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

Rust starter 2x1 base

Step-by-step

  1. 1

    Spawn, bag, wood and stone tools. Do not bow-war the beach.

  2. 2

    Place a 2x1 with an airlock. Honeycomb peek sides if you can afford it.

  3. 3

    Upgrade to stone before you farm a second grid. Twig is a door.

  4. 4

    TC with stone and wood. A decayed wall is an open door.

  5. 5

    Second bag away from the door. Then Harbor, not Launch.

Tips

  • Play on a low-pop or beginner-tagged server for the first wipe. Main 1000-pop is door-camp school.
  • Triangle airlock if you can afford the upkeep.
  • Soft side in. If you can pick from outside, rebuild.
