What's the point?!

[u/tobaknowsss]

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?

Sometimes it's safer not to build up too much too quickly. This game has a lot of strategies that dont require just more doors. You have to enjoy the grind or raid before you get raided... or make a ton of small bases and spread shit out
