Building bases in Rust is a critical part of the game since that’s where you store your loot. Depending on how many people are on your team, you may want to start out with a 2x1 or 2x2 base, although they can be expanded during the game if needed.
The basic 2x2
The 2x2 design is a common starter design in Rust usually used by 4 man teams. A 2x2 usually only has 1-2 loot rooms at this base, and has larger rooms, making it better suited for large teams.
The 2x1
Another common starter base in Rust this base design is a bit smaller than a 2x2 this base design is meant for solos, duos, or trios.
Freestyle bases
Freestyle bases are your own personal base that you made basically your idea of a build. Here is a base that someone came up with. The picture shows basic items that go in a base such as a sleeping bag,tool cupboard, furnace, and loot boxes. These items are used in every single rust base if you don't have any of these you won't make it far.
