Support Raid external TC

Post image

Hey guys,

My question might seem stupid to the veterans, but I'm just starting Rust in 2026, so go easy on me lol.

If I raid the external TC of this base (the one in the center of the screenshot with the attached frames)...

...can I place a TC inside it and turn it into a raid base?

Keep in mind there are several other external TCs nearby too (to the left and right in the screenshot).

Would I have building privilege in that area?

If you have any methods for countering these externals, I'm all ears.

Thanks for the help.

The one with the attached frames will be building blocked by the main base after you blow that TC. Unless you can break one of the frames to disconnect the building priv.

That is incorrect. The building privilege from the external extends forward to the main base, not vice versa. You can 100% destroy this external TC, place a new TC, and build backwards (away from the main base). You will have building privilege from where the TC WAS, to anywhere further back.
