The trashcan DREADFORT was built in conjuction with the 8th DREADFORT from a glut of resources attained during the wipe. It was a proof of concept of how big a DREADFORT could theoretically  go. It was not completed as halfway through it was deemed unfeasible to do in a 1 week wipe scenario and the upkeep would be a nightmare.

The interior had one room, which was later covered in black signs to mimic the [[w:Kaaba]].

The Adolf DREADFORT was built after a several hour mission picking door frames to level a tower already on the site, since BMW had arrived on the server halfway through a 2 week wipe cycle. The DREADFORT was one of the most massive to date, and infamously featured The Space Needle, which was a tower so high that planes flew under the top perch. It also caused massive lag when people would come into render distance of it, was well as causing graphical tearing and glitches. The DREADFORT was leveled one night by a coalition of other clans very upset that BMW had come to the server, and replaced it with an autistic screed.

NewBoondock DREADFORT suffered early setbacks due to a multihour siege by cheating Chinamen who were glitching themselves into high external walls to shoot people. However, the DREADFORT was eventually assembled and was even larger than the Adolf fort, sans Space Needle. Adjacent to the DREADFORT was the largest Fort Taylor built to-date. 3o6 attempted multiple attacks, failing each time, resulting in them constructing a tower next door to try and snipe. Taylor countered this with The Great Wall of Autism that obscured their view of THE DREADFORT. 3o6 later claimed they foundation raided THE DREADFORT the day before the wipe, but the interior had already been demolished by BMW.

Short lived and marked by suspected admin abuse, the 2nd Rusticity DREADFORT was of little consequence. The wipe occurred during one of Taylors periods of inability to play, resulting in no leadership and no vision, which led to a short wipe cycle.

The Final DREADFORT ever, and the last base of BMW in its original Rust era, the 3rd Rusticity DREADFORT was a much different style than previous DREADFORTS. Built and engineered by [[Measly Twerp]], the fort took on a square design in contrast to the iconic cylindrical design of the past.

In the first few iterations of the DREADFORT, the exterior was a hodgepodge of bases, walls, and other assorted structures. However, starting with the 7th iteration, a courtyard was added to give an extra cushion of security for entering and exiting the main structure

=== Space Needle ===
=== Space Needle ===
The space needle existed in infancy all the way back to the first iterations, but as a mere flagpole. It wasnt until later iterations when the Bimmers attempted to see how far it could be, most famously peaking with the ADOLFS DREADOFORT. The needle had no real purpose, other than for laughs.
=== Shitshack ===
=== Shitshack ===
The shitshack that served as the progenitor base for the DREADFORT was always built in a fairly familiar style. Usually a 2 story square structure, the shitshack was given the name of a fast-food restaurant and referred to such throughout the entirety of the wipe ie Pizza Hut, Wing Stop, etc.

While Fort Taylors history began as a shitshack in the desert on Goon Playground, with BMWs continued dominance and glut of resources, it was able to evolve into a second DREADFORT. Starting with the 10th DREADFORT, the massive overflow of stone and wood allowed for almost endless construction projects, and the prospect of having a second massive base reduced the risk of a total loss from a raid, since invaders would be unable to fully raid both.

=== Roof ===
The roof of the DREADFORT was one of the few features of the DREADFORT that remained in flux throughout all iterations. No two roofs were ever the same, sometimes a complicated bunker featuring plenty of shooting angles and others featuring pubbie zoos used to bed in unsuspecting players for the Bimmers amusement.
