Complete guide to building floating bases and exploring the deep sea in Rust
This video offers a detailed guide on how to build floating bases in Rust, including the necessary materials, the construction process, tips for engine balancing, and customization options. It also covers deep sea exploration, including ghost ships, islands, and the floating city, providing tips for farming and PvP.
1. ⚓️ Introduction to Boat Building: Materials and Initial Costs
- ✅ The video introduces the new naval update and how to build a boat in Rust.
- ✅ The basic elements needed are mentioned: anchor, boat building plan, construction station, steering wheel, sail, and small boat engine.
- ✅ Most of these items can be found at the level 1 workbench, under the hammer tree.
- ✅ A total of 240 scrap is required to learn the first four basic objects.
- ✅ The small boat engine is located in the level 2 workbench and costs 195 scrap.

2. 🛠️ Floating Base Construction: Station Placement, Direction, and Engine Balancing
- ✅ To build the base, you must first place the construction station in the ocean, in a sufficiently deep area.
- ✅ The station has an editing mode that is activated by pressing the 'E' key, showing a grid on which building blocks can be placed.
- ✅ The boat building plan allows you to create different options that require wood and low-quality fuel.
- ✅ The steering wheel includes a code lock to prevent others from accessing it.
- ✅ A method of travel, such as a sail or engine, is necessary to finalize the construction.
- ✅ It is important to balance the engines when building the base to ensure that the boat moves in a straight line. Placing an engine in each corner helps maintain balance.

3. 🧱 Construction Limitations and Customization Options for the Floating Base
- ✅ Boat bases are limited to two and a half stories in height.
- ✅ To power the boat, the engine must be placed on the lower floor.
- ✅ Stability on boats works differently than land bases, allowing you to place structures that protrude.
- ✅ Various deployable objects can be placed on the boat, although some must be on the sides.
- ✅ The anchor is placed on the lower floor and allows you to keep the boat in place.
- ✅ Engines are more powerful than sails; one engine is equivalent to four sails in terms of power.

4. 🧰 Compatible Objects and Deployables to Customize Your Floating Base
- ✅ You can place sandbags, barricades, trophies, lights, cabinets, ovens, sofas, chairs, and workbenches.
- ✅ Although there are no electrical elements, computer stations and drones can be placed.
- ✅ You can add mixing tables, kitchens, musical instruments, and refrigerators (although these do not work without electricity).
- ✅ You can use small and large storage shelves, repair and research tables, barrels, and storage containers.
- ✅ For decoration, you can use carpets, bear skins, sleeping bags, beds, and art easels.
- ✅ You can add games like chippy and non-electric Christmas lights.
- ✅ You can place balloons, clam tables (although they are not very useful), trophies, and mannequins.
- ✅ The only trap allowed is the spike trap.
- ✅ Surprisingly, fireworks are allowed.
- ⚠️ You cannot add growing materials such as water catchers or flower pots.

5. ⚔️ Defense and Raiding Strategies for Floating Bases
- ✅ When the base's health reaches zero, a crunching noise is heard and the boat begins to sink.
- ✅ During the sinking, all doors and windows break, allowing access to raiders.
- ✅ To slow down raiders, it is recommended to lock all storage containers.
- ✅ It is possible to hide containers behind wooden stairs to make it difficult for raiders to access.

6. 🗺️ Deep Sea Exploration: Ghost Ships, Islands, and the Floating City
- ✅ When entering the deep sea, the fog of war is activated, limiting visibility to previously discovered areas.
- ✅ Four types of ghost ships can be found: Isabella (blue), Maritime 2 (green), Jenny 3 (yellow), and Poseidon 4 (red).
- ✅ These ships do not move, but can be boarded and contain scientists and loot, including military and supply crates.
- ✅ At least one of the ships has a locked crate that, when activated, spawns scientists and enemy patrol boats.
- ✅ On the deep sea islands, you can find coconuts, ammunition boxes near the cannons, and the possibility of using a metal detector.
- ✅ Some islands have warehouses full of red barrels and ammunition boxes.
- ✅ Medium and large islands have small monuments with loot and the possibility of calling in an airdrop.
- ✅ The floating city is a safe zone with shops, recyclers, an oil refinery, and a casino.
- ✅ You can access a farm by paying 150 scrap, where you can find hemp, corn, pumpkin, potato seeds, and drinking water.
