This is the Ultimate Doomsday Survival Fortress

[@moistnuggests]

Some critique: -Using rain water if there is a nuclear disaster would contaminate your entire reservoir with irradiated water. Same for biological/chemical attack. -Hydroponics are a thing that exist, you can easily grow food underground. You can also raise animals underground. -Generators that run on ethanol are a thing that exist, devote a certain percentage of crops to ethanol production and never worry about running out of power. What you really need for a bunker: -A large space, enough to accommodate some utility rooms like: hydroponics, air scrubber/oxygen production room, water storage/desalination, lab/hospital. Housing for however many people you want to house and a recreation/entertainment room. -Aforementioned utility rooms/facilities -Information vault - basically an offline wiki of how to do everything you might need to do, in case something breaks down...your life will depend on you knowing how to fix it or work around the issue. Also how to make various medicines or treat/diagnose illnesses. -Seed vault - if you plan on surviving long term you need food, a large variation of plants/crops will make sure your dietary requirements are met -Tools equipment that you will not be able to make in an isolated situation as well as some raw materials for maintaining equipment/electronics: copper, plastic, steel, etc. -Some form of currency that will always be valuable such as gold/silver. -If you plan on being isolated you won't really need a massive weapons cache, since you plan on bunkering up your best choice for weapons will be something simple, short range, and with reduced risk of high speed ricochets in the enclosed space; shotguns. So my ideal bunker would be deep underwater in a large freshwater lake. [Pros] -Even if the water surrounding the bunker is contaminated, once you dig down far enough the water should be clean and you can then further filter/boil it for and extra layer of safety. -If any of your major life support systems fails you have an easy and safe escape. You don't have to worry about scavengers/raider/zombies in the middle of a large lake an inflatable/buoyant life boat tethered to the main structure in theory would give you a quick escape. -You don't have to worry about space, you can make the thing as big as your budget allows -Construction would be cheaper than digging a similarly sized structure. From what I've seen on underwater construction, all you have to do it make prefabricated structures and sink them. -Nuclear blasts on the surface aren't as much of a threat if you're underwater. [Cons] -Humans are not built to spend extended periods underground and there is a slight possibility you and your roommates will go insane, a possibility that increases the longer you spend underground. -You aren't completely safe from a nuclear blast, if a nuke lands into the lake and detonates your bunker is probably going to get crushed with you along with it -While you're safe from all natural disasters...except earthquakes which would be even more deadly than they usually are so avoid making your bunker near fault lines.

I have made a electric generator... I took a gas generator took the gas motor off and hooked up an electric motor to it and I have it hooked up in a way that it runs for free for ever... the battery powers the motor that spins the generator and then that generator powers everything I need along with recharging the battery that is powering the generator... the generator creates more power than what is being used by the electric motor so free never ending power and zero harmful gasses or waste...

assuming an unlimited budget and materials just build a mega refugee center on the moon......with a shelter under the moonscape as a countermeasure from meteorite strikes you can build facilities aboveground for producing all the products you need. You also have a virtually unlimited space for solar energy plants as well as enough space. for a nuclear reactor. Most of all who would be dumb enough to target the moon with no strategic value at all except for you who saw it as the site to build the ultimate fortress.

[@Sir_Uncle_Ned]

Problem: Nuke hits nearby = good bye surface portion. You need to think GRANDER. Think ultimate concealment. Build the structure suspended on a massive set of hydraulic pistons. When you get confirmation that nukes are airborne, retract the pistons. Bring the entire complex underground, wall and all, so that it is not damaged in the initial blast. Once everything is settled down, deploy the rooftop solar panels and wind turbines, raise the wall start charging a massive battery bank, then, once the batteries are all charged up, use the power to raise the structure to normal height. Once the hydraulics have done their job, an automated system will seal the fluid in the pistons, preventing the structure from sinking. And, yeah, you would need at least one or two levels dedicated to hydroponics to make it truly survivable.

A few ideas: 1. Mine with explosives in the escape tunnel. Just in case the blast doors are breached. 2. Have a workshop with everything you would need. Lathe, 3D printer, forge and etc. 3. Vertical farming. 4. MSR reactor, preferably a Thorium one. 5. Biosphere set up. Lots of air, food and waste disposal. 6. A Star fortress design, but I like your slanted walls. (Side note: Due to the walls. I don’t think you’ll get much light to grow things) 7. A massive hanger for vehicles, aircraft’s and ships. 8. Close to airports, harbor and train system. 9. Close to certain mines. 10. Have the concrete walls line with Rhino coating with a faraday cage installed inside. 11. As much as possible have things run on gears. Since it’s easiest to recreate with supplies on hand. 12. Add hospital. 13. Tech room. Have servers hold as much knowledge as possible. Also add a communication there as well. 14. Have a gold and jewels bank vault. I think that’s a good start.

[@leonidasvagelatos3904]

There's always room for improvement. First of all you need several of these places, not just one. You need not just to survive, but to reboot civilization, so several complexes would be advised. Now when it comes to security, imagine people getting to your fortress via an underground tunnel/s, you need to make sure they cant do that. Imagine people launching stuff to contaminate the ones inside and their crops, you need the stuff to prevent that as well. You don't need all those hatches to escape cause there will be no hurry to do so. An escape can be programmed, the hard thing is camouflaging the escape door/s with the natural environment in a cave system perhaps. All the rest you got it covered more or less.

[@Bore_hole]

I agree with your idea and i have multiple add-on, as you said, if you have an unlimited budget you could construct 1. underground farm using UV lights, replaced the top farm with something else (mention below) 2. air purification systems 3. also, put everything in the surface structure (gym, armory, etc.) and put it down in the underground section, there could be more solar panels and wind turbines, you could line the top of the curved walls with solar panels and on the top section of the surface tower. 4. hazmat and radiation suits, if there is a nuclear fallout, the surface is going to be filled with radiation so you need protection, you could line the suits with armor plates to prevent breaching of the suits and if you have it, line it with kevlar to protect against bullets and other wacky weapons raiders, looters and attackers may have.

That was a very nicely put together video, well done. I'd only say ground source heat pumps were missing, just in case the sun is obscured by nuclear counterstrikes. Also as our costs are so close to a billion dollars, a concealed helicopter landing pad might have been handy - the building is already a good shape for it. The issue of keeping it inconspicuous above ground could have been achieved by having it pneumatically raise to a relevant height for protection, lowered to keep it discrete. Does make zombie issues a little trickle though. Entertaining stuff though, thanks!

You almost designed the perfect bunker. With the natural tendencies of human nature will want to explore after the events if it's possible. The bunker needs some form of carport or vehicle garage with the helipad. The question for garages how do you secure it and you need to have multiple entrances so people can't discover where your bunker or garage is located. Since money is not an issue and we just added a garage I think they will have a vehicle of some sort like a US military Stryker. A vehicle that cannot be toppled by a zombie horde. I didn't hear anything about a hospital. I'll also drill down to the water table to see if I can get fresh clean water if the water is not contaminated. Great job!

There's also something to be said for building it in a cooler environment, the Upper Midwest for example. If civilization collapsed and with it modern heating systems, a good winter with prolonged sub-zero conditions would either kill off or drive south a good portion of the population. That would mean a lot fewer desperate and potentially dangerous people wandering around the area.

Would rather be over prepared than have an unexpected issue cause major problems.

A level or two of hydroponics or aquaponics (which saves roof space for more solar/wind to power UV lights for the plants) is much more productive than regular farming plus space and water efficient plus removes possibility of contamination, air and water filtration with lots of redundancy and spare parts, entire empty levels/rooms for the inevitable build up of human waste. Also if you have enough money and space for the extra people who know how to run it, a small nuclear reactor, like the kind you find in nuclear submarines and some ice breakers would provide all the power you'd need for decades, you'd just need extra super insulated levels/rooms for it, spare super insulated levels/rooms for the waste, and the people with the know-how to operate it and enough space and supplies for them.

I would of picked the upper part of michigan. 1. Your surrounded by lakes. 2. The upper top mitten part is not to crowded and towns and villages are far and few inbetween. 3. Rising sea levels will not affect michigan except for the evaporation of the lakes (the lakes will still be there, because they are massive, but the evaporation will lower the lakes levels and fierce storms will raise it). 4. The evaporation from the lakes will help a lot with collecting water and watering plants for food and if not then the water from the lakes can be distilled into clean water (close by water source, Michigan is called the Sahara Desert of freshwater for a reason). 5. you got a more leveled seeing view due to the land mostly not having very many hill's making the tower easier to defend distance wise. A nuke winter would be the opposite and a frozen wasteland to where you have to grow food indoors (and so forth). Downside is that many people will think of going north to Canada (no matter what the earth shattering event) or more north. So you will have a fight on your hands. More than likely people that are already living there most likely to survive a lot better (but it is still going to be hard with many challenges to overcome). The odd seasons will mess with crops and wildlife.

if there is nothing else you can remember from sun-tzu (the art of war guy), just remember tactical mobility or tactical fluidity. its your adaptability to any situation, which usually involves constant movement, to remain as slippery as possible for as long as you can to your enemies (or to the things you have identified are inimical to your welfare and good health). this is how jason bourne has remained alive despite all the odds against him (a fictional story, with viable strategies very very applicable in real life), this is how noah outlasted the flood, and which is why in the movie 2012 they chose to build arks instead of anything else, like an underground bunker. having a fortress over land (an immovable fortress) is a definite no no, this completely removes your tactical mobility from your personal survival equation. even in feudal times, sun-tzu thinks its way way better to be a small group riding on horses constantly moving in the woods (or even just on foot), than having a castle with very strong walls, because once those walls will give in (especially if you face a very determined well-prepared enemy), you may consider suicide if you have not given yourself any option to run (that underground escape tunnel might be improved if it were a network of interconnecting non-terminating (no dead-ends!) tunnels, of course secured by several doors (compartmentalized into several sections), each, leading to several escape hatches; if one exit is compromised, you still have hope in other exits). having a land fortress is like painting a bullseye on your back, a large very visible very secure safehouse technically invites everyone out there to ransack you, you are displaying strength, at a time of weakness ("there must be tons of goodies in there, i'm starving"). even in a zombie apocalypse, its the living that is your most dangerous enemy. my point: its way better to turn a sea-worthy ship into your fortress, a mobile fortress, a domicile you can maneuver anywhere, to be further modified and reinforced in the future to suit your needs and current situation (in the apocalypse, there's not much else to do, except to further secure your survival), and sail yourself out of anybody's reach, far out at sea. you should choose a ship that's big enough for your group's needs, as well as sufficient area for farming (because you need to think this is your new lifestyle now, until you will die, everywhere else the world is no longer livable; stockpiling on food is stupid, you need to make your own food, you need to maintain cows and pigs and chickens). in the worst-case scenario that some folks have resorted to piracy, and try to board your ship by force, then you should slowly acquire and install on that vessel long-range weapons to combat them, if you can develop from salvaged parts a powerful laser emitter that can punch a hole into a pirate ship (or inbound attack planes) at the horizon every one second, the better (the less your weapon relies on loading ammo, the better; heavily shield this primary weapon with a few feet of steel sheets, you're a sitting duck if it disappears).

[@bellatibay6784]

now that you're one of the only few living people left, you need to think in terms of "off-grid living" and of operating like a small country, with you as its one-man government (or the number of the people in your group), you need to maintain a small simple sustainable ecosystem for your food supply (plants sustain farm animals, animals sustain you, your shit sustains plants, etc.), and off-grid power sources for your machines and weapons (solar panels, savonius vawt's, etc.)

Triple redundancy for every function and triple triple redundancy for important functions (Like water purification, Food growth, power generation & distribution [Wind, Solar, geo thermal, hydro electric], etc.) A system of laws/ rules to help keep everyone in line - simple is best. Death penalty is a must, as you cannot risk ignorance or stupidity, or out-rite aggression to run free. Two strikes and you're out (The first mistake could be an accident, but there is no room for repetition of said mistakes). Multiple hidden escape hatches. A space for livestock (small animals like chickens and pigs - which help with food waste). Interior farms for food production. fully stocked medical centre with disease control protections. A lab for research and development. A small lake/ reservoir for growing fish/ aquaponics - to diversify food production. An incinerator for waste removal & heat production, and an alternative source of energy. A manufacturing space for production of essential goods. A 3D printer capable of making guns (and every-day items). A robotics lab capable of drone production. A space for oxygen production (algae culture) A repository of all human knowledge - or as much as you can gather in a single place. Digital is the only solution for this to be practical. But a few physical books are always good to have on hand. Artificial views and simulated air currents. A space dedicated to recreation. State-of-the-art sanitation & recycling spaces. Storage spaces for food, purified water, raw materials, etc. Living quarters for at least a couple dozen engineers, doctors, tradesmen, security & specialists (among others). You will need to know how to fix anything that breaks within the facility. probably about 100 people once their immediate family is included (Max 4/5 per family). Everyone must have the same features to prevent in-fighting or dominance. Space to grow the population. A communications space Armory. Proper seals between every space to prevent contamination if something enters the facility. Bows & Arrows, crossbows, swords, spears and shields are definite weapons to have when the ammunition runs out, unless you can make more. Think earthship - but mostly underground. People will always be the biggest threat. Well... this was fun. :)

Adding a hydroponic garden with artificial light underground might help to supplement the food reserves, and use of rabbits as a fresh supply of meat, as they take less space, breed quick and can be used to test if the air supply out side is contaminated with poison if necessary.

As seen in the show LOST the underground fort known as "The Hatch" would suffice. But if you want to go all the way, a small driveway leads over a small hill and into a blast door, set in concrete below ground level. This tunnel spirals around a large parking area, 6 or 8 stories deep, with a second blast door leading to luxurious spacial living areas complete with a self contained power supply and massive refrigeration/freezers for food storage. 20 foot thick reinforced exterior walls makes tunneling in impossible. Air filtration systems, waste disposal, bla, bla, bla...

ontop of tekknomon's bit, open air gardens mean that if its a zombie apocalypse , youd never know if birds might mutate aswell. and this means that your vulnerable from the air. a biodome wouldnt fix that ether, because most materials that are clear enough to allow light in wont block impacts over prolonged time. so thats out. an underground garden would be best. and whats the point of having that long tunnel to stave off radiation if it can get in the top much easier. besides, if it is a nuke, then that large pillar can be damaged and repairable even with the rock around it.

Can pass information between the 2 over radio. 4. Might help reduce being board & reduce possible social friction if you don't like, or have a problem with some people in your shelter you can transfer or visit the other shelter. 5. Dubbing of supplies. 6. Etcetera...

I would have a silo shaped tower about 50 km off the shore that is connected to the sea floor which lowers under water, which will have a tunnel that is connected to a bunker far underground on the mainland which will house an underground farm with an artificial sun. On the main base (silo shaped sea base mentioned at the start) there will be a solar panel at the top of it as well as 10, 2 by 2 metre poles with small solar panels on the top of them. The main base will house enough long lasting food such as cans to last 100 people several decades. The main base will be equipped with 2 library, 3 cinemas, 2 swimming pools, a gym, a research lab, a water purification plant.

Surprised a hydroponic farm wasn't discussed some even have a connecting fish farm. A hydroponic farm is where plants are grown without soil, nutrients is poured into water to let them grow, a fish farm helps because it gives the water the nitrogen and other stuff the plants can use to grow. So if your budget was really unlimited. The only thing you really need to worry about is power, and clean air and sustainable water supply.

nice however it lacking ventilation. can't live without air so a scrub system that would break down the air and reassemble it would help taken out the unwanted said pathogen or bio toxic! second is the garden there could be an underground plant system and dependent on electrical energy to provide light this would help reduce the dependent on the outside. a drone system on the roof would help extended eyes and ear. a small factory inside that could help you make stuff with raw material. physical knowledge storage like a library with a search function is good ... you know just incase google doesnt work anymore!!! internal farm... yes farm ... how could you live without bacon and egg... as well as Cheese ! and you also need a lab... since if you caught something new... you might wana have a lab for a chance to cure yourself . And most important ... dont forget soap and remember to take shower everyday !!!

The 1st thing in building your ultimate fortress is opsec, do not let anyone know about it except those that are going to be inside of it, otherwise when something happens everyone and their mother will be the 1st ones to show up at your doorstep asking for a free handout and a place to stay when they did nothing to get you to that point.

Food not a problem big stores are hit first so small convenient stores or gas stations and restaurants are the least likely to be hit last as well as bars and army depos in fact each city and large town like Ontario, La Grand, located in Oregon, Salt lake City, Utah ECT. and prisons and police/sheriff stations are your best bets for survival needs

[@clee8172]

Nice video, but you forgot to address the critical flaw with this plan. It's a fixed location. In a dooms day scenario, the most dangerous element are the other folks who also survived the initial disaster (and are now doing whatever they can to get to your resources). The best plan/location would be moving platform out at sea. Large enough to grow your own food/livestock, and enough surface area for solar/wind generators. If the main fuel source was nuclear, you would have enough fuel to last many lifetimes. Being in the ocean, you can desalinate or collect rain water, also moving away from inclement weather. Recycling of waste for fertilizer or fuel/heat. Lower level decks would have storage for other nonperishable raw materials (for repairs, machines, etc.), Machineshop, chem lab, living quarters.

Like the design but with all the electronics you listed your going to need a lot more solar panels and larger rain water collector, id suggest a bore or well you could pump water out of deep below the ground. As well as removing the second pillar, it draws a lot attention which will happen no matter what if someone happen to come across it. But the over all designs is fantastic the curved wall and multiple doors in the tunnel are functional designs. And you could easily survive two or three people in that much space, more if you cut down on nonessential.
