7 Best NEW Base Locations in Project Zomboid - Build 42

[@Awpenheimer]

Which one is your favourite!?

[@ardiyansahgalaxi4932]

Rosewood fire departement, wth that sthupid question? Lol

[@TheUnholybringer]

Always liked the military fort thats east of Louisville. They have also updated a bit of it adding a furnace and an anvil to one of the rooms.

[@Justice_for_dtb_face]

@@Awpenheimer definitely the meadshite estate gives me twd vibes

[@RafLow91]

I have found awesome place in the new area on the west with huge house, lake, place for animals and farming. And i accidentialy burn it down trying to cook some pot in the microwave

[@Zasurein]

The new Brandenburg community center is perfect for a group of players, its too large for one person. Its central to the town and even has an indoor pool for water.

[@ARTEMISXIX]

It's worth mentioning that indestructible fences will be very much destructible very soon as it is a planned feature.

[@Awpenheimer]

yeahhh haha! although it will be a sandbox option :D

[@GamerMarine89]

Is there any word yet on when they plan on implementing them?

[@Awpenheimer]

@ not specifically nope

[@adamcarlton3312]

​@@GamerMarine89 I think it's meant to be in the stable launch of b42

[@GamerMarine89]

@adamcarlton3312 rip so about 3 years from now

[@lapsens1346]

Check put McCoy’s estate to the south-west of West Point. It’s remote, has a lake, 3 buildings, full blacksmithing setup, SEVEN ancient ovens and ELEVEN freezers. The main building is 3 floors, though no basement. Also generator spawn inside main building, chickens and an already setup farm area.

[@Awpenheimer]

Oh damn that place sounds STACKED

[@lapsens1346]

It is! There is even an option to clear a path through the forest to make driving through it 5x shorter.

[@forsythia8717]

It's awesome! The only problem is that it takes quite a bit of fuel to run the generator and the closest gas station is not THAT close.

[@faustd6604]

Hey, where is this place ? been looking for it for a while and can't find it anywhere

[@Mann7117]

@@forsythia8717There's fuel just south. You dont need to run everything. I turn most of the lights off and disassmeble or store the freezers. That place is overkill.

[@Awpenheimer]

Somehow forgot to show the location of the lake house... Its called 'Schuberts Estate', a small lake between Ekron and Brandenburg!

[@Gneeznow]

I've been playing since build 26 which is over a decade ago and I always live in the same 2 or 3 houses because I'm a creature of habit

[@hiddendesire3076]

I’d throw in the Rusty Rifle Bar in Muldraugh. Multiple rooms, storage, a workshop, a garage, kitchen, nearby backyard farms with animals you can “requisition”, etc.

[@hiddendesire3076]

Oh forgot to mention, there is also a basement, I think it is a “built in”/always spawns basement. Not too big and sadly the barrels are decorative, but it looks nice. If they are ever made interactive, it could make for good boiled/fresh water storage.

[@goaway152]

man it got a really great glow up didnt it. i love the Edison bulbs out front.

[@Justice_for_dtb_face]

That meadshite estate kinda looks like that one abandoned gated community called Wiltshire Estates in the walking dead comic book issue 8 just need a sign at the entrance that says “ALL DEAD DO NOT ENTER”😅

[@dillpickel6767]

The diner gas station was my immediate base location for echo creek

[@walternelson2687]

Neil's Farm just south of Echo Creek is another great spot. Several buildings for housing, a well in a centralized area along with a strong fence. You just have to patch the fence a bit and it's a great spot for an out of the way community. Another spot for the solo survivor: just past the river, right next to Neil's Pond is a lone cabin that's a murder scene. Fix up the door and you're good to go. Ignore the fact that the keys you find on the hippies at Neil's farm are labeled "Cultist's keys". There's nothing special about that. Not at all.

[@Pazliacci]

until they fix it, most BASEMENT bases are actually a trap, as currently basements are unable to be powered by generators.

[@OrangeRising]

That bunker would be a nightmare once the power is out, unless its big generator is functional and not a decoration.

[@farandwide7176]

The water fails with the rest of knox county so I am assuming the power does too. It was also empty when I found it. Nothing but a gas mask and cleaning solution. Loot was set to normal.

[@falloutfart9917]

A nice place I’ve found is the hotel outside of Brandenburg; a few bedrooms upstairs, large kitchen, near to the river, secluded but still near a major town. Only real downside is the orientation and the lack of a built in garage.

[@iwanturface]

Please keep telling us about new interesting places on the map. I'd love to see it! It's a pity that all this won't appear in the main game for at least a year, I think.

[@zombie-ash-gaming]

Some great locations! I think the bunker is my favorite one for sure!

[@castoridk8961]

i think its a bit unsafe because it only has 1 exit and generator cant power basements i think (rest is upto u)

[@spaderttv]

love the editing style here - glad to have some clear cut B42 content so soon. hope your channel booms with the buzz around the new update.

[@Awpenheimer]

@@spaderttv Thankyou!!

[@visenya9]

The farm looks so much like The Walking Dead S1 farm too! Just needs the RV out front.

[@bluesnail5042]

I think there's an even greater farm right on the map's western border. It has a well, a two story ranch house, a garage, tool shed, an antique stove, an animal barn with pigs already there, an empty chicken coop, a full fence surrounding it, and a deep forest around it. The only downside to it is its distance from loot locations, with the closest being Ekron if you take an off-road shortcut across a field

[@Awpenheimer]

oh wow, I'll have to check it out!

[@MistereXMachina]

I spawned literally right next to the echo creek station in my most recent playthrough. Crazy good location, it's wild to see it in a video lol

[@WakoDoodle]

I hope they (or someone make a mod of this) adds for bunkers/basements a double-door hatch. So we can lock them incase zombies overrun the area. Think of those old farm ones, you get a chain + padlock and you can secure the doors once you close them. Reinforcing it so if you're downstairs, zombies won't just wander down. Ofc the doors and chain will get damaged but it should increase it's health a but since I doubt zombies can figure out how to open, let alone break them. And if you want to leave, simple get the key and unlock it! Or break it but that would be if you forgot the key. Lockpicking could also work if you're skilled. That way, underground would have its own way to be safe; like 2nd floor sheet rope methods. Because who would just have a door underground? Thats silly!

[@JimmyAgent007]

The far left of the map, it shows up as a gas icon on the fancy map at a new game, but its an isolated farm house on the main road between the two big towns. its where I relocated my gas station base after clearing out the new starter town.

[@VolframC]

amazing video, looking forward to more of these! gives me the same giddy feeling of starting up a new minecraft seed, so much potential to daydream about

[@TheElmo337]

New rusty rifle in muldraugh. you only need to A SMALL portion of one side to be fully surrounded by high fences and has everything you need within the area.

[@CulturedVultures]

Check out Neil's Farm! south of Echo Creek, basically a massive cult complex with animals, crops, and a main building that has a basement armoury. not overly populated either

[@adamcarlton3312]

A lot of the houses you mentioned being able to expand onto the roof actually have triangle roofs you weren't seeing because of noclip so they'd be kinda awkward to expand onto.

[@peger]

1st spot have masive roswood fire station vibe. The lake house look really cool. But sadly lack of pavement road is no for me.

[@andrzejpec4886]

Hey Awpen! Cheers from Poland 🇵🇱 I've watched it till you made it to the bunker and gotta say, left a like, left subscribe all, but ceased to watch. Why? Well, why would I want to lose all of the exploring entertainment myself right? Great job though, thank you for your quality content ^^

[@Awpenheimer]

Have fun exploring :D !!

[@UristMcPerson]

That's not a watch tower in the fire station at 13:20. That's a training/practice tower for firefighters to deploy ladders onto.

[@Cookies_._]

you forgot to show where the lake house is

[@Awpenheimer]

Yeahhhh, ‘schuberts estate’ between ekron and brandenburg

[@codyjames7019]

Gonna throw a couple more out there. Blairs Feed and seed at the big crossroads west of echo creek. Also the cultist compound also near echo creek would be great when MP comes out

[@Awpenheimer]

@@codyjames7019 nice!! I’ll check em out and maybe feature them in a future video

[@juschrslol3642]

14:10 that is NOT the north east of the map

[@Awpenheimer]

Damn yeah dunno how I got that wrong…. Oops

[@juschrslol3642]

@@AwpenheimerGood video tho, first one ive seen covering bases in b42 and the locations are great!

[@Drie_Kleuren]

I cant wait for multiplayer to get out. I often play co-op with 1-2 friends. I think Meadshite Estate is great. I found this yesterday in game and my thought was, wow this alexandra from twd. I think if multiplayer comes out my friends and I are going straight for this place and just live here :D

[@Benjcachou]

the farm is a CLEAR reference to the walking dead's farm

[@That_Bman]

Excellent video man. 10/10

[@Awpenheimer]

Thanks bruh!!

[@Wolfnacht]

Good vid, that fire station looks awesome with that watch tower. A vid on where you can find guns in the 3 new cities could be nice too.

[@Awpenheimer]

Thanks! I do plan on making a video around the new guns so I'll include that also :)

[@Wolfnacht]

@@Awpenheimer Great, looking forward to see it!

[@ikaruschan1305]

dont know bout the others but I think keeping the video relativly short and mentioning the most important stuff would be an upgrade since ppl like me want a quick review without much skipping

[@ikaruschan1305]

otherwise great content helps really out

[@HaleTheFreeVoice]

Im im surprised the cultist commune west of rosewood wasn’t on here the place is huge and has everything you need

[@grease_monkey6078]

the bunker will be great for Multiplayer when you create an army

[@jonjayb]

The chapter tag calls it meadshite estate and i love it 😂

[@Awpenheimer]

yeahhh realised my mistake.. but left it for the comedy 🤣

[@livviegoat]

might I also suggest the cultist compound. It has a massive mansion with a basement dungeon and armory.

[@Awpenheimer]

oooh where abouts on the map is that?

[@bobgrey5334]

You never did show where the large lakehouse is.

[@Awpenheimer]

Good catch... My mistake :/ ( Its called 'Schuberts Estate', a small lake between Ekron and Brandenburg! )

[@about10ninjas]

In the chapters of the video, it's "Meadshite" estate and I about fk'n died. Lol.

[@Awpenheimer]

oh damn hahaha, best change that!!! lmfao

[@murrrrrh]

5:46 is short sighted dependant on glasses now?

[@Awpenheimer]

yeahh if you lose them your screen goes blurry!

[@supermassivecow308]

my base in echo creek was down the road the farming supply store

[@ApocRNG]

Don't forget OvO farms. its basically the perfect place for a small farmstead

[@RomanOrtiz_]

I backed a car into the garage at the Echo Creek Gas Station and it bugged the car out so hard it doesn’t move now

[@goaway152]

i found a house waaaaaay south of muld and rosewood crossroads... 2 fireplaces downstairs.. then the master bedroom? yes... ANOTHER fireplace. and... lake.. half a screen away in the back yard.

[@lanceplayz3073]

Feels like im watching an advertisement about the best bases in b42

[@Awpenheimer]

I get a commission each time somebody bases up in one of these locations

[@averagesubatomo346]

The only problem I see in the bunker base is idk how to connect the rain collectors to the bottom for water when the shutoff starts unless plumbing mod? if that works?

[@Awpenheimer]

@@averagesubatomo346 I’ve heard plumbing is glitched right now so it should get fixed at some point

[@xdoomslayerx865]

Question is how hard is it to power up the bunker with generators

[@helgrdan178]

My character fractured her neck when I fell off of the Schubert's Estate roof. 😂

[@Awpenheimer]

ooof

[@christiaandutoit1094]

nice vid bro nice places, not a grand piano though lol

[@Awpenheimer]

Haha you right

Where is this located on the map? 07:15 - Schuberts Estate Lake House

[@Awpenheimer]

It’s called schubert’s estate on the map, between ekron and brandenburg

[@tripleaarcade]

I found the gas station diner right off and I thought it was way too good to be true

[@Awpenheimer]

Same haha

[@alecisla]

11:42 how to show the map in 2D? Is there an option in the settings? Thank you for this video, I really liked all the locations you showed! Subscribed 👍

[@Awpenheimer]

@@alecisla thanks! In the bottom right of the map there are a bunch of buttons, the one that is a square/4 squares, and that will flatten it :)

[@alecisla]

@@Awpenheimer Thank you so much, appreciated! 👍

[@shawnofdadead1805]

"Indestructible fences" I'm pretty sure all fences can be broken by zombies now...

[@Awpenheimer]

@@shawnofdadead1805 nah they can’t, they’ll be adding that soon, although it will be a sandbox option

[@Aizeen93]

as for food for animals, can't they just graze? and if they had access to a pond or a river, they couldn't drink from it? do you know if it works? so I don't have to worry about them so much

[@Awpenheimer]

Haven’t dived into it fully yet, will probably make a video on it in the future!

[@nonagon1299]

Watching this video, it would be funny to think someone selling real estate while in a zombie apocalypse

[@Awpenheimer]

haha that would be too funny,

[@chrisraw5367]

It may be that one or both petrol pumps are out of service at the first location. I've had this 1-2 times

[@Awpenheimer]

Oooh okay damn

[@thomastheisman1751]

I've had one or both empty on more than half my runs. Started at least 12 times. Yes different runs, not just new character.

[@Awpenheimer]

@ damn both being empty is deadddd

[@codyjames7019]

My first run with pumps were empty to, I restarted and turned off 0 gas and put it on the lowest setting instead

[@goaway152]

have you got drunk yet.... prepare for an LSD trip... the screen... wow. and dont even think about moving in a straight line.

[@TheJewishAzovMember]

Stable when? 43 when?

[@abucket14]

I thought that there are very few basements that are guaranteed to be there

[@Awpenheimer]

I believe those are fore houses, certain building like these will always have the same basements
