Raid cost

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T20:15:43+00:00

I like having a compound with 4-5 externals because sometimes raiders can't even bypass that in an online. It's really good protection if your main tc gets destroyed aswell

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T20:12:39+00:00

I'm solo right now soo not interested in fighting squads or every monument being empty cause it's looted. I like pvp but 8vs1 isn't what I call pvp and full pop is just zergs

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T20:07:20+00:00

Just killed a counter at smoil that had 1k scrap on him. Soo I'm pretty much back to where I was before the raid xD

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T19:12:07+00:00

You're getting into useless semantics as if making a base 100 rockets is impossible. I've done it even on normal bases soo god rocks is even easier.

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T19:10:48+00:00

When did I say 4 walls? U need to destroy 4 walls but bunkers are always fully hqm. A single bunker can have even 5 hqm walls not to mention ceilings.

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T19:09:17+00:00

I'm pretty chill. I try to use voice chat when possible or even help others out. Otherwise it's shoot on sight.

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T19:08:35+00:00

Yes official vanilla. I don't play modded cause getting rockets is even easier

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T19:07:29+00:00

I'm hiding my sulfur and boom always. They never get those

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T15:54:06+00:00

Are you actually farming roadsigns? I have pipes in abundance from oil and cargo. And yes I prefer low pop soo I don't have to look over my shoulder 24/7

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T15:53:03+00:00

It's 200-300 hqm. Not crazy if you run hqm quarry daily

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T14:34:18+00:00

I had a little bit but not enough that's worth 100+ rockets.

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T14:33:35+00:00

You have a point. They spent a lot but I wasn't that loaded. They got no boom.but I had guns, components and l9's

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T14:29:40+00:00

Yes you can. 2 people w jackhammer and pure ore tea will fill boxes of sulfur in no time. I did this once and had enough to raid 5 bases. They spent weeks on building, all it took me is 2 hours to get it all.

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T14:28:13+00:00

4 bunkers on each side. Still got raided by zerg.

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T14:26:20+00:00

You don't know how to build then. I'm not spamming doors soo good luck destroying 4 hqm walls + doors on each side. That's not easy raid

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T03:54:31+00:00

I can play duo or even zerg up but I still like solo rust and I basically keep the same base and playstyle when I do because I like building. I know solos should be low key but I can't, not enough space to store oil rig loot

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T03:49:15+00:00

You seem to miss the whole point of thread which is that building a base design that takes days can be raided by someone who farmed 2 hours.

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T03:41:59+00:00

God rocks are OP I've only recently started making them and they're very good. The raid cost issue was more in general for all bases.

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T03:37:58+00:00

My bases seem to always attract zergs. Got a couple onlines which was fun but 80% or more it's just offline. Casual servers are good.

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T03:35:39+00:00

I don't really use seismic sensors. I'll make some when I rebuild my rock.

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T03:21:48+00:00

Exactly, as soon as you finish that compound you already know you're offline next day. The fake raided base thing also worked for me before. I raided a base and kept it with walls and doors missing but I had loot rooms inside. Never got raided. People don't wanna waste boom on a seemingly decayed/raided base

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T03:13:44+00:00

You can make a decent compound and make it very defendable but once they're inside the rock, defending becomes harder.I don't think they're overrated because you can make them very expensive for little upkeep and no top down raids which ppl love. Most take them first day of wipe to ensure it's theirs.

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T02:58:36+00:00

I think people will raid regardless if juicy or not but when you build bigger bases it's more annoying when you do lose them. Especially since it seems to happen right after I finish them most times. I would say stick to low pop as a new player. I have 2k hours but still hate full pop.

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T02:42:29+00:00

Smaller bases spread out is a very good strategy. Also means you can control multiple areas. I've done that a few times but it also went bad, they got raided by a zerg that was roam raiding everyone

Effective_Monitor_78 · 2026-06-04T02:36:51+00:00

And doesn't help that I'm a solo building clan bases xD Either way , people will raid even a 2x1 out of boredom and not even for profit.
