Description

A fully custom heli tower.

This heli tower is, of course, invincible. It is a great way to provide your players with a heli tower thus discouraging them from building their own (which can save thousands of entities from having player-built heli towers all over the map)

Notable features:
– Small flat footprint for easy placement on any map
– Tower base extends into the terrain to provide easy placement opportunities even if the terrain is not flat
– Cube prefabs utilized in the majority of construction to keep server and client performance smooth
– Electronic front door
– Zipline mount points on two sides of the top
– Full lighting system activated by a switch on the base level control panel
– Emergency ladder shaft to go up or down from the shooting floors instead of using the elevator (also great if there is an issue with the RustEdit.dll and your electronics stop working, can still use the ladder
– 3x huge shooting floors with cover to hide behind
– All shooting floors are walled in glass with open slights similar to an embrasure

I will keep these prefabs up to date as more ideas come in or any bugs are found.

    Looks cool. Works awesome. If you run a PVE server with NPC’s/Zombies, there’s an extra little surprise. Had to take hours and hours to build and test. Totally worth it.

    Players love this tower, it’s basically our most popular “monument”. The decor is visually immersive, and the electronics provide fun interaction with the tower itself (automated guns, elevator vs. ladder, buttons for entry, etc.) We’ve seen a huge reduction in wasteful empty “heli towers”. Instead, players flock to this tower for their heli fights!

    Looking forward to future updates, can’t wait to see what else they think up.

    Beautifully built! No more need for my players to waste time building a heli tower that’ll get blown up. 10/10

  1. players get “rpc error in server_raiselowerfloor” when they press the elevator button to go down

    • The elevator has been removed. We were not getting that error but ours was killing players in some situations. The constant issues with elevators over the years just is not worth the risk anymore.

    • Sadly those were not the only electronics being flipped or just completely moved due to changes in core Rust prefabs. We stripped down a lot of the electronics. Most players rarely used them anyways. If cold becomes an issue at your tower (we like to let the players suffer on our server haha, sort of a trade off for having an invincible tower) you can place a comfort volume prefab or heat volume prefab around your tower.

Prefab FAQ – How do I host this .zip/.7z file I just purchased on my server?

• First, you want to unzip the file. You can do so by just double-clicking it to open, then drag the contents to the desired location (you may need to install an external unzipping software if you don’t already have one)
• Next you will find either a structure of folders or just the .prefab files (it’s the important ones).
• You can then open your map via Rustedit (How to install Rustedit)
• Then install those .prefab files into your …/rustedit/CustomPrefabs folder
• Launch Rustedit and open your map and within the ‘Prefabs’ list you should see the new prefab/monument you downloaded once you search its name

Additionally, here’s a great video that easily covers adding monuments/prefabs to maps of your own!

• Installation is not included with any products on the site, however, if needed we may assist if you reach out to our support.

Currently all products on Lone.Design will be contained within a zipped file which is the .7z or .zip that you see. I believe windows 10 and up can unzip on its own without 3rd party tools, but in that case, if you’re unfamiliar with zipped files here are 2 programs I recommend to easily unzip zipped files.

Zipping/Unzipping Tools
