I love this build! Takes the storage capacity of a traditional 2x1 and jams it in a 1x while also giving it the illusion that it has no room for storage. Great for sweaty servers.
only downside is the lack of sleeping bag. but that can go in a bush nearby or even on the roof, make people think you're a noob. I would recommend adding a bearskin rug on the ceiling of the 1x1, added comfort = healing when idle
One addition at 5:05. Before placing the 3rd box, place a fire right in the center of the 2 boxes as close to the boxes are you can. You'll still be able to place the 3rd box after that.
I'm pretty new to rust, and I really dig this design. A lot of space for the size without feeling too cramped. I've seen so many base designs that feel like a rat nest. I don't know how people live like that lol. Stresses me out just to watch people climbing over 10 different things and doing insane parkour just to get to their boxes. Definitely gonna keep a bag down on the triangle 99% of the time. I'm glad I saw that mentioned in the comments. I probably wouldn't have even noticed the lack of bag in the tutorial until I was respawning on the beach lol. I don't trust myself to only have outside bags
I do exactly this, but instead of the large box you place parallel to the half wall by the door, I put a grill and 3 small boxes. Great storage and rapid cooking. Besides, life ain't worth living if ya can't grill.
Having multiple 1x1 bases fitted out with specific things would be greatly beneficial. One 1x1 can be used for your farming, while another can be full of kits if you placed the 1x1 by a heavily populated monument, making it a perfect spawn point, and grub point as well. I find that having your 1x1 close to safe zones is key for early wipe needs is greatly beneficial after going nomad for the first several hours of server play, allowing the beach respawners/nakeds go HAM for any BPs after wipe.
That's how I always play. Multiple small bases within reasonable range of each other. Spread my loot around between them to limit liabilities and plenty of external bags near each for quick respawn. Single triangle foundation TC rooms tucked into cracks in the sides of hills mountains, too, for storing farm.
2 things could improve this: 1. By putting small boxes under T2 you can gain some more space and perhaps swap a large box for a sleeping bag. I think the sleeping bag could be placed in the 2nd placed box, and use the 3rd placed box to jump up possibly? 2. 2 Shotgun traps on roof facing in both directions, one towards door and one towards the back wall in case someone goes into the back wall, which they probably will. It’ll just make raiding this 1.5x1.5x1.5 base even more annoying. Dunno if this would even work but it could possibly make things better!
Bro... This is by far the most awesome piece of advise any beginner could get! No massive upkeep costs.. grind grind grind.. built it away from big bases and monuments crammed into a cliff... And youll be set for half the wipe. You can easily built multiple, once you start rolling. Brilliant for solos! Also: you can fit a sleeping bag and workbench in there! Place it in front of the workbench, open door and connect it to your doorway.
I typically have multiple 1x2 bases near my favorite monuments to quickly move around the map. I am definitely switching to using this base instead from now on. I agree that having a bag inside would be nice, but it is not the end of the world and make it look even more noob if your bag is on the roof or next to it on a foundation.
Only issue is the sleeping bag. I do something similar but mix up which side I put half walls on bottom and top, place tc against full wall, place workbench nestled up to tc, 2 large boxes, small box and BBQ finish out the bottom, then triangle wall pointy side aiming at tc and workbench (leave it wood to chop out when you move up to tier 2). Then bed at the wide part of that triangle as far to the back of the base as possible, second triangle sticking out above tc and workbench wall with 2 large boxes.
@@EthanRayburn69 I see where you are coming from, with the half walls being as expensive as a full wall, but the foundations are more and cause more upkeep (id test it but im not at my comp). So, no a 1x1 is not the same price as a 2x2. Plus when you honeycomb that is alot more ground to cover. Im not saying I would live out of a 1x1 as presented (i'd slap a bunker on the front, maybe a tiny second floor) but its a good way to save space and live in a tiny footprint. Or even setup as a forward base near scrap rich areas like launch site, then have a main somewhere else.
This sounds like a great base for me, pretty much ideal. Small footprint, not all that setup of a base with a gap, and still plenty enough storage until I get raided. Because we all know I'm going to get raided and not have anything, and never get enough stuff to warrant a bigger base. So why bother with anything bigger than a 1*1.
I suggest you build in a heavily wooded area with a lot of foliage. Don't cut down any of the trees and litter the ground with spikes and bear traps. Or build a small one story in a crack and surround it with walls, it'll give the illusion of a baseless compound.
if you have a bigger base with externals it makes raids way more difficult. In the last two attempts to raid my current base this wipe, raiders got up to my bunker and gave up. I don’t blame them since you cannot tell it’s a bunker base from the outside. If you have externals, even if they raid you, you get to keep your base and workbench which means you can bounce back very quickly and continue your wipe instead of starting fresh on another server.
I'm someone who almost exclusively played with friends and want to try solo more, I need to follow your mindset and just accept it so I can focus on getting better at the game.
Tip: if you are quick enough, hard side stone gives more leeway for placement, so it's easier to place and if your fast enough, you can rotate it back. Also with the campfire, you can put down a water purifier and place a water catcher on the roof, the water purifier takes up no space but it holds 2,000-2,500 ml of water.
"Every base is worth raiding" - Chad player with excess gunpowder and sulfur Jokes aside, I like this design and will definitely start using it since I seem to end up with 4-5 bases in every wipe to move around the map, since I'm rarely going to have a mincopter as a solo. Definitely seems great for a staging depot to convert your hard earned metal ore to frags while you keep farming before moving the stash under cover of night.
@@ThouArtOfWar0724 Hence the excess sulfur part haha. At that point they don't care, at least from what I've seen because I've had some bases wiped out for nothing (because there was nothing). Probably trying to take control of an area or flex their unlimited resources I'd guess.
@@Reksmore I keep my eyes out for builds like these! Interestingly, even on a 10x server, multiple 2x2s (not quite the same, I know) I built for the trio I ran with were immensely safer at storing loot and confusing raiders than the massive base we moved into afterwards. Also, thanks for the reply, I think you're the first TH-camr to do that for me
Working on a slightly upgraded version of this. The lower floor abuses bbqs and small boxes, currently offering 18 rows of storage, a small generator, and 3 small batteries. I'm also working with trying to add a "pancake layer" that both adds protection and a place for more (less valuable) storage. Also playing with an armored version that has stone triangle honeycomb around the 1x1 along with a stone pancake layer but it has an armored core. Working on ways to make raiding cost through the doors cost more to warrant the armor. Otherwise, sheetmetal is just as good. Thanks so much for the inspiration. I'll try to share if it ends up being worth it.
Love this design! It's like I knew how to build this all along but just didn't think of it. I tested it and you can add: 2 beach towels on the triangle with the workbench and instead of placing that last large box, place 3 small boxes and a campfire. Liked and Subed!
Just calling out that some recent update made it noticeably more difficult to get TC's placed like this with triangles poking into them than it used to be. Triangle first then tc is better now imo.
I like doing a tall 1x1 inside a fake "decayed" base for tricking folks into thinking it isn't active. However, tucking away a super tiny 1x1 somewhere out of view is exceptionally strong at a passive raid deterrence. Location is crucial for theses types of bases, and I'd recommend having multiple. They're so cheap to sprinkle around and if one gets raided it's no big deal.
For me a 1x1 has to be hidden in a dense forest of the normal travel routes. I’ve lasted whole monthly wipes just out of a 1x1. Making sure I recycle what I don’t need, use all the sulphur for that day and never store boom. Kits are fine as long as I only have 2-3 to fall back on.
I make the chad star, I never fight in rust, I don’t have a single kill on my record. The chad star is a 1x1 with triangles all around it, awesome amount of storage, and raiders think it is honeycomb
@@x60mmx unless it's an armored door, save the first door as a sheet door and once raiders get through the first door and see an armored one they might drop the raid altogether because would they chance going for foundations or honey comb? No they won't
@@x60mmx if they do then there is a decent chance it is actually honeycomb then that automatically increases the raid materials needed by a lot.. I would honeycomb the base and put 1 sheet door and 1 armored one, I would make my roof sheet metal and add a half wall on top for a layer on top and I would call it the "Chode" small, tanky and comfortable.
@Reksmore Great build I love the idea of a 1x1 base it's really sleek and stealthy. You could make a small build-up on the side and place a shelf on the upper half for 2 large and 1 small box more storage.
If you sacrifice the repair/research bench you can add another triangle layer midway up the walls. You have to angle it so the tip goes inside the front-middle of the workbench.
Could easily place a bag in front of the tier two you would just have to pick it up to use the research table or repair bench and replace it when done also you can fit a small box under the workbench as long as it’s a tier two or above and a lantern on the top of the tc or workbench for lighting without using the campfire now that nights are darker than a black hole inside a black hole that’s kind of handy since the fire burns through food you store in it as well as burning you if you aren’t carful in such a small base also make willjum proud and slap a bear rug on the roof to get 100 comfort under its head
looks great for the stealth factor but beyond that i have some reservations. it costs 75 stone less than building a 2x1 which allows for much more space, hence a sleeping bag and an additional door. a stone 2x2 is not the same raidcost as this to experienced raiders. your base obviously is 126 explo ammo to raid ( and gain all loot ) which is much cheaper and less noisy than the 4 rockets for a 2x2. also the conditional corners around the low walls will instantly give away that this is infact not a basic airlock 1x1. so to veterans this will be a more attractive target than a 2x1. while it looks nice i really don't see any advantage of this over a classic 2x1 as starter. which also gives you far superior options to extend. furnaces can't be emptied by doorcampers getting in. aaand altough i mentioned that already.... there's room for a sleeping bag inside. i enjoyed the well made video but i think the design itself doesn't really hold up to what you're making it out to be.
While I agree with some of your points, first standard raid cost is measured in rockets, which is equivalent from a 1x1 to a 2x2 to even many circle bases.. I honestly forgot most people rely on in base bags, I always place outside for starters as what is spawning inside gonna do if you're getting rocket raided. Hide this next to a clitt or in a dipp it'll pass by without most noticing And yes the half walls look diff than foundations but the fact that most people don't register that diff gives you the safety Yes furnaces being exposed is less than ideal, but it's a space over form. You at most risk 1 furnace to a door camper due to airlock mechanic
@@Reksmore you said it will take experienced raiders the same amount of rockets. while it's not a false statement, it's misleading as experienced raiders will get your tc for 66% of the sulfur it takes to raid a 2x1. smart raiders will spend 2 rockets and 14 explo ammo on your base since the usual benefit of rockets splash adds no benefit. having a bag inside allows to you spawn inside to either quickly replace a door or maybe db the surprised raider, etc. yes, outside bags are important. inside bags are far more important tho. i agree not everybody will spot that it's not a regular foundation because of conditionals, but even if not for that, your ceiling is at least 1,5 levels above ground level. if stealth is the goal i'ld actually prefer a 2x1 over the taller 1x1, in most cases. assuming there's a doorcamper you werent aware of and you get killed the moment you want to leave your base ( dying with your inner door closed and the outer one open ) all furnaces will be accesible. any time you leave your base you either empty your furnaces and not let them run while roaming or risk loosing everything inside of them.
@@Milo-il9qc Right, normally when I raid 2x1s or even 2x2s, I calculate out tc room and only blow that back wall typically ( I Raid with c4 ) Or I'd silenced explo door raid. It's not invulnerable, but the typical raid concern is the zerg that rotates clearing bases. They utilize rockets. In my personal exp, smaller bases are always less likely to be targeted, especially with a key lock. I agree benefits can exist for inside bags, but argue that on a 2x1 or 1x1 they are minimal at best. Id rather have a bag with a stash and sword near by for a door camper... than spawn inside again with him camping me. peak with your inner door guarding you before going outside? I understand your points, and agree, but these are issues that are not unique to a 1x1 and that the pros of hiding in a smaller base out weight the risks I respect your opinions and don't think you're necessarily wrong but also don't think you're necessarily right
@@Reksmore how do you calculate where tc is on a 2x2? unless there's stone frames showing through you can only take a 50/50 chance by blowing 1 wall. they utilize rockets, yes. but it would have to be a really dumb zerg to roam raid with rockets only and not some explo ammo aswell... i am not arguing against outside bags. but there is no argument to counter the fact that having both inside bags and outside bags is superior to only having outside bags. the angle your airlock peak shows is very limited and pretty much only helps against doorcampers standing right in front of your door. the furnace and 2 door issue actually are unique to your 1x1 tho, comparing it to the common 2x1 and 2x2 starters. i didn't post this to put you down or "be right". i respect the well made video, idea and the work put it on your part.
I like the idea of adding a half floor to fit more things into the 1x1. However, the first thing I am doing once I have satchels and enough sulfur is to raid all those 1x1 bases in my neighbourhood. The profit is usually higher than raiding larger bases that are expensive to raid. Most importantly, the loot is more meaningful most of the time. In those early raids it's a lot more likely to find crucial building components. In those large end game raids you have everything already. And when the base has no obvious mistakes (wrong materials used, weak side walls pointing outside), chances it's a profitable raid (20 satchels) are actually going up. And if someone has used wooden walls or weak side pointing outside, that's a perfect early eco raid. That said, I am not convinced of "the power of being stealthy" too much. But when it's a decaying metal 2x1 I will leave it alone and wait for it to decay down to at least 50%.
Making the outer triangle out of wood will make your base even less enticing to raiders, and doesn't decrease the raid cost after you've replaced the inner door with an armored one, the inner shelf should also be wood for reduced upkeep
Tip if your server has coffins you can add a half wall ring around the square part and put the coffins on the roof or if you wanna feel more safe just place the coffins on the normal ceiling which still lets you stand fully up
Im using 2x1 plus a triangle with the halfwalls in a hidden location as a starter base and end game base, no one seems to find/care about them, in it i can fit all 3 workbenches, tc, sleeping bag, research table, repair bench, campfire, 3 furnaces 6 large boxes and 3 small boxes.. Later on i sometimes add another triangle to add 3 more furnaces:))
Nice use of space. I would add that an experienced player can easily determine the use of a subfloor using a hammer to check stability. That said, misdirection in RUST is everything and they might just ignore you in this mini chonk.
Even IF they noticed something was up, the raid cost would still be the same as a 1x2 or 2x2 with no honeycomb. Most players do not even bother getting close enough to a 1x1 to see the issue with the foundations though. This base just screams "poor" and not worth 4 rockets or 2 & the expo for the doors.
My friends and I started playing rust and I took this video and changed a bit. It is almost exactly like this but instead of having a research table spot, I use that triangle for a sleeping bed and 3 small boxes stacked. The campfire is placed under my Lvl 3 Workbench since it can fit under the legspace of it. Then I place 2 small batteries on top of my tool cabinet for some power for a light. As an added bonus the roof can hold a solar panel to fill the 2 batteries. Set up with a blocker and the lights can kick on at night when the solar panel stop sending power to the batteries
In the words of the best builder on the planet: "When you build a starter base, no fancy shit" - Evil Wurst It's a cool design and impressive what you've put into it, just can't imagine how sacrificing a bag justifies it. Not to mention, on wipe, you don't have time to find 'the perfect spot' to build a unique starter base, as often times you'll be under constant contact with players. Would be fun to try though.
I've built this in many places on many servers. The bag can go where you place your repair/research bench across the gap, picking it up as you need to swap. but I prefer bags in a bush outside
If you're like me and really want a sleeping bag inside, Just put half walls on top of walls instead on floor. Put TC(left)+Workbench(right) side by side on the wall parallel to your double door FIRST. Use box to jump on TC then go to the top of workbench, put Triangle floor on top of your head and place 2 large boxes there. Go back down, put sleeping bag against right wall (next to TC) as far as possible and firecamp in lower left corner(opposite of workbench). The space between Workbench and your Firecamp can be used to place both repair bench and research table. Proceed with your triangle floor for 3 furnaces as shown. It feels a lot cozier this way, better walking room and you only lose like half a large box of storage, which is worth it imo.
I have a design that's a footprint of 2 squares and 3 triangles (less area than 2x2), but it's 2 units high. It comes with a triangle airlock included in the footprint with a flame turret guarding the front door, fits the TC, 2 sleeping bags (maybe more), 6 furnaces, repair table, research table, all three level benches, a BBQ, a water barrel (linked to a water catcher on the roof), a medium battery (linked to panels or windmill on the roof), and 7 or 8 large boxes and a bunch of small boxes scattered around. EDIT: The BBQ area is one square that sticks out, so it's not within the 2s3t footprint. But, the BBQ area is surrounded by shopfronts right next to the front door, great for checking for doorcampers before exiting. You can do without the BBQ area and fit the BBQ and water barrel inside the base, but it'll take away box space.
Imagine building a 1x1 base but adding honeycomb to make it look like a huge late game base, and then pissing some clan off so they raid it just to find it only has one 1x1 room.
This build is amazing! Seems pretty fast to build and I can easily expand to a 2x1 if wanted…BEST STARTER BASE EVER!!! Edit:I made the base,finally and I did not die while making it, didnt take long to build…as always his builds are amazing
While you're here, put shelf in the air-lock with small boxes with locks on them as well as a shelf in the 1x1 and do the research outside after checking the area is clean... no? that's what I would do...
Hey! i love the idea, unfortunately in testing this does negate the ability to place a wb, so you'd have to wait till you were ready with your wb2 to do it
I have one thing i might change, maybe in the 1x1 section replace the full walls with half walls then you could add another triangle shelf onto the top for more potential storage. I did not actually try this so I am no sure that there would be enough room?
i want to make it known that you can put a bag inside you just have to pick it up when your going to place your research table or repair bench and it does no damage to your bag
ok so i found this video a while back and thought it was cool so I tried it and it worked wonders, well I took it to eleven. i can fit 7 large boxes and 6 small boxes and 3 BBQs (that's if I'm only going for storage) if I want to put a work bench in I can fit 6 large boxes and 3 small boxes. really cool base and has taught me how to do a lot with very little
Dammit Reksmore! I really thought you were gonna squeeze the repair bench and research table in there when you got to them lol. Literally said to my self "yea so where you putting the repair bench?" lol
Even the newest rust players know tiny bases have the most juice. Raiding a large base is generally a statement to get someone off a server, I know if I saw something like this I'd whip out the salvaged hammer and start knocking.
while it is a nice small base, as long as half walls cost the same as full walls, you're shorting yourself here by building a 1x1 that costs the same as a 2x1.
Well yeah, but the point was that a smaller base doesnt look as profitable to raid as a large one.. Arguable, the 2x1 looks more interesting to raid than a 1x1, making you safer in theory
@@Evilskoening123 eh, really a negligible difference. Thats more of a dicussion between a 2x2 and a giant clan base. Also you could argue that a 2x1 with airlock would have an extra door and be more secure? Just my 2 cents from a builder with 10k hours
Extra door. Extra space. Extra storage. Extra possibilities for loot If I have 2 c4 roaming after cargo I'm blowing a 2x1 or a 2x2 on the back wall not a 1x1
@@donniehewett6875 yes but we are arguing from the stand point that they wouldn’t find it interesting at all, and therefore it wouldn’t even be considered, unlike a 2x1, which could possibly attract more people. The raid cost of the 2x1 could be higher sure, but that doesn’t matter if no one looks twice at ur base if it’s that small.. Which I think is fair, there are plenty of super small bases I don’t bother raiding cus it’s usually not beneficial
As I've always said, the best raid defense is getting them to not raid you in the first place. Any big clan can probably get the boom to offline you in a day, and because they'll probably be grinding Monuments, it slows down progression for all the other players and generally makes it more annoying for everyone on the server. Therefore, giving those big clans no target to oppose is always the best way to go, and if you can get the small guys to overlook you too, then that's even better.
I love this build! Takes the storage capacity of a traditional 2x1 and jams it in a 1x while also giving it the illusion that it has no room for storage. Great for sweaty servers.

Also with the campfire, you can put down a water purifier and place a water catcher on the roof, the water purifier takes up no space but it holds 2,000-2,500 ml of water.
Galvanized square steel ahh base
He was able to save money for that after 20 years of hard work
The half wall thing is genius.. idk how I didn’t think of that before
"Every base is worth raiding" - Chad player with excess gunpowder and sulfur
Jokes aside, I like this design and will definitely start using it since I seem to end up with 4-5 bases in every wipe to move around the map, since I'm rarely going to have a mincopter as a solo. Definitely seems great for a staging depot to convert your hard earned metal ore to frags while you keep farming before moving the stash under cover of night.
I'm glad you see the utility 🥰
Every base is not worth raiding if it cost more to raid than you get out of if you loss resources for nothing.
@@ThouArtOfWar0724 Hence the excess sulfur part haha. At that point they don't care, at least from what I've seen because I've had some bases wiped out for nothing (because there was nothing). Probably trying to take control of an area or flex their unlimited resources I'd guess.
@@Reksmore I keep my eyes out for builds like these! Interestingly, even on a 10x server, multiple 2x2s (not quite the same, I know) I built for the trio I ran with were immensely safer at storing loot and confusing raiders than the massive base we moved into afterwards. Also, thanks for the reply, I think you're the first TH-camr to do that for me
Glad my base helps!
lol 7:57 the ending guys chatting & gambling .." I'm broke 😢 yeah man that's why we here " 😭 🎰 😂
im speechless XD. For a guy that has 65 hours this is VERY helpful! Thanks!
This is so cool. Ill never use it. Good video
Working on a slightly upgraded version of this.
The lower floor abuses bbqs and small boxes, currently offering 18 rows of storage, a small generator, and 3 small batteries.
I'm also working with trying to add a "pancake layer" that both adds protection and a place for more (less valuable) storage.
Also playing with an armored version that has stone triangle honeycomb around the 1x1 along with a stone pancake layer but it has an armored core.
Working on ways to make raiding cost through the doors cost more to warrant the armor. Otherwise, sheetmetal is just as good.
Thanks so much for the inspiration. I'll try to share if it ends up being worth it.
Man this aint slight, sounds awesome though!
One tip I have is that you can add more boxes if you do another shelf above
you can only add 2 boxes on the bottom kf you do that bc then you don’t have access to one of the boxes
Love this design! It's like I knew how to build this all along but just didn't think of it. I tested it and you can add: 2 beach towels on the triangle with the workbench and instead of placing that last large box, place 3 small boxes and a campfire. Liked and Subed!
Heck yeah! Glad you enjoyed! Always looking to help 🥰
Just calling out that some recent update made it noticeably more difficult to get TC's placed like this with triangles poking into them than it used to be. Triangle first then tc is better now imo.
I like doing a tall 1x1 inside a fake "decayed" base for tricking folks into thinking it isn't active. However, tucking away a super tiny 1x1 somewhere out of view is exceptionally strong at a passive raid deterrence. Location is crucial for theses types of bases, and I'd recommend having multiple. They're so cheap to sprinkle around and if one gets raided it's no big deal.
Exactly works nicely when you have a few low cost bases
For me a 1x1 has to be hidden in a dense forest of the normal travel routes. I’ve lasted whole monthly wipes just out of a 1x1. Making sure I recycle what I don’t need, use all the sulphur for that day and never store boom. Kits are fine as long as I only have 2-3 to fall back on.
I make the chad star, I never fight in rust, I don’t have a single kill on my record.
The chad star is a 1x1 with triangles all around it, awesome amount of storage, and raiders think it is honeycomb
I doubt the "honeycomb" itself is repelling anyone. Even if it were honeycomb, it'd still be cheaper to go through the doors. So doesn't matter.
@@x60mmx unless it's an armored door, save the first door as a sheet door and once raiders get through the first door and see an armored one they might drop the raid altogether because would they chance going for foundations or honey comb? No they won't
@@x60mmx if they do then there is a decent chance it is actually honeycomb then that automatically increases the raid materials needed by a lot.. I would honeycomb the base and put 1 sheet door and 1 armored one, I would make my roof sheet metal and add a half wall on top for a layer on top and I would call it the "Chode" small, tanky and comfortable.
@Reksmore Great build I love the idea of a 1x1 base it's really sleek and stealthy. You could make a small build-up on the side and place a shelf on the upper half for 2 large and 1 small box more storage.
I feel like the Chad cube would be better against a rock wall among trees... then it'd be practically invisible, instead of just low profile
If you sacrifice the repair/research bench you can add another triangle layer midway up the walls. You have to angle it so the tip goes inside the front-middle of the workbench.
I didn't think about that! Smart!
Or you can make it a 2x1 and have plenty of space!
Eh if ima make a 2x1 ima make the worker
@@Reksmore downside is you can't place the workbench while the triangle is there so you'll have to destroy the boxes to upgrade the bench
Could easily place a bag in front of the tier two you would just have to pick it up to use the research table or repair bench and replace it when done also you can fit a small box under the workbench as long as it’s a tier two or above and a lantern on the top of the tc or workbench for lighting without using the campfire now that nights are darker than a black hole inside a black hole that’s kind of handy since the fire burns through food you store in it as well as burning you if you aren’t carful in such a small base also make willjum proud and slap a bear rug on the roof to get 100 comfort under its head
Well shot I’ve been building my starter like this for about 2 years now; now I gotta come up with a new design since you gave mine away
looks great for the stealth factor but beyond that i have some reservations.
it costs 75 stone less than building a 2x1 which allows for much more space, hence a sleeping bag and an additional door.
a stone 2x2 is not the same raidcost as this to experienced raiders. your base obviously is 126 explo ammo to raid
( and gain all loot ) which is much cheaper and less noisy than the 4 rockets for a 2x2.
also the conditional corners around the low walls will instantly give away that this is infact not a basic airlock 1x1.
so to veterans this will be a more attractive target than a 2x1.
while it looks nice i really don't see any advantage of this over a classic 2x1 as starter.
which also gives you far superior options to extend. furnaces can't be emptied by doorcampers getting in.
aaand altough i mentioned that already....
there's room for a sleeping bag inside.
i enjoyed the well made video but i think the design itself doesn't really hold up to what you're making it out to be.
Finally someone with some common sense.
While I agree with some of your points, first standard raid cost is measured in rockets, which is equivalent from a 1x1 to a 2x2 to even many circle bases..
I honestly forgot most people rely on in base bags, I always place outside for starters as what is spawning inside gonna do if you're getting rocket raided.
Hide this next to a clitt or in a dipp it'll pass by without most noticing
And yes the half walls look diff than foundations but the fact that most people don't register that diff gives you the safety
Yes furnaces being exposed is less than ideal, but it's a space over form.
You at most risk 1 furnace to a door camper due to airlock mechanic
@@Reksmore you said it will take experienced raiders the same amount of rockets. while it's not a false statement, it's misleading as experienced raiders will get your tc for 66% of the sulfur it takes to raid a 2x1.
smart raiders will spend 2 rockets and 14 explo ammo on your base since the usual benefit of rockets splash adds no benefit.
having a bag inside allows to you spawn inside to either quickly replace a door or maybe db the surprised raider, etc.
yes, outside bags are important.
inside bags are far more important tho.
i agree not everybody will spot that it's not a regular foundation because of conditionals, but even if not for that, your ceiling is at least 1,5 levels above ground level.
if stealth is the goal i'ld actually prefer a 2x1 over the taller 1x1, in most cases.
assuming there's a doorcamper you werent aware of and you get killed the moment you want to leave your base ( dying with your inner door closed and the outer one open ) all furnaces will be accesible.
any time you leave your base you either empty your furnaces and not let them run while roaming or risk loosing everything inside of them.
@@Milo-il9qc Right, normally when I raid 2x1s or even 2x2s, I calculate out tc room and only blow that back wall typically ( I Raid with c4 )
Or I'd silenced explo door raid.
It's not invulnerable, but the typical raid concern is the zerg that rotates clearing bases. They utilize rockets.
In my personal exp, smaller bases are always less likely to be targeted, especially with a key lock.
I agree benefits can exist for inside bags, but argue that on a 2x1 or 1x1 they are minimal at best.
Id rather have a bag with a stash and sword near by for a door camper... than spawn inside again with him camping me.
peak with your inner door guarding you before going outside?
I understand your points, and agree, but these are issues that are not unique to a 1x1 and that the pros of hiding in a smaller base out weight the risks
I respect your opinions and don't think you're necessarily wrong but also don't think you're necessarily right
@@Reksmore how do you calculate where tc is on a 2x2? unless there's stone frames showing through you can only take a 50/50 chance by blowing 1 wall.
they utilize rockets, yes. but it would have to be a really dumb zerg to roam raid with rockets only and not some explo ammo aswell...
i am not arguing against outside bags. but there is no argument to counter the fact that having both inside bags and outside bags is superior to only having outside bags.
the angle your airlock peak shows is very limited and pretty much only helps against doorcampers standing right in front of your door.
the furnace and 2 door issue actually are unique to your 1x1 tho,
comparing it to the common 2x1 and 2x2 starters.
i didn't post this to put you down or "be right".
i respect the well made video, idea and the work put it on your part.
I like the idea of adding a half floor to fit more things into the 1x1. However, the first thing I am doing once I have satchels and enough sulfur is to raid all those 1x1 bases in my neighbourhood. The profit is usually higher than raiding larger bases that are expensive to raid. Most importantly, the loot is more meaningful most of the time. In those early raids it's a lot more likely to find crucial building components. In those large end game raids you have everything already. And when the base has no obvious mistakes (wrong materials used, weak side walls pointing outside), chances it's a profitable raid (20 satchels) are actually going up. And if someone has used wooden walls or weak side pointing outside, that's a perfect early eco raid.
That said, I am not convinced of "the power of being stealthy" too much.
But when it's a decaying metal 2x1 I will leave it alone and wait for it to decay down to at least 50%.
I upgraded this to metal and garage doors, lasted half the wipe as a farm/ back up base. Love this design. No windows though :(
Honestly, I clicked on this thinking it was just gonna be a joke. But this was useful! Nice job!
🥰
Not really
Why mad axiom, coulda just moved on. Ya know the world ain't just you right?
If you dont need a research table or repair bench place a bag
I just started this monthly wipe and I went straight for a 2x3 then honey combed it and I’ve had the same ever since!
This probably works so well with the new boxes
For sure
I been using this the last 3 wipes and having it stone is the smarter move as it really sells the idea your poor. It’s the perfect solo base
Making the outer triangle out of wood will make your base even less enticing to raiders, and doesn't decrease the raid cost after you've replaced the inner door with an armored one, the inner shelf should also be wood for reduced upkeep
Good call but I would be worried bout flame raids
@@Reksmore You can easily just move out the loot if that happens, either way you wouldn't be storing anything valuable in there anyways.
Also you can tell that it has halfwalls then
@@blehpen999 how? On surface it would simply look like high stone foundations plus wood wall
@@donutlarper7179 i thought he was talking about all of the triangle being wood
Tip if your server has coffins you can add a half wall ring around the square part and put the coffins on the roof or if you wanna feel more safe just place the coffins on the normal ceiling which still lets you stand fully up
no way this is amazing thanks so much
Excellent design dude wow. Things you would never even think of
Glad you enjoyed! ❤️ thanks for the support!
If you teach then they will come... great work bro.
Im using 2x1 plus a triangle with the halfwalls in a hidden location as a starter base and end game base, no one seems to find/care about them, in it i can fit all 3 workbenches, tc, sleeping bag, research table, repair bench, campfire, 3 furnaces 6 large boxes and 3 small boxes..
Later on i sometimes add another triangle to add 3 more furnaces:))
But the cost is the same as a 2x1 with all those half walls, with less doors to TC and no room for a bag 😔
Yep. Stupid base
I think the idea is stealth not cost. Though the cost is still low overall too.
@@cheeselouise Facts
@dovydas4036 who tf is @cheeseloise
This is my new favorite design for external TC.
This base just got better with the new storage buff
100%
Super cool. Now I'm gonna raid 1x1 bases exclusively.
Nice use of space. I would add that an experienced player can easily determine the use of a subfloor using a hammer to check stability. That said, misdirection in RUST is everything and they might just ignore you in this mini chonk.
Ty ❤️ I agree with you, the key to this base is going unnoticed for sure
Even IF they noticed something was up, the raid cost would still be the same as a 1x2 or 2x2 with no honeycomb. Most players do not even bother getting close enough to a 1x1 to see the issue with the foundations though. This base just screams "poor" and not worth 4 rockets or 2 & the expo for the doors.
My friends and I started playing rust and I took this video and changed a bit. It is almost exactly like this but instead of having a research table spot, I use that triangle for a sleeping bed and 3 small boxes stacked. The campfire is placed under my Lvl 3 Workbench since it can fit under the legspace of it. Then I place 2 small batteries on top of my tool cabinet for some power for a light. As an added bonus the roof can hold a solar panel to fill the 2 batteries. Set up with a blocker and the lights can kick on at night when the solar panel stop sending power to the batteries
you could also put a loot room above the tc by playing half walls and roof for an extra 3 boxes
Yeah! I've had a few mention that one! It does mean researching outside, but tbh that's something I'm used to!
Once i get a raided im definitely trying this as a solo because holy shit this is great
Bro have you tried it because I am about to quit rust after 5 days of playing, I just can’t be asked to spend hours just to get raided within a day
In the words of the best builder on the planet: "When you build a starter base, no fancy shit" - Evil Wurst
It's a cool design and impressive what you've put into it, just can't imagine how sacrificing a bag justifies it. Not to mention, on wipe, you don't have time to find 'the perfect spot' to build a unique starter base, as often times you'll be under constant contact with players. Would be fun to try though.
I've built this in many places on many servers. The bag can go where you place your repair/research bench across the gap, picking it up as you need to swap.
but I prefer bags in a bush outside
If you're like me and really want a sleeping bag inside, Just put half walls on top of walls instead on floor. Put TC(left)+Workbench(right) side by side on the wall parallel to your double door FIRST. Use box to jump on TC then go to the top of workbench, put Triangle floor on top of your head and place 2 large boxes there. Go back down, put sleeping bag against right wall (next to TC) as far as possible and firecamp in lower left corner(opposite of workbench). The space between Workbench and your Firecamp can be used to place both repair bench and research table. Proceed with your triangle floor for 3 furnaces as shown.
It feels a lot cozier this way, better walking room and you only lose like half a large box of storage, which is worth it imo.
theres no bed
Womp womp
It’s the Chad cube, chads don’t need one.
And he said in a different comment that u should place one in a bush nearby with a stash
If you don't mind going outside to use repair / research bench you can fit a Locker between the TC and T3 on the shelf
This is the ultimate pvp chad stealth base. Instant sub
Ty! There's no way a 1x1 has loot in it right?
For additional placing space you can rotate the walls to place things tighter
This would be well for a small pocket to stash away when farming
Just a tip you can a place small box under both a tier 2 and 3
Really clever and nice design! The only thing I don't like is having the furnaces inside the airlock, could end veery bad haha
Fortunately the door airlock makes it so only one can be looted if you die with it open but still not ideal I agree
@@Reksmore Yeah true. I guess a shotgun trap can make the work
Playing Rust in general could end 'veery' badly.
I have a design that's a footprint of 2 squares and 3 triangles (less area than 2x2), but it's 2 units high. It comes with a triangle airlock included in the footprint with a flame turret guarding the front door, fits the TC, 2 sleeping bags (maybe more), 6 furnaces, repair table, research table, all three level benches, a BBQ, a water barrel (linked to a water catcher on the roof), a medium battery (linked to panels or windmill on the roof), and 7 or 8 large boxes and a bunch of small boxes scattered around.
EDIT: The BBQ area is one square that sticks out, so it's not within the 2s3t footprint. But, the BBQ area is surrounded by shopfronts right next to the front door, great for checking for doorcampers before exiting. You can do without the BBQ area and fit the BBQ and water barrel inside the base, but it'll take away box space.
Would love to see an expansion video on this
awesome design dude
Imagine building a 1x1 base but adding honeycomb to make it look like a huge late game base, and then pissing some clan off so they raid it just to find it only has one 1x1 room.
I might be in the process of expanding this base
very good chad cube
This build is amazing! Seems pretty fast to build and I can easily expand to a 2x1 if wanted…BEST STARTER BASE EVER!!!
Edit:I made the base,finally and I did not die while making it, didnt take long to build…as always his builds are amazing
While you're here, put shelf in the air-lock with small boxes with locks on them as well as a shelf in the 1x1 and do the research outside after checking the area is clean... no? that's what I would do...
Hey! i love the idea, unfortunately in testing this does negate the ability to place a wb, so you'd have to wait till you were ready with your wb2 to do it
Ok were the sleeping bag go
Outside the base
@@ussnanna_ losing a raid or deep the second it start, nice one
3:39 YOOOO IS THAT CBAT?
no.
I have one thing i might change, maybe in the 1x1 section replace the full walls with half walls then you could add another triangle shelf onto the top for more potential storage. I did not actually try this so I am no sure that there would be enough room?
Some people have done this and it works! It just means research and repairs gotta happen outside
@@Reksmore I see the dilemma, but I suppose its all about preference :)

Even the newest rust players know tiny bases have the most juice. Raiding a large base is generally a statement to get someone off a server, I know if I saw something like this I'd whip out the salvaged hammer and start knocking.
while it is a nice small base, as long as half walls cost the same as full walls, you're shorting yourself here by building a 1x1 that costs the same as a 2x1.
Was about to comment the exact same thing. Literally no benefit
Well yeah, but the point was that a smaller base doesnt look as profitable to raid as a large one.. Arguable, the 2x1 looks more interesting to raid than a 1x1, making you safer in theory
@@Evilskoening123 eh, really a negligible difference. Thats more of a dicussion between a 2x2 and a giant clan base. Also you could argue that a 2x1 with airlock would have an extra door and be more secure? Just my 2 cents from a builder with 10k hours
Extra door. Extra space. Extra storage. Extra possibilities for loot
If I have 2 c4 roaming after cargo I'm blowing a 2x1 or a 2x2 on the back wall not a 1x1
@@donniehewett6875 yes but we are arguing from the stand point that they wouldn’t find it interesting at all, and therefore it wouldn’t even be considered, unlike a 2x1, which could possibly attract more people. The raid cost of the 2x1 could be higher sure, but that doesn’t matter if no one looks twice at ur base if it’s that small.. Which I think is fair, there are plenty of super small bases I don’t bother raiding cus it’s usually not beneficial
As I've always said, the best raid defense is getting them to not raid you in the first place. Any big clan can probably get the boom to offline you in a day, and because they'll probably be grinding Monuments, it slows down progression for all the other players and generally makes it more annoying for everyone on the server. Therefore, giving those big clans no target to oppose is always the best way to go, and if you can get the small guys to overlook you too, then that's even better.
