Rust Starter Base Designs

A starter base gets you through the most dangerous hours of a fresh wipe: it has to be cheap, fast to build and just secure enough to protect your first guns and your TC. The bases below are sorted by build cost, cheapest first, so you can pick one that matches your wipe-day farm.
