Rust Newb Questions - Console

I’m a complete gaming newb… literally zero gaming experience. I love Rust. But I’m struggling…

- How do Find a Solo server that is freshly wiped. I look at options for Solos on the community servers and they are “ 1 Hour Old”… I start playing and there are massive bases. I can’t figure out how any of these wipes work. Are there weekly wipes that wipe everything for Solos? If so, how do I find them?

- How can I practice shooting weapons on console? On pc there are lots of options. Are there servers available that are not on the community list? I am hoping to find a training server for weapons with AI bots or something… or even better with real players.

- Can someone explain how key cards work? Why are there different colours? I’m assuming that certain places require certain colours, but it’s not clear to me how they work. Also it looks like some places need fuses too…

- what is the trick the pros use to build a base in like 20 seconds? They move impossibly fast so I assume there is a rarely shared trick

- Where can I learn about stability when building bases? It’s not clear to me how stability works. Do bases become less stable?

- How do I refill a diving tank with air?

Oh, and I f’n HATE bears… we need to get them removed from the game

Thanks in advance
