In the new RUST what is special about caves?
In the new version of RUST what do caves do? Do they have special resources? Can bases be built in them? What play elements do they add? What strategies do they expose?
Best Answer
Since posting this (and I'm scoring you TL since you beat me on this) I have gained experience on the caves.
Pluses
Cave walls are indestructible
- Caves have limited entrances
- Caves can be fairly deep (I have been in caves that exceed three "wall levels"). Levels can extend above and below "local ground level" giving you "exterior walls" that are quite high
Minus
- Cramped quarters can make item placement difficult
- Cramped quarters can make rooms difficult to navigate
- Since you are building on "rock" there can be many places that you can not place foundation so some interior placement may be unstable
General Info
- There are no special items in caves
- There are barrel spawns near caves
- Sighting of caves can be difficult
- Because of their defensive value caves can be hotly contested immediately on server reset
- Because of their defensive value caves are not hotly contested "mid-game" as you are probably going to have to blow several armored walls to get to anything valuable

How do caves work in Rust?
While caves are not explicitly marked, small circular shadows or divots on the map indicate a concave area. If you think you've found one but can't find the entrance, pull out a building plan to see if you are building blocked.What do caves look like in Rust 2021?
The small sized caves comes in three different layouts and they all include a single entrance and exit. The puzzles inside the caves are easy and non-deadly. They also include one or two build rooms.The Caves \u0026 NEW Bucket Elevator Exploit Guide | Rust Tutorial

Answer 2
My team mates and I have made use of the caves for a while now. They can be very difficult to navigate. It takes skill to get in and especially out. This however is excellent for your safety if you are willing to go through the tedious steps, it gives you a lot of peace of mind knowing that many wont find you and others wont bother to attack you. If you consider the relocation and rebuild of your raided house on surface every time and gathering all over again, it just makes perfect sense to go underground.
