![Conan Exiles, Hard to Raid Clan Base
This is an excellent small clan base or clan starter base. This design features a central room with enough space for a furnace, carpenters bench, armorers bench, and blacksmith bench so your group can start churning out high end building materials and weapons. Your loot will be kept safe with a state of the art third floor loot room accessible only by a destructible two story sandstone staircase that your clan will destroy before you go offline, providing you with unparalleled offline raid protection.

![Rust Building 3.0 Encourages Griefing (What to do?)
Rust Building 3.0 encourages griefing.
The original update which first allowed tool cupboards to be locked was a great change in reducing griefing. If raiders got all of your loot and were simply left with a locked tool cupboard, there was a good chance they would be satisfied and leave.
Now raiders are almost guaranteed to find some resources within the TC, and so theyll destroy it since TCs are really not that hard to destroy. Most bases are going to have a lot of stone, wood, and metal inside the TC its almost always going to be worth breaking the TC, and then your base will be griefed, or simply decayed before you get back to it.
Is there anything to do for this? My suggestion is to place your tool cupboard visible behind bullet proof glass. Doing this will force raiders to make a conscious choice to use two C4 just to get whats inside your TC. They will be aware that they are not going to uncover a juicy loot room just resources inside of a TC. Will they do it? Raiders may fully raid your loot rooms and leave your TC alone. At worst, bullet proof glass will give your tool cupboard more protection than a sheet metal door. Check out this video for a demonstration.
