Burrow

Rust Cave Base Plugin for Oxide & Carbon

Set a door into a rock and dig rooms inside it, one section at a time.

new Carbon Oxide v0.102.2 Updated

Overview

Type /burrow and it finds a rock nearby that will hold a base, sets a wooden door into it and hollows out everything behind the door that the rock will take: up to four floors joined by spiral stairs.

Sections start as twigs, upgrade with a hammer and need a cupboard for upkeep. Every wall, floor and ceiling buried in the rock is indestructible, so nobody can open a hole into the rock. A burrow that stops paying upkeep shrinks instead of crumbling, and can be dug out again later.

Hatch shafts to the top of the rock, a door finder for scouting rock faces, and undo/redo for every section.

Also works on large desert rocks and icebergs for absolutely vast bases!

If more than one level can fit inside a rock or iceberg then spiral staircases are deployed so you can access each layer.

On rocks you can also punch through to the top and have a hatch to the top.

Build and extend like any other base. Just cannot build in cliffs due to terrain limits.

Every download is licensed to you and watermarked with your details.

Features

  • Rooms dug into real rocks, up to four floors
  • Raid-proof rock walls
  • Upkeep shrinks the base instead of opening it
  • Hatch shafts to the surface
  • Undo and redo
  • Burrows can be made invisible (Admin setting) - so nobody can track you down
  • Invisible mode means anything touching your base becomes invisible too - land your mini and poof its gone!
