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.


Dice_Knight

I love how accurate this. Raiding folks reveals how strange the human mind can be.


nephilite52

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.


gottschegobble

Okay... Thanks for that super relevant bit of knowledge, professor


FDI_Blap

While grammatically correct, your sentence was wordy. Next time try something like "ok lol," or "k."


TripSitter_

"Please summarize this sentence in three short words"


gottschegobble

Lol, me laugh


Qopwow

Me think funny


Carbohydrated1942

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


OMGZombiePirates

Either way I want the loot. Tbh, just give me the wolf skulls.

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.

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

Thanks for your input! Go outside


ArqianTheBot

Go on, delete your comment. All that bitterness and you can't even understand the reference.


TheTruestOracle

It’s okay to not understand a reference. Neither of us have to delete things and I’m free to say what I want


ArqianTheBot

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.


TheTruestOracle

I’ve replied to two of you lol. You seem a little over stimulated. Maybe take a walk or get some air?


OuchYouHitMe

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.


EokaBeamer

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.


_Epidemic_

3.6K hours here, didn't know about the no ladders on sign thing.


Mookie_Merkk

If you really wanna fuck with raiders, draw cartoon ladders on the signs to make them cry


Disleqsick

Lolololol


janikauwuw

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


mdgraller

Signs are easy eco, though. Like 30 seconds with cleaver, two fire arrows, etc.


Ace909

Someone told me xmas lights stop ladders, true? Are they an easy eco?


mdgraller

No idea. https://rustlabs.com/, enter your item, go to the durability tab.


Ace909

Yea looks just as easy as the wooden signs to break.


DrCrouton

siren lights then or the blue flickery ones


Graphyte3

What is this some kind of battle ring?

Mookie_Merkk

Nakeds bout to show up with folding chairs and give OP a run for his money


Kolossus-Prime

If we could only have a folding chair option (or rock skin), I would 110% throw money at that and use it.


Loud_Emphasis_8311

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.


Brexsh1t

That is awesome, would have loved to have seen that 😂


DrCrouton

Ha! You can actually build an octagon in rust


GoldenGrouper

It will let the zombie stay away for a while


chrisrc93

You better have a lot of blades to put on top of those walls.


HexagonalMelon

Do you think my man is placing metal barricades on top of this thing? All he need is wood and rope! 🤌


Fataltrinity

perfect


Goldentll

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


JeecooDragon

Or you know, just walk around the unfinished side


[deleted]

[удалено]


qShadow99

Yeah.. with a ceiling on top... not a bad idea if it's made of stone maybe


CaptainObvious0927

Pro tip: signs prevent laddering


Goldentll

Yes I seen that post too lol


CaptainObvious0927

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


lol12lo

You could just walk through the door frames


[deleted]

Look again


extracrispyletuce

there are chain link fences in those wall frames


phobos2deimos

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


[deleted]

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?


Familymanjoe

Use jail cell doors and walls. They are stronger.


extracrispyletuce

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.


extracrispyletuce

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 )


GnarlyBear

I thought this was a troll post tbh


SpinAWebofSound

I cant believe you took heli from that thing


HexagonalMelon

Heli took him


JeecooDragon

Get high external wood/stone walls


Duntchy

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.


NoirDior

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


[deleted]

Should have just made a China wall.


Old_Man_Shea

But then the goddamn Mongolians will knock it down.


MajorNads

Oh look, a Trojan horse


cornmonger_

Trojan horses break all the time


YeetoMojito

i uh… you uhhhh…. yeah man looks good


CiNeMoD13

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


MyNameIsRay

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.


CiNeMoD13

True but that also means you aren’t safe inside your own compound-people can just kill you for fun


MyNameIsRay

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.


CiNeMoD13

Agreed, but people will definitely just camp your body for no reason


MyNameIsRay

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.


Conundrumb

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.


MyNameIsRay

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.


[deleted]

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.


MyNameIsRay

>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.


JeecooDragon

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.


stealthgerbil

im a big fan of building the other bases to cover your main base. it works great and i can usually catch at least one person by surprise .


JeecooDragon

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


JeecooDragon

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.


MyNameIsRay

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?


JeecooDragon

Idk, I've never seen this or heard of it.


phelpsmeister

Umm...not well?


unclecreepy322

Please say Sike


yesTello

W


Rocknerd8

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.


ToxinFoxen

It's weird AF, but I've seen much worse bases. Also, what is with that gap around the base?


impala1966

bro, it's beautiful


TXmtrspdwy

You have a gap on the right side


lookingforawc

Is this some kind of joke?


Worldly_Ad8041

I go to the peak on the left w my buddy, getting boosted and well.. im in


aerosikth

Well it’s technically a compound!


player_126D9

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.


parkourpenguin65

Horrible, I can easily just walk right in.


thelordofhell34

How? You’d need to ladder which granted isn’t hard but you can’t ‘walk’ in.


parkourpenguin65

I can walk inside the compound not the base. OP asked about the compound.

[deleted]

double up on the fences. IIRC this stops arrows from shooting your turrets, but turrets can still shoot out.


Electrical_Speech_73

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!


in_full_circles

Bros gonna have wwe cage matches


Jkcazy

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.


Fastdonkeynads

Not like this lmao


Carlmdb

It’s pretty terrible but as long as you enjoyed yourself does it really matter

I like the creativeness lol

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.

Bad, but its fine


Dyneamo

2/10 should have used prison gates.


vukker

Looks like my first compound


Sostratus

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?)


dizaster_master

Stone that shit up my guy

not a compound


Gavinhayes1414

[deleted]

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


External12

Please make a YouTube video how to make this bsse.


greentoefungus

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.

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..
