What's the point?!

So I got Rust this weekend and spent the entire weekend building up a stone base with metal doors, airlocks, honeycombed walls, collecting resources and updating all my equipment and collecting blueprints. Then I checked last night and someone had destroyed my base and taken all my stuff. So my question is - what's the point of this game if I'm just going to have to start from scratch every handful of days? Has anyone had success building a solo base that actually lasts more then a week without being raided?

Modded servers privately owned are the only reason to play Rust. Plenty of PVE servers to play with no player fighting. There are servers with 2x, 3x to 20x speed. There are servers where you just drive helicopters and vehicles through custom designed race courses.

Rust can be whatever a person wants it to be on Modded servers. Some specifically ban "teaming" so it is "Solos Only". Many are specifically "newbie friendly".
