How I'd Build the OTHER Most Popular Starter Base: the 2x2 | Evil's Quick Tips 06 

Best Rust Informative RU-vidr, learned almost everything about building from you

I noticed something with this base after practising it a few times. The final door on the 2x2 before the triangle has to be a single door not garage door. otherwise i found (because of the shop front, people can see all the way into your first set of boxes. Which is something i would not like to advertise regardless of where your loot is, so yeah Single door for a little privacy.

I think this is actually my favourite base full stop as a solo. Plenty of room, you can fit everything you need, it's not a cheap raid and you can extend the honeycomb and doors further too to make it even harder. I ran 4 shops out of a 2x2 last wipe and survived the whole wipe with this design :) (Also watching 20 nakeds crowd around your machine buying Eokas is hilarious)

I love your vids man. Your explanations are on point and the tempo is legit. Not too fast where you cant repeat it. And the chill music helps. I wouldnt change a thing. Congrats on the success, keep at it dude!

2:08 Rust Academy wants to know your location For those who dont get it he is raiding his own base

I will build this base in my server as my main base because i like small and good bases. I really enjoyed The video and the base. Keep up The good work

Wow this video is very impressive. I don’t usually comment on any base designs but yours is the only one where I’ve seen someone start the base from a 1x1 and show the progression of upgrading it so that you can live in it as a 1x1, 1x2, 2x2, etc. Thankyou

Gold standard in base-building videos. EVERYONE who is new to Rust should add this build video tho they YT Favorites! 😉

I'll be trying this out early next wipe for sure. Thanks for the quality content as always Wurst, my group is currently residing in 2 base designs you have presented (Zedge's Viking and your Phoenix) and everyone is super impressed with both how much they learned building them and the efficient protection they offer. Thanks again!

I really like how you explain why you do certain things

Your 2x1vid was amazing and this is even better.

Great job at showing how everything was built and explanations were nice as well. Thank you

Aaah, the tried and true classic :-) Thanks for sharing!

this is one of the first videos ive seen where you start from a simple starter and build around it. i really like that! keep up the good work!

you've done it again. still amazed how efficient, safe, and convenient all your builds are compared to the mainstream. keep it up my man

I don’t even play rust, and I am always watching builds.

Great video, as always :) I really like that addition to the main entrance to add doors, and some extra vision.

This video is Extremely on point in every detail, I'm baffled 10/10. Subbed!

This series of builds is amazing. Bravo! Ideas for future Videos: - Starter boat base - Starter base with minicopter option - Winter biome base and tips You really make the difference. Thank you very much Evil.

Loved your rust building vids for a while now, almost all my little tips and tricks I use to impress friends comes from you!

Truly exceptional research and clarity. Thanks for the genius designs.

Once and always, informative about everything. great designer

Dude your bases are soooooooooo good. Thank you!

wow just wow i acctually love your content so much man these bases are so good and i love to build them you really help me out man!

great and useful video for starting and expanding bases!

Absolutely classy, well designed, and explained clearly. Thanks for the top notch content.

I love your Base Designs and all your Videos Keep up the good work 👍

Well done, love the way you explain the builds. Well edited video (10 min video = 10hr+ editing) Keep them coming. Cheers.

Loved the vid one sub I made myself was just adding another furnace and a campfire in the place of the bbq. Always the most amazing designs tho keep it up good luck man!!:)

Great base design, and you go slow enough to follow. Thank you! Keep up the good work!

Great video. I think as a solo who doesn't spend much time on base building, this is very easy to follow and practical

dude yoiur videos r really helping me learn how to build in rust thx man

Amazing man you have a done an excellent tutorial perfectly explained for any new or veteran player really good content man keep the excellent work.

Another great video! thanks for sharing!!!

I love these videos because it helps me get better at base defending thank you so much for doing these vids

Evil u really helped inspire all my building methods in rust bless u sir^^

I find myself re-watching your fantastic videos once again late at night getting ready to solo in the morning. Keep up the good work!

Thanks so much for these base builds. Has really helped me out.

I suggest replacing the honeycomb to the left after entering the airlock with 3 furnaces protected by a window frame+reinforced.

He's back!

That’s a really clever base design very nice 10/10. (Edit) Thx for highlighted comment, me and my friend used this design for our duo play and it worked out. No one has raided us yet XD.

Very informative 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Simply love your videos

Love this! Keep it up

Hell yeah man, I'll definitely this, I find it really useful as a solo

amazing video as always. :)

Very cool. Loved it.

I’m new to rust and I find these videos so helpful! Keep up the good work please

just love the tutorials help me so much

Love your build vids man. Thanks!! Id love to see more bases utilizing turrets, maybe a decent duo base with a trap built in?

another great video!!

I just got the game and built this, I have never been more proud for following a yt tutorial

Love your vids

Again, no bullshit no nothing. Just a straight up good and informative Rust video. Keep up the amazing work man, wish I had something like this to watch when i was getting started back in the day.

E.W. !Ich hab alles uber Rust bauen von dir gelernt! Danke sehr!! Ich hoffe ich hab das richtig geschrieben. Your channel really puts things in perspective and is full of ideas and very useful information. Great upload!

That would be my go-to for a solo map on non-modded, or starter on modded.

I love this, nuff said.

Nice man.. Thank you!!!

really nice idea with the carpets

you can make the double doors fold into the wall side, pretty much give you garagedoor open-ness with the c shaped design.

awesome ma dude, truly awesome

Lovely build, as always!

For the roof honeycomb I tend to use low walls inside the ring of half walls as they are cheaper while still adding the benefit of preventing splash damage. They also can confuse raiders trying to come in from the top as they think it's open if they check stability with a hammer.

Best starter base I've seen this year

Absolute best video on building bases. 1x1 all the way up. Perfect.

The honeycomb triangle next to the exit can be used to store three more furnaces and then closing off with a low wall and a half wall. Love your videos btw

Thank you I will be watching all you vids since rust is soon coming to Xbox 2020

Finest engineering at it’s german. Great design btw. Keep it up!

Really good base

Absolutely love your videos. I binge them all. I don't think I would use this specific base because I don't like 2x2 very much. I use your mini fort and agrevator all the time tho :)

you gotta be the best youtube builder in rust. i mean it. like you literally explain everything so well, and actually use the walls and doors to have the exact same cost thru all ways, and do not use innecessary upgrades.

if you want to make sure you dont have a camper sitting ontop of your airlock, use a floor grill for the roof, it has the same durability as a sheet metal door, you can see out of it and it can be replaced with a ladder hatch if you can find one for a shooting floor.

At 5:59 don't put down a shopfront. Raiders will see this is where you enter the main base room & will know that TC is in on the left had side

You quality is some top notch man. Honestly I don’t play the game, but going through the comments over the few days I think if your interested in building you just wind up on Rust videos. I can see my self wasting so much time just building in this game.

Bro thanks again!

He lives!

I love these videos

I am not joking you are the best rust base maker RU-vidd I have EVER seen, I will defiantly use this!

Very nice use of masking in the thumbnail - great work.

Thank You

Evil Wurst I would love to see a clan base build. You did one very long time ago!!

sunday morning, the smooth voice of evil wurst paired with some jazzy hip hop tunes. i like it

Gutes Video. Die meisten Tricks kannte ich garnicht :D

Finally!

By far the best rust builder on RU-vid. Your vids are so fucking on point! Great editing, easy to follow and actually enjoyable to watch! 🖤

With the honeycomb you don’t need to put the triangles off the triangles touching the main 2x2 because u could just go in through the corners

You can add some small boxes aswell if you want to

Hey wurst, I love your videos and I rewatch them all the time, but personally I play on nodded servers with a high gathering multiplier, like 5x and 10x (mostly 10x). Therefore, upkeep and building costs are mostly a non-factor (for example from 5 minutes of farming I can build the entirety of the Phoenix 2, excluding high Qual upgrades) , which is great, but at the same time Raiders usually have a minimum of 1k explosive ammo, or sometimes they straight-up have rockets, and a lot of them. Door campers are also not really an issue for me, and I have never seen a player outside my base while I'm online that is raiding. If possible, could you try and attempt a build for 1-3 players that has a greater focus on trapping almost every inch of the place (especially if Raiders were to go through honeycomb and walls), as well as being extremely well protected; probably around the cost of raiding your aggravator, if not more so. The grand frustrator would honestly be a perfect base if it was instead meant for a smaller amount of players, and, unlike the aggravator, meant to defend against offline raids. Thanks a ton for all your builds; all of them are fantastic and the quality of your content is incredible.

Managed to make this base slightly more effective for practically nothing. The honeycomb inside the base (TC room honeycomb left of entrance) can be used as a chute up to a half height floor that can hold some boxes on top of the 1x1 double door airlock, with another chute placed on the triangle above the 2 single door airlock, (of course using garage doors) to allow access onto the roof. This upgrade only costs 1.5K stone, along with the materials for 2 garage doors, but allows for the base to be more versatile in heavier zones with action. You could of course use windows and make a real shooting floor but for that you would be better using something like the Phoenix which can also be built from a starter unit. This just provides an extra alternative solution if moving is not something viable and you need to have roof access. This also doesn't decrease the 12 rockets of protection this base has, going through the top garage door would only give raiders access to the roof honeycomb walls + maybe a few boxes. (a shotgun trap would work wonders) One last thing to note is that if you had this step in mind leaving the roof wood until you can/want to upgrade can save you some tools picking it out. I hope this helps out someone, and if anyone wants a guide on how to add this, reply and I'll make a quick vid showing how to. Cheers xx

A little tip on improving this base: You can place 1/3 high walls in place of the half walls within the roof honeycome, and on it's roof as it will limit raiders use of splash damage, and it's both cheaper in upkeep and building costs then 1/2 walls

Do you have a solo/duo base design that includes the killing floor, with the low half walls that would be similar to this design?

Should have build this one. I build a similar 2x2 mine is 2 airlocks so 3 doors, 2 honeycombs on each wall and a double roof 1 stone on top and metal within. From the outside you never know it has a solid metal core. Also a turret on the roof and several traps within including the airlock. I'm new to the game since a few weeks so maybe i overdid it haha

If I really need to build a 2x2, I do it the same U way, it is simply the best for this setup, thank you for this good video! Since it is possible to pretty much build any base from a starter 1x2, it feels to me like a waste of time to farm for a base which I plan to abandon. Why not integrate it? Making use of every action you take till the end of the wipe. I am really missing compounds and more practical multi base designs in the Rust YT building community. I have developed this pattern which works for me best so far: I try to build a furnace base and then I spam a modular bunker base which can be upgraded with a shooting floor on top with 360 cover and roof access. Depending on my activity and needs I can have 1-6 of these modular bases which stand close like an anti grief base, but don't attempt to unite in the center to form a lousy main base in the middle because of the unavoidable slits. I believe there need to be more designs with modular and quantity - efficiency in mind - I would never go without a large furnace anymore simply because of the wood grind as an example. My furnace base: Starting with a 1x1 Square and going for a 2x3 with triangle foundations on the outside to hold the walls. 2x2 space is taken by furnace, 1x1 by refinery and the starter 1x1 for loot / tc (tc can also go behind a window on one of the triangles outside). Roof above the large furnace is 4-5 floors high to avoid floor grills and have it all stone. --- The only thing I need then is secure storage and fighting positions which in the optimal case cover each other to generate crossfire situations for the enemy. This is where spamming the modular base comes in handy. I can make as many as I need and in worst case I can easily abandon some of them without compromising too much (like if a group shrinks before wipe, ppl disappear etc). I see way too many bases which cost like 6-9k metal upkeep while providing little protection in comparison. My modular base upkeep costs like 3-5k stone, 1,4-3k metal and 19-27 HQM (depends if shooting floor is installed) and takes 1 stone, 1 metal and 1 hqm wall minimum to tc IF HQM is left out - 1 stone and 2 metal. Now I can easily spam 3 of these to basically beat every non multi tc base strategy which costs the same upkeep. I basically build for every loot room a new base, you have to literally raid an entire tiny base to get to one significant loot room... and it makes it possible to have more HQM loot rooms compared to putting them into one large base. The most efficient raid cost - way I could find for spamming is to go for 2 metal walls to tc for each loot bunker, which takes 4 windows if you hate suicide rooms. It costs me like 900 metal upkeep a day. Modular Base: It is a line of 6 squares with 4-5 windows to one dead end honeycombed TC suicide room (if HQM). It pretty much looks like a bbq chicken leg from the top. They are all aligned with their entrances to the center, you can move savely between the bases if you cover the center with external walls & turrets. One triangle with garage doors and a turret is left and right after the tc honeycomb on the 4th square foundation - covering the entrance & surroundings (and creating turret crossfire with other such bases in proximity) and acting as a honeycomb too... The windows make this base so strong, since doors need more space to achieve the same strength, which makes them ultimately way more expensive than windows. I mostly use garage doors - they are imho very hard on the upkeep if spammed. For groups above 3 people it is easy to maintain 6-12 of these modular designs and skyrocketing their raid cost into oblivion. --- I achieved this by asking myself: How can I build it to function as cheaply as possible? What is the minimum required to cheaply reproduce while fullfilling various purposes? Which things can be kept optional as an upgrade to save cost or adapt to the environment? How can the entire composition be aligned to support the great picture, the compound? Can you make it to feel like one big base instead of many small ones? (comfort of movement) How far can you abuse the splitting of upkeep to have an adaptable concept which also fits on uneven terrain or suits different alignment strategies? Which kind of elements can you come up with to serve the compound? (towers, entrances, kill zones, etc like building a castle, but each base is one element of the whole) Examples for alignment: entrance towards center area (or furnace base), entrance towards modular neighbour base, entrances and bases aligned with difficult terrain... PS: The modular base was tested during two wipes with fully upgraded shooting floor effectively on wilsonators duo server. It survived 1 offline & 2 online raids during one wipe alone. Interestingly the base was not targeted a lot, since it looked weird and people even kept asking what it supposed to be... The funniest part is, that my furnace base actually is the safest of them all if relying on the statistics - it has not been touched for like 4 months now ^^

Tbh there is an even stronger 2x2 out there with the same design but slight armoured as well. If you use PrinceVidz's stop sign chair glitch you can make the cost to raid through doors contain at least one sheet metal wall as well. Then it's just a simple matter of making the base look like a door raid is the cheapest way and it usually breaks a raider when they see the sheet metal doorway with the stop sign in the middle

I just built the base with my buddy and we ducking love it. It doesn’t even feel like a shitty ol 2x2 great design

Thank u....

What you could even do, if you have them, is to place turrets inside the honey comb. You normally wouldn't expect something like that in something you know is a honeycomb.

It’s amazing how many of your base designs I see on servers

Ur a genius

Hey Evil! A bit late on this comment but by now many people know about this build, any chance you can expand it to make it a full wipe base using this as a starter? Thanks!
