Hey, we live in this alpha in house_old_victorian 1 and it's pretty dope. Has a big wall around, garage, underground system.
I love how you not only showcase the entire building and it's resources but also provide suggestions on base building. Very well put together video I will 100% be using this in my game.
The prison is a favorite of mine as well. I found the drive in theater to be very good. Good walls. Nice choke points, 2 vending machines , lots of loot. A great water source as well in the middle of the parking lot. Which I built my fighting area over. Great visibility and barb wire in between the parking blocks works well. I have electric fence all the way around now for the day 21 horde along with a few other traps and the horde was very easy.

Loved the video! With professional use of the super digger to show instantly what you trying to express and also punching a block to show hps to see stats one would being living with. I can't help but back-check myself to see if someone would be confused here even if they are not familiar with the mod weapons and "state" your in, and I find it to be crystal clear for even newbies to understand regardless of how your flying around, as it's clear your in that mode to show faster results. You also talk about block hieght on fencing, including "half blocks", which is important for some folks. (I personally like halves myself, the more I can see the better.)
I used the new Life hope cabin for a blood moon. The zombies didn't know how to get down the hatches but then they dug straight through the dirt. So to make use of the bunker it's probably a good idea to build walls and floors inside that underground section so zombies can't just dig in
I love the fact that this games older n there still ppl playing and enjoying it. Like u I love the building. Fallout 4, 7 days to die, conan.. there's a game called crossout where u build battle cars. Glad to see someome else loves that shiznit.. good video brotha. Keep em coming
I really enjoy the working stiff poi with the wall going around the back. Fully closed in just need to close off the fenced lawn and garden area in the front on the side also destroy the dumpster near the wall. I also build stairs from the roof to the wall to deal with zombies

That's where I'm staying right now. I usually just build my own base but on this run I'm using the Undead Legacy mod and you can't just mass produce frames on day one, so I'm staying in this POI for a few weeks until I have the resources to build something for myself.
I think the best POI I found for defense is the business row with a Shotgun Messiah/cafe/warehouse that has the bridge on top. Great place to defend on early horde nights, and you can build a fairly decent starter base in the loot area above the drop ceiling. The bridge very effectively channels them down a path, and the area with the solar panels can be built up with more defenses.
The one I like the most is the trailer. It's a great place to start, easy to lock down for the first few days, and then build out from there. My current build has a pretty good wall around it with battlements and bastions at the four corners to get a better angle on attackers. It doesn't stop vultures, but it's a good beginning base.
I love the Working Stiffs hardware store in the pine forest just north of the first trader. It has a nice cobblestone and concrete wall around the entire back. The building is made if the same. Tons of space inside once you remove the store displays, roof access, large open space in the back walled in area, and if you take out thethe stuff in the outdoor harder center area, you can put up walls and turn the garden center Into a huge garage with doors on both ends so you don't have to back up. I put all my electrical generators and wiring on the roof, I put my storage in the break room area, and my crafting stations in the showroom area. It takes 50ish blocks to completely close off any doors or window zombies might come in which can be made quickly with wood and upgraded later when you have cobble or concrete. And relatively centralized on the map for easy access anywhere.

This is my favorite "pre-made" base as well!
The church that has the big library underneath it and all the coffins is incredibly busted and made better in A20. You get on the roof where the loot stash is and the only thing you ever have to really deal with is vultures
Built my first horde night base with your example from the last video. Worked like a charm. First 15 days I lived on top of a garage in the burnt forest. Then I built a cabin by the ranger station. Used the lookout tower made of steel for my horde nights until I built the new horde base. All in all I like the building upgrades in a20, but farming is terrible. And the loot system is worse off. I like the trader changes though. I definitely think the game got a lot harder.

I found #9 modern house in one of my last playthroughs and absolutely loved that house. I knocked out that weak wall, built it up with the proper blocks and made that living room into my storage and work area. At night, I'd just climb the tower and sit on the roof and take pot shots at zombies for easy xp farming. It was also located in a neighborhood with lots of homes around so could always go out looting at night if I felt brave enough. You caught my interest with that laundromat and will have to check it out next time I come across one.

Sadly the Boobie Trap no longer exists as a standalone POI, it now forms part of the "City Filler" POIs and is in the city tiling system. It's got a nice rework inside too.
Think you may have missed it, but in the Cemetery POI, they usually have a huge underground structure underneath them that makes a great base. It can usually be reached through one of the other two buildings outside the church.

I've used the old fire station twice now, and it's very pleasant once you've fixed it up a bit. Drive a mine shaft down in one corner of the basement, put smelting stuff down there, workbenches in the garage, gardens on the roof ... very nice.
I've actually become a fan of using the power substation POI. Sure, there's a bit of a wall you have to replace, but it's small and concrete other than that. When you inevitably find that 500 stack of cobblestone or wood blocks that you have no real use for, it's super easy to build a wall. And you have a basement for a snazzy bedroom. :D
I prefer the Working Stiffs hardware store, concrete walls with a perfect spot for a powered garage door leading into the loading dock area that you can make into a motor pool. The loot room is right next to the loading dock and you can turn it into your own storage area... already has a garden department for your farm, a big flat roof for a helipad, turn the suoply/break room into your crafting area. Chance for a working vending machine in there. And the office into your bedroom or kitchen. Easy to add another wall around the parking lot to expand your perimeter as well
I played with a friend in Alpha 15 in the prison. It was one of the best moment in that game for me in 8 years. Nice video. So much effort and details.

I'm currently using the burnt out radio tower, in the burnt forest biome. There's only one zombie that spawns in, and the majority of the building is pretty sturdy (concrete/brick). I've converted the bottom portion of the building into my horde base and the top portion into my crafting/storage base. It takes a bit of work to patch up some of the the holes in the building, but the height of the building helps keep zombies from sensing you.
It all depends on: do you want to fights hordes at/in youre base or not (extra building). The prison is one of the best especially for playing with some friends.
one reason i got attracted to 7 days to die was seeing someone playing it & being able to change the entire environment.. most survival games have permanent structures that cant be changed & you cant build into them or join up your base to them properly.. you cant dig the ground etc.. the only disappointing thing about the game is how the devs have made sure no innovative & creative & fun ways you want to build your bases will ever work as good defensive structures.. apart from pathing them in a line & making them fall down again or killing them in that line

@Walking Jedd Gaming i put my sledge on the wrong side i think.. i think its best to have it on your right side i think it might be the sledge that is setting off the demos.. i had 4-5 explode one horde night.. i put the sledge on my left.. the demos right side
still watching, but when i went from a small started house to the big city i moved into a prowlin pete's with those kind of rooftop PoI's i like how you can shove some storage boxes underneath the venting gaps (after breaking out the frames) and it doesn't take extra room if you want to do something else. though of course plenty of room to make a storage section but i find it nice.
None of these compares to house_old_bungalow_11. There are two buildings, the house itself which I don't really recommend and the smaller building to the side. The small building is made entirely out of concrete at the ground level with a steel vault door in it (hooked up to the new power system so it can only be opened once and remains open forever so I don't suggest opening it) as well as some steel powered garage doors (same deal as the steel vault door, I don't recommend opening them). Once inside the small building you see that there is a elevator that goes down into a much larger bunker complex which is great for living out of. The most important aspect of the poi in terms of it being a starter base however is the 6 large trees you will find outside of the buildings. If you notice those trees are in dirt surrounded by what looks like flagstone, if however you cut down those trees you can actually plant crops in those places. That is right, the place comes with SIX 5x5 farm plots pre constructed for your use. So to summerize, it has concrete walls with some parts being steel. A bunker underneath for living that also connects to the house in case you ever needed an escape tunnel. Most importantly the poi comes with 150 farm plots that are ready to be used by the player from day 1. It is easily the best poi I've found thus far for turning into a base on day one.
Literally lived in 5/10 of these POIs, and at some point considered all of the rest. Perfect list
I’m glad I found this because it started me off in the wasteland and I had no idea what POI to use

8 is probably my favorite place for a living base. Its dependable and fun to upgrade. One of the other fire departments (the one with the huge garage with lootables on shelves all around) gets an honorable mention because on one of my playthroughs it had ALL of its vending machines working, felt like cheating almost lol.
I've been using the paper mill poi the last few games I've done if I find it day 1. Its got 1 central staircase that connects the 4 levels that only needs 3 blocks to repair the path and an outside ladder that can be extended, 2nd floor has a vending machine that tends to be working on my playthroughs, 3rd floor has a cooking pot on top of the fridge, and the roof can be made large enough to have a decent amount of farm plots. I tend to use the 2nd floor as a hatch hallway base for horde night while living on the 3rd floor, work well for the first 4-5 horde nights while I take my time building my end game horde base else where.
I've used the cemetary in a couple of playthroughs. I did exactly what he said. I ran a line of blocks around the top with some bars and a couple open spaces to be able to throw things. The walls up there are thick enough that you can dig out a layer of block to build cubbies to put all your benches and boxes. I built a bar walkway at the same height on the outside and flattened the roof out for a garden. That place is very defensible.
I chose a tiny pass&gass station. in its backyard I have my garden, and it has a little bunker.
I usually pick a house with the barn next to it T.T You know the one where you climb up the ladder and there's a cut out central spot then a catwalk over to loot? That one.
I'm currently living on top of Motel 7. 2 vending machines, put in bar overhangs, cemented the windows and doors, and viola, I've had no problems. Plenty of roof space over the rooms for farming, storage and manufacture over the office section.
the cemetary can be modified into a really good horde base, mine straight down under the tower and make a zombie trap with blade traps
Loved the video! Loads of great tips, and thank you for being so thorough! I’ll definitely do a prison base when starting a new save now!
My favorite POI to live in is the Crack-a-Book/Savage Country apartments. You have a Crack-a-Book for schematics, Savage Country for clothes, 6 apartments above them to go through. There are a number of zombies on the roof that can be a pain, but if you take them out in the early stages and don't panic, they're pretty easy to take out. There's a single dog on the 4th floor, the 3rd floor has the main loot, which has several zombies guarding it but also a land mine that you can let them walk into. The outside of the building has a fire escape that can easily be laddered up, and if you take out the fan setups on the roof there's plenty of space for growing crops.
I have used the church/cemetery before - the modern house looks good - excellent perimeter wall and strong building plus ready made workshop and mine underneath. Plus good space for farm plots within the perimeter wall. Plus that tower structure overlooking the front door has a lot of possibilities as well. You really do not want too big a POI as they are ultimately indefensible early game in a lot of cases.
I discovered and was strongly recommending the New Hope Life Cabin in a group game, but everyone wanted to move to a new Biome. Ah well, fair enough. In my solo game, I am now on my 34th horde night and have done all but the very first in the radio tower station. The fencing served well enough for a while, since I could shoot through it. But the zombies soon got strong enough that I could not keep up with repairs and shooting to maintain the fence. Fortunately, I had already created a birdcage with bars/eaves over the roof of the small building. There are no ladders. I nerd pole up through a hole in the ceiling that has stacked hatches. But I have never had the zombies even get into the building. I put a layer of walls just inside the fencing that I have upgraded each week to where they are now almost all steel blocks. I have only just bothered to add an electric fence on two sides and a pair of spotlights, but not because I really need them. I also have a basic turret on one side. I cannot express how consistently the horde does NOT seem to be aware that they need to get inside the building if they are ever going to get to me. I can only think it is because there is no ladder. They get inside the wall often enough. But all they do is mill around angrily and die on spikes or in my crosshairs. The walls of the building rarely take more than a few hundred damage at any point. Fact is, this has been so successful that it has the downside of sometimes being difficult it collect loot bags because so many spikes are still standing.
The hardware store is the best, in my opinion. The one near Jen’s. Everything is mad of concrete, including the closed fence in the back. I build steps and make the zombies walk along the top of the fence to get to the kill box I build at the top. Then I can pick the big ones off before they get to the top, and melee most when they get up there. Once I fortify my own blocks with concrete it’s pretty much impenetrable. 👍🏻 Plus you have multiple ways to drop down and run if things go bad.
The old firehouse is my favorite of the bunch. Replace the stairway up with blocks, slows the pathing down, install a piston pusher or two, an electric fence or two, and it's a good spot for a month or two into game. Minimal effort to make it defensible. Live upstairs and on the roof, reinforce the bottom some so you hear wanders trying to get in. And on horde night, open the door and let em in. Fight them on the blocks, pretty easy to defend with a bow and a sledgehammer.
The buildings in this game are amazing, so much details
In a city, one good simple sturdy POI is that small popnpill, square shaped and 5000hp concrete walls. Not many windows or doors to replace.
The Working Stiff tools stores that are set up like a Lowes or Home Depot. Those buildings are mostly concrete with a concrete wall around 3/4 of the building.
thank you so much King! as an alhpa 6 player!!!! who stopped playing until today, the game just felt so daunting. to keep things short, THANK YOU for what you do for the community and i'd love to possibly play some 7 days to die with you if you have some patience to teach a not so noob - to complete noob, again, hahaha. hope you have a wonderful new years and wish you the best in life my guy!! +1 sub (dinging that bell)
I came back after a break from the game. That was a neat showcase of newer POIs. Great ideas. Great Video.
There was a desert house overhanging a chasm that I really liked. I made it easy to defend as you always knew what direction the zombies would be coming from. Honestly though, I find any decent POI next to the first trader I find and call that home. The trader is essential to flourish early game imo. Over the versions, the dock out in the middle of the lake has always been an emergency backup for essentials. I don't know how the new chunk respawn is going to impact proxy bases. I always kept a backup location of weapons, forge, just in case a horde manages to collapse everything I have worked for. Honestly that is why I don't use my true base for horde night due to the DEMOs anymore. Also finding a base at the connection of multiple biomes makes having access to all the resources nice. Or at least find the junction between the most essential biomes like forest and desert, or wasteland and desert.
Glad I found your channel! I just started playing again. I think the last time I played 7DTD was before they even has traders lol It's so exciting playing again with all the new features. Kinda sad zombies don't give drops now though :( Btw, are you from Manchester or around Doncaster. That accent sounds so familiar to me lol
It would be so cool if they had a mall with a bunch of different stores inside with a food court or something
there 2 POI that's I would choose to make my own Base , if I need to. 1st is a wooden cabin that's normally inside the wood. While the house is made of wood, the base is about 3-4 block hide made from either cobbelstone or cement, which is why sturdy. Destroy the stair and we mostly safe, untill the later Blood Moon Horde. Next is the Army Camp. In the army camp, there are somekind of Radio/Watch Tower. You could build your base on the top of that Tower. Since the base is about 7-8 block tall made of Cement, if a really good place to stay since you don't really need build any. Maybe some basic to expand the base.
GREAT LIST. I'm rather partial to the parking garage. Just knock some blocks out and BOOM! ready to go.
Honestly I have a base in the Collision Center. Fantastic. 2 buildings. Larger one is my living quarters and the smaller 1 is my horde base. Great inner design for the living quarters and a garage entrance too. All concrete and highly livable. Recommend for anyone out there. Thanks for the vids man! I really enjoy them 😀

Best POI in terms of protection is Red Mesa hands down. It comes equipped with land mines around the perimeter on top of the base being completely walled off
If you live in a POI and take a trader mission that wants you to go to that POI, it will reset and delete all your base. Something to be aware of. I would recommend only using them at the start and making your own base somewhere else before starting trader missions.

All the pertinent information, succinct to the point that I found myself hanging on each word. Absolutely outstanding video! Liked, subbed and I hope to find you do vids on some of my other fav games.
some interesting ideas for early bases - hard part of walls is that if you don't give them a path the zombies WILL beat through walls - i typically play with one to 3 other players, so our horde nights can get crazy. i'm definitely a fan of a separate horde base from where things are stashed, farms etc & beside looking at building wall strengths, an overall smaller base will be easier to defend & upgrade than a big space with sprawling walls. tossing my farm & some trees on the roof is also a favorite feature - can safely chop wood & farm during the night.
I just started a A19 game and straight across the road from the trader is the red fire station. It’s great for me, has 2 vending machines and plenty of rooftop space for my future garden.
I love using the refinery. Break the windows at the top of the steps in main building and jump onto the roof of the offices. Zombies will jump out the window to get to you and fall. They'll have to follow the stairs up and repeat. If they break the brick wall, stand on the edge of the roof and swing away at your leisure. Most will fall and only two zombies can line up on the ledge they eventually make and the rest fall off. So you control them two at a time. Once cops spawn, they will shoot at the ceiling in the office below you, so be aware later on.

A friend and I have a base on the roof of the Gorebos Laundro, with a raid tower built inside. It’s pretty handy, being a stone’s throw away from a trader and with a few farms and construction sites nearby. We’ve done our best to make it so zombies try to funnel into the downstairs so we can pop them through the hole in the roof
I used the roof of the camping store. Only way they can get up is through the caravans so it's easy pickings. And if they do destroy the place, just do the quest to reset it
#2 Prowlin Petse comes with a vending machine inside. If working you could have a place to get food/drinks.
So problems I see with some of these options: 1. Zoe's Salon: Too large. Don't get me wrong, a large base isn't a problem. On Multiplayer. With multiple people occupying one base. But when you can stack writable crates, you don't need a large amount of space. Also, it's a bit of a maze, inside, so raiding it to clear it out is gonna be a pain. Also navigating it once it's a base woul also be a pain. Living on the roof full time wouldn't be a good idea because the longer you go, the more likely you are to have birds spawn. Putting plants up there isn't a problem, but if you stayed full time you'd see less ground zombies and more birds. 2. Prowlin Petes: has many of the same issues as the salon. Less maze-like inside, though, so less need to break walls. Again with the roof issue. 3. Gorebros Laondro: Again with the roof issue! I don't know what it is among the 7dtd community, but everyone recommends living on roofs! That's fine for the first maybe 30ish days, but then you start having 3+ birds spawn at a time, and unless you have a decent aim and the ammo to spare, hitting them is a pain. Not a big fan of this POI. Not too maze-like inside, so that's an improvement over the first two, I guess, but it's just too troublesome to clear the furniture out of the building being mostly iron/mechanical. 4. Survivor site: If it wasn't for the landmines that can sometimes spawn, and the relative rarity of this POI, I'd use this every time. Small enough that you aren't having to take 10 minutes to clear a wandering zombie, farming space, storage space, enough space to put all the stations. Elevated area to pick off zombies on a horde night. METAL WALLS, which, iirc, have 10k durability. Either that or 2500. Definitely something I hunker down in long term if I can find it. 5. New Life Hope Cabin: One of the worst bases on SP. Only good thing is the underground area, which is a good start to building a bug out tunnel. Otherwise, has many of the same issues as the other large bases, with the additional downside to being outdoors. Wandering hordes are more of a problem at this base. 6. Settlement: See all the issues of the first 3. 7. Old fire station: again, see all issues detailed in the first 3. 8. Cemetary: last place you wanna be. Zombies can (and will) sometimes bypass the spawn restriction from land claims if they're placed here and will spawn in the underground bunker/mausoleum. Too big and open otherwise. The church itself isn't a bad base, it's the rest of it that causes it to be bad. 9. Modern House: not a bad base. I personally would knock down the garage. too many places for zombies to hide. Too few places for you to hide. I definitely seek one of these out for my horde bases/bug out shelters. 10. Prison: AMAZING horde base. Shit regular base. Too large to be practical on SP as anything long term. I do like the availability of very durable doors in which to build a bug out room and tunnel. Overall? Bleh for a list. Few options on here aren't bad, but the larger the base, the more time you spend not upgrading/fortifying/surviving and instead hunting down and killing that one zombie banging on the side of the base.
My current game is based in prowling Pete's and I recommend it! Once you clear out lol the rubbish and furniture it's perfect for workbenches, forges, storage, Chem stations etc, walls are tough and the outer wall easy to extend across for full coverage.
The workbenches, chem stations, forges, and cement mixers will never be working. However, there's a Chace they have a lootable one inside, or the schematic. So worth seeking out
I just made an 11x11 cube for a base that I covered with cobblestone and surrounded with spikes, and that got my buddy and I through horde nights 7 and 14. For day 21, I'm hurriedly building that end-game horde base of yours during your pixel wife series with 8 blade traps and multiple shock wire traps, and I'm going to see how well it works in A20. I'm the miner boy so getting the materials is all my job, lol.

Haha. That'd how it works with my wife too. She loots, I farm.
Good base ideas but the only problem is some of them may be swarmed as there considered busy areas, unless this has changed. Been a while since I played. This game has gone through massive improvements from back in the day. Take a sub from me cool video.
First two pois a roaming horde will punch through that wall. You want a flat smooth wall.
My Favorite horde base I ever converted was the football coliseum, hell even chugged some energy drinks and ran around the field stabbing and shooting a few horde nights for fun... Haven't found it in ages though, I feel like it might not even be in the game anymore I think last I saw it was A17
Agreed Prison is one of the best, but I have had zombies spawn INSIDE the POI because of the size if I am at the front of the base. Not great to have them spawn inside your defenses. It hasn't happened to me on 20 as of yet.
nice i'm going to keep an eye out for these in the future. i went to the firestation with the army truck, because it has the two towers, and it's pretty decent BUT omg it covers so much area if you want to wall it off or do traps it takes forever lol
#9 model house is the house that Jawoodle did the zombie proof walls and open pit gate. I copied his design and it worked great but I don't know with the update if it's still viable. Great video brother!

What about the Working Stiffs hardware store between Diersville and Trader Jen on Navezgane? I like that one quite a bit.
does the Prison poi have some kind of restriction against spawning in a20.3 rwg's ? i haven't really played since a17, and i loved it back then... but using map viewers i can't seem to find it after making a number of maps...
I can confirm the laundromat has NOT been removed. before watching this video me and a friend built our horde base on top of it a few days ago, absolutly lost it when i saw it on the list ahah

(playing on A 20.6) we did a jump up electric fence stair thing on the side of it so really its supports more than anything but still very funny to me lmao living down the street proper in a fancy lil house i built
Town hall in the watchtower. 2 levels and plenty of room to grow. Needs some repair work, and just create a vault doored ladder to the roof, with a bunch of blade traps, and nothing can reach you
Just hit a sub, I just started to play and I decorate all day lol
I have put in allot of time in A20 and I have not seen any working workbenches, forges or chem stations since the patch. so I believe they have done away with that. it is kinda sad because it was always something you looked for in A19. but they did make it easier to get those through doing tasks from the vendors now. after doing the 7 string of tasks and you get your reward you can choose to get a workbench, forge or a chem station to use instead of taking the skills to make them or having to find the schematic. personally I do kinda miss being able to find a working chem station while out and about. specially early on.
I wish you great fortune man your content is so natural!!!!!!

I was reconning a way to my 2d trader and came upon an old west town. I thought "Latham's would be an awesome satellite base. The walls are thick and at least cobblestone (and I do believe they may be concrete.) Since the update, I have had a rethink on my castle (day 21 horde breached it in 4 separate areas.) I will try your bomber base idea.
All of the stations are broken as confirmed by the devs

@@TonyHoneycutt What I meant was the drop rate seemed much higher. I had found three schematics on day one in alpha 20. Two at the first trader alone. I'm used to finding maybe one total before day seven in the previous version. However, I have started two more worlds since and found none, so I'm guessing I was just super lucky on that first one, lol.
#5 has a false floor. do be prepared for a fall and to have to repair.
Didnt know bout modern house ... that thing is completly broken , a concrete wall around it and made of concrete u already made it to late game sir . Thx just started a new one and was always thinking bout where to put my base .
Missle silo by far is the best. Easy to modify and strong af. Garage for vehicles.
great video, I like the look of some of these, they look easily defendable
My favorite poi is the graveyard with the underground area and you can put a bunch of traps to make hoard nights easy because there’s only one entrance
Thank you for your video, very good food for thought!
You know it's a good list when you've already used most of these as your bases before. Nice job!
Incredible video man thanks 😁
Were currently in the Laundro mat on a random gen out in the desert. using the garage as crafting area, broke down rest to turn into a home :D
My God it has been a long time since I played this game 2019 according to Steam. So many new assets & buildings
We are just converting a mountain to an entire bunker complex with integrated raid base around 140m away but still in the mountain so you can just drive there underground on bedrock, it takes a hell lot of resources but it's worth it c:
I like to move into normal houses and do them up. I put a wall around the whole house and use hatches to make a walkway over the wall.
The problem with basically all the pois with walls is there ribbed. the zombies will get stuck on those pillars and beat on them instead of just walking along a smooth wall(if not aggro-ed). so u cant hide from a wandering horde because they will get stuck on your base and stop wondering there instead of moving on by. also the survivor site in my experience is not a good base its easy to get in and the main building is very flimsy and falls quickly with out massive upgrades.
If you haven't seen it, check out Glock9's Lockdown series for A19. The prison is a fortress!
