I think that the one perimeter near the Lousville gun shop in the North(-West) deserves to be on the list. Surrounded by large walls, you can unfortunate not look through, and the only entrance being a large metal fence gate
I have made a base in the battory factory before and it was nice. If you block off 1 side you can secure a large area. Only downside its hard to build there and you dont have that many trees near but it was satisfying once I completed
@SaraLanc3 Some people are able to survive well into the days where you've exhausted all supplies within a large radius, turn the respawn timer up and avoid needing to cross the entire map for some scraps of loot.
That radio station outside Muldraugh is so criminally underrated. You are the only person I've heard talk about it and it's perfect. The isolated hunting cabin west of there has it's own well which makes the radio station even more valuable.
I've been thinking about making a base there, and had no idea about that well, interesting, although a bit far. There is a small lake to the north which is also kinda far. My biggest issue is really that it feels like I will need to chop down trees to make a easier path to the muldraugh road, and possibly one to the north to hit the east/west road too.
I built a base there and made a shortcut to the main highway through the forest, and to prevent the road from becoming overgrown with bushes I simply laid the floor in three squares on this road. And also there is no spawn zombie there and you can go fishing at the lake near hotel across the highway
@@cryptc it's not so long becouse you already have schorcut to the highway by the dirt road, just make it wider and cut off busches. You can fill it with the sand from nearby. By it seems to me we are talking about different places and lakes. it's better to show everything on the map
In the southwest of Riverside there is a surveillance station, it is surrounded by large fences and it's in the middle of the forest so you can chop trees and expand your base and set traps to get meat and gain weight.
@@thechlebek901 because if you only you eat vegetables you will eventually lose weight and that will make you weaker: less stamina, less damage per hit, more damage taken, and so on.
@@uhtred7860 The major difference CodyCada didn't mention is that losing too much weight WILL kill you. PZ itself has 6 weight "States" with the 5th one having some sub-states itself. You can be Obese, Overweight, Normal, Underweight, Very Underweight and Emaciated (Which itself becomes severe below 35kg weight). Each of them affects you negatively in a way, except the only one that outright will kill you is Emaciation. You gain the trait at 50kg, and it has the worst debuffs (Worse than having an obese character for combat). Lower than 35kg and you will begin to slowly take damage that WILL kill you. It is entirely unavoidable, as your body just breaks down, painkillers won't help, and neither will say, First Aid. Character Weight is only really important in long saves, OR if you play a mode like 6 Months Later, A Really CD DA or a community made preset for 1 / 10 / 50 years later. In short lived characters you won't lose weight fast enough to notice signs of emaciation or losing / gaining weight, but in longer playthroughs you basically have to either luck out and find a lot of high calorie food, plan your character around weight (I.e taking Overweight trait for example) OR get really good at fishing or trapping depending on where you base up. Fishing is better in my opinion, but depending on where you base up, it will either be impossible or require a long drive. In the extreme edge-case that you base up in Louisville, unless you base up close to a park, neither are good.
I'm using the isolated forest house right now in my current playthrough. I built an additional two floors onto it and when I go to the roof I can see over the trees for any zombies. Been a great spot so far.
My Louisville base is the AmeriGlobe four story, open plan office building, plenty of room for storage, living quarters, an indoor garden and roof access , also perfect for a rope entry. You are surrounded by grass and woodlands, there is a water feature over the road for fishing, walking distance to a 4-pump gas station, a major hospital and a massive industrial estate for all of your supply needs. With the military blockade nearby you also have guns, ammo, backpacks and all of the generators you could ever need!
The goal me and my son have set, is to clear out and secure the Grand Ohio Mall, and live there, à la Dawn of the Dead & Dead Rising.😆 Someone must have done it before, would love to see a video of it being done.
My most recently discovered favorite base is the abandoned village near Dixie trailer park, the only real issue with it is that you need to be high enough level in the construction stats to really make it livable but it's worth it
My Preferred base location is the cluster of 3 big houses by the River between Riverside and Westpoint. The ones with Ben's Cabin close by at the small pond. You are pretty close to 2 towns, you have a river very close by, for water and fishing, and most of those houses have garages (good chance for nice cars too) and fireplaces for cooking and warmth. The wood is not an issue too, I hope there will be good hunting grounds when animals come to the game tho. I think that location is great for small group of survivors. Also great base if you have boats modded.
Lmao two of my boys and I are setup there now. We have horde night on so we shoot over to twiggys to defend when that rolls around so we don’t dirty up our houses by the river.
LOL, i had a real nice set up in one of those houses, (the one with the Jetty) plus, when i rolled up the house at the end was a survivor house, the loot i got out of it was awesome. But i used the 'Bens Cabin' as my fishing hut, and was walking back from a days fishing when i walked right into two Z's and got bit. I didn't realise, but there was a group of tents on the edge of the road thats close with about 8 Zombies lurking about, they must have heard me and wandered over without me knowing.
I love the farm in Doe Valley. You can make supply runs to the towns in a day, but you also have lots of woods for fences, a garden and the well! This is the base for my longest character, that's why it has a special place in my heart.
it's too easy. Have to play w sprinters and horde mod or else you win the game and it's boring. When they introduce animals it would be farm simulator 99 living there
I love the Camp Grounds in the middle of the forest near Muldraugh, it's sparse and there's no electricity but there's a lake, cabins all have an oven, it's not too far from a few interesting places and the deep forest protects from the zombies
Theres also a Scarlet Oak Distillery (located at the riverside of Louisville) which is incredibly large and has many tall fences. It also has a forest, gas station, a river nearby and a ridiculously large amount of bourbon so you dont need to worry about disinfectant.
,I think another amazing location is the riverwood factory, I don't hear people talk about it much but, its in a isolated town with a VERY low so once you clear out the zombies, you could live there peacefully without worry, it also has a house with food and a generator spawn, while the factory is messed it can be cleaned up and you can make a good base in the rooms in the larger building garage, done it a few times and I'm happy with how it turns out every time!
It is a nice location - just isolated and a long way from any points of interest of significant value. Once the map expands in the next big patch it'll gain value as it'll be a good staging ground for going north/west (I'm never quite sure which way is actual north on the map).
I actually spent awhile recently doing runs where I spawned on top of the Ohio mall and eventually had to call a helicopter to escape. You spawn on the roof in that same spot you talked about. I never was able to escape, though it’s a really fun challenge. Also another super underrated base location is the train depot logistics building next to the main Louisville checkpoint. It’s close to the city and is a huge area right next to the checkpoint which is stacked with loot. It has unbreakable fences surrounding most of it too so it’s easily defendable. It’s got “garage” space for dozens of vehicles and has a really badass 3 story building with double balconies on the roof. I’m trying to build a Woodbury type community there right now with the superb survivors mod. Also also for that guns a blazzINN location something to note is that it has a shooting range and hunting lodge next to it. Both places usually don’t have many zeds and both have unlocked armories that are super easy to get into. The hunting lodge also has several refrigerators with lots of fresh food in it next to the armory.
A personal favorite is the mechanics shop in the top left of LV, it has an upstairs, fenced in back, and garage space, plus lots of surounding warehouses
Riverside has a 2 story Food and Bar place right near the river that i think is just one of the dandiest spots in the game. Board up all the windows downstairs and the ones upstairs from the 2nd floor to stop peeping zombies from knocking on the ones downstairs and you have a large, secure, location complete with cooking and cold storage appliances as well as the capability at higher carpentry to rain barrel the areas above them for water access to live a zomboid life in a modern-ish day way. i might still be in riverside but that 2 floor bar is one of my many many homes in zomboid. Other places include. Muldraugh: The Rusty Rifle bar on Muldy's south end (Smokey's if i'm living on the north end) Rosewood: I hate this place so don't ask. West Point: No IMMEDIATE spots to think of here Valley Station: Where HAVEN'T I lived here? There's a nice area up from a farmer's market with a lake nearby as well as some homes to live in as preference. Louisville: Mostly northern end aside from the mirror like mansions outside West Point but a more complete gated entry than the West Point Mansions. Some apartments for sanctuary on the 2nd floor. The Louisville Trainyard near the checkpoint is also a building to take for me as well not because of the guns nearby but because on multiplayer servers i can put them inside without some goblin trying to take my shit.
I'll add some. Muldraugh: the 2 warehouses just up the road from the Rusty Rifle, or the one next door to Smokeys. I ALWAYS find sledgehammers and antique stoves in both those warehouses. Lake Phallas: (its in Doe Valley, with a lake thats shaped like a D, hence the name) The Church building with the upstairs, Or the small apartment above the Gas Station. Rosewood: The apartment above the gas station, the Lumber Yard. Or once you get a sledge and carpentry level, build in the rafters of the church. West Point: So many good spots, The school, the apartment above the Hardware shop (lots of canned food stashed up there) The 3 storey office building next to the food market (has a big balcony for collecting rain and is sometimes a big survivor house/base) Valley Station: The big warehouse near the entrance to LV & army checkpoint. March Ridge: Its a death trap, I avoid it. Riverside: The C.G.E Corp abandoned factory AKA "Tanglewood" west of Riverside Louisville: Jims Auto Shop near the Ready Prep army surplus shop. Roof access (always good) and a secure garden area.
I like the apartment building just south of the Grand Ohio Mall, next to the strip mall with the gun store. It's got a closed in parking area on the bottom floor so that you can be safe while you unload your loot after a supply run. I also like that it has multiple doors that the zomboids have to break through if they're after you, and it's easy to add more in the hallway. It has 12 apartments so there's plenty of storage, and each person can pick their own apartment even if you're playing with a large group.
Seeing the tennis courts made me think they should eventually try to work mini-games/sports into the game. It’d be a good way to break the monotony especially in MP. From things like darts and pool tables to actual sports. Or even video games if you have power. Sports like tennis, basketball or soccer would probably be easiest. Physical activities would also have the bonus of training fitness.
I'd also suggest the campsite west of Riverside. It has two shops with apartments on a second story with everything you would need. One is a general store with a modern apartment and the second is one with more of a cabin feal which would be great for expansion. It also has a gas station just down the road. The location is extremally far from any other POIs so it can be great for those that want to stay isolated and self-sufficient.
I started a base there, but it was a bit to isolated, so i moved to the Three mansions by the lake & river, to the west of west point. One of the mansions was a preppers house with a decent amount of guns, melee weapons, food & meds, it was also full of walking dead preppers😆.
The Farmhouse in Muldraugh would be a good option as long as you aren’t doing the CDDA Challenge, but even then, that’s where I usually find the needle I need to stitch up my leg. Btw, the “isolated forest home” at 1:51 is literally just a meth lab. There is medical equipment in the trashy white building.
i like to build my base within the louisville defense perimeter. I use the tents near the burned village that still has an intact gas pump. Then i start building my own house. It's almost impossible for zombies to get in. The fences entrances are too far away, so any zombie attracted to you will just stand behind the fence.
Theres a lumber mill south of the fire station in rosewood, it has a wood fence all around it with a chai link gate and a TON of logs which are perfect for people who like to build
I'm sad you didn't mention that the isolated forest home is a meth lab / crack shack. It's a trailer filled with lab equipment that spawns guns in the cabinets, and sometimes you'll find a hazmat suit zombie there, too. The house beside it is piled with trash, basically the only furniture in there is a couch to smoke up on.
there's a big warehouse in the north-west corner of Louisville (between Fossoil HQ and a gas station) that I found surprisingly solid for a big base. It has a south entrance for cars that can be fenced in rather easily, and 1 door + some windows to the west, these would be the only points of entrance for zombies. Otherwise it's completely surrounded by big fences. The warehouse itself has a couple small rooms for personal quarters, 2 floors. Then there's an absolutely massive space for your own custom base, tons of shelves, of course there's useful items as well, and the location is very close to massively useful stores while not being crammed full of zombies itself. I was honestly surprised by how useful that place ended up being on my last run. Only thing it's missing is nature, there is no grass, no trees. I quite like the mall idea, gonna have to give it a try at some point. Thanks!
I do like the train yard south of Muldraugh. Somehow, claustrophobic characters do not panic if living in those hangars. And its pretty chill once you've cleared all Z's being since its out of town.
One of the best bases in Louisville is the Mounted Police Barracks in the bottom left of the park at the center of Louisville. The building only has windows on one side and an entrance big enough for cars. You can build a big double gate to block it off. The building has an open courtyard in the center of it so you can work on cars and farm in safety. The building has a small armory, office, bay bedroom with 4 bunk beds, bathroom and two storage rooms. There is a parking lot in front and a white picket fence around the whole compound. There are three large water barrels around and a small pond too. The park has a large pond in the center of it. Diagonally at the other corner of the park is the visitor’s center with a wood burning oven. Not far from the barracks are two gas stations, a police station, school, small bookstore, liquor store, garage/tire store, pawn shop, garden center, small mall, and big gigamart!
We're basing in the Louisville Baseball stadium and it's great. Large open area to build in, huge perimeter provided by the stadium buildings which are easy to plug up. Safe, farm friendly and close to the action. Only thing it's missing is a water source to fish from (like most bases).
Me and my son built a base on the railway bridge over the river just outside West point, that was a great base, could fish into the river off the roof, and snipe the Z's on the highway bridge just next door.😆
"isolated forest home" is called a drug lab. it also spawns guns and some tools and if you like the civilian bulletproof vest, then you can find one there
I’ve always liked the Army Surplus south of riverside. Plenty of weapons, somewhat remote while still having connections to major roads, a small hospital nearby, a mechanic shop just across the street, a gas station at the mechanic shop. It just seems like a great place to go when you can clear it out.
Me and my friends base is west of Wespoint by a lake and the river in the middle of a forest with 3 big houses and our house/fortified base uses the big metal fences and it’s great. Farming space, fishing, isolated so hardly any zombies.
Another place alotta people overlook is the abandoned CGE Corp warehouse in the abandoned neighborhood west of Rosewood. It's also in an interesting location close to the new map expansion and where (I presume) Brandenburg KY will be when it comes out.
I love the radio station deep in the woods just outside the Riverside trailer park. It's got its ups and downs but it's good enough for one player, could serve up to three or four in multiplayer. It has a car path but it is still isolated from most wandering zeds, has foraging opportunities, has a fence to protect eventual livestock from zed, and is a great roleplay option overall. Furthermore with the rain barrels from the fishing shop in Riverside you can set up there on Day 1 if you spawn in Riverside and either hotwire a vehicle from having the Burglar profession or find a key for a working vehicle. Additionally I imagine it's actually a pretty good decent base in PvP servers simply because the building doesn't offer loot that is worthwhile enough to go out of your way to raid it for and being near Riverside already - which is already considered a bit boring - makes it a decent safehouse simply because you're unlikely to have visitors.
My base of choice is right next to the baseball stadium in the middle of Louisville. The white building only has one set of stairs to knock down. I'm pretty much completely safe with plenty of room for storage and workshops, and a roof farm on the adjacent building.
By following the road in riverside, closest to the river, and going south and then east, past the few houses off the road, you will find a secluded camp-site-ish house in the forest. It is down a path on the road going east from Riverside to West Point. It doesn’t necessarily have everything you need, but I made a base there and it is wonderful. There are basically no zombies, and to find any at all, you have to drive down the road pretty far. There is a house, a large shed with storage, and a weird roofed thing with boxes in it. It is close enough to riverside where you can make runs for items and books. In my base I made, I built a compound using the curved shape of the house and it is pretty cool. I also just got a fishing rod, so I can walk about thirty seconds to the river and fish. 10/10 location, I love it. I also have survived 40 days so far which is my longest ever!
The American Tire Store outside of West Point is nice. It's right on the edge of town but it's not too bad in terms of zombies from what I've seen. It's got the shopfloor, the double garage in the back, the second floor office, a kitchen, and it's just a neat space.
The American Tire outside of West Point is pretty good too and hardly anyone uses it. Its right outside of all the zombies of west point and the train track near can take you anywhere you need to go.
Ngl I kinda really like the car lot in riverside, lots of cars to steal or salvage, fence all the way around, and a very nice location for wood, and close to the main shopping areas of riverside
Theres a nice cabin area just south of Riverside. Theres a dirt road turn off on the highway just south of the Fossoil in southern Riverside. Its got enough trees to keep the zombies away and it far enough that no matter how loud you are, your safe. But its still a 3 min drive into town.
The Golf Club in Louisville, Fence on one side with parking beyond it and the exposed side is a forest. It's as isolated as you can get in the middle of the big city.
I remember visiting the first two sites in search of resources and those areas had a mid zombie population, perhaps they are affected by zombies that migrate and spawn from the roads
The best base I've ever found in the map is the gas station on the highway leading into Louisville. Its in a relatively quiet spot between two cities, a minute's drive from the Army checkpoint and Mall (not the main Mall, but the original one without a gun store) and lots of points of interest within short travel. Yes there are zombies in the trailer parks nearby and also on the highway - but both are 100% manageable with some thought, and you don't even need to be quiet. Its also walled on two sides with unbreakable tall fences, is right next to a decent sized wooded area, has a pond just down the road, several warehouses a short trip away and lots of cars to salvage. Oh, and effectively infinite fuel and a large car park. And a decent sized garden area. And two reasonably sized two story shops with apartments. And massive amounts of storage space with crates, shelves, freezers, washing machines, a single story bathroom area that can easily be plumbed into water collectors... Literally the only downside to that base is its far away from spawn locations and there's quite a few initial zombies in the area - so you need to prepare with a car and plenty of ammo if you want to clear it in good time. But once its secure - its perfect, ripe for expansion and safe without being boring.
Ruby Gas?? I was based above the liquor store next door for a while, before moving just down the road to the big warehouse. I like living in commercial building with roof access.😆
There's this massive group of depots isolated from the city iself but near Maldraugh or whatever it's called, there are 2 big depots and 2 small ones, I've established my base in the bottom big one and it's spacious and has tons of metal things for you to scrap and all appliances necessary for your survival, such as sinks, microwaves, and a radio. I also park my cars inside the base, which is a possibility because of its sheer size, and the depot that I used has a small room with 2 shelves (50 inventory space each) and a counter with sink, which is great for storing your stuff, and to make it even better, food is not an issue since you can quickly get to the city (Less than 2 minutes to get there) and go on a looting spree or just set up a farm The name of the depot is McCoy Logging, there are 2 entrances to get there and I remember that there's a sign in one of them that says "McCoy Logging", which should help you get there
Clarks Storage in Muldraugh is my current fave. It needs work to turn it into a 'house', but has high fences and some buffer cells around it. It's near the highway, and give access to the Muld.South Gas Sattion. Post Office in Riverside is bad ass if you settle up there. Westpoint Hardware store/Gas sation combo has a lot of potential.
my friends and I love Muldraugh and the restaurant on the edge of the city where the warehouses are. There aren't a lot of zombies, quick tree-chop trough the forest on the street to McCoys wood storange thingy and much freedom for building! Also you're directly on the highway aka main street. The 1st level fo the restaurant as storange and/or mechanics garage and upstairs you can extend the areas and build to the roof.
For me is Golf Course near Riverside, It has watersource+tree and many potential base. Like resterant middle of golf course, 10 house with fance, or country club.
I didn't know about the first two! Def will be checking those out. I'd love to see your opinions on various map mods! I just played the Daegu Metro map and it is WILD
I recently posted up in the clothing store located in the highway rest stop south of west point. It even has a gas station and i converted most of the clothing store into a garage with a very lucky sledge living in the back storage room
just started a new run with a buddy and we're at the relay station and dont forget to point out that the top corner has a hole in the fence. I put 2 file cabinets there until my carpentry and metalworking was high enough to block it properly
there's a group of 3 big houses to the west of west point which i quite like, there's a cabin nearby with a woodstove and it's right next to the river. one of the houses even has a tall fence around it!
The rosewood construction yard is great too. 3 buildings unbreakable high walls. Lots of empty space already secure and a bit further from the city then the firehouse
I think the gas station in that small town tween riverside and rosewood (doe valley?) Is great. 2 storys, low pop zombies near by, an that town has all you need with a hardware and farm store(with gun counter), medical, and a bar.
I live St. Peregrin Hospital. Perhaps, there is nothing good. A few thousands of zombies, poor supplies and a too big complex to defend. A survivor UA-camr I follow died there. I have migrated there just to build her memorial. It is one of so many ways to find one's base location, imo.
My fave is the farm house just north of Riverside. Near enough to riverside so you can do raids into it but has a forest inbetween to easily lose zeds. Lots of land to build with fields for crops surrounded by fences. You also have a river near the back for water. Not near anything major so player traffic is low.
On a looting run, realised the Scarlet Oak Distillery would be excellent AFTER the helicopter event. Not a huge amount of zeds in or outside in the parking lot, and all that you can drink! (Water is there as well if you want to be weak)
I personally like the Smokeys Saloon & Restaurant in the North-East of Muldraugh as well as the Cortman Medical inside of Muldraugh. Both have a complete apartment in the first floor (or second floor for Americans) and I like to have everything I need just ready for me to move in, so I don't have to bother with moving heavy stuff that much. You can in both cases just put some ropes out of the window and then destroy the stairs with a sledgehammer, although I personally don't do that usually. With the Smokeys Saloon & Restaurant you can even destroy a wall and connect that apartment with the second floor of the actual Saloon and then remove the stairs of the Saloon and you instantly have all the space you need especially when you put some additional floor down. Both cases can have problems with high zombie population of course, although it's not that bad, both areas aren't usually the main area for zombies to hang around. But well, I mostly play on Survivor.
I base in the warehouse just next door to Smokeys, roof access and theres always a sledge hammer on the crates, destroy the stairs and put down a floor and its great, u can get your vehicles inside too. Muldraugh highway is always infested at the beginning tho.
The isolated forest house (meth lab) is a great spot Ive stayed in many times. Just be warned though, it cannot be claimed as a safehouse in multiplayer because both buildings are marked as industrial buildings, not residential. Even the cabin.
I love doing the mall that is not in Louisville , it is best done with a group though, otherwise you just end up living in an apartment at the top of the mall :P
I'd just caution anyone about the 7 story apartment building with the penthouse. Sure it has a nice garage attached and a lot of rooms to loot. But it also spawns with a gigantic horde spread all over the building. A single good gunshot outside and you'll have zombies raining outside the building for the next 30 minutes (as well as destroying a ton of the glass windows)
It's quite annoying that the only current run I play on is a CDDA one, and most of these are out of the question because unless I chose a spot with zero zombies all around ill just be coming back to 1 or 2 hordes every time I return from a looting run.
yoooo i did a spawn at phallus lake or ekron or whatever you call the dong lake town xD but anyways, i found the one you call farm farm and i LOVE the spot. one part that's getting tricky tho is the long dirt driveway to it, it starts growing bushes and grass and saplings and you gotta clear it up to keep your car from slowing down in it
there's a playground near the vhs store in riverside. build up to the jungle gym house or use the working ladders mod. it's perfect with nearby river, grassland, bar, restaurant, vhs, clinic, downtown, and forest, and very few zombies.
I think you kinda forgot about American AutoShop in the West Point. Its a great location too. Base needs are all around, and it is isolated enough to not get raided instantly.
The three houses with a fireplace in each one of them located on the far edge of West Point. There is a log cabin with a wood fire stove inside that can be move to the three house but you already have a fireplace and thus do not need it.
Above the lecture hall at Louisville University. Enough space under one roof to build a village. If you don't mind first constructing over 700 floor tiles first. :)
I based in the buildings between Dixie on one file, its a really good location due to its proximity to Muldraugh AND Dixie, a good amount of storage just be careful because the wood house doesn't have electricity, get a lamp from a house. I'm also 90% sure its a drug lab.
I think that the one perimeter near the Lousville gun shop in the North(-West) deserves to be on the list. Surrounded by large walls, you can unfortunate not look through, and the only entrance being a large metal fence gate
I have made a base in the battory factory before and it was nice. If you block off 1 side you can secure a large area. Only downside its hard to build there and you dont have that many trees near but it was satisfying once I completed
(Sorry for bad english) There is also cosy var repair shop near gun store, with the balcony and car doors.
If you have loot respawning on though, you are missing out on a gun shop.
@SaraLanc3 I have no idea! Just saying, incase you do play with it on, avoid basing too close to gun shops.
@SaraLanc3 Some people are able to survive well into the days where you've exhausted all supplies within a large radius, turn the respawn timer up and avoid needing to cross the entire map for some scraps of loot.
That radio station outside Muldraugh is so criminally underrated. You are the only person I've heard talk about it and it's perfect. The isolated hunting cabin west of there has it's own well which makes the radio station even more valuable.
I've been thinking about making a base there, and had no idea about that well, interesting, although a bit far.
There is a small lake to the north which is also kinda far.
My biggest issue is really that it feels like I will need to chop down trees to make a easier path to the muldraugh road, and possibly one to the north to hit the east/west road too.
I built a base there and made a shortcut to the main highway through the forest, and to prevent the road from becoming overgrown with bushes I simply laid the floor in three squares on this road. And also there is no spawn zombie there and you can go fishing at the lake near hotel across the highway
@@aptitzin yeah I'm basing there now, and have started on my path through the forest to the road north and the lake... how long did it take you?
@@cryptc it's not so long becouse you already have schorcut to the highway by the dirt road, just make it wider and cut off busches. You can fill it with the sand from nearby. By it seems to me we are talking about different places and lakes. it's better to show everything on the map
I can safely say, basing there has been one of my favorite places in the last few years of playing
We miss you…
He’ll probably make a new video once build 42 comes out
Baby he is back
@@iaobilibaomaster7928 huh
In the southwest of Riverside there is a surveillance station, it is surrounded by large fences and it's in the middle of the forest so you can chop trees and expand your base and set traps to get meat and gain weight.
I found it and it's double fenced. There is 2 fences. It's amazing, I should go there one day.
Why would you mention gaining weight lol
@@thechlebek901 because if you only you eat vegetables you will eventually lose weight and that will make you weaker: less stamina, less damage per hit, more damage taken, and so on.
@@CodyCada09 Yeah but the same thing happens if you gain too much weight.🤣
@@uhtred7860 The major difference CodyCada didn't mention is that losing too much weight WILL kill you.
PZ itself has 6 weight "States" with the 5th one having some sub-states itself. You can be Obese, Overweight, Normal, Underweight, Very Underweight and Emaciated (Which itself becomes severe below 35kg weight). Each of them affects you negatively in a way, except the only one that outright will kill you is Emaciation. You gain the trait at 50kg, and it has the worst debuffs (Worse than having an obese character for combat). Lower than 35kg and you will begin to slowly take damage that WILL kill you. It is entirely unavoidable, as your body just breaks down, painkillers won't help, and neither will say, First Aid. Character Weight is only really important in long saves, OR if you play a mode like 6 Months Later, A Really CD DA or a community made preset for 1 / 10 / 50 years later. In short lived characters you won't lose weight fast enough to notice signs of emaciation or losing / gaining weight, but in longer playthroughs you basically have to either luck out and find a lot of high calorie food, plan your character around weight (I.e taking Overweight trait for example) OR get really good at fishing or trapping depending on where you base up. Fishing is better in my opinion, but depending on where you base up, it will either be impossible or require a long drive. In the extreme edge-case that you base up in Louisville, unless you base up close to a park, neither are good.
I'm using the isolated forest house right now in my current playthrough. I built an additional two floors onto it and when I go to the roof I can see over the trees for any zombies. Been a great spot so far.
That's dope!!!
"Isolated forest home" AKA the old meth lab.🤣
My Louisville base is the AmeriGlobe four story, open plan office building, plenty of room for storage, living quarters, an indoor garden and roof access , also perfect for a rope entry. You are surrounded by grass and woodlands, there is a water feature over the road for fishing, walking distance to a 4-pump gas station, a major hospital and a massive industrial estate for all of your supply needs. With the military blockade nearby you also have guns, ammo, backpacks and all of the generators you could ever need!
The goal me and my son have set, is to clear out and secure the Grand Ohio Mall, and live there, à la Dawn of the Dead & Dead Rising.😆 Someone must have done it before, would love to see a video of it being done.
Can't think of a place to set base
*Komp uploads*
Can't decide on which place to set base
lets not be able to decide on bases together
My most recently discovered favorite base is the abandoned village near Dixie trailer park, the only real issue with it is that you need to be high enough level in the construction stats to really make it livable but it's worth it
My Preferred base location is the cluster of 3 big houses by the River between Riverside and Westpoint. The ones with Ben's Cabin close by at the small pond. You are pretty close to 2 towns, you have a river very close by, for water and fishing, and most of those houses have garages (good chance for nice cars too) and fireplaces for cooking and warmth. The wood is not an issue too, I hope there will be good hunting grounds when animals come to the game tho. I think that location is great for small group of survivors. Also great base if you have boats modded.
i love the radio station thing nearby, nice big fences all around but it can be a bit of a pain to get in and out of
Lmao two of my boys and I are setup there now. We have horde night on so we shoot over to twiggys to defend when that rolls around so we don’t dirty up our houses by the river.
LOL, i had a real nice set up in one of those houses, (the one with the Jetty) plus, when i rolled up the house at the end was a survivor house, the loot i got out of it was awesome. But i used the 'Bens Cabin' as my fishing hut, and was walking back from a days fishing when i walked right into two Z's and got bit. I didn't realise, but there was a group of tents on the edge of the road thats close with about 8 Zombies lurking about, they must have heard me and wandered over without me knowing.
@@raventhebird9088 Horde night? is it a mod?
@@uhtred7860yes, every night (or every 10 nights idk) tons of zombies go to your location from every side
I love the farm in Doe Valley. You can make supply runs to the towns in a day, but you also have lots of woods for fences, a garden and the well! This is the base for my longest character, that's why it has a special place in my heart.
it's too easy. Have to play w sprinters and horde mod or else you win the game and it's boring. When they introduce animals it would be farm simulator 99 living there
@@thegoon3088 L Bozo
0:01 Whats the name of this mod?
I love the Camp Grounds in the middle of the forest near Muldraugh, it's sparse and there's no electricity but there's a lake, cabins all have an oven, it's not too far from a few interesting places and the deep forest protects from the zombies
Theres also a Scarlet Oak Distillery (located at the riverside of Louisville) which is incredibly large and has many tall fences. It also has a forest, gas station, a river nearby and a ridiculously large amount of bourbon so you dont need to worry about disinfectant.
Or being sober ever again.
,I think another amazing location is the riverwood factory, I don't hear people talk about it much but, its in a isolated town with a VERY low so once you clear out the zombies, you could live there peacefully without worry, it also has a house with food and a generator spawn, while the factory is messed it can be cleaned up and you can make a good base in the rooms in the larger building garage, done it a few times and I'm happy with how it turns out every time!
It is a nice location - just isolated and a long way from any points of interest of significant value. Once the map expands in the next big patch it'll gain value as it'll be a good staging ground for going north/west (I'm never quite sure which way is actual north on the map).
@@andromidius I heard talk about 'north of the river Ohio' so above the river should be North, I think
I actually spent awhile recently doing runs where I spawned on top of the Ohio mall and eventually had to call a helicopter to escape. You spawn on the roof in that same spot you talked about. I never was able to escape, though it’s a really fun challenge. Also another super underrated base location is the train depot logistics building next to the main Louisville checkpoint. It’s close to the city and is a huge area right next to the checkpoint which is stacked with loot. It has unbreakable fences surrounding most of it too so it’s easily defendable. It’s got “garage” space for dozens of vehicles and has a really badass 3 story building with double balconies on the roof. I’m trying to build a Woodbury type community there right now with the superb survivors mod.
Also also for that guns a blazzINN location something to note is that it has a shooting range and hunting lodge next to it. Both places usually don’t have many zeds and both have unlocked armories that are super easy to get into. The hunting lodge also has several refrigerators with lots of fresh food in it next to the armory.
What mod are you using for that helicopter challenge? That sounds really fun, I'd like to try it out with my friend!

A personal favorite is the mechanics shop in the top left of LV, it has an upstairs, fenced in back, and garage space, plus lots of surounding warehouses
Jims Auto Shop? just over the road from the Ready Prep surplus store? I'm based in there now.🤣
Riverside has a 2 story Food and Bar place right near the river that i think is just one of the dandiest spots in the game.
Board up all the windows downstairs and the ones upstairs from the 2nd floor to stop peeping zombies from knocking on the ones downstairs and you have a large, secure, location complete with cooking and cold storage appliances as well as the capability at higher carpentry to rain barrel the areas above them for water access to live a zomboid life in a modern-ish day way.
i might still be in riverside but that 2 floor bar is one of my many many homes in zomboid.
Other places include.
Muldraugh: The Rusty Rifle bar on Muldy's south end (Smokey's if i'm living on the north end)
Rosewood: I hate this place so don't ask.
West Point: No IMMEDIATE spots to think of here
Valley Station: Where HAVEN'T I lived here? There's a nice area up from a farmer's market with a lake nearby as well as some homes to live in as preference.
Louisville: Mostly northern end aside from the mirror like mansions outside West Point but a more complete gated entry than the West Point Mansions. Some apartments for sanctuary on the 2nd floor. The Louisville Trainyard near the checkpoint is also a building to take for me as well not because of the guns nearby but because on multiplayer servers i can put them inside without some goblin trying to take my shit.
I'll add some.
Muldraugh: the 2 warehouses just up the road from the Rusty Rifle, or the one next door to Smokeys. I ALWAYS find sledgehammers and antique stoves in both those warehouses.
Lake Phallas: (its in Doe Valley, with a lake thats shaped like a D, hence the name) The Church building with the upstairs, Or the small apartment above the Gas Station.
Rosewood: The apartment above the gas station, the Lumber Yard. Or once you get a sledge and carpentry level, build in the rafters of the church.
West Point: So many good spots, The school, the apartment above the Hardware shop (lots of canned food stashed up there) The 3 storey office building next to the food market (has a big balcony for collecting rain and is sometimes a big survivor house/base)
Valley Station: The big warehouse near the entrance to LV & army checkpoint.
March Ridge: Its a death trap, I avoid it.
Riverside: The C.G.E Corp abandoned factory AKA "Tanglewood" west of Riverside
Louisville: Jims Auto Shop near the Ready Prep army surplus shop. Roof access (always good) and a secure garden area.
I like the apartment building just south of the Grand Ohio Mall, next to the strip mall with the gun store. It's got a closed in parking area on the bottom floor so that you can be safe while you unload your loot after a supply run. I also like that it has multiple doors that the zomboids have to break through if they're after you, and it's easy to add more in the hallway. It has 12 apartments so there's plenty of storage, and each person can pick their own apartment even if you're playing with a large group.
The Red Oaks Apartments, I saw that on the world map and thought "Excellent place" we finally got there and it was burnt out.☹
Seeing the tennis courts made me think they should eventually try to work mini-games/sports into the game. It’d be a good way to break the monotony especially in MP. From things like darts and pool tables to actual sports. Or even video games if you have power. Sports like tennis, basketball or soccer would probably be easiest. Physical activities would also have the bonus of training fitness.
I'd also suggest the campsite west of Riverside. It has two shops with apartments on a second story with everything you would need. One is a general store with a modern apartment and the second is one with more of a cabin feal which would be great for expansion. It also has a gas station just down the road. The location is extremally far from any other POIs so it can be great for those that want to stay isolated and self-sufficient.
I started a base there, but it was a bit to isolated, so i moved to the Three mansions by the lake & river, to the west of west point. One of the mansions was a preppers house with a decent amount of guns, melee weapons, food & meds, it was also full of walking dead preppers😆.
The Farmhouse in Muldraugh would be a good option as long as you aren’t doing the CDDA Challenge, but even then, that’s where I usually find the needle I need to stitch up my leg.
Btw, the “isolated forest home” at 1:51 is literally just a meth lab. There is medical equipment in the trashy white building.
Yeah i just know it as "The meth lab"
Its like tv holiday guides , with character pose and everything :D luv it
i like to build my base within the louisville defense perimeter. I use the tents near the burned village that still has an intact gas pump. Then i start building my own house. It's almost impossible for zombies to get in. The fences entrances are too far away, so any zombie attracted to you will just stand behind the fence.
Theres a lumber mill south of the fire station in rosewood, it has a wood fence all around it with a chai link gate and a TON of logs which are perfect for people who like to build
I'm sad you didn't mention that the isolated forest home is a meth lab / crack shack. It's a trailer filled with lab equipment that spawns guns in the cabinets, and sometimes you'll find a hazmat suit zombie there, too. The house beside it is piled with trash, basically the only furniture in there is a couch to smoke up on.

there's a big warehouse in the north-west corner of Louisville (between Fossoil HQ and a gas station) that I found surprisingly solid for a big base. It has a south entrance for cars that can be fenced in rather easily, and 1 door + some windows to the west, these would be the only points of entrance for zombies. Otherwise it's completely surrounded by big fences. The warehouse itself has a couple small rooms for personal quarters, 2 floors. Then there's an absolutely massive space for your own custom base, tons of shelves, of course there's useful items as well, and the location is very close to massively useful stores while not being crammed full of zombies itself. I was honestly surprised by how useful that place ended up being on my last run. Only thing it's missing is nature, there is no grass, no trees.
I quite like the mall idea, gonna have to give it a try at some point. Thanks!
Great job! I especially like the park ranger station. It even occasionally has a few guns on the second floor.
I do like the train yard south of Muldraugh. Somehow, claustrophobic characters do not panic if living in those hangars. And its pretty chill once you've cleared all Z's being since its out of town.
One of the best bases in Louisville is the Mounted Police Barracks in the bottom left of the park at the center of Louisville. The building only has windows on one side and an entrance big enough for cars. You can build a big double gate to block it off. The building has an open courtyard in the center of it so you can work on cars and farm in safety. The building has a small armory, office, bay bedroom with 4 bunk beds, bathroom and two storage rooms. There is a parking lot in front and a white picket fence around the whole compound. There are three large water barrels around and a small pond too. The park has a large pond in the center of it. Diagonally at the other corner of the park is the visitor’s center with a wood burning oven.
Not far from the barracks are two gas stations, a police station, school, small bookstore, liquor store, garage/tire store, pawn shop, garden center, small mall, and big gigamart!
We're basing in the Louisville Baseball stadium and it's great. Large open area to build in, huge perimeter provided by the stadium buildings which are easy to plug up. Safe, farm friendly and close to the action. Only thing it's missing is a water source to fish from (like most bases).
Me and my son built a base on the railway bridge over the river just outside West point, that was a great base, could fish into the river off the roof, and snipe the Z's on the highway bridge just next door.😆
0:07 I like the house behind the firestation, its blocked by fences from 3 ways
My favorite always second floor of Muldraugh warehouse, you need to deestroy the leader first and it's a warehouse, of course there's a sledgehammer
"isolated forest home" is called a drug lab. it also spawns guns and some tools and if you like the civilian bulletproof vest, then you can find one there
I’ve always liked the Army Surplus south of riverside. Plenty of weapons, somewhat remote while still having connections to major roads, a small hospital nearby, a mechanic shop just across the street, a gas station at the mechanic shop. It just seems like a great place to go when you can clear it out.
Man I was just thinking that I need a new komp video in my life. Nice to know you were listening :)
I'm always listening.
@@kompv Oh fuck what have a done?
Me and my friends base is west of Wespoint by a lake and the river in the middle of a forest with 3 big houses and our house/fortified base uses the big metal fences and it’s great. Farming space, fishing, isolated so hardly any zombies.
I appreciate that he's casually relaxing in the middle of the tennis court
Another place alotta people overlook is the abandoned CGE Corp warehouse in the abandoned neighborhood west of Rosewood. It's also in an interesting location close to the new map expansion and where (I presume) Brandenburg KY will be when it comes out.
One I've never seen mentioned is the gas station and booze shop in Valley Station.
Two fully-furnished upstairs houses, plus plenty of fuel.
The radio station near riverside is great. It has a fence near it and a larger fenced off area around it.
Agree, i've had a base there too and it was great place
I love the radio station deep in the woods just outside the Riverside trailer park. It's got its ups and downs but it's good enough for one player, could serve up to three or four in multiplayer. It has a car path but it is still isolated from most wandering zeds, has foraging opportunities, has a fence to protect eventual livestock from zed, and is a great roleplay option overall. Furthermore with the rain barrels from the fishing shop in Riverside you can set up there on Day 1 if you spawn in Riverside and either hotwire a vehicle from having the Burglar profession or find a key for a working vehicle. Additionally I imagine it's actually a pretty good decent base in PvP servers simply because the building doesn't offer loot that is worthwhile enough to go out of your way to raid it for and being near Riverside already - which is already considered a bit boring - makes it a decent safehouse simply because you're unlikely to have visitors.
My base of choice is right next to the baseball stadium in the middle of Louisville. The white building only has one set of stairs to knock down. I'm pretty much completely safe with plenty of room for storage and workshops, and a roof farm on the adjacent building.
By following the road in riverside, closest to the river, and going south and then east, past the few houses off the road, you will find a secluded camp-site-ish house in the forest. It is down a path on the road going east from Riverside to West Point. It doesn’t necessarily have everything you need, but I made a base there and it is wonderful. There are basically no zombies, and to find any at all, you have to drive down the road pretty far. There is a house, a large shed with storage, and a weird roofed thing with boxes in it. It is close enough to riverside where you can make runs for items and books.
In my base I made, I built a compound using the curved shape of the house and it is pretty cool. I also just got a fishing rod, so I can walk about thirty seconds to the river and fish. 10/10 location, I love it. I also have survived 40 days so far which is my longest ever!
The American Tire Store outside of West Point is nice. It's right on the edge of town but it's not too bad in terms of zombies from what I've seen. It's got the shopfloor, the double garage in the back, the second floor office, a kitchen, and it's just a neat space.
It's also sounded by woodlands and within walking distance of the river for fishing, I considered it as my West point base.
The American Tire outside of West Point is pretty good too and hardly anyone uses it. Its right outside of all the zombies of west point and the train track near can take you anywhere you need to go.
Ngl I kinda really like the car lot in riverside, lots of cars to steal or salvage, fence all the way around, and a very nice location for wood, and close to the main shopping areas of riverside
Theres a nice cabin area just south of Riverside. Theres a dirt road turn off on the highway just south of the Fossoil in southern Riverside. Its got enough trees to keep the zombies away and it far enough that no matter how loud you are, your safe. But its still a 3 min drive into town.
I love the rosewood mechanic, its big spacious and has alot of shelves. Its also right at the gas station.
The apartment above the gas station is also good, although for a while you will have to clear the constant stream of Z coming in off the highway.
The Golf Club in Louisville, Fence on one side with parking beyond it and the exposed side is a forest. It's as isolated as you can get in the middle of the big city.
I remember visiting the first two sites in search of resources and those areas had a mid zombie population, perhaps they are affected by zombies that migrate and spawn from the roads
The best base I've ever found in the map is the gas station on the highway leading into Louisville. Its in a relatively quiet spot between two cities, a minute's drive from the Army checkpoint and Mall (not the main Mall, but the original one without a gun store) and lots of points of interest within short travel. Yes there are zombies in the trailer parks nearby and also on the highway - but both are 100% manageable with some thought, and you don't even need to be quiet.
Its also walled on two sides with unbreakable tall fences, is right next to a decent sized wooded area, has a pond just down the road, several warehouses a short trip away and lots of cars to salvage. Oh, and effectively infinite fuel and a large car park. And a decent sized garden area. And two reasonably sized two story shops with apartments. And massive amounts of storage space with crates, shelves, freezers, washing machines, a single story bathroom area that can easily be plumbed into water collectors...
Literally the only downside to that base is its far away from spawn locations and there's quite a few initial zombies in the area - so you need to prepare with a car and plenty of ammo if you want to clear it in good time. But once its secure - its perfect, ripe for expansion and safe without being boring.
Ruby Gas?? I was based above the liquor store next door for a while, before moving just down the road to the big warehouse. I like living in commercial building with roof access.😆
There's this massive group of depots isolated from the city iself but near Maldraugh or whatever it's called, there are 2 big depots and 2 small ones, I've established my base in the bottom big one and it's spacious and has tons of metal things for you to scrap and all appliances necessary for your survival, such as sinks, microwaves, and a radio. I also park my cars inside the base, which is a possibility because of its sheer size, and the depot that I used has a small room with 2 shelves (50 inventory space each) and a counter with sink, which is great for storing your stuff, and to make it even better, food is not an issue since you can quickly get to the city (Less than 2 minutes to get there) and go on a looting spree or just set up a farm
The name of the depot is McCoy Logging, there are 2 entrances to get there and I remember that there's a sign in one of them that says "McCoy Logging", which should help you get there
Im here to say that i have ate ostrich, and am disappointed because it tastes like chicken
woah..
Clarks Storage in Muldraugh is my current fave. It needs work to turn it into a 'house', but has high fences and some buffer cells around it. It's near the highway, and give access to the Muld.South Gas Sattion. Post Office in Riverside is bad ass if you settle up there. Westpoint Hardware store/Gas sation combo has a lot of potential.
my friends and I love Muldraugh and the restaurant on the edge of the city where the warehouses are. There aren't a lot of zombies, quick tree-chop trough the forest on the street to McCoys wood storange thingy and much freedom for building! Also you're directly on the highway aka main street.
The 1st level fo the restaurant as storange and/or mechanics garage and upstairs you can extend the areas and build to the roof.
For me is Golf Course near Riverside, It has watersource+tree and many potential base.
Like resterant middle of golf course, 10 house with fance, or country club.
I didn't know about the first two! Def will be checking those out.
I'd love to see your opinions on various map mods! I just played the Daegu Metro map and it is WILD
I recently posted up in the clothing store located in the highway rest stop south of west point. It even has a gas station and i converted most of the clothing store into a garage with a very lucky sledge living in the back storage room
just started a new run with a buddy and we're at the relay station and dont forget to point out that the top corner has a hole in the fence. I put 2 file cabinets there until my carpentry and metalworking was high enough to block it properly
there's a group of 3 big houses to the west of west point which i quite like, there's a cabin nearby with a woodstove and it's right next to the river. one of the houses even has a tall fence around it!
Ive based there before, in the tall fence house. Died to a Z in the woods coming back from the cabin.
The rosewood construction yard is great too. 3 buildings unbreakable high walls. Lots of empty space already secure and a bit further from the city then the firehouse
just any other normal mall in Ohio
I like the 2 story gas station in phallas lake. Water source, gas, sake distance to most of the towns.
More please
baby wake up: komp uploaded a new video

I think the gas station in that small town tween riverside and rosewood (doe valley?) Is great. 2 storys, low pop zombies near by, an that town has all you need with a hardware and farm store(with gun counter), medical, and a bar.
I live St. Peregrin Hospital. Perhaps, there is nothing good. A few thousands of zombies, poor supplies and a too big complex to defend.
A survivor UA-camr I follow died there. I have migrated there just to build her memorial.
It is one of so many ways to find one's base location, imo.
My fave is the farm house just north of Riverside. Near enough to riverside so you can do raids into it but has a forest inbetween to easily lose zeds. Lots of land to build with fields for crops surrounded by fences. You also have a river near the back for water. Not near anything major so player traffic is low.
On a looting run, realised the Scarlet Oak Distillery would be excellent AFTER the helicopter event. Not a huge amount of zeds in or outside in the parking lot, and all that you can drink!
(Water is there as well if you want to be weak)
heavy on farm farm that has always been my go to base since I started also its less than a day drive away to the military surplus store
I personally like the Smokeys Saloon & Restaurant in the North-East of Muldraugh as well as the Cortman Medical inside of Muldraugh. Both have a complete apartment in the first floor (or second floor for Americans) and I like to have everything I need just ready for me to move in, so I don't have to bother with moving heavy stuff that much. You can in both cases just put some ropes out of the window and then destroy the stairs with a sledgehammer, although I personally don't do that usually. With the Smokeys Saloon & Restaurant you can even destroy a wall and connect that apartment with the second floor of the actual Saloon and then remove the stairs of the Saloon and you instantly have all the space you need especially when you put some additional floor down. Both cases can have problems with high zombie population of course, although it's not that bad, both areas aren't usually the main area for zombies to hang around. But well, I mostly play on Survivor.
I base in the warehouse just next door to Smokeys, roof access and theres always a sledge hammer on the crates, destroy the stairs and put down a floor and its great, u can get your vehicles inside too. Muldraugh highway is always infested at the beginning tho.
Here are some more
-Riverside police station
-Southern Storage building in mauldraugh
-Louisville Shooting range
The isolated forest house (meth lab) is a great spot Ive stayed in many times. Just be warned though, it cannot be claimed as a safehouse in multiplayer because both buildings are marked as industrial buildings, not residential. Even the cabin.
I love doing the mall that is not in Louisville , it is best done with a group though, otherwise you just end up living in an apartment at the top of the mall :P
I'd just caution anyone about the 7 story apartment building with the penthouse. Sure it has a nice garage attached and a lot of rooms to loot. But it also spawns with a gigantic horde spread all over the building. A single good gunshot outside and you'll have zombies raining outside the building for the next 30 minutes (as well as destroying a ton of the glass windows)
I'm gonna need to check out that Park Ranger building. That seems like a nice, cozy little area.
cinema in march ridge is great. 2 stories with massive storage capability and a giant ass roof for whatever you want
There is a radio station west of the country club in the middle of the forest.
It's a pretty amazing base for a small group.
My usual spot is the farm in the woods north of Muldraugh, quiet, lots of space and close to a gas station and the town itself
It's quite annoying that the only current run I play on is a CDDA one, and most of these are out of the question because unless I chose a spot with zero zombies all around ill just be coming back to 1 or 2 hordes every time I return from a looting run.
That farmhouse gave me some BO2 Zombies PTSD
Any house can be a good base, depending on how well you can fortify it and possible farming area.
There’s also a little farm south of Riverside, with some markets north east, I love setting a base there, the blue house has some loot too
yoooo i did a spawn at phallus lake or ekron or whatever you call the dong lake town xD but anyways, i found the one you call farm farm and i LOVE the spot. one part that's getting tricky tho is the long dirt driveway to it, it starts growing bushes and grass and saplings and you gotta clear it up to keep your car from slowing down in it
also when he shows it its not centered on the map, its the red dot off to the side
there's a playground near the vhs store in riverside. build up to the jungle gym house or use the working ladders mod. it's perfect with nearby river, grassland, bar, restaurant, vhs, clinic, downtown, and forest, and very few zombies.
I think you kinda forgot about American AutoShop in the West Point. Its a great location too. Base needs are all around, and it is isolated enough to not get raided instantly.
I like the School, you break the stairs and built on the 2nd story. Then you use a sheet rope to get up and down.
I made a base on that building in the center of louisville, will soon be posting a tour video of it, it getting pretty awesome
The three houses with a fireplace in each one of them located on the far edge of West Point. There is a log cabin with a wood fire stove inside that can be move to the three house but you already have a fireplace and thus do not need it.
Above the lecture hall at Louisville University. Enough space under one roof to build a village. If you don't mind first constructing over 700 floor tiles first. :)
Except LSU is always INFESTED when i go there.🤣
@@uhtred7860 Part of the charm of LV. Death everywhere.
Meta events draw hordes into your base. Unless you turn off those you still always get over ran.
2:12 Now that I think about it, there wasn't a tape inviting you to a cult or something like that.
my main base is the relay station and currently i'm enclosing large gated communities in Louisville
the top of the ohio mall looks like the dead rising 1 one
I based in the buildings between Dixie on one file, its a really good location due to its proximity to Muldraugh AND Dixie, a good amount of storage just be careful because the wood house doesn't have electricity, get a lamp from a house. I'm also 90% sure its a drug lab.
The little place near Muldraugh is a meth lab. It's great as it can have alcohol, some guns and ammo. Once I found an M16 there... Fun stuff.
Across bridge near Westpoint is a corner, which hardly any zombie visits, and its close to Loisville. Just needs some chopping and building.
I built a base on the railway bridge, great place to build once you have a sledgehammer.
@@uhtred7860 some cross that bridge, but idea is brilliant. Especially building completely atop it.
@@HECKAKYH-ADEKBATEH Yeah i built up on top of it, then broke down the stairs i built and just used a rope to get up and down.

I think the playground house in Riverside is the most unique, but you need a ladder mod to use the two ladders, or build some stairs to get into it.
Done the relay station. Quite excellent.
