Something seriously needs to be done about offline raiding the miniscule things you can do to try preventing them. I play in a duo-quad team and are capabilities of raid defense while offline are very small since we can't really afford huge bases or mass amounts of turrets and armored walls and such. We have been on the verge of quitting for ages because it seems like a complete waste of time to even play the game. Rust is built to have longevity and "survive" while gathering loot. The problem is, all your progress can be stolen in an hour of being offline, which is completely ridiculous. We're sick of playing for 13-15 hours a day grinding our asses off and making plays just to get raided when we have to sleep. YOU HAVE TO SLEEP! and we can't even do that without being at risk of losing all our loot. The past 6 wipes have ended the same way: we grind all day first day, then we get offlined at about 7 AM while we're asleep. Please do something about this. I think the game would be in much better shape if you simply couldn't raid someone while they're offline. It would make everything more fair and in general I think people would have a lot more fun if they could only do onlines. Obviously, people thing onlines are cancer because of the defense methods used, but theres many solutions to that as well such as not being able to place specific deployables if you're being raided, or a miniscule raid-block.
Helk, pls fix.

There are thousands of servers to choose from. Find a low-pop PVE server with zombies, murderers and scarecrows. Those will help keep raiders at bay. Active Admins who enforce their own policies are good to find.
Shop around. Stay off public servers. Spend 8-10 bucks a month and run your own server. There are options between being someone's b*tch and quitting the game..
Even on low pop servers you stand the chance of someone raiding you it is just a lower percentage, My server is low pop but the ping might be too high, (Pal-ul-don) plenty of bots to worry about.
The question you should ask yourself is: why am I grinding my ass off for 15h a day? There is no point in hoarding things in this game. Even if you don't get raided, you loose everything when the server wipes. If getting raided bothers you this much, maybe invest less time in grinding stuff, and have some fun instead?
Everyone gets raided sometime, if it happens every day you're doing sth. we, but you need to deal with it, it's not the end of the world. Just farm some stuff for an hour and you're right back where you're started (minus the boxes full of stuff you never used).
You guys are missing the point. The guy is saying that he is sick of being offline raided and that he wishes there was some way to better defend your base while offline. I've heard of a few ideas but one stood out to me the ability to barricade a door from the inside effectively turning the door into the strength of the material of the door frame its attached to. That alone would not technically be enough but it would provide a lot more protection while your inside sleeping. In the games current state it seems like raiding people is to easy I mean there are "explosive" bullets that can destroy multiple walls and entities at a time and basically the amount of sulfur needed to craft rockets and c4 is to little.
There are admin tools and plug ins that make raiding extremely difficult.
Both TCs and foundations can be made invincible. Ladders and twig building can be blocked. Offline raiding can be blocked almost entirely. Damage modifiers to turrets and traps are available to make sure draining doesn't happen. There is a "No drain" turret plugin.
The list and options go on. Do some research before you invest your time. I did, because I spend 50+ hours a week in Rust and have no intention of rebuilding every day.
So you suggest to buy your own server? And play with who? Him, himself and his dick in hand?
He has a little bit of a point, there has to be some sort of balance or something to rely on here. Maybe you could craft something with electricity in the future or some other defense measures but at the moment its a little lacking.
clearly you don't know how rust gameplay really works... I don't want to be a roleplayer, I want to play PVP, raid, farm, everything. I just dont want to lose all my progression when I go to sleep.
Don't play vanilla servers. Vanillas are a full time job. The amount of hours people play, just to get everything they need is just sad more than anything. Offline raiding won't ever go away. Because it'll cause more problems than it fixes. Such as, people going offline, when they think they're about to be raided & the fact that not everyone is online at the same time. It'll just make the server boring.
But saying that. We seem to have a growing trend of people who specifically wait for people to go offline to raid. I mean, grow a pair ffs people.
Looking for another server probably is pretty good advice in this case. On the server that I play on this is no too much of an issue, because wipes are monthly, BPs are not wiped, there are only about 20 players and upkeep is reduced to 1/3, so you can build rather large bases. In addition, there are rules in regard to raiding that make sure that you can at least keep your base rather intact afterwards while not having too much of an impact on raiding itself. All these things in combination work, in my experience, very well to reduce the chance that you loose your progress. I'd really recommend trying a server that offers these features. The one that I usually play on is called "#EU - max 4 / low decay and upkeep / monthly wipe / no griefing" in case you
Hosting your own server is something that I really wouldn't recommend though. It's very likely that you'd be the only one playing on it, being the owner enables cheating which a lot of admins apparently find too tempting to not do and it also comes with a lot of work and responsibility if people actually do play on it.
