started watching your builds recently and they are such a nice breath of fresh air, actual realistic bases that arent impossible to build yet are perfect to live in, keep up the good work
Very happy to see some of these concepts, its a nice small, easy and quick to build base, with electricity, turret protection, a bunker and good peaks. I love to see it, i will definetly take things away from this base in my own designing :)
Genius bunker I have not seen this version of the stability used in any other build and I love the affordability since I don’t play often when I’m working
@ if you ever make a v2 of this base when I was watching I thought the only thing it possibly lacked was storage for if you get loaded and that could be fixed by adding loot rooms in the honeycomb with an extra 2 large boxes on each side on the bottom section by removing a ramp and the window replacing it with a garage door and placing the boxes in a L shape so you can crouch to get into honeycomb and have an additional 2 large boxes in honeycomb that way if going through doors once garage door is blown turret will work to protect loot and if going through honeycomb same will apply but raid cost will only be slightly cheaper and still have to blow into bunker so a very costly raid still
Thanks Ai mate, it’s my favourite feature too and came across it as a happy accident rather than a pre built design which is always good when that happens
People keep asking me for mini solo bases, I find them really hard to do, or if you could pull off a rock base that would go down well. Are you all good with admin commands?
@@Dukeofboots1 I love building smaller bases, super compact. Smh, too many rock bases and there's a lot of restrictions when building them. Can make a rock fish/fishing base.. but I could make a solid farm base out of one. One or Two car garage for the water container truck, a horse pen, room for composter and since they boosted the water catcher then maybe I could find room for those too. I wonder if I could place them indoors since they work indoors so long as you place them under a floor grate and use conditional roofing.. I should try it?
Yeah a few bases were ready at once and I had a lot of help from a builder called AFKBank with this one. I won’t be uploading another base for 2 weeks and probably 2 weeks again after that.
I did it all by myself, no help whatsoever, my build partner just sat there and watched. Well actually he did add a ridiculous roof piece just incase anyone wanted to shoot the clouds 😂😂🇿🇦
I've been using Felix constantly with my weekly solo wipes. I really like the layout and the simple build. And it's pretty cheap, easy to finish the build within wipe day. Keep the bases comin' 🤙
Thanks mate, thinking of going a bit more chad base for the next one that may exceed that though. Im not touching a build server this week though so I’ll think it through
Good Morning Duke, your door path is too weak! it's a trend in alot of your builds. This is easily remedied though, particularly in this build - you've already got the foundations down to make it more expensive without adding too much build/upkeep cost. Anyway the added benefit outweighs the very little upkeep/build cost. .. I've got a similar build to this - a ninarust, indominus hybrid that's been refined from... many many wipes playing out of it (being raided and defending) Another suggestion, with the 2 turrets guarding mini open core, I prefer placing low walls rather than the ramps and window wall. The great benefit of this is the field of vision and yet still functioning as a layer to raid through. You can also disguise low walls/window wall with placement of rugs. When designing a solo base, my gold standard (ideal base) is 3 walls to main tc, 2 walls to 2nd level. Even with this criteria being met, no reason even for a lazy solo not to have atleast one bunkered external down!
I may of marketed this base wrong, it was meant to be a small, low cost, cozy base but you are not the only person to bring up the 24 rocket raid cost so I must of put it out wrong. I disagree with externals though, they fell out of META with the introduction of the electric furnace (you no longer need compounds to house a large furnace) Single TC is a choice.
Well, if it was me. If I was playing exactly when it wipes I would go for the shell, the starter is much easier and safer for when it’s crazy, if I was joining a few hours in, I’m not sure. Which monthly are you playing anyway?
@@Dukeofboots1 LoneWolf Solo 😅 it's a smaller server && I agree. I REALLY love the starter for the shell, and the expansion stages. And I especially love the heli garage on top
I know Lone Wolf, they dropped the EU server last year. I used to admin with Killastrra (you may know him, that’s his main). Oh and by the way your name is a nightmare to spell, I had to re-do it 3 times 😂
@@Dukeofboots1 you know killa??? That's actually crazy lol yeah he's still around LW. I think he's off doing admin for Wiljum again or something RN though, haven't seen him much these last couple wipes. And yeah the name is even a pain for me sometimes 😂
I don’t want to give too much away in the comments otherwise potential raiders can just come on here and know how to raid it after reading a sentence but I don’t make bases that are under 23 rockets to raid. Hopefully that will help. 😊
Thanks for the feedback, 24 rockets for a “Compact and Cozy” base I think is acceptable but to be fair you are not the only person to say this so you must have a point so I’ll take it onboard mate 🫶
They are my favourite bases to build but strangely the hardest, honestly they are harder than huge bases 😂 but yeah I will have one coming out soon, probably not the next base though, I’m trying out a new rock base.
Thanks mate, what parts do you mean? I guess as the window frames have no windows on looks a bit strange but that is so the turrets can fire through. The doors were left open on the shooting floor which could have made it look odd. The roof maybe? It is very basic.
@@Dukeofboots1 cons/ lack of space / need alot of building materials before building/beds are barely covered /and they outside isnt finished and roof roof isnt finished/ pros insane peeks good online raidable defence /cool design/intresting design
Easy, do what I do and play at 2 o’clock in the morning, you’ll have no social life, no relationship and probably lose your job but you’ll have as many turrets as you like 😂

Love the loot room turrets very nice addition! 👌
Thanks mate, those turrets were a happy accident, love it when that happens. It just comes together.
Genius bunker I have not seen this version of the stability used in any other build and I love the affordability since I don’t play often when I’m working
Thanks mate, I am swapping to this base when I’ve got limited time to play. Irl stuff always getting in the way of my Rust time too 😂

Mate, your version sounds better than mine, I will go back to the footprint at some point, it’s one of my favourites.
13:46 I blinked three times and my foundations disappeared 😢😂
😂😂😂 There’s a trick to it lmao
Thats a very secure base! I loke that dual turret entryway.
Thanks Ai mate, it’s my favourite feature too and came across it as a happy accident rather than a pre built design which is always good when that happens
@Dukeofboots1 currently on your server, writing ideas down for my next video. I'm inspired to build something but I don't know what'll it be yet
People keep asking me for mini solo bases, I find them really hard to do, or if you could pull off a rock base that would go down well.
Are you all good with admin commands?

very nice base i'll try to build this on my next wipe
Thanks mate, have a good one. If you get onlined let me know how it went.
weekly uploads is crazy
Yeah a few bases were ready at once and I had a lot of help from a builder called AFKBank with this one. I won’t be uploading another base for 2 weeks and probably 2 weeks again after that.
I really like your bases.
Thank you Martin, I really appreciate that mate 🫶
damn thats a good base right there id say even perfect
I did it all by myself, no help whatsoever, my build partner just sat there and watched. Well actually he did add a ridiculous roof piece just incase anyone wanted to shoot the clouds 😂😂🇿🇦
@Dukeofboots1 ahh sounds like a total idiot, did see that crazy astronomy roof peak though
Awesome base. But I loved The Felix with the small compound, next one with small compound? 🤩
I built that in the last wipe I was in. Compound base coming up (not the next base though) I’ve promised a small compact solo base.
I've been using Felix constantly with my weekly solo wipes. I really like the layout and the simple build. And it's pretty cheap, easy to finish the build within wipe day. Keep the bases comin' 🤙
@@m1k0z56 Thanks mate
Nicely done🙂 Keeps with the 5k metal/5k stone/50 hqm/a day standard for a solo.

The monthly I play on wipes tomorrow and now I have to decide between Shell V2 and this! xD

Hi, bag will be delete cause not placed on foundation ? ty for answer.
Hey mate, the bag will stay because it’s in build privilege, same as in a shack.
Ty for the inspiration
Thanks mate 🫶
fire
Thanks mate, Bank helped me out with this one, he’s such a chad.
How many rockets to raid?
24 - it’s not a giga chad base.
how many walls to tc from outside?
I don’t want to give too much away in the comments otherwise potential raiders can just come on here and know how to raid it after reading a sentence but I don’t make bases that are under 23 rockets to raid. Hopefully that will help. 😊
It's a cool base, but 24 rockets to tc and main loot is a little rough even for a solo base
Thanks for the feedback, 24 rockets for a “Compact and Cozy” base I think is acceptable but to be fair you are not the only person to say this so you must have a point so I’ll take it onboard mate 🫶
What would it cost me to have some time with you to revise a base I have
Cost you nothing, join the discord mate and I will take a look, although I won’t be on Rust itself until tomorrow morning (U.K. time)
@ okay will do
Really cheap mini bases next?
They are my favourite bases to build but strangely the hardest, honestly they are harder than huge bases 😂 but yeah I will have one coming out soon, probably not the next base though, I’m trying out a new rock base.
Do a flank/starter base please
nice bro ı loved
Thank you mate, much appreciated 🫶
Dosent work on console 😢
Why not? What issue are you having with it?
Wont let me place the bag @@Dukeofboots1
you already know i gotta build this bc its my gf's name ToT
Hahaha No way! Well that’s one way to get viewers, I should call my next base a really common girls name see how many views it gets me 😂
Nice
We building the next one together? I’m taking a week off building though, I need to play some Rust
love ur base designs man but it seems unfinished in most parts :(

How tf am i getting that many turrets and full of ammo lol
Easy, do what I do and play at 2 o’clock in the morning, you’ll have no social life, no relationship and probably lose your job but you’ll have as many turrets as you like 😂
Comment for Duke
I didn’t write that thing in announcements, you know who did. 😂
easy 40 rocket raid
Unless you are in it, maybe not me but you 😂
8 rockets to get to core xd
No it wouldn’t.
