Rust base building is a very, very complicated task. You should always consider how your designs will fail. After all, given the game's cutthroat nature, it's only a matter of time before your base attracts the wrong type of attention, whether that's an ambitious solo raider looking for a big score or a ruthless clan hoping to spread their dominance throughout the server.
But not to worry, as this is where the Rust building community can help. A crack team of security experts, these individuals are obsessed with finding the best ways to lock down and defend your base. They draw on game exploits as well as careful planning to outwit and outmanoeuvre any potential thieves, and share what they learn in the form of useful tips.
To bring you the very best advice, we reached out to a couple of Rust YouTubers to get their thoughts on base building in Rust and what players need to keep in mind when constructing their own bases. One of these was the YouTuber Rust Daddy.
