It would suck if someone placed their traps around your house to trap you.

Well this is another possibility, since player generated bases are the basis of this game as well. You could build a maze or bait people into your death hole, then loot up the prize later :) Quite devious, but smart!

...that is what I'd LIKE to do, but as it stands, the amount of wood you find doesn't even compare to how much wood you need to build anything remotely large. If you manage to find multiple wood piles then you're set, but the odds of that are extremely low and you can always die.

I'd love to build large mazes and death pits but Wood is earned far too slowly when you're just wacking at trees. Spikes would be a cool addition to add for some time in the future when wood is less scarce.

Wouldn't that be Indiana Jones: Rust XD

I don't think we need some Mayan feeling or some shit

If I was trying to survive in a forest filled with people out to kill me, I would grind away at some wood until it could possibly impale an intruder. After all, everyone else has guns. We need more methods to best enemies with superior weaponry with cunning and wit, and traps would fit that purpose.

I like the grenade idea. As of now grenades are pretty useless, but strung all together with a few of them...ouch

How about Zombie traps. A trip wire or door hides a room full of collected zombies. It'd be great if we could lure zombies with a blood pack or something.

Pull zombies in to a room and have it either openable or trip wired to open and release the zombies on the intruders.

i love the Fallout trapps, bear trapps, rigged shootgun, grenade bouqet etc

other way to defend to etc improved barricade - stronger or maby add sharpned poles to it so you get damage when running in to it or trying to climb/jump over it.

maby option to get guard dog or something thats in a hidden cage that be relesed when coming to close or stepping on tripp wire.

May I suggest barbed wire or shards of glass to be a lot less clunkier in terms of materials and space?:) Incognito is the way to go, if you want people to wonder why they're bleeding or stuck at a certain place. Although sharpened poles would be a good defense against enemy AI, it probably would be too obvious for people to run into. You could make a way to make a maze with it and lead people / monsters to a place you can easily kill them and safely loot their body at.
landmines, alarm system (noise and light)

I see your point of the whole "Rambo" perspective and utilizing terrain mixed with easily accessible materials. Definitely a great starting point to increasing your chance of survival against mobs and players alike

It's currently in closed alpha testing which you can't get into without a key, currently keys aren't being handed out as far as i'm aware.

Yeah, you're right.

I asked Garry for a key and he gave me 6.

I happened to lose 1, though.

Garry seems pretty generous with those keys at least:). Can't you still buy the gold pack thing to get access to it?

home made ieds? or maybe a trip wire mine? even a pressure plated mine?

[YUM YAB]

to be able to dig would be cool. you dig a hole then put a fake covering over it and someone falls in
ladders seem to be necessary part of the game too, would make fort warfare more interesting
