Doors, Locks and Security

Doors matter as much as walls. Use an airlock, lock every entry, and avoid a straight path to your loot.

Simple plan

  • Work in small goals and bank loot often.
  • Keep wood, stone, and cloth in reserve.
  • Listen, watch roads, and scout monuments before committing.
  • Upgrade only what you can maintain.
TIP

On Wild Sanctuary, read the server rules and ask on Discord if you are unsure.

Common mistakes

  • Roaming too far with all your loot.
  • Building without a Tool Cupboard or airlock.
  • Ignoring radiation, night time, or the route home.
WARNING

Rust changes often. Always check the server rules and configuration.

Wild Sanctuary

The clean approach is to communicate, progress steadily, and avoid greedy runs. A simple base, sorted boxes, and safe routes beat one risky trip.
