The current state of the game is the best it's been for solo players because:
1) Components make high end guns rarer (better for solos who usually use mid or low tier weapons)
2) Components make it harder for clans to scale gear production like they could with BPs or XP
3) Buffs to the revolver and the Semi Rifle help level the playing field by giving solos access to high powered mid tier weapons
4) Hemp is more abundant so cloth is less of a struggle
5) The flamethrower debuff actually makes wooden bases viable again

![The War Gnome (18K Stone, 3K Metal, 7C4 Hard to Raid Rust Base)
Small but mighty, the War Gnome reigns supreme in the Rust solo, duo, and trio base market. Bristling with stone and iron, this base features two state of the art prison cell airlock entrances (perfect for stopping door campers) and a second floor observation area. This base offers 360 degree fields of vision and fire around your entire base. Keep your loot safe with the War Gnomes six separate loot rooms and keep your base from being griefed with two external tool cupboards (make sure to put a lock on both). Enjoy the convenience of growing cloth in the bases protected courtyard (and never run out of cloth again). This base is a beast for the price and the design is fully updated to address the twig and TC updates.
