The secluded homes by the lake are even better now. Discovered these myself in Build 41, and now one of the homes is entirely closed off by tall iron fences except for the drive way, which can easily be baricaded. Also, in addition to "Ben's cabin" on the other side of the lake still having a garunteed spawn of an antique stove, another one of the houses has a BBQ pit, so you'll never not be able to cook once the power goes down. Its surrounded by trees now too, so plenty of fire wood and building materials to turn the whole thing into a fortress if you want to. Also, in my run, one of the houses was populated with inmates with several dufflebags which was a killer find, but I'm not sure if this is a garunteed spawn or if I was just lucky. S Tier long term base location if you don't mind a half day's walk to get anywhere, unless you have a car.

Secluded, not too far from town, plenty of woodland, and the factory is just up the road. Also, in Westpoint, the Food Market next to the post office and hardware store (next to the 3 floor office building, in the back room is a staircase that leads up to 2 decent apartments, one of which has a window that opens out to a flat roof with a decent amount of open space (can also connect to the second floor of the pile 'o crepe up the other end if the street if you put a floor down. If you can manage to block off/destroy the stairs, you have a safe haven in the middle of town with plenty of potential.

The location I first based in was actually on Riverside. I went to the 5 houses just south of the bar area. Despite being very close to the town, it is actually pretty empty. Moreover, thanks to it being a 2-floor house and thanks to the proximity of the forest (Which is right next to the house), you can easily barricade the entire lower floor while using escape ropes to access it from the outside. Now, it's not fenced in any way, but the low density of zombies, the two floors, and the proximity to an unlimited food supply (outside of winter) makes it, to me, an above average early base, and it can easily be used as a safehouse when you will have seriously settled in somewhere.

glad to see i'm not the only one who based there. the road being a unique shape also helped me find my way back before the map was introduced.

13:20 The farm at the bottom left is the best location in the game imo. Well, the best depends on what you want to do. But if you want a spot that is pretty close to everywhere on the map, then it's the best. Lower population than the one you suggested, especially if you consider the surrounding areas. You will have a proper road for your car and you can park pretty much up to 10 cars outside the house. It's a nice looking big house, and it has a fireplace. You don't have a well, but since it's so close to the house you suggested, you can use that well in emergency situations. It's pretty far to a gas station, but clearing out a gas station is always a problem, so you should make gas runs as sparingly as you can, which means you always bring a car. So it shouldn't be a problem. You have 4 or so choices at that location too, so depending on what town you have cleared out the most, you can adapt. The Riverside Bar is imo the best if you want to be in a town. The Rosewood Gas Station is a solid choice if you have no respawning. With respawns, no thx. That place will swarm will zombies. That town between Rosewood and Riverside have a similar Gas Station setup that is more or less as good. The one at 12:25 might be the best if it's ok to be in the middle of nowhere. If you want to travel to other places it might work if you set up a secondary base for offloading when you make runs. Then you can make many runs at a time and only take home the essential. I don't get the point with the fenced in locations. Sure, it's good to be fenced in, but you can make it yourself and if you're in a high pop location, you're a sitting duck. How are you going to get your cars into your base? Remote locations are vastly superior because you can easily go in and out and offload your car without being disturbed. Helicopters are also less of an issue. Being in a town is just bad in general. I only do it temporarily unless respawns are off. With no respawns, your location doesn't even matter because you can make anywhere completely safe.

I went to the logging company on Apocalypse with default settings, and the place was overrun both inside the warehouses and in the parking lot. I tried to clear them out with my car and couldn't do it because more kept coming from the forest. On my map, the tavern was actually the safest location in Muldraugh, with a very small zombie presence and being closed to a gas station to supply the generator. There's also a lot of props you can break down for base building resources and it's just a short drive from the police station and warehouses.

Rosewood forest homes were my first true love in zomboid. Made for a good story.

I'm new and just recently started my longest run yet (still only 2 weeks). I watched this to see if I should move my base... and to my surprise, I seemed to have picked your favorite spot already! Farm to the west is a great base I think. Not much loot, but in the perfect spot if you find a car and some gas.

One of my favorites was the *smaller* office building, of the Lumberyard. Right past the McCoy sign. There are a ton of already cut logs, lots of woods, a place to forage and its a good distance from the warehouse. It isn't the largest, but it only has two windows on the bottom and you can always build on top of it. Very few zombie encounters...

In my first proper run (I still live there) I spawned on Rosewood and happen to come across this fenced neighborhood. I fell in love with it at first sight due to the tall fences it had. I took one of the houses and barricaded it with composters, later I barricaded the nearest entrance to the south so I'm further protected. Now that you mentioned you can wall off the entire neighborhood, I want to do that now :)

In Muldraugh there is a Tavrn in the south which has low zombies is a bit out of town, but can be made into an awesome base. u have a forest near for trapping and foraging and can easily make a trip into town for supplies.

A very good location i have found is the knox back in MD. There is a gas station next to it, the maccoy logging place is right next to it, it is in the middle of the town while being very quiet, it has a tall fence that can be expanded (better than nothing) and you only need to barricade like 6 windows that are all on the front (no windows on the back side). It also has an upper floor that is perfect for a home and it has a kitchen with a microwave and fridge to get you started. I am currently using it and i highly reccomend it. Good luck and have fun!

When I was new I only started in Riverside because it was less overwhelming, now I am almost to 500 hours and I only start in Westpoint, It's nice being "centrally" located around a bunch of the cities and it has the gun store etc, last playthrough spawned in the motel which was awesome only 2 blocks from the gun store and grocery store.

In the North-East of Muldraugh, past a trailer park and towards the train station there are a few isolated houses next to the forest, one has a big wooden wall with only one entry. The house itself is very small and only one floor but the area is easy to barricade completely. There is a prepper shed nearby that can spawn some decent stuff too.

I'm late but my favorite spot is the log cabin just north of the lumber yard in Muldraugh. It has a well and a wood-burning stove, as well as being extremely safe. Main downside is that it's very isolated, but I don't mind.

West point gun store is my personal fav. Impenetrable windows and if you park a car infront of the door then pop off the wheels, you got a great base and all the guns and ammo you could want, plus youre right next to the river, also trees grow all around you in a few months, your right next to twiggys if you wanna grab a beer or the supermarket for extra food, clearing the horde and getting a sledge is always a pain tho Good job on vid btw, got urself a sub even though brutally smashed into my base and didnt even give it an honorable mention :p

We actually met a good 50 or so zeds in McCoy logging Co. When we cleared it out. Still well worth the effort. Also the fenced lumber yard nearby it seemed to spawn no zombies whatsoever so it was very safe base.

The little suburb town south from riverside has a perfect base. There is a gas station at the end of the little town, two storages, fridges and right next to it a little sea. The houses in the area have a high chance for a generator. In the area you have a book store, laundry and Farming/Tool Shop. In the end you have everything you need to start a base with everything you need. But the great thing of PZ is that every base, every run is different and you experience new ways to appreciate new locations.

For the garage-area in westpoint warehouse you don't need a sledgehammer. There are always open garage doors, so if you kill zombies inside and get a key you can open the garage doors of the same building. Only thing where you could use a sledge (don't need because you can destroy doors) is for the greater building, where garagedoors don't open from the outside, even with a key. It's also one of my favourites. Other bases i like: -Westpoint Docks either the one near the school or the other one north east. Building your base on water gives a good control about the entrances. fishing and foraging areas nearby and the town isn't far away. -southern gas station of rosewood: it is a bit outside of town but there is a small lake nearby. -Muldraugh warehouse area near the motel: only one large vehicle needed to block the entrance, high generator chance, gas station nearby. -Riverside gated community: the last row of houses to the east can be blocked with vehicles, just like in rosewood. i would prefer riverside junk yard, though. - in Marchridge i like to use either the school or the cinema, with enough vehicles you can make them a safe place.

Its a decently place and once you clean the store shelves out of the main area its quite large. Ontop of that, being just outside town there's not too many zombies.

In one of my games I started as a fireman who spawned inside the Rosewood Fire Station. It’s so damn large and empty with some fences around its back and sides that I could build a decent farm there and store a lot of my looted stuff inside its rooms, lockers and shelves and still have space to park around 6 cars inside it (plus out on the parking lot)! Plus, it’s generally close to the downtown shopping strip so looting for food and stuff (and gas!) won’t be a major problem. Definitely one of my favorite bases! Too bad I can’t operate the treadmills in the built-in gym, otherwise I could get some fitness exercises done there when I power up my generator.

Its probably not ideal, but I shacked up in the riverside boat club I think its called. Its the two story building right on the river, just north of the church. Its got two stairways to secure, but tons of books, tons of furniture, an entire kitchen, many bathroooms, close to woods, has cars all over, and you can easily go nearby for loot. Surprisingly not many zombies wander over despite being so close to everything. You can also create a fishing hut so you dont get snuck up on (yes, i learned the hard way).

Muldraugh tavern is great. It's at the end of town, with low zed population. It's right next to the gas station, and has easy access to the highway. There's a lockup right near it which has pretty much guaranteed generator as well as a small warehouse for tools/weapons. Collect every cooking pot/bucket and leave them outside until you've made water collectors.

I personally prefer living somewhere near the intersection between the cities to the west of the houses in Westpoint you mentioned. Not only does it have decent-ish access to all areas if you have a car, there's a gas station nearby as well as ample water sources and hardy any zombie spawns. The problems are that you need to make the base yourself (and as such you don't get any indestructible walls/fences) and you need a car.

Pretty solid base locale!

I found the neighbourhood north north east the school in riverside to be very handy. One side is protected by the forest, I've never seen a zombie come from there in a month. Two of those backyard cabins where you can find generators garden saws screwdrivers are right next to it. Many houses, so a lot of water. Forest is close so perfect for foraging without getting too risky. And on top of that you have two barricaded houses, which have a MASSIVE weapons spawn: machetes, axes, a few guns and gun canisters and a lot others, idk if mods give you more or less weapons, but I have like the four most common weapon mods and the spawn is massive, quite enough to last for a big while. You're close to school but not too close, which I think can be good. Of course plenty of water and food and tools since plenty of houses. Spawn is rough at first but once you get their asses there won't be a lot more coming at you. Maybe the only thing about it is that it's got two big entrances and one small, apart from the northern side of the neighborhood which is just a simple fence, but as I've said just before, you've got the forest, and not a big number of zombies come from over here.

Have you ever thought why there isnt a side map, I mean which shows your location. Would be fun if there is also animals in the game, like horses or so. I think this game has so much potential in it.

@ilikebacon oh hahahahah i didnt know there was that setting.. bbut still, part of the " feel" of that game, is not knowing where or what is close to you in the map, right? like when you already know where everything is in the maps that come with the game, like you know that one where as soon as you leave your spawn spot, there is that school, and you know you go in there to get your backpack and hit up the school cafeteria,? Well, i dont play that map anymore because i know where everything is, its not the same feeling as when i was clueless to where i could find the shit i needed to survive or where the best spot to establish your fort\last stand spot would be, so to me, something defeats the intended "purpose" that the devs wanted to convey that makes PZ, PZ with an addition of a Ubisoft minimap at your beck and call. I mean there are plenty of maps to be found in game, as well as you have your own memory and repetition so why would you need one? The zombies showing up on the map, was just a really obvious and glaring aspect that i had noticed, and one of the first issues i had, but not the only, as you can see lol, and i had already unsubscribed to the mod to even know that an option to turen it off might exist..just not for me, but i still roll deep with 50 other mods lol

The secluded houses will always be my favourite, it's so far out that me and my group of friends can build our own little community with a house each and someone living in the lakeside cabin as the local nutjob

Rosewood Gasstation is also a really good pick. If it has no alarm then you're very set. Nott too isolated, unlimited fuel, spacious outside area, you can also weld the windows shut from both sides and have basically no zeds coming to you. only need to grab a stove, bed and build some walls with water collector barrels and you're set

I like Smokey's Saloon and Restaurant in North Muldraugh. Pretty close to the Farm house. Has good food storages. Near a warehouse and some garages. Has a lot of tress nearby as well. Just need a sludgehammer to break a wall to connect the two parts of it and you got a base with lots of alcohol.

I like running to the military base in the top right and if you go there there are some places there that might work out but also another thing is that the Fort Redstone base's storage mounds don't have hitboxes to the left or right of the front door to said mounds so you can clip right into the armory.

The house in the forest just up the left side of the highway when leaving Riverside is my go-to base. So nice.

When i first started the game i went to the self storage near the factory on riverside. If i ever play in riverside that place is my base all the time. There are trailer houses for scavenging, a lot of cars if you are lucky and two level fence defense a gas station across the factory. It is basically the Mccoy of Riverside. I am kinda ashamed i have invested so many times in game yet i only made my base in self storage :D The storage unit that has bed in it always is open and you don't need to bring a bed too. Thanks for the vid, i will check the other places too

@Pr1vateLime

3 жыл бұрын

Yea! The storage unit bases are great!

An early base that I always move from eventually but is a great beginning area is the Riverside trailer park. Once you clear out the zombies the big house to the South is the most comfortable with quite a bit of storage and a nice bed. Tons of loot in all the trailers and in the two times I started there both times I got a survivor fortified trailer with lots of guns. Usually one of those trailers will also have a cot for traveling sleep arrangements. And there are quite a few car spawns so at least one of them should work. A good place to get some early skills and nearby is a warehouse, gas station, and mechanic shop to loot before you scoot to a main base for long term.

My favorite spot is the 2 stories gas station in the rural town at the middle of the map, you will need to wall it off yourself but it would only take a week or less. There are a lot of plaster and painting at the stores to make the zombies avoid the walls. And you can trap over the road. There is also a fishing pond for water and farming next to it. also halfway to mauldrought there is a antique stove in a cabin i always pick up.

@Pr1vateLime

3 жыл бұрын

Oh nice! Fishing ponds are the best

A place i love is a secluded farmhouse to the north-east (kinda) of Rosewood... no zombie spawns, near a small neighborhood to loot some stuff early in game, the only con i find is that you have to travel a long distance from every spawn location.

US Mail service in Riverside is a good one if you spawn nearby. Has tons of skill books (plus the red books), river to the back and gas station nearby. The building has a large 1st floor which is ideal for rennovation and acess to flat roofing with a slege hammer. There is also a fridge already in the building . Also has nice acess to the sports store if you like using baseball bats.

The rusty rifle in south Muldraugh is also a great spot and i've also had great success in the apartments above the food market and hardware store in Westpoint

The more you know... Be sure to bring a sledge to crack it open!

There is a gas station in Rosewood next to the drive-in, that place is very nice, it has a lake nearby and the road it is by can be used to go to March Ridge. Bit of a road trip to places like Riverside and Louisville.

My favorite is the 2 story bar/restaurant in riverside.. good view, next to the river, easy to fortify, lots of roof/balcony space for crops, lots of parking room, aaaand right next to food, clothes, books, basically anything you can ever need!

I'm building a huge base in the golf club in Louisvile. The log wall is set and now I'm building catwalks around the walls, small bases on the gates and towers at the corners. It's getting really neat.

I always build my base in one of the hunting cabins. This one is East of West Point, and South of the mall. I get maybe 2 zombies out there during the Helicopter event, and there's a wood stove. It's perfect for fishing and trapping. Although it does take a long time to haul things out there.

I made to McCoy Logging Co. for the first time last night, drove right up thinking it was safe, it was not. There was somewhere in the ballpark of a hundred zombies swarming the place for whatever reason. On the other hand, the lumber yard was clear of zeds, and there were lots of cars around so I was able to get out.

These potential base are really good selection for new players learning the game (I choose the 2nd in Muldraugh), depending on your gameplay you should at least check the following : > spacious enough for farm, parking area and building spaces > pre-walled (wire fences zombies can see you, entrance needed to be blocked) > distance to nearest town (further = less threat and challenge, you rarely defend it, closer = risky but makes defending it challenging, not advised for new players) > built-ins (well, farm, large storage furnitures and shelves, etc.) > resource abundance (near forest, gas station, lake/river) > Are you a hoarder/collector? Then base size for those who would like to collect all furniture, posters, arcade machine, vehicles and such. (not a bad end game idea/challenge, The Collector)

I have a good one i did. Go to Riverside, the big gated community, youll need 3 gates and a small wall to wall about 30 houses in! And then you can loot all houses inside your compound and have near endless storage and easy lootings! Also expanding and base building there is real easy, you can forage south of the compound and, downside: no shops, just houses.. but just outside the compound to the west is all of riverside

my fav was the junkyard of riverside, you can barricade yourself in with the scrap arround and some furnitures from nearby, and then, i just start to gather furniture or craft it yourself, there's some barrels nearby to the east in a wooden building, that can collect water. and even when i got one of the vans repaired, i went all the way to the lake house and took the stove, once i did all that... i was set, you have fish nearby, good sources of food. a lot of junk to play with, and even a generator that i found nearby.

If i recall correctly, my first real base was at the Sunstar hotel, i mainly worked on walling in the front area with walls and a large gate while using walls to replace the bottom floor windows finally a walled in area around the back leading towards the side area leaving an area for farming and parking up to the point where you have the back entrance to the hotel's kitchen. That all said, during my playthrough it took a long ass time before i found a sledgehammer so i had to make due with simple wooden or steel sheet barricades until i found it.

Funny story about the logging corporation base in Muldraugh. Just a couple days ago at the time of writing this me and a friend were playong together and went to loot and secure the place so we could use it as a safehouse if one of us got caught out at night. We had gotten in, set up some sheets on the windows, and right as I went to board up the windows we see a few zombies out front. So ee go to take care of them, then another friend drove right up to the place doing donuts in a semi-truck and attacting every zombie in a 5 mile radius. We have tried going back there several times with no success.

One of my favorite locations is the Rusty Rifle... A good bas near a gas station and supplies and u can enjoy building on that place

I holed up in the post office in riverside as one of my safe houses. Plenty of storage, two stories tall and it has a garage. It isn’t the best location in single player, but it’s really good in multiplayer. It’s next door to a sports shop so there are plenty of melee weapons and it has the river directly above it. After drawing away the local hoards, we hardly have any issues with our rambunctious neighbors.
