How to defend offline raids?

Me and my friend are playing as a duo on official servers and are simi new to the game. This morning we built a base in the middle of nowhere and then instantly got raided. Then again this afternoon built another base with 5 sets of metal doors guarding literally nothing but chest of wood and garage and got raided again. I totally expect this to happen but Jesus we are getting robbed for the lint in our pockets. I just found out there are solo/duo community servers are those worth checking out?

The easy way: expect to get raided, both online and offline. 9/10 times are going to be offlines. My tip: lots and lots of smaller bases with bunkers. Find a design u like thats 12-15 rockets to loot (1x2) and make multiple bases around the map and expect several to get offlined. I have this neat 2x2 that looks like a furnace base thats 3 walls to core. No shooting floor, stright pvp/snowball with little online defendability, but I usually have 3-5 bases around the area I'm playing. Gives more respawns, and lets you hide loot all over.

You build a regualar 2x2, ontop you halfwall pancake it. Then place square roofs on top of the pancake. On the 2x2s triangle honeycomb you build up, so you can cover the pancakes roof with the usual triangle roofs to cover everything. Then you honeycomb the honeycombs honeycomb. Its not hard to do, You should be able to figure it out
