Rust is a brutal PC survival game where you start with nothing, gather resources (wood, stone, metal), build bases, and defend against other players’ raids. For PC players who’ve survived multiple wipe cycles (when servers reset progress), what’s the most effective strategy for protecting your base from raids—do you focus on building a small, hidden base with strong defenses (like armored walls and traps) or a large, fortified compound with teammates? Additionally, the early game in Rust is often chaotic (with players killing each other for basic gear)—what tips do you have for new PC players to stay alive in the first 24 hours, and do you recommend playing on official servers (with more players) or community servers (with custom rules like faster resource gain)? Finally, Rust’s PC version has a active modding scene, with mods that add new weapons, vehicles, or quality-of-life features (like a minimap)—have you used any mods that made the game less frustrating, and did they change the core ‘survive and raid’ loop in a positive way?
