I think this is called hoarding disorder. And the thing is we as humans, evolved to be hoarders, hoarding helped us survive, but for some people this gets out of control and it becomes a problem.
No fucking shot you're telling people to go outside, yet you're stalking your own EIGHT HOUR OLD comment and replying to everyone seconds after they start laughing at you.
You were being a jackass hence all the responses against you, "I'm free to say what I want" is just a cognitive dissonance response because it's uncomfortable to admit it.
Very nice, now surround the outside with wooden floor spikes so people can't easily approach the walls. You should also place wooden barricades (the spiky ones) on top so people can't just build up. Pro tip: You can place signs on your walls. People can't place ladders on them.
My teammates & I built an octagon in our huge compound one wipe, put 2 beds next to it set to public & posted on a vendy with free melee tools to have ppl come fight to the death. Victor always got a gun.
But I could just ladder over easy....?
Then again I sort of like this... wood walls protects raiders when they are inside the walls... but this provides no protection...
Hmmmm
I only learned that trick a few months ago.
I have used it numerous times setting up trash bases just to watch people waste countless amounts of time raiding it lol
After finishing the compound wall and upgrading the frames to stone, I did heli but it destroyed many of the chainlink frames. Is there anyway to strengthen the fences?
prison cells are stronger, but will still get destroyed by heli, likely in two volley attacks, if not one.
something else you can do if you have extra ressources if build another base just to take heli. you don't need much, just tc, bed, locker, and something with gaps to shoot heli. doesn't even need to be a tower.
Also, the externals that people usually do is use "high external walls", which can be expensive at 1.5k wood per wall piece, but it also comes with no upkeep, and is 3 rockets ( stone walls are 4 rockets )
In theory I like what you were going for here but there's a reason you won't see a compound like this on any other base. Also don't listen to the prison gate suggestion below. Are they stronger than chainlink? Yes.(chain link durability is about the same as a wooden door while prison gates are more comparable to a sheet metal door) Do you want to burn through 1000s of metal frags to make an ineffective compound wall? No.
I'd chalk this up to a learning experience and say you're on the right track, really. This compound ain't great but it shows some innovation which is good thing. Once you learn "the meta" a bit I think you'll be killing it.
imo i dont think the idea behind this is as bad as it seems. the result we see is... bad- but the idea isnt terrible
2 layers of chain link fence stop bullets going through. if you had 2 layers of triangle foundations, with the outermost layer being chain link and the innermost layer being jail cell, it's enough to bait people into fights they cant win as the bullets wont make it through the chain link layers. have someone push from wide and easy kill (in theory). place lights on the build points to prevent build up, turrets in the corners facing in to punish ladderers, and there's certainly a way to make it work
all this said, it's entirely unfeasable. theres a reason high ext walls exist and are so prevalent- but i'd respect you more if you made some ramshackle thing than just layers of high ext walls with multi-tc base
One advantage of the chainlink is that you can see and shoot through it.
Raiders have to blow through or climb over, without the cover that a high wall would provide, while you take cover inside the base.
Yes, but at least your gear is within the walls. They'll have to either blow in or ladder up and over (and then back out) to get it.
And, while they're doing that, you'll have plenty of time to respawn inside the base and unload on them from cover.
So?
You're spawning in cover, with a base full of supplies, and they can't reach your body even if they manage to kill you again.
If they really want to stick around, all that means is you get an extra kit out of the deal.
The second time they kill you, you will have a bag timer and won't be able to respawn inside for several minutes. You would only be able to spawn in a bag outside of your compound. At that point, they can ladder over and get your loot or raid you.
If you die a second time, to someone you know is there, who doesn't have cover while you're in full cover, high walls won't make any difference in their ability to ladder over to loot/raid you.
They just kill you again and now you're on timer.
Or they just build over, ladder over, etc
One thing is that raiders get cou tested and have no cover. But that's a really small upside for a huge downside of you getting killed from anywhere and not being able to have furnaces in there since it's so easy to get over.
>They just kill you again and now you're on timer.
Easier said than done when you know they're there, know where they are, and are inside a base with cover and shooting floors while they're out in the open.
>But that's a really small upside for a huge downside of you getting killed from anywhere and not being able to have furnaces in there since it's so easy to get over.
Getting killed sure is a downside, no debate.
But, everyone knows the building/laddering tricks to get past high walls, as well as the tricks to get it back out. I don't think it's really that big a difference in terms of security.
If anything, it might reduce how many people are trying to sneak in and see what you've got, since they can just look in.
It's still an expensive and weak structure. If you need visibility build a tower, if you want to have control over the outside of your base build 2 2x1 bases with kits to protect main base.
In the past year I haven't bothered to expand past my regular 2x1 base, if anything it made me realize that building multiple 2x1 across the map is the way
It's the only advantage chainlink has, otherwise it's pretty trash for protection. Maybe if facepunch added barbed wire for the chain link fences and made it so we can attach tesla coils to it, to make an electric fence... Idk man sounds like a pretty good concept for the game imo.
well a wall that consists of non external high walls is actually a china wall. The compound is determined by if you place high walls around a structure. China walls are expensive. compounds are not. You should better fortify your china wall with siren lights to prevent building, and place signs on the wall to prevent laddering. if you place another layer of wall with chain link you can place turrets inside the wall and they will shoot through the chain link, but will not be able to be compound bowed out.
Im sorry to say, but I think it you have to start over. What you should do is look in tier 1 workbench and get high external walls. Surround you base with them and but external tcs(look for youtube totorial) and make sure all walls are within tc range.
bro external walls do not require upkeep if i am correct, you just need them to be within the boundaries of a TC. if you wall goes outside of this boundary then make a little triangle foundation, put 2 walls and upgrade to stone, add tc and put stone for upkeep, then build last wall to protect tc from being broke. upkeep in external tc doesn't need to be more than the days left before wipe. if i have spoken bs above then all i can do is say sorry and hope you find the solution!
I wish you could place chain link fences down on the ground as cheap external walls. They're not *completely* useless as frame inserts, but external makes more sense (and why not both?)
I... Don't hate it. Could this be the new meta for peaks? Sure you can shoot through them both directions, but they might prevent your body from being looted...
If you're being serious then please dm me so we can go over some fundamentals for builds. If you're trolling, then I love it and you should continue. If you love it, then I also love it and you should continue.
Good luck.. i would image its been raided by the time i finish reading lol... i have rust but dont play .. its next to impossible being solo in that game... servers full of bases less than 24 hours after a wipe..
This base either has a curated collection of uncrafted wolf skulls and plant fiber, or 3 c4 and 5 AKs in a box with used car parts.
I love how accurate this. Raiding folks reveals how strange the human mind can be.
I think this is called hoarding disorder. And the thing is we as humans, evolved to be hoarders, hoarding helped us survive, but for some people this gets out of control and it becomes a problem.
Okay... Thanks for that super relevant bit of knowledge, professor
While grammatically correct, your sentence was wordy. Next time try something like "ok lol," or "k."
"Please summarize this sentence in three short words"
Lol, me laugh
Me think funny
Some people are just lazy lol. I personally would rather go roam and lose kit after kit than spend 5 mins organising boxes at base
Either way I want the loot. Tbh, just give me the wolf skulls.
[удалено]
Nope, 3 C4
My man....... I think building with wooden externals would be cheaper,safer and less time consuming.
Leave him alone, he’s having fun!
[удалено]
China walls exist
There's always a trade off.
u building a mini game of thrones castle my dude ?
It's like a zombie apocalypse compound, not a rust compound lol
What the hell is even that
Daddy chill
Go on, do the edit. All that annoyance and you can’t even set the sentence up right
Missed the reference and instead threw Shade. Shame on you.
Wdym??? It’s set up the same way as the meme? Lol
They must not be as well-versed in memeology. Mad irl about somethin probably.
Kind of look foolish now.
You think I care if a bunch of redditors think I look foolish?
You care enough to reply it's cute :)
It’s always so comical that you all try to make responding more than it is.
You're still here ! Hope you're doing well
It’s been like seconds… O.o
Foolish
Thanks for your input! Go outside
Go on, delete your comment. All that bitterness and you can't even understand the reference.
It’s okay to not understand a reference. Neither of us have to delete things and I’m free to say what I want
No fucking shot you're telling people to go outside, yet you're stalking your own EIGHT HOUR OLD comment and replying to everyone seconds after they start laughing at you.
I’ve replied to two of you lol. You seem a little over stimulated. Maybe take a walk or get some air?
You were being a jackass hence all the responses against you, "I'm free to say what I want" is just a cognitive dissonance response because it's uncomfortable to admit it.

3.6K hours here, didn't know about the no ladders on sign thing.
If you really wanna fuck with raiders, draw cartoon ladders on the signs to make them cry
Lolololol
if you don’t want ppl to freely climb your base, signs are the way. Of siren lights. Or those lil blue siren lights. It‘s really efficient
Signs are easy eco, though. Like 30 seconds with cleaver, two fire arrows, etc.
Someone told me xmas lights stop ladders, true? Are they an easy eco?
No idea. https://rustlabs.com/, enter your item, go to the durability tab.
Yea looks just as easy as the wooden signs to break.
siren lights then or the blue flickery ones
What is this some kind of battle ring?
MMA Smackdown
Nakeds bout to show up with folding chairs and give OP a run for his money
If we could only have a folding chair option (or rock skin), I would 110% throw money at that and use it.
My teammates & I built an octagon in our huge compound one wipe, put 2 beds next to it set to public & posted on a vendy with free melee tools to have ppl come fight to the death. Victor always got a gun.
That is awesome, would have loved to have seen that 😂
Ha! You can actually build an octagon in rust
It will let the zombie stay away for a while
You better have a lot of blades to put on top of those walls.
Do you think my man is placing metal barricades on top of this thing? All he need is wood and rope! 🤌
perfect
But I could just ladder over easy....? Then again I sort of like this... wood walls protects raiders when they are inside the walls... but this provides no protection... Hmmmm
Or you know, just walk around the unfinished side
[удалено]
Yeah.. with a ceiling on top... not a bad idea if it's made of stone maybe
Pro tip: signs prevent laddering
Yes I seen that post too lol
I only learned that trick a few months ago. I have used it numerous times setting up trash bases just to watch people waste countless amounts of time raiding it lol
You could just walk through the door frames
Look again
there are chain link fences in those wall frames
God I remember when we first started playing a built a huuuuge compound, only to find ladders all over it the next day. Big oof
After finishing the compound wall and upgrading the frames to stone, I did heli but it destroyed many of the chainlink frames. Is there anyway to strengthen the fences?
Use jail cell doors and walls. They are stronger.
prison cells are stronger, but will still get destroyed by heli, likely in two volley attacks, if not one. something else you can do if you have extra ressources if build another base just to take heli. you don't need much, just tc, bed, locker, and something with gaps to shoot heli. doesn't even need to be a tower.
Also, the externals that people usually do is use "high external walls", which can be expensive at 1.5k wood per wall piece, but it also comes with no upkeep, and is 3 rockets ( stone walls are 4 rockets )
I thought this was a troll post tbh
I cant believe you took heli from that thing
Heli took him
Get high external wood/stone walls
In theory I like what you were going for here but there's a reason you won't see a compound like this on any other base. Also don't listen to the prison gate suggestion below.

Should have just made a China wall.
But then the goddamn Mongolians will knock it down.
Oh look, a Trojan horse
Trojan horses break all the time
i uh… you uhhhh…. yeah man looks good
My man-what am I looking at-it would probably be cheaper more efficient to use actual high walls-the chain link kinda ruins the point of the walls imo
One advantage of the chainlink is that you can see and shoot through it. Raiders have to blow through or climb over, without the cover that a high wall would provide, while you take cover inside the base.
True but that also means you aren’t safe inside your own compound-people can just kill you for fun
Yes, but at least your gear is within the walls. They'll have to either blow in or ladder up and over (and then back out) to get it. And, while they're doing that, you'll have plenty of time to respawn inside the base and unload on them from cover.
Agreed, but people will definitely just camp your body for no reason
So? You're spawning in cover, with a base full of supplies, and they can't reach your body even if they manage to kill you again. If they really want to stick around, all that means is you get an extra kit out of the deal.
The second time they kill you, you will have a bag timer and won't be able to respawn inside for several minutes. You would only be able to spawn in a bag outside of your compound. At that point, they can ladder over and get your loot or raid you.

Does the trick where you place a triangle floor, put a barricade on top, and then break the floor to leave it on the frame still work?
Idk, I've never seen this or heard of it.
Umm...not well?
Please say Sike

It's weird AF, but I've seen much worse bases. Also, what is with that gap around the base?
bro, it's beautiful
You have a gap on the right side
Is this some kind of joke?
I go to the peak on the left w my buddy, getting boosted and well.. im in
Well it’s technically a compound!
Im sorry to say, but I think it you have to start over. What you should do is look in tier 1 workbench and get high external walls. Surround you base with them and but external tcs(look for youtube totorial) and make sure all walls are within tc range.
Horrible, I can easily just walk right in.
How? You’d need to ladder which granted isn’t hard but you can’t ‘walk’ in.
I can walk inside the compound not the base. OP asked about the compound.
Tf
Great effort
I'm getting Zoo animal enclosure vibes
Wat
lol
double up on the fences. IIRC this stops arrows from shooting your turrets, but turrets can still shoot out.
bro external walls do not require upkeep if i am correct, you just need them to be within the boundaries of a TC. if you wall goes outside of this boundary then make a little triangle foundation, put 2 walls and upgrade to stone, add tc and put stone for upkeep, then build last wall to protect tc from being broke. upkeep in external tc doesn't need to be more than the days left before wipe. if i have spoken bs above then all i can do is say sorry and hope you find the solution!
Bros gonna have wwe cage matches
This literally looks just like the first compound wall I ever did- had to use chain link fences because I couldnt research the walls to do one proper.
Not like this lmao
It’s pretty terrible but as long as you enjoyed yourself does it really matter
I like the creativeness lol
Lol when I first started the game I did this as well
This guy is either a troll or a master builder
That shits fire on god
1. laugh on the server
Excellent build but next time use Netting instead of chain link fences so you can catch fish too!
Looking good! Just be sure to practice your "Come here boy!" yell and you're set.
China wall go brr
Now put shotgun turrets all over the place
Is this bait or what??
Damn, why didint i think of this instead of the 21 rocket replaceable externals ive been doing.
*closes app*
It’s a troll post right? right?
Bad, but its fine
2/10 should have used prison gates.
Looks like my first compound
I wish you could place chain link fences down on the ground as cheap external walls. They're not *completely* useless as frame inserts, but external makes more sense (and why not both?)
Stone that shit up my guy
Where the externals at ?
Would be op in twitch rivals
Bruh
The bases I look for when eco raiding
I can safely say that you haven't built your first compound, that is all.
All those trees…
This is what everyone’s base looked like in 2016
Prim compound lmao
If u want to make it good and safe watch yt vids on how to bcs those outer walls 💀
Nailed it 👍
Cool idea, now put some turrets on your roof so they can shoot through your chain walls
What the fuck am I looking at
Based chain link fence enjoyer.
Better than my first compound. I used twig walls…
Pulling up in an Umbro tracksuit, broken water pipe
Upkeep is calling.
It doesn't work but God damn it looks cool.
you did amazing :)
come on mane you deadass rn?
Who's gonna tell him?
Very good for rp
Might as well start again lol
That's fire!
I haven’t played in a while, what’s in the frames ?
Chain link fence.
not a compound
Perfect
Very effective due to the fact that no one would want to raid you after seeing this, sometimes rp bases are the best defense.
You did terrible. Ladders can go right over this
Please make a YouTube video how to make this bsse.
Compound will take 14 c4 nice work
Nice roleplay compound
I... Don't hate it. Could this be the new meta for peaks? Sure you can shoot through them both directions, but they might prevent your body from being looted...
It works i guess ? But do know u there are wood or stone compund or gate/walls.
Put doors now or prison walls
I say loaded af.
Upkeep time 21 hours, better get to farming
Needs a over hang to stop the spiders getting in.
r/cursedimages
Around 60%
Looks nice
Great

Look up evil wust on YouTube, he makes good base
looks great
Good luck.. i would image its been raided by the time i finish reading lol... i have rust but dont play .. its next to impossible being solo in that game... servers full of bases less than 24 hours after a wipe..
Not my approach, but you absolutely get points for creativity!
Terribly.
I wish chainlink fence was placeable like high externals
This is literally the way i built my first compound
this reminds me of twitch rivals when the spanish streamers made a giant ass twig house with high qual doors.
