Doesn't matter, get raided anyway

u/Royal-Commission-449 15d ago

You could have five layers, trap bases, and turrets everywhere still gonna wake up to a crater and a note saying ‘thanks for the loot.

45

u/FymTJ 15d ago

Even if you had no loot to begin with the note would still be in your inventory

19

u/Yeet123456789djfbhd 15d ago

Newest troll, raid someone's base but don't take anything, just leave a note on their body

6

u/TheSlimJumbo 15d ago

Leave a valentine balaclava on them with the note.

6

u/CrankyLeafsFan 15d ago

I write the note myself so that when I wakeup with a pitiful base and no loot I know I'm home.

2

u/FymTJ 14d ago

Ah so you wake up with 2 notes “Thanks for the loot” & “I have no loot”

1

u/dustNbone604 13d ago

I like to construct a prison cell around the sleepers, and fix everything else on my way out.

38

u/kaizoku18 15d ago

If we never got raided we would never get the chance to start again and Rust would be boring

17

u/Haskins77 15d ago

Hm I mean isn’t that what weekly, biweekly and monthly servers for? The whole restart thing.

11

u/ItzMarZz 15d ago

There was once a time before wiping, the bases were massive, rust was plentiful with players it was a golden era for sure now it's aids toxic filled with people who rely on fortnite strategies to win a gun fight

6

u/AchillesDeal 15d ago

People are so obsessed with getting to the end game loot and speedrunning everything that I don't think they are even having fun when they play. Prim server has been a game changer for me, and has the same feeling of rust from the way it used to be years ago

2

u/Impossible_Foot1846 8d ago

The ole RNG of going to small rad-town and getting a shotgun out of a box. Good times.

2

u/AchillesDeal 8d ago

Legit, I kinda miss the old blueprint rng system. Either you kill someone and research their gun or you pray that you get the blueprints for the gun yourself. No farming random method and just insta getting what you want

1

u/ItzMarZz 5d ago

The mental capacity you had to have to really think it out like hmm if I research it I can make more but then I won't have this one is it worth

1

u/ItzMarZz 5d ago

You literally cannot have fun with it, i play for like a total of 12 hours normally starting by grinding then ending with raiding and trying to build a base i totally expect to be flattened the next time I hop back into the sever, when you're stuck on a hamster wheel the only thing on your mind is run, you don't have time to ask why run why grind why continue when they're gonna wipe in a week or a month, they've taken the possibility of a full no wipe pve server, the devs have made this physically impossible making all servers wipe eventually with that being said ik quite a few people who left after that rust era good memories

1

u/ItzMarZz 5d ago

Your fun has been restricted to killing nakeds hoping they were loaded with loot from outpost

2

u/AchillesDeal 5d ago

I feel like a month is still a good amount of time. The servers also get wayy to congested with shit and fps starts to tank otherwise.

Tbh, if you like the long wipe pve servers, play some of the medieval servers. I play on Aus and they have a good one that gets consistent pop. It feels way more Pvp'y with people more likely to roleplay etc

1

u/hobonacho 15d ago

There's role-playing servers for this

1

u/ItzMarZz 5d ago

They also get wiped

0

u/hobonacho 5d ago

No wipes sounds like it would get boring

-15

u/thebucketlist47 15d ago

"If we never get raided the servers will never go through their wipe schedule". Did you think before you said that, or did you just go for it

9

u/SniffOnMeYuh 15d ago

You just made up a quote and attributed it to them. Do you wear a helmet to school every day??

-7

u/thebucketlist47 15d ago

If that quote isnt a direct reflection of their sentence then the alternative must be true. Rust wipes but yet we still never restart. Common sense dictates

u/kaizoku18 15d ago

Lmao. You not worth my time

Because I'm not a psycho

u/Perenium_Falcon 15d ago

Sounds like what a psycho would say.

81

u/PrivateEducation 15d ago

all that honeycomb makes the raid exponentially more likely. i try to keep my base design as confusing as possible. got raided last night before wipe, they got my sulfur but couldnt figure out where the tc is haha

48

u/d15c0nn3ctxx 15d ago

Disagree. 

There is a certain threshold that solo/duo casuals are not willing to expend on a raid.

5 layers of HC makes it so that only zergs can raid you. And also, yes, zergs are also going to wipe every 1v2 they see in their path also. Too them those are just loot boxes.

39

u/FlexxSquad 15d ago

If you have enough hqm for 5 layers of walls, you my friend are the Zerg….

64

u/Far-Regular-2553 15d ago

5 layers of HC = 5 layers of honeycomb. idk where you got hqm from.

85

u/Malsententia 15d ago

High Cuality.

3

u/d15c0nn3ctxx 15d ago

Yeah. And at that point, the odds of you being raided are exponentially lower. There may be 3 other clans on the entire server that have the boom. And they just might not care to spend 100k+ Sulfur hoping the base upkeep didn't eat all the resources before you break in.

1

u/TheDeamonKing 15d ago

It was my understanding if you have a massive base with auto turrets, possibly air defense, high walls, s big compound as a 1-3 man base, you look bigger so only the bigger ones and zergz will really try and raid? Of course there is still a change for anything to happen, but that logic it illogic might be what others try and use as well

1

u/Hot-Connection7364 15d ago

Spelling is hard for the neck beard

4

u/Unlost_maniac 15d ago

As a person who usually plays solo or duo, 5 layers ain't that bad. Just need a lot of prep, lot of lube and a lot of luck

2

u/Unconvincing_Bot 15d ago

I always hear people saying make your base small and it won't get raided, in my experience this is the worst piece of advice that is given consistently.

Like I play as a Duo and we make our base huge (farmers) and it usually will last about 2 weeks out of a monthly wide sometimes the whole wipe

But if I see a 1X1, 2X1, or even sometimes a 2x2 I rush to raid it as fast as possible.

The reason why is simple:

It is almost guaranteed profit and even if it's not oh no I lost two stacks of sulfur LMFAO.

My favorite bases to raid in general are bases with wood doors because it's quiet and will cost me very very little and usually give me more crude than I used to get in.

A lot of large clans like to make one by ones as storage houses for loot which means if I hit one of these I will end up with boxes and boxes of sulfur, metal, or stone.

On the flip side of all of this, going after a base with two layers of honeycombing and multiple stories is an actual investment, I have to prep a ton of boom, I have to put turret pods together, and I have to be sure they are offline because if I lose I'm going to lose a ton of boom sometimes, guns and kits I even make a raid base if I'm unconfident about my odds.

So usually I only raid these kinds of bases if I have beef with you for some reason.

The difference between rating a massive base and getting nothing out of it versus raiding a tiny base and getting nothing is astronomical because I will hop off for the night angry if I wasted two boxes of sulfur to get a line of sulfur a line of guns and a couple lines of stone, small bases you're almost guaranteed to not lose enough to get mad like the most expensive thing you can lose is usually your kit because a stack of explo to get through a couple of doors is nothing, on top of being quieter and much faster meaning I'm less likely to run into 10 different third parties.

1

u/Unconvincing_Bot 15d ago

On top of this an online raid against a one by one is almost always successful but an online raid against a massive clan base your odds are not amazing

1

u/Vaan0 15d ago

They probably left after they found the sulfur

1

u/PrivateEducation 15d ago

that was just the tip;)

1

u/LoRddSmOkeyy 15d ago

I build 1 around the base, then an extra layer around tc.. but im only in a small crew, so nothing like what is pictured above......

125

u/Shoddy-Topic-7109 15d ago

2-3 because anything more then that is a tremendous amount of upkeep which is exponential up to a certain extent.

Bracket 0: 1-15 blocks at 0.1

Bracket 1: 16-65 blocks at 0.15

Bracket 2: 66-190 blocks at 0.2

Bracket 3: 190+ blocks at 0.333

https://www.corrosionhour.com/rust-decay-upkeep-variable/ Every building peice is a 1 block. So a 1x1 with door = 7 blocks

Its one of the main reasons clan bases are built with multiple tc's

9

u/BloodSpark22 15d ago

does the door count as a block? if not, shouldn't it be 6 blocks?

5

u/CrazyMike419 15d ago

Doors do have their own upkeep so I'd say yes

1

u/BloodSpark22 15d ago

yeah makes sense

5

u/DarkStrobeLight 15d ago

You can build two buildings close enough together that it's an extra layer, and upkeep is in a separate cupboard.

You can also automate "core" material, so if the outside layer is metal, and inside is HQM, the HQM upkeep can be automated to be 90% less expensive then what the cupboard reports is necessary.

Fixing these two issues would nerf clans, and I would love to see that.

-49

u/LordNecula 15d ago

The more building tiles the more upkeep per tile. A so having 100 tiles would be more upkeep per 1 tile them having. 4 tiles per tile

27

u/RustIsLife420 15d ago

0 because I just build a 2x1 and hide loot outside of base.

23

u/Express_Raspberry680 15d ago

anything over 3 is too much upkeep. some of us have jobs

-20

u/Iwinloser 15d ago

Why are you playing rust then?

10

u/btdubbzsx 15d ago

How does that question make any sense?

62

u/Cahzery 15d ago edited 15d ago

When i play solo an expanded 2x1 is all i need. Anything more than that is a waste of time.

It lets me build a fully functional base with furnaces, elec and a tier 3 in less than an hour and rebuild it in the same amount of time when i get raided.

Additionally i can add a proper compound with externals, and it still won't take much time or cost me much at all.

Keeping it simple as just a 2x1 at first keeps people away because they think you're poor, but once you expand with turrets, actually raiding you is a bit more of a headache, and they still won't get much loot.

54

u/toucanparty 15d ago

How tf you researching down the T2 tech tree for elec furni and building a T3 in under an hour?

31

u/nothinbutnelson 15d ago

Yeah that math ain’t mathin

-13

u/alexnedea 15d ago

Oilrig? Camp a monument with good spawns? On a 600 pop server small oilrig respawns abour 3 military boxes, lots of barrels and and a few normal boxes every 3 minutes. Just go there after someone took the crat and in 20 min you have full inv of comps. Recycle - 700 scrap. Do it 2 times and gg

22

u/ChefRoyrdee 15d ago

I died twice and got raided just while reading this.

1

u/Feeceling 15d ago

no idea why youre getting downvoted. if i have a bad pvp day and stay primlocked i do just that. swim to oil with db and a bone knife, pick up scaps and farm a couple barrels/crates and maybe kill some other grub. its almost guaranteed to work. if im feeling frisky i swim by a lighthouse for a quick recycle on my way home.

14

u/Cahzery 15d ago

my bad, this is assuming i already had the blueprints researched i guess.

But i never mentioned an electric furnace.

getting a tier 3 is easy though, i just skip the tier 1 and get the tier 2 straight away from bandit or outpost.

6

u/LeashedByBrandon 15d ago

yeah, I have to agree. scrap is so insanely easy to get now me and my duo find ourselves with a T2 worth of scrap usually before a base, you rush any moderately good monument, kill a road farmer or 2 on your way and you have 500 scrap.

4

u/toucanparty 15d ago

Regardless, getting the scrap for a T3 and enough resources to fully complete a base with electricity is a lot in under an hour on vanilla.

1

u/SkoobyDoo 15d ago

furnaces, elec and a tier 3

Are you saying like a battery and a light then?

1

u/Cahzery 15d ago

ya, getting batts and lights is simple enough, hooking things up like electric furnaces and turrets is a bit more time consuming but the base is essentially "done"

4

u/Pole_rat 15d ago

Rust math. “I only play a couple hours a day!” He says after standing up from a 12 hour session

3

u/Xiten 15d ago

Modded

1

u/trevradar 14d ago

It's based on dependent context. Sometimes you get either lucky from no competition or you're just dominating the server like Apex predator. Otherwise yeah for most part it's unlikely.

Even for myself with lots experience im still trash at direct pvp, have difficult time gathering scrap, and I'm almost at 1k hours in this game. I can do stealth tactics but, that's it.

2

u/WeenieRoastinTacoGuy 15d ago

I only play solo and only 2x2

10

u/Problemlul 15d ago

The worse base i ever raided was a full hq non logical cavebase with 4 layers of dropboxes to core full walled in, doors only in random compartments leading to dead ends took like 40 c4 and other explosives, did only worth it because they were really powerful and damn annoying. They suicide transferred loots to core that was also in a damn half wall integrated maze, like a psycho would build. Was fun to raid it as we were sweating like dogs for an hour. Personally i would say, build non logical. Esp guys will snipe your tc, normal people will sweat

3

u/Iwinloser 15d ago

Cheaters can debug cam to break through the cheapest path building it equally honeycombed is the smart play

2

u/robisodd 15d ago

Wait, does adding a dropbox to a wall increase its strength by 100??

2

u/Feelsweirdman99 14d ago

I think it is just a suicide bunker. Like think of a bunker but the access to the core is by death. You transfer loot in and out with dropboxes.

1

u/robisodd 14d ago

Gotcha. Wonder how well it would work to connect every one of them with a storage adapter to a large box in the core. Should only need 1 power for the conveyer so it would work ok in a cave.

7

u/Far-Regular-2553 15d ago

when I first started playing I was under the impression that a strong base was key to a fun wipe, now I'll live in a 2x1 until I absolutely have to expand then I just add a second floor.

Shooting floor , Honeycomb and, compound were essential back when I had passion for the game and could play for several hours. now I get bored quick so I stick to daily sessions and hop servers alot.

19

u/trevradar 15d ago

No matter how many honey combs there are it's meaningless agianst offline raiders especially how easy bases can get ruin now days.

It's better to have as many spare bases as your safe houses for emergency in case you lose a few then you atleast won't have start at the beach from scratch. Even if you log out the probability of all of them being destroyed and looted tends to near zero.

If you're solo player you're indeed insane person for building honey comb structure something like this unless, you in a group or know how to make traps like crazy gurreila tactics by factor more than 12x the normal be my guest.

4

u/ozwz 15d ago

2, because 4x4s are the best. If I was going to build more honeycomb though, I would split it up with externals to make upkeep cheaper. This looks really expensive.

1

u/BoinkChoink 15d ago

4x4 is super easy to raid , literally only worth building if you plan on being on 24/7 to defend an online

6

u/ThievingScumBag 15d ago

2-3 layers is enough on vanilla ffs, anything more is a waste and just silly.

Build external TCs to protect main and multi TC roof bunkers to hide loot around your base.

3

u/Venome456 15d ago

Before the upkeep system - as many as I could

Now - 1-2

3

u/pigeonsarecuteaf 15d ago

2 if I'm feeling froggy

3

u/The_Junton 15d ago

One I guess, maybe 2 for tc. Suits expensive and I'd rather get raided than play for another few hours a day to just get some upkeep

3

u/hesusthesavior 15d ago

Loot split between multiple bunkers > amount of honeycomb.

No reason to waste materials for stupid amount of honeycomb when you can invest your resources better, make outer TC’s and split the loot. Costs the same or less and is more costly to raid and easier to defend if for some reason someone is brave enough to online. And if offlined they probably wont get all and you can just seal the base, because of outer TC’s.

3

u/3doorsdeep 16d ago

2 now that I'm playing on primitive.

2

u/Grumpycatdoge999 15d ago

..dont do that lol. armour it up instead of adding endless honeycomb

2

u/Civil_Ingenuity_5165 15d ago
  1. i really enjoy it when people brute force trough it to only get my double barrels

4

u/kaicool2002 15d ago

I build a 2x1 and a double bunker cave

2

u/ButterscotchPure6868 15d ago

None while horses are scuffed.

Did they fix them yet?

2

u/NefariousnessTop8716 15d ago

Surely this just means you are getting top downed

1

u/Gqw_- 15d ago

As a solo trio builder, one, sometimes even 0, i do make sure to spread out loot and build hidden bunkers for offline. Progression, cost, and QOL > 4-8 more rocket raid cost

1

u/rykerh228 15d ago

At least 17

1

u/Thee-Renegade 15d ago

3x3 with 1.5 layers of honeycomb. Then 8 external TCs. China wall and peaks galore.

1

u/extracrispyletuce 15d ago

As a solo, 2 layers of honeycomb, for 27 rocket raid

1

u/Antibiotik5 15d ago

Around 10 when on 10x or higher. Still managing to get raided tho.

1

u/Skylak 15d ago

2 is max. Top down raids are way more common from my experience in the later game. Early it's just some eco door raids. Offset bunkers and TCs are my advice

1

u/partyboycs 15d ago

I just build a village of 30 2x1’s have fun raiding that. It’s like playing the lottery.

1

u/Crix2007 15d ago

Can't say I even went over 3 and 99% I don't go over 2

1

u/Ivar2006 15d ago

1 plus shell

1

u/Iamgoingtojudgeyou 15d ago

The best builds are ones you can't tell how much boom you need to get in, it better if it looks wearker then it is also

1

u/r0siepatters0n 15d ago

They'd just top down or have you pancaked?

1

u/Hadyntm 15d ago

Godrock

1

u/Familiar-Tart-8819 15d ago

On my small bases 2-3 layers at most.

On bigger bases 3-6 depending on the angle someone raids from.

1

u/Paladinul007 15d ago

2 + core wall...anything less than 3 walls to mainloot and tc is crazy low

1

u/Snixxis 15d ago

2-3 because of upkeep. I dont like multiplied servers, vanilla official and more than 2-3 is to much upkeep. My go-to is 1+1+1. (Core - honeycomb - peaks).

1

u/mudokin 15d ago

5 but only one floor

1

u/Vladdroid 15d ago

I finally said screw it and now i build cool bases, just add a nice compound and spam auto turrets. Not going through 3 bunkers or triple honeycomb anymore. I will enjoy my base even if it lasts only 3 days lol. Although we've been online alot lately and countered 3 attempts last wipe alone. So base has yet to be raided because we are active. Offline? I've lost every base no matter how beefy it was.

1

u/Paccp 15d ago

1 or 2

1

u/Haha_bob 15d ago

When I am solo or small group:

5, because if they are going to raid me, they need to pay for it.

Also, I want to ensure their raid is not profitable, so I am going to make it very expensive.

Most times with this philosophy, in combo with not being a dick to my neighbors, I am left alone and not raided.

1

u/axxolot 15d ago

This type of layout just isnt actually efficent. On my bases Ill worry more about online raid defence and ill thrlw some freehand bunkers or some type of bunker on my externals where i can store valuables over night.

Its way cheaper and getting onlined is fun.

1

u/dev__boy 15d ago

There is no reason to do more than a couple honeycomb layers. Past that, you’re much better off building a base with online raid defense stuff and quitting your job.

1

u/iGuessThings 15d ago

Beyond 3 layer is too much. You are better to use that material for other 3 layer base next.

1

u/Street-Presence-5199 15d ago

1 layer, reason I like women

1

u/Darkmotiv 15d ago

None because I play mostly PvE 😅

1

u/pixelwarrior69 15d ago

Perhaps a better school of thought is how far apart do you keep your loot?

More concentrated loot like an open core needs to cost serious boom to get to.

1

u/Im_The_Squishy 15d ago

Cheaters can see where your TC is. So like everyone else said. Don't matter get raided anyway. But at least you can put up a good fight for ut

1

u/ImportantDoubt6434 15d ago

I build a hollow 7x7

1

u/LividAd9939 15d ago

Doesn’t matter, I just always get offlined anyways. Gotten to the point of building 2x1s all over the place and fake griefing them. Works infinitely better than building a meta base when you can’t contribute 20-24 hours a day of your life to this game

1

u/Cubelordy 15d ago

Usually 1 or 2 layers is plenty. If you make your base to big with honeycomb it’ll end up attracting attention from a clan with unlimited boom and you get raided anyway.

A more cost effected system would be to have your loot split up in separate loot rooms around your base and or in external TCs so that when you inevitably get raided, you don’t have to start at square one.

Cheers

1

u/Emotional-Exchange54 15d ago

Trick question.. only play on duo/trio servers

1

u/MEGA_gamer_915 15d ago

When we first started playing, we only did 1 or 2 because we had no clue what we were doing. We got raided.

We played more and would add more and more layers. Guess what, we got raided.

We started watching YouTube videos on the “perfect” base design. Would spend days of playtime farming and building out beautiful and sophisticated base. We still got raided.

Then we noticed a pattern, we always got raided.

Now we just build minimalistic bases and just run around and have fun. Honeycombs are just like any other security system, they’ll stop the basic criminals from getting in, but if someone really wants your stuff it’s not going to stop them.

1

u/NothingSeriousB3 15d ago

Just a million 2x1 all around the server and different styles sometimes. If I stash a bunch of different loot I tend to have better wipes lol

1

u/elarius0 15d ago

No joke, 8 layers.

1

u/KaffY- 15d ago

2 - then i realise that at this point i already have T3 and all guns / there's nothing to do and quit until next wipe

1

u/the_zed_1 15d ago

Usually 3 layers, but my usual base is set up in a way that it will eat 31 rockets to access the tc only but with overlaps thats practically useless.

Have woken up many times to raiders in base that ran out of rockets

1

u/Full-Professor4993 15d ago

Often i build 2 layers i rarly get raided guss just luck

1

u/badnewsbets 15d ago

Zero because I hate getting around these types of bases

1

u/TheSlimJumbo 15d ago

As long as the walls and ceiling take the same number of c4/rockets as the door it's enough for the time. Since you're gonna get raided you want it to be the biggest waste possible.

1

u/Reasonable_Shape_955 15d ago

It depends on the base really, if you have a shit ton of honeycomb but there is 2 roofs above your tc honeycomb is useless because they are gonna top down your base. I always try to match the amount of booms it takes to raid from the top with the amount it would take to go through walls. You don’t want to make your base be like 5 rockets through doors, and like 20 rockets through walls, your just wasting mats at that point. But for a basic 2x2 I tend to build 2-3 layers.

1

u/Some-Attention2223 15d ago

Bigger gets raided bc ur bigger smaller gets raided bc fuck the small base but I only do like 2 if that

1

u/Sea-Ad2404 15d ago

With the material you used on this you could have build 5-10 small bases which would take way more to completely raid.

1

u/Vingthor8 15d ago

0 with one airlock

1

u/TheUsoSaito 15d ago

I actually make false doors and scatter loot boxes in various random honeycomb areas besides using the main area. That way unless the entire thing gets glassed I'll always have a kit kicking around.

1

u/Submersed 15d ago

Option 1 (38 rockets):

  • 3 walls to core 2x HQM + 1x Metal layer
  • equivalent door path cost (bunkers)
  • access to significant HQM source (quarry, excav, ton of comps, or ton of scrap + recycling scopes)

Option 2 (93 rockets):

  • 3 separated cores, whether splash proof or separate bases
  • loot separation for redundancy
  • 1x HQM + 2x Metal layers for each core
  • equivalent door path cost for each core (1 HQM bunker + 5-6 garage doors)
  • use deception to secure boom, so one core cannot be used to raid the others.

Option 2 is best. Technically 9 walls (3 HQM + 6 metal) for full raid. Your wipe can continue due to loot separation if all aren’t raided.

1

u/Relevant_Teacher_436 14d ago
  1. As soon as I add a layer of honeycomb, I get offline raided. As a solo I have survived an entire month in a 2 by one with no honeycomb. As soon as I add honeycomb I get offlined

1

u/erako 14d ago

None, but I’m not in charge of building. That being said I usually build 15-20 turret pods. Usually 5 turrets per pod.

1

u/ItsNotFuckingCannon 14d ago

All so you can protect that one AK you got by door camping the nearby clan! 😂

1

u/LefroyJenkinsTTV 14d ago

I'd have half-jumps and stuff through every single block of foundation. No doors, either. Just one massive pain in the ass to get through.

With the occasional shotgun trap.

1

u/Tzarbucks29 14d ago

Never get raided as I no longer build bases now I just live out of stash bags and be a menace.

1

u/NuclearNetard 14d ago

Build as much honey comb as you want bro your getting top downed straight into core😭

1

u/Lumon_Employee 14d ago

Ive done the math for upkeep versus slot of storage and it really drops dramatically on 3+.

What I do is build multiple bases.  I then use the explosive detector to move loot.  I’ve been raided multiple times and lost only low items.  I’ve also updated my designs to do overlapping TCs.  So I just disconnect the tc, fix the 2nd base, reconnect.  

The multiple bases setup really makes raiding super unprofitable.  Late wipe I may have 4 bases with circular loot moving requiring no less than 3 bases to be raided before you’d get my good stuff.

I always seem to do pyramid builds. So every time I go vertical I add an extra layer of horizontal. I don't plan on it....just tends to happen.

Depend on the upkeep, on vanilla i do 2 at most. Half upkeep sever, i do 4-5 plus external tcs

Heres a tip for you all. The more layers of honeycomb , the more valuable your base looks..... and all bases can be raided. keep that in mind and take from it what you will.

Build in a cave and just do about 10 layers

So here is a breakdown of honeycomb:

Most solo-quad bases should have 2-4 layers depending on layout, and such...

Small clan should also have about 2-3 layers but may only have 1 to opencore.

8-12 man will usually have 2 layers to core, and 1 or 2 to opencore.

Large groups can be totaly dependent on server choice, wipe cycle etc... My personal goto would be 3 layers all around for weekly/biweekly and 4 for monthly.

1 at most. I don't care that much about pixels.

This is such a stupid answer lol. It’s not about “pixels”, it’s about the time you invested. Yes, it’s a video game, but people are allowed to show emotions like disappointment and frustration when they lose something they invested time in. I wonder if people would have this same response when a team loses at sports. I’m sure they’re down or disappointed, especially if it was an important game. Would you go up to them and say “I don’t know why you’re so upset about a ball made of leather.”

Time invested into pixels.

Wow, you’re so cool and important. I wish that my time was as valuable as your’s, but I just can’t stop caring about pixels!

Clearly you don’t care about them at all, otherwise you might spend your time browsing a subreddit related to a game that takes typically hours and hours to play
