roof floor plan.
Bryan yeah what Bryan said pretty much - either where the shotgun trap is or the turret :) add a jump up to next floor
Very "Stong" Base design, like your Intro is saying! ;D Jokes by side, good Video! Thanks! :)
Ahaha yeah i fucked it bro :') Thanks for checking in
Now that's a stong base
Happy to help!
Subscribed nice base :-)
Thanks man :D
ok im confused... during building it looked like you did a square with a triangles on 2 sides.. but then the expantion pic looks like there is another triangle on the right side. what am i missing
It will be as shown in the picture at the start! I show the footprint also from above if you can’t see the shape clearly :)
I'm a noob, can someone explain why i need to put garage/large doors on the triangular loot stashes when the boxes poke through and can be accessed/broken and looted? What is the point of the garage doors?
I just did the placement wrong - if u place it properly then the loot cant be oppened without getting the door. It's a difficult one
@@xRaWYT Hey thanks so much for your response. Have you got a video or is there one around of someone getting the placement right? I'm having noob-related issues.
Also how many rockets through the doors and a bunker
I think the raid cost shown in the video is directly to TC using explo ammo... but direct to TC would be 1 stone and 1 metal wall (I believe). I would obviously recommend upgrading the TC and main lootroom to HQM and then honeycomb to metal (should be easy for a base this small) and that’ll increase the raid cost to 23 rockets direct to TC only - then add more stone honeycomb and you have a 27 rocket cost direct to only one lootroom / TC - then more to raid the rest of the base :)
yo raw u are a GOD!
hey bro, u the god for watching :)
You should start adding the doors to the amount of metal so that it is more accurate
Can link you that if you want - just join the discord and apop me a message
Yay learned to make this base yesterday! love it. Any other good solo bases ? and thx
Happy to help! I would check out "THE BULL" if i were you, that's perfect for solo bases
Great build but i had to watch the video in 0.75 to actually see what was happening but still great build!
Diamond Cookie sorry bro - it’s hard to get a good speed :)
@@xRaWYT i just wouldn't speed up the building it self but upgrading can stay :)
Very nice base - but there is one thing that all base builders fail to do with their youtube videos... make a "build a long with me" video... Where the viewer can be in their rust game and with their TH-cam app on their phone they can build a long at a normal un-modded pace. The stress of building a base on a live server means you make mistakes and it's hard to remember the process when a video is sped up so much. Maybe try that for your next video - this is not a criticism, just an idea to set you apart from other channels!
Hi there, I try to break my bases up into small chunks so that players can memorise the starter - once the starter is down the safe and you can expand slowly - I try to build at and a pace that works for new and experienced players but it’s a hard middle ground - you can try and reduce the speed of the video using TH-cam settings if that helps but I’ll try and check my speed for future builds :)
@@xRaWYT hey man that's fine, like, you're better than most who do these sort of vids and this build is something I'm about to do myself tonight. But a sort of real time "build along with me" style video could be cool to see as well as this type of video, no channels seem to do it. And I am a bit of a noob rust player and I've tried doing a few base builds from TH-cam and almost all of them go wrong because you're having to rewind, dissect, and remember what comes next whilst fighting away any potential foes! It's probably just a noob problem but I reckon the majority of people watching are like me haha
@@benmols Aye it takes a while :P I'll see about the speed for future builds, i try to keep the length down where possible :P
can you not loot the boxes when it sticks out a little even tho the garage doors are closed? thx
Not if they are locked :)
@@xRaWYT ok thx, gonna try this build looks really promising, great video thumbs up
wzl87 no worries! Let me know if u need any help
Dont know if someone already asked you this, but why do you place 2 workbenches?
You dont need multiples - the only reason to keep lower tier workbenches is obviously to keep experimenting with them - or if u cant be bothered to destroy them - or if they block the tc etc
@@xRaWYT Experimenting is the only reason then i think :) thanks for your answer love the vid!
I cant figure out the stability bunker floor i break twig and the floor stays up gaining stability from the foundation next to it ? can someone tell me what im doing wrong
As long as there are no walls supporting the floor other than the twig, it will work. All the other foundations must be raised around it, other than the 2 used for the bunker.
yeah I have figured out it is being supported by the airlock floor and if you replaced that with a foundation it would then work but you would lose the shotgun traps there. Upgrading that foundation and putting two either side to hide that its armoured is what I might try next wipe, cheers xRaW.
No worries bro :) let me know how if goes
I’m going to use this base next wipe it is a good design
But I might upgrade some walls to sheet metal
And the bunker entrance and maybe tc to armoured
I’m going to go onto a build server and test what works best
Thanks bro I appreciate that - of course let me know how it goes and I’d love to see what you do with the base!
Not sure those raid costs are quite right. You say 1371 to tc, but 3xsheetdoor are 3x63=189, 3x garage are 3x150=450 = 639, and i assume with the bunker, 1 sheet floor = 399, so +639=1038? What did I miss?
At the time of the video you couldn’t loot the TC without destroying the tier 3 workbench so the cost to destroy that is included :)
@@xRaWYT ahhhhh ofc nice!
can u have both banker design and traps?
Yes :£
If i upgrade to armored the tc s walls, maybe the amount increse? I m still using your duo trio bunker base but with some Little difference like armored wall around the tc. Cause the splash damage when the raiders arrived down with Rocket can easily destroy the tc wall, It sonly 7 hq a day to have the tc armored
Yeah that’s good bro
Does the bunker work for anyone else cuz its not working for me. If i break the half wall the triangle near the front door wont allow the game to break the triangle on the bunker
Should do - always best to try and build on a sandbox server first to test it all. At the time of uploading and even up to a month ago when I last used this bunker type it was working
This is a great base
However a lot of the chests are exposed so raiders do not have to clear the garage door. Am i missing something or is that how it is?
Yeah most of the chests aren’t lootsble through boxes and you would place most of your good loot in those - the rest would be shit loot
Would code locks work? The loot might drop inside the garage door
@@GirtV2 i put code locks on them just for safety so hopefully they do drop insude
+rep you are awesome,i sub
Thank you! Really appreciate that my sude
nice base bro, 1+ sub
thank you man i appreciate that :) Glad you enjoyed!
Damn this is good just slow down build speed a bit but I can still understand it when it’s fast
Hey bro glad you liked it! Sorry about the speed! You can try slowing down in the TH-cam settings if that helps :)
I spent a stupid amount of time trying to line up these boxes to not stick though the garage door, only to realize its impossible. Whats the point of the garage door on the right side of the loot room? and the one beside the research table? I just started Rust so I'm lost on the benefit.
The garage door increases the raid cost of the base :D if you place the garage doors before u place items it shoul work
looks pretty stong my dude
Ayeee ty
How do I reach for the TC with the Tier 3 workbench in the way?
Ezra loot trough the gap in the top
Does the April update mean you can still put down doors with these items clipping?
You have to place the doors first, then open them and then u can place items where they would clip
xRaW ok, gonna skip the double doors as I already have a t2 at my old base, just don’t want to mess up the item placement and have to redo it all!!
