There are many construction options once you become more advanced and you learn to upgrade to the different tiers, but we\u2019re going to focus on the basics. After all, you can\u2019t build a mansion if you don\u2019t know how to lay the foundations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How to Build in Rust<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The following steps list all the elements you need to get started when you first build in Rust. If you can master these aspects, you\u2019re well on your way to advanced construction.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 1: Building plan<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You\u2019ll need 20 pieces of wood to construct the building plan. When you place it in your hot-bar and activate it, a building menu appears. Each menu item reveals what you can build and what resources are needed. Without the building plan, you won\u2019t be building any shelters for a long time to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-163660\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/image\/upload\/v1614023303\/rust-wheel-menu-768x432_f69ssx.png\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\"><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 2: The mighty hammer<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you place any structural component down, it will be constructed of twigs as a default setting. If you place the wood hammer in your hand and click on the item, you can upgrade it to a different material. In the same way, the hammer can repair any part that has been damaged.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-163661\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/image\/upload\/v1614023299\/rust-hammer-150x150_m7aua8.webp\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\"><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 3: Tool cupboard<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While you\u2019ll need 1,000 pieces of wood to build the cupboard, it\u2019s a handy item to place in your base. It defines the entire building area as yours, and no one else can construct anything in that space. You will also unlock more building privileges for more advanced blueprints. Remember to lock it so that no one else can access it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-163662\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/image\/upload\/v1614023301\/rust-cupboard-tool-150x150_jkv7qf.webp\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\"><\/p>\n<h2><b>The rusty builder<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course, you\u2019ll also need resources to be able to build in Rust. For instance, you\u2019ll need wood, metal, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/rust.en.softonic.com\/articles\/how-to-get-cloth-in-rust-in-5-easy-methods\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cloth<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/rust.en.softonic.com\/articles\/how-to-get-stone-in-rust-in-5-easy-methods\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">stone<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for the basic and advanced components.
