Playing Rust solo means doing everything yourself: farming, building and defending against bigger teams. A good solo base design keeps the build cost low enough to get up on wipe day, the upkeep affordable for one player, and the loot protected behind enough honeycomb (or a bunker) to make raiders look for an easier target.
