#7 · Survival PvP
Rust Wiki
Farm, build, and don't doorcamp your own wipe
Facepunch Studios
Featured setups
2x1, airlocks, Harbor, and oil — not a bow montage on the beach.
Woods and Roads · First 30–90 minutes
First 2x1
2x1, airlock, stone, two bags. Cute castles come after the cupboard has upkeep.
Best for: Wipes that start with a mansion sketch and end on twig
Any base · Until the next expansion
Airlock and Honeycomb
No airlock means people walk in behind you for the rest of the wipe. Honeycomb is the raid tax.
Best for: Bases people walk into behind you all wipe
Harbor · One card run
Harbor Loop
Green card, clear, swipe, loot, leave. Recycle at Outpost if Harbor is a war.
Best for: People who only know Launch Site from YouTube
Start with these jobs
Farm and build first. Raiding last.
Farmer
Nodes, hemp, scrap
The best first job. You print the wipe. Bow-fighting every naked is how you donate the farm to an AK.
Builder
TC, airlock, upkeep
You keep the wipe alive. A decayed wall is an open door. No airlock means people walk in behind you for the rest of the wipe.
Electrician
Power, farms, auto turrets
You turn scrap into uptime. Fancy circuits on a twig roof are a raid gift. Power a door and a light before a YouTube mega-farm.
Monuments worth learning first
Harbor and Airfield before you run Launch Site with a rock.
Woods and Roads
The first hours: nodes, hemp, barrels, and a bag that is not next to your only door.
Harbor
The first real monument: green card, crates, and scientists you can actually learn.
Airfield
Long runways, blue card, and a monument that punishes tourists in the open.
Outpost
The safe zone: recycler, vendors, and a place you still do not AFK with a minicopter on the pad.
Guides
Beginner path, first base, monuments, upkeep, PvP, and electricity.
Rust Beginner Guide
Low-pop first wipe, a 2x1, two bags, and why Launch Site can wait.
Rust First Wipe Base
A starter that survives the first two nights without eating your whole farm.
Rust Monuments and Cards
Green, blue, red — Harbor before Launch, oil when you can extract.
