I know you're still growing the channel so mistakes due to lack of research and preparation are just growing pains. However, small farming bases, like cars, are severely underrated and relatively simple to implement into a solo's wipe. So, I wanna help any viewers who might see this. You need the sprinklers and lights on separate circuts. Planters need constant light, but not constant water (that will overfill the planter). Planters need 4500-6500 water level for maximum performance. A better, cheaper, and more effecient (solo) farm base would be two planters (no door inbetween), water pump, one light, one sprinkler, one branch, one switch, one solar panel and small battery placed on TC (medium battery is technically not necessary). The sqaure next to TC can be storage. The extra square of the front 2x1 can be used to your preference (i.e. mixing table, furnaces, bags etc.) Also, since the medium battery is unnecessary, the workbench can be put out front with the pump. This has been my go to solo farm base for many wipes without attracting much attention. Cheers from Korea 🇰🇷 :)
Yeah after watching this I wondered why anyone would go to the effort of using a medium battery and the extra junk. I wouldn't put the pump outside though as it can be destroyed in under 30sec with prim crap.
@@BOYD1 The can be one down side that I've experienced and that's living in the snow. If you're constantly filling your planters with water, the wetness could persist outside your base. It could be an issue for furnaces as they will put furnaces out if not properly placed in your base.
Thanks for the video Reks, if you want those extra doors to slow them down, place and make the door frames wooden and you can still place the planters, same goes for if the frames are metal.
tip: when placing water pump - if he stood in doorway and looked downwards then hed have been able to place it(water pump). just make sure its center. from the triangle with t.c. place another triangle down heading towards the side with the front door then place water pump centered to doorway. next, place a second triangle off of the first triangle. now, place a twig square foundation off of the square foundation that has the front door on it. (should be jutting outwards to your right if youre facing the front of the base from outside). finally, place a triangle off of that square in order to seal in your water pump and then delete the excess twig. you can use the survival fishtrap for a more specialized placement since the water pump typically can be place just beyond the shoreline which also happens to be the only place the fishtrap can be placed. scout a build location by using the fishtrap like a water rod. position it as far back as possible, then switch to b.p. and place twig foundation of choice (make sure to place above water line). then head to the furtherst edge of said foundation (the part deepest in the water) and take out your pump. it should be able to be placed if the terrain is permitting.
I like this a lot. In terms of security, your front door is almost certainly going to get blown off and your shop raided, so I would recommend not keeping too much stock in there. I also wonder if a two-planter version, using the back room for mixing table and sleeping bag might be a good option. That way when the raiders blow through the back wall hoping to find TC (as you suggest) they will just find a bag and a mixing table... :)
Always excited to see a new Reskmore video on my feed. Perfect timing, I was planning my water base build for next wipe and I think I know how it's going to start!
Glad to see you have reigned in the amount of times you're "going ahead" mate. I like this new thing of doing utility bases, one bit that caught my eye was the use of 2 lights and 2 sprinklers for 3 plots. I use only one, so I'm curious of your reasoning.
@@jfeondkthz 2 light and 2 sprinkler is normaly a setup for a 2x3 (6 planter) ... u only need 1 of each in this case ! this video is ,,,mehhhh . also no sleeping bag hello ?
seems the rivers depth has been adjusted since this video came out and when i tried to build same layout on a similar depth river the pump said it was too shallow to place so always grab your pump and check the area before building
You don't need to half two half walls to put the triangle shelf. Put a half wall, then a full floor on that, then the triangle can be placed along with a full wall. now demolish the half wall and full floor and the triangle will stay
tip for placing double door frames is have them wood or metal to be able to put planter boxes down still if you have them stone the stone is too big (i approve of this starter farm)
Note --- you dont need water pump to make this work. Heck you can make a farm base like this in snow as you can just collect water on top of your base and send it down. You do need the heaters tho.
in rust the sun does not move across the map at the equator. it actually moves from the southeast to the northwest slightly, thus the direction of your solar panel placement will depend on where you are on the map. nice video but ya the solar info is not quite right
moved stuff around when it didnt work, im not getting water in my plants, and i had to move my solar for it to work properly facing East? wtf is wrong was there an update?
Bought rust right before Sept. This year. Ended up with a 3 story farm 4 x 14 , grew corn had a few people helping but making 3500 scrape about every other day maybe a bit more than that . Took a few hard days to get everything but kept building till it got full size. Thanks to you and teaman tom. Selling corn at bandit camp. I dont know if this is great my 1st month playing. Spent a lot of time reading about the electric. Trying to understand it. Used sea water changed to reg water,
Noob tip, rotate stone walls before placing boxes. Place boxes, then rotate the walls back. Gives a little more space to place those boxes easier. p.s. Do not place electrical components or wiring points on external walls. Always anchor them on internal walls.
@@Kourzz i did, and its incorrect. you dont need the half walls even if upgrading to t2. but hey what do i know, i only have several thousand hours in the game xd
@@wafflewafflewaffleI mean he said you can place it as a full wall not the t2 part. I was replying to the part where you said "how do you not know this"
finally, there is nothing left to show in rust, except minifarms. that is quite sad Mr Reksmore ((( if i'll build a tiny farm, i will do it in 2 by 3 with extra planter boxes on shelfs, which brings me +50-65% of yielding with same space and increased upkeep, but this is nothing in case of profit groth🤗 no negative but video is about nothing at all peace✌ And btw who is going to think that in 2by2 your tc is over there? if u have a somekind of honeycomb in the place where u placed it. Im sure much more players will upgrade to sheet metal their TC room and loot room aswell. and it will shows much more clear where to raid
Now I want to see you getting a large amount of scrap. Selling at bandit is to slow and you can just hope that people will buy alot of your hemp for scrap and that this doesn't draw to much attention to your base. Otherwise I will be gone in no time.
You can easily sell teas to people for massive profits. Expand. Add honey comb. Build up from the batter to a second floor. Nobody should ever just intend to live forever in a 2x2 without expanding and not getting raided
I hate when RU-vid videos show you how to do something and then you can't actually do it. I've been wrestling with that stupid pump for an hour now and it will not place so the other triangle can place!
