Agreed. There should be some kind of persistent storage that only you can have access to, but maybe with a very limited number of slots. After spending 10+ hours collecting and building, it makes it very hard to continue the game when everything gets server wiped (although this will continue happening with each new build) or looted.

My strategy now is to not hoard items, you are only making the pay off for raiders greater. Just research everything and only farm resources when you need them.
Of course you end up with loads of collected food and armor in storage, maybe ammo too if you get airdrops, but once its researched its replaceable. Or play on No Sleeper servers (not many around though).
if you have surplus building materials, make a second house far out of the resource areas for storage to split the risk.
You can also hide some essentials (spare metal doors, gun, ammo, Hatchet, armour, meds) in stashes around your area which are very difficult to spot.

the one called "hunger games" where people are crying about PVP? LOL LOL
gonna have to fire up rust later and pwn some noobs I think.
press f1 for the console then type the above
Well if the game mechanics allow it, of course its "acceptable" and not an exploit. But there are many who draw a line between raiding, and taking someones stairs out and replacing with a ceiling, to render a house unusable.. etc.. While permitted, its not exactly fair play. But of course you need to accept that it can happen.
cheers, me and a mate are playing on low pop server atm and want to play a busier server for a bit more action.
The PVP aspect of it make the game for me, i don't see the point in playing a survival game if theres little to no risk of dieing! still though, fun to roll the noobs and the hoarders on low pop servers

you always could just not the pillar and foundation they are on
I helped someone do it ages ago on the hunger games server after his house was robbed, we axed it to death
Everyday I log on, someone's attempted to raid my house. Fortunately I log out with the most valuable things on me and the server is usually restarted some time, so I am not ingame!
Once you've built a house and researched almost everything, feels like there isn't really anything more to do at the moment.

God...finally got Oxide.
Apart from PvP and raid people (the point of the game!), or build another house. Trouble is, if you are on a server with all friendlies there not much scope for the former, so its boring.
Been playing this game for the past few days, like it.. Even the people who try to be an ass, makes it more intresting when you swap your rock for a shotgun and decorate the wall of your home with their head.
Are their any good clans / cmty's out there looking for a new recruit.

Haha yeh I do that! Run around with the starter rock and no clothes, and the M4 in my quick inventory, so I can just scroll to it and blast them suckas away
