Battlements that stick out over the walls make defending from safety a lot easier. The same sort of design that allowed archers to defend castles from attackers that made it up against the wall.

[@mr.brollow]

Yea I didn’t know about a mod that does this till after recording maybe next time

[@imblackmagic1209]

that's why you have star shaped forts, it allows you to attack blind spots from safety, wiki page can be found as bastion forts... anyway, zomboid has a grid system, so a star shape is not possible, but outcropping defense towers in the corners are

[@oasntet]

@@mr.brollow It's actually possible to do without a mod; if you build a floor outside of a second-story window and then stand on it, you can shoot zombies below you attacking the wall the window is in. It's better to add some barriers to avoid falling off, but no mod needed.

@@UnExcited42 You wrong while trying to correct someone... A Citadel is the most protected area of a city, so it can be a castle, fortress, or fortified area, not a shape. A bastion is a "projecting part of a fortification at an angle to the line of the wall" (from the dictionary) and a bastion fort is a fortification that incorporates bastions. Now, a citadel can be a bastion fort, but a bastion fort does not have to be a citadel. Just helping to clear up that confusion for you.

[@tomsweeny6837]

This video pretty much showcases one of the major flaws of zomboid. A man spends hundreds of hours building a fortified base only to fight outside of it because the time and resources required to build it doesn't quite align with its ability to actually withstand the threat you're building it for. Too many times have I built a nice little survivor compound, only to abandon it during helicopter events because the protection it affords isn't equivalent to the rebuild and cleanup. Maybe we'll get proper concrete mechanics or even just an unmodded way to repair structural damage without rebuilding from scratch, but I'm not holding my breath.

[@stormthrush37]

I don't know if you can do it but chainlink fences in theory would be great secondary sets of walls to help protect your main actual base walls. It'd keep them off your main walls but you'd be able to shoot through them.

[@DarkKaij]

I love using this warehouse as a base, already has a second and third floor, easy to defend with secondary fence and reinforced doors

[@nerfherder4284]

In case anyone is wondering you can find propane tanks in gas BBQs by right clicking them and removing. Also, you can drink 3/4 of a bottle and still make a Molotov

Thanks for the video. It was fun to watch. A tip. When you're attaching a car to tow, exit your car, press V when standing at the front door and your character will auto path to the trunk to hitch the car/trailer.

[@Killerwale-hk4wy]

What I like in Zomboid is how every proffession takes time to learn and has quite some complicated mechanics. For beginning players, you just don't learn every skill because it's all too complicated, you take something like foraging, carpentry, mechanics etc... and you stick with that. Might just be my experience as I almost always play with 1-8 friends, but really speccing a character is fun.

[@mr.brollow]

its pretty shalow in vanilla, but mods make it way better adding whole new crafting trees and uses for skills which are otherwise pretty much irelevant past like 4 points (electronics)

[@dfeelz1488]

you dont really use the workbench... if you have it within range, it adds some context options on items that you might not usually be able to disassemble, etc.

[@OtsdarvaOS]

7:48 Iv never played Zomboid for more then an hour or so. But honestly when you said you would build at the center of the intersection I thought it was because the cars would provide metal for you to use to build with.

[@bobbyn3884]

when collecting logs use the 3 and 4 log stacks. They weigh much less than single logs and let you transport many more in the same vehicle/inventory. Just need some ripped sheets to make the log stacks

[@Pancake_Nix]

You don't need a sledge to loot a police station. Funny enough, the tough-looking security doors can be disassembled with a hammer. Also, if you kill zombies inside houses that have at least one locked door, there's a chance they will spawn with a key upon death and you can simply waltz in the gun room if you find one.

[@awitness4jehovah]

Great video! I have the Workbench on one of my saves. I'll look it up later and post better specifics. IIRC, you just have to be in proximity of the workbench. You can disassemble broken or surplus tools for metal parts which can be turned into scrap. You can also get metal pipes and sheets from some items. Opening up Crafting may have more items; as may simply right clicking the workbench itself. I never did figure out the weirdly named thing for disassembling car parts or the purpose of ?? a gas tank station. I was hoping to use it to refill propane tanks, but never knew what to do with it lol. I'll definitely be checking out the gas station propane gas mod!!! Eventually. Right now I'm trying out Atomic Ducks mod pack and map. And I tend to get obsessed and spend way too much time in one game 😅 Using the large trucks is probably the best way to do things in a regular game. With RV interior, I usually look for the largest semi early on and build tons of storage inside. You can't bring the shopping carts in them though, so there's still too much back and forth. And then there's the Double Decker Bus mod which I recently fell in love with. It has the added bonus of letting you exit the interior mod to inside the bus instead of kicking you out blindly into the world lol

[@mr.brollow]

Damn thank you sm for the quick explanation on the mod. One day I def wanna try using it for something. Also the propane gas mod is so good. Prob will be one of those mods I cant play without now.

[@awitness4jehovah]

@@mr.brollow No problem. I just got back in the game. In the Crafting menu, i't listed as "Scrapping" I'm very attached to a lot of the mods I use as well. RV interior is the biggest; but also little things like cleaning dirt and ash, different furniture, Better Lockpicking and growing tobacco lol

You should have built metal walls with windows, then welded bars onto them to shoot through.

[@mr.brollow]

Is that in the base game or does that require a mod to make metal bars for windows

[@Das_Mexikaner]

That's vanilla. 3 Metal Bars, Welder Mask, and 1 unit in a Propane Torch will make the contextual option show in the same place as wood barricades, even with zero Metalworking. If the option doesn't show on your constructed walls with a window hole, you may need to insert a window from another building (or build one with a mod). I've had the game allow me to barricade a constructed window wall without inserting a window, and other times it was necessary.

[@1chaplain]

Since you have access to industrial propane tank, I'm assuming you're using metalworking expanded mod. You could just get a Bundle of Wire fence and surround your base with it. Wire fences are cheap and you can make wires out of metal sheets. It would be the first thing zombies destroy instead of your actual walls

[@GunnerSentinel]

I wish the game had a 3D 1st person feature exactly like the intro, keeping the plain textures and shapes

[@tooslow4065]

i would have just built wooden walls, parked cars in front of them or built crates in front. that way zeds couldnt attack the walls. and then built outward on the 2nd floor away from the base, then used that to shoot zeds at the walls. then junked the stairs and put in sheet rope. and then instead of grabbing furniture that i couldnt actually use, i'd have spent the time getting more food, guns, ammo, and fuel.

Wait until you use the Peterbuilt Mod.

This is why I dont play Project Zomboid. I love building/survival games, but in PZ it takes forever for a solo player to do something. Gathering materials, upgrading skills and building something - hours upon hours. Carry limit make it even harder. In a similar timetable, in a game like Minecraft, with some good tech mods, you can have a fully functioning base and a lot of fun setting it up. In PZ I can't take it. Either I end up using consoles/cheats or just drop out of game bored as hell. Still impressive work for PZ.
