OK but how does your buddy avoid getting shot in the head as he is trying to pass one item at a time through the floor right out in the open with precious loot?
only down side is that if the base is that decayed you should be able to see the floors and walls are low on health. if you came across it again and it still looks like that you'd be suspicious. lastly where this is good for making sure that stability is 100% on the outside (amazing thing to do) the floor in the middle isn't. i'd suggest making a small 2x2 on top. people are less likely to check stability of a 2x2 on a raid from the inside. maybe make it look like a starter base that didn't get it's honeycombing done yet. 2x2 in the center twig honeycomb on the outside.
Huge flaw: People are gonna see that and see the floor being 30% stability. This is gonna instantly tell them that's not a foundation block and they will know there is a secret room below. It will fool most but the clans and pros will immediately know
Last I checked the workshop, people were voting on a series of garage doors that looked like different upgrades of walls. If Facepunch added any of them to the game, it’d be cool of you made a video about them.
Favourite TH-camr. Your content is so original and well thought out. Creatively presented with lots of humour. I feel proud knowing you are South African aswell. Keep making us happy Flak
I’m new to Rust and I love your build videos. Very creative and inspiring. Luckily, when I started Rust yesterday, I had a group of good friends to play with and they got me into their base and the basics of Rust. Thanks!
Welcome brother, Rust can be a harsh environment, but it can be fun in the right circumstances... So be nice to a naked and pass it forward... We never remember our sad, nasty experiences, but we do remember the happy ones. Have fun Bro
No fucking ways? Nice dude! Good one... Fun fact, Mysterious journey was my least viewed video of all time lol, I'm lucky that caught you. Stay forever!!!
Very nice video Flak. I'm a lil late to the party, just found your channel and I've recently gotten into unique base builds. I'm primarily a True PvE player these days and really enjoy experimenting with different concepts for base builds. This is definitely an interesting concept for PvP, but I also see potential in the concept for a cool PvE base that doesn't end up being the typical larger profile box/tower/honeycomb style. I'm gonna try tweaking this concept and tailor it towards a low profile, compact PvE base. Keep up the good work.
The game needs to add proper air-lock tech similar to subnautica, it would open up a whole new world of building design & bases. I guess the only downside is that they would have to limit the depts & amount of dead water there is since you could just take a boat to the end of the world, build a base, and no one would ever find it. Maybe combat this with diving tech / sonar tech that can detect structures underground and then underwater raid tools, maybe an underwater torch or something.
I've been keeping this little exploit for myself for ages for now, i recommend having a friend on the other side so you pass the items through a lot quicker. If you're solo, bad luck.
Tip for anyone doing these sort of bases, make the foundations at the bottom wood. Since they're hidden, it lets you save on stone, metal or whatever you make the rest out of.
except that you come and imediatly see that all the walls are at 100% (because you see no hp) so you know imediatly that the base is a fake so there's only a window between you and the tc
I used to do that in Reign of Kings. Make this huge beautiful tower, but the main loot room and where I slept was in the hidden basement. Used double walls at the base so people couldn't glitch view in. They'd break in, take some shit out of furnaces, but could never find the loot.
People will probably check the health on the walls and floors. they can also discover that the stability is lower than 100% (that means that it's not a foundation). And the method of moving loot is very ineffective and risky, people can run by since it is a "decayed base" and kill you in the process of moving loot. Plus, if they discover that there is something below (for ex. by hearing you) the base, it's very cheap to raid. I personally think that the idea is very interesting but it needs some more tweaking, fixing etc. Keep up the great work and have a good one.
The walls and floor still having full health, the tc having a window, and the deployables not being more towards the center 2x2 makes it a really obvious fake decay- also, if you didn't know, buildings decay from the outside-in now, so the outer walls would be gone before anything inside fully decays, rather than the other way around that you have it. What I would do is let it decay after you build it, then place the tc in the basement and give it enough upkeep for as long as you're playing- this makes the TC secure, makes the walls appear low, and look even less worth raiding.
XNR Twisited managed to build a base under a monument. But you can't get in and out cos the patched the glitchy entrance, but the build area still works
Problem is that if people look at the foundations they can see some are not foundations since they don't have 100% stability, therefore giving away the exact location of your loot in the process.
you always drop the mad heat dude. you really deserve more followers.. but i love that you are underrated.. better for my gameplay. unraidable cave base still unraided.
One flaw I see with this is that the base won’t seem decayed for anyone walking by with a hammer (also I’m not positive on this but the floor won’t appear at 100% stability) meaning this would likely be ideal for functioning based instead of appearing to be decayed. (Aka a safe room for the really important loot)
I recommend making a random triangle foundation a sealed off with HQM walls if you are on a no decay server do people think you walled it off, nobody would go through HQM just to get to a tc, meanwhile the tc is actually in the underground of your base :)
I used this idea before the system with consumed resources. Then there was a problem - experienced players see that the raided house does not collapse with time. In general, the idea is excellent. None of my houses for 10 wipes was not raided.
A slightly more expensive way of doing it would be to upgrade a floor tile to sheet metal and use the hammer destroy function to get inside. Then replace the floor and upgrade to stone when done.
You could tweak this better (and exclude the necessity of a second player) by turning this into a stability bunker. I really like this concept though! Nicely done.
It’s a great idea as I’ve done similar builds but when ppl see it they won’t think it’s degraded (I know I wouldn’t) unless u let it degrade b4 putting res in the tc.
you can also put workbenches, repair tables and research above it, with the stands hidind the arm from the research table,. works great and noone ever sees it thx for the design
brilliant idea with the lower terrain lol its so simple but never thought of it lol ill try that when i get on rust might build a real base ontop of it to live in with just box ontop of the table as they can also just pick up with hammer but thank you for the nice video :)
you should make your primary base on top of this. When you get raided they didn't get the main lood cause little do they know that there is a downstairs
Mister Flak I think that's what I love about this game the most. As you put it the Art of Deception lol. Can you hid in plain sight or find a way to pass your base off as something it's not it just so much fun
@@MisterFlak I figured a design where you have the tc downstairs, main base upstairs, and the way downstairs just looks like a tc room closed off with a sheet door that most won't bother to raid as upstairs would only have your mediocre loot.
This in the terms of Unturned players, (A minecrafty rust game,) is called a Floor base. They're very common in that game, but only experienced players ever suspect one. I wonder if its the same for Rust?
Oh shit, I just seen me at the end of the video and I was just about to type a better design than boerewors or some dumb shit because I didn't think you'd seen my last one. I'm subscribed, I like the videos, I comment on them and I got the bell ticked yet I still don't get told when you reply to me... It's a sorry state of affairs when TH-cam's more broken than Rust! Anyway, spot on design as usual, always something I've never seen before, fingers crossed by the time I start a wipe it won't be patched out like every other stupidly good base you upload! And yeah the yellow sand is pretty incredible ;)
Put the research table inside of a bush. As in build the spot where the table goes in/under/on a bush, so you don't need a box to conceal it and then just put a regular table or a chair there or something to camouflage it. Also Flak I know that some items can be placed on doors, whether open or closed, try something cheeky with that?
i like the decayed idea but without dmg a veteran player like me would know right away, also going up to a base with a hammer you can see the stability and will expose the hidden floor as well. best option is to take a boat to the ocean and log off at night,; boat will despawn but u will be above the ground and will live, swim back to base to your base and bam u now keep majority of your loot semi risk free :)
I've done my first survival series! Catch episode 1 here:

OK but how does your buddy avoid getting shot in the head as he is trying to pass one item at a time through the floor right out in the open with precious loot?
you can't dig to make your hideout inside the ground?
Deception is more effective than honeycomb 💯
Much agreed. Did you catch your shoutout in the end credits
Just caught that, cheers bro!
I just watched your Hotel video. it killed me
absolutely
no it's not, anybody except bloody newbies can see through this with a hammer or just some common sense.
only down side is that if the base is that decayed you should be able to see the floors and walls are low on health. if you came across it again and it still looks like that you'd be suspicious. lastly where this is good for making sure that stability is 100% on the outside (amazing thing to do) the floor in the middle isn't. i'd suggest making a small 2x2 on top. people are less likely to check stability of a 2x2 on a raid from the inside. maybe make it look like a starter base that didn't get it's honeycombing done yet. 2x2 in the center twig honeycomb on the outside.
Thanks for the ideas. Perhaps the garden plant box ideas could hide that middle stability
defiantly. i don't do much vanilla, how common are planter floors?
On my normal vanilla servers I know of 2 dudes who make planter floors like that, except enclosed like a greenhouse
then that could work well. people may try to break in to get the cloth, but don't bother to look further
It could happen. I know I don't often check floors even though I usually have a basement
Foundation has 100 percent stability the roofs will have like 87 so veteran players will know something is underneath
virgin nerds*
@@Batnano I love you too
cough. wallhack. cough. surely rust is rife with all manner of hack cheating.
And all the walls will be full health so they will know its not decaying
Rugs
Huge flaw: People are gonna see that and see the floor being 30% stability. This is gonna instantly tell them that's not a foundation block and they will know there is a secret room below. It will fool most but the clans and pros will immediately know
You don't have to be smart to be in a clan
would be really slow and risky to pass loot dont you think?
In it's current form, definitely. But if you use the principal and make your design you could easily avoid it
Please, ban Rust developers from your subscriptions. there is no reason for them to watch this
Lol Everytime I make a video something gets fixed
Mister Flak thank god it does, id rather see smart builds instead of builds full of exploits

irl there is no much explosive that would explode underwater, bc gunpowder dosent like water.
You can put a campfire over the research table bit that is sticking out.

Are you a fellow south african? :D
I am indeed Miss :)
Might work on some people, but for people who will realize the base is not decaying (cause it will show if it is) will check all stability of floors

you should make your primary base on top of this. When you get raided they didn't get the main lood cause little do they know that there is a downstairs

Also Flak I know that some items can be placed on doors, whether open or closed, try something cheeky with that?

There are some big bushes in the game now, you can build at the very bottom of one to conceal something in your base.
