How To Build A Base From Scratch In Project Zomboid Build 41 2023 Tutorial/Guide

  • In Project Zomboid, one of my favourite elements or aspects of the game is the building system which is such an underutilised and unexplored area of Project Zomboid for most players! A lot of time, new players will look for a pre existing building to make their main base location which can be good, however nothing is better than making your own building and base exactly how you want it and exactly how you need it!
    In this tutorial I will guide you through building a base from complete scratch and all the necessary steps to first, build the most basic base to then adding extensions, then a second floor and finally extra features such as a farm and rain water collector barrels to get unlimited water! Furthermore, you do not have to copy this base 1:1 as this is only a basic template, you can make whatever you would like!

    This brought a faint memory to me, me and my faction built this huge Outpost close to Westpoint next to the river and we called it the "Fishing Village", we built it cause incase we stayed far from our base we can always just go here cause it will be dangerous to go out at night cause umm night sprinters(Its a mod), we worked days real time on it and then we went to this event then one of our own fell off a roof then we laughed our @sses off for weeks, its good memories but its all gone now. I miss it

      Yeah love building big old compounds with friends and yeah thats a cool name for the village! And ah yeah night sprinters are always scary! And oh god so in the end someone just fell off, did they die or was it a broken leg ect?

    Another tip, if you build lvl 1 walls first and upgrade them their hp stacks so they're much stronger than going straight to lvl 3

    You're also going to need garbage bags to get some rain catchers going and a crowbar to take windows out of their frames from other houses. Solid work tho oh and a tip start with lvl1 walls and upgrade them in order and they'll end up being stronger than going straight lvl 3

      I was wondering, If you put a rainbarrel on the 2nd floor, instead of the 1st floor... can you still plumb a sink on ground level? Or does it only work if it's directly on the roof above the floor you're working on?

    • @Paulie-276
      @Paulie-276 Рік тому +1

      @@Stinokuni Yea it has to be on the roof directly above , on any square adjacent to the sink.
      You can build a platform outside to put a barrel on thatll serve the ground floor it doesnt have to be directly above the sink.

    I always pick up curtains. The improvised sheets are good for in a pinch. But I usually just grab some real curtains. They look more cool and you have different variants. Its just a small touch. But the curtains are more heavy and it can be annoying to find something but it really looks better. Also plastering walls and painting them looks cool. The wood looks good in natural forest areas but it can be a bit awkward if you just made a wall inside a building. But if you like the survivor realistic look the wooden walls look great.

    FOR WINDOWS... Although not really a Necessity, You can add Glass by Using a crowbar and removing intact windows from the houses.
    If you don't have the Higher Carpentry skill for Level 3 walls, not to worry, you can build the lower level walls (gaining XP in the Process) and as you get better, you CAN upgrade the walls.
    AT LEVEL THREE WALLS, you can use Plaster to make your walls paintable! At any level you can upgrade your floors by simply picking up the tiles you like from other buildings. Even with No Windows on the First Floor, if you want, you can plant your garden there as well, but you'll have to either haul the water in by hand, or plumb a sink in there (with an outdoor Water Barrel on the Second floor).
