I took the book store just east of the trader on the main road. It started out with a wide ditch and spikes. I ended up digging a tunnel through the mountain across the street to the river for resources. Concrete and iron bars for walls and an escape tunnel that goes east to the house at the corner. Built a kill shack down the street by the hospital thats concrete and iron bars. I just light some fires and wait. It's been a while but I think I'm almost to day 700.

I also found with the melee base, lining the outside with barbed wire before placing spikes stopped them popping through!

The first base is my go to. I usually farm enough and cobble for a 7x7 center (9x9 footprint) to make a comfy base for day 7. I usually make it my goal to have a concrete one around day 35/42 just in case lol. Its my old reliable.

Hell yeah its personally my favourite too it truly is a flawless base!

First one is great and it rarely takes damage. I made an underground base with an exit leading to an above ground “garage” with a hatch and jail door so I can pull my mini bike right in, close the door and escape to my lair below. The other “exit” comes up from the bottom of that first kill station. Wayyyy better than trying to make a massive wall around a building.

I think I like the 1st one the best. It's simple, doesn't require a ton of resources, and it WORKS. And hitting the zombies with melee is easier in that one than the vertical concrete column design. I wack the columns more than I hit the zombies. 🤣

It’s good to line the roof with railings too; You can shoot through Wood Railings pretty effectively but they do have a respective hitbox… funny enough I am certain you cannot fall through them, you can walk across them (but you bob a bit lol) meaning they too in a way are a cheap iron bar. They can also easily be upgraded with one forged iron to a 300hp iron fence but it has a wonky hitbox. It can also be shot through but the higher durability also makes it more vision obscuring. The wood railings are very easy to see through. One last note is if you do ever use railings anyone remember to rotate and that the edges won’t line up pixel perfect due to the voxels 😅

Nice thats a good tactic! I done the same thing in my main world and it definitely works well 👍

A 3x3 or 4x4 pit with ramps on the outside to easily get out and a tower in the middle, bars along the inner wall laying flat so you can shoot through and will stop spiders the pits wide enough the dogs can’t get across and if built right you can jump across to the tower where you’re gonna fight the horde no traps needed except maybe barb wire to slow them down on the outer walls to slow them down by the time you get the hybirds you should already have it upgraded to concrete maybe even stainless steal

Im still playing the ps4 edition with my boyfriend, abd youve given me a few ideas for making a base from scratch.

Hey NB, wiuld you consider doing a base over water? Any advice would be helpful even if it’s “don’t do it at any price “ ! 😁

The pole is my favorite by far. I like the idea of a pitfall base a lot but I tried the pillar 50s on the current playthrough that im on and I hate them. Im constantly smacking them instead of the zombies. They do work really well if you're using a gun/bow/xbow

I hit the poles a lot as well, but I pretty much have discarded my club and go exclusive machete. From my standpoint I am going to carve up the corpses anyways and the machete does it in one hit. Also I think bladed weapons get between the poles better for some reason (just a guess/observation, not sure if it's true) and when I do hit the poles, the block damage is less, especially if you have leveled up the breaking and entering skill.

@NaturalBornNZ

I know that the clubs have longer reach than the bladed weapons but the machete is good you just have to make sure you use it untill the quality hits zero before you repair it so you can get the most out of it 👍

Ok, another comment. With your structural woes on that one base, have you ever tried the diagonal reinforcement beams? I had a cave in on my pit base a while ago so added these to all the corners and didn't get a second cave in. They don't really get in the way, but I have never used that base on hoard night. (Did get a couple wandering hoards though)
