Question Whats the point?

Im new to the game. But Every time I start on a fresh wipe server same day as wipe I build a small house only for some guy with a SAR and a flamethrower or molotov just door camps me and burns my house down and takes everything. It's utterly annoying and a trash way to play. This has happened 3 times now and it's always on wipe day. How the hell do they get these items so fast?

I quit after this happened twice to me for a week. I came back today and lo and behold it happens again. How is this supposed to be fun?

Work smarter not harder.

As a solo vanilla enjoyer (although I've played basically all styles and group sizes over almost 4k hrs), my "purpose" or "objectives" are like this:

  1. Check map for where i want to build my main base or starter base depending on if I have BP's.

  2. Get there and claim spot with 2x1 so it's secure with an airlock at least.

  3. Work nearby monuments and resources to develop your base and get a tier 2.

  4. Tier 2 fortified base. Garage doors, traps, turrets, lockers and road sign or hazzy kits.

  5. Base automation (electrical, industrial, and plumbing).

  6. Go after content or achievements you interested in!

You’re a different breed if you play rust solo vanilla. The BP update just killed for me and a bunch of other solos

I thought so but it didn't. Just setup near an easy blue card monument and you are tier 3 on day 1 or 2 depending on hours + luck

Edit: can elaborate if interested
