Top Beginner Base Locations!

[@VileStorms]

Thanks for watching everyone, i hope you enjoyed!

Hi! I just want to make another recomendation for everyone here. I want to recomend another location: The muldraugh rich zone (idk how to say it correctly). This place consists of a large chunck of houses (all of wich are barricated with fences the tall ones). The houses can be looted for some basic stuff but with some basic carpentry you can build a a nice lil gated comunity if you want. The pros: you are in muldraugh so looting sesions are not that long, the houses have some decent stuff to get you started and you might find some cars there (i found a dash rancher). Cons: it will have a bunch of zombies in the houses, there is no crazy loot and if you dont clean the zone right, zombies are going to wreck the base. Please excuse my English Lol

[@VileStorms]

Yeah muldraugh can be a really great place for the intermediate+ players. Bigger town leads to better looting opportunities!

Lol instantly noticed the first one its in Riverside. I used it too. When I went to this town to explore and loot. I parked a car in front of the entry gate instantly to block it. Only had to deal with slow crawlers now and then. I then build 5 composters (cheese) to block it completely. Zeds won't attack then and can't pass them (they will only if you "replace" an existing one. So build them and never move them from there on). Not even crawlers. But this is up to you.

I have another base location: Dixie gas station. It has a lake nearby for fishing. I build a base on the water via stairs. First building on 2nd floor. Once above lake build stairs downwards and tiles on the lake. Then dismantle the initual stairs and entry only via sheet ropes. So basically the base is surrounded by water and I can only enter it via sheet ropes. 100% safe even with helicopter event. You can fish and stuff. I used 2 entries on opposite sides just to be safe if zeds attack one sheet rope. Love it

[@VileStorms]

Absolutely!

Heres another area I found on my first duo multiplayer world, The North Farm in Muldraugh, Its close enough to muldraugh for a looting but far enough for not to many zombies following you home, and its not to deep in the forest. Its a 2 story house with a tool shed and a barn (With nothing in it). I haven't seen any videos about this base area.

[@VileStorms]

I believe i may have covered it in a previous video, is that the farm with a well and like a fence to the south?

[@thepumpkinfarmer]

No I don’t think it has a well. it’s the one that you take a right turn into a dirt road just as your are leaving muldraugh to go to West Point, On ProjectZomboid map it’s called North Farm. Idk if you have a made a video on it but but who knows

[@yayie2235]

Muldraugh Southern Gas Station⛽ near the Diner. - The rooftop of the gas station is spacious enough to build a base🏚 on top of it as well as farm. - The position of the gas pump are much more convenient than the other gas station further up north near the hotel. Furthermore, the northern gas station is quite cramped and full of zombies. Depending on your sandbox settings, southern gas station is often less zombie count. - With lots of nails and planks, you can build a floor on the grass that borders the gas station and the main road to prevent plants/tree grows on them. This will give more space for your vehicles and trailers if you are car/wrecks collector 🚙🚚.

[@VileStorms]

Gas stations often make the best bases in project zomboid haha

[@daltonsmotovids]

The relay station is a personal favorite of mine

[@VileStorms]

Yeah i really enjoy it also

[@boostman5792]

Rosewood in general is beginner friendly. Gotta base up at the fire station.

[@jimi3138]

solid video

[@VileStorms]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed

[@VenomVsTRex]

Rosewood Firestation is a classic pick - almost cliche, so I understand why you didn't mention it. Who the heck hasn't? Ben's Cabin is cute and cozy, but I prefer the McMansion on the other side of the pond that has the tall metal fence around it - very easy to secure, and better space and accessibility. The north east of Muldraugh has an "Isolated House" that has tall wood fences around it, surrounded by woods and fairly separated from the town yet still close enough for loot runs.

[@VileStorms]

Yeah the three mansions are really good, until winter comes; Then they become a pain in the butt to heat lol. Isn't the Isolated house, baldy and kate's house? Or is that a different one? (I always get the two confused)

[@VenomVsTRex]

I'm actually not sure if it's the same one or not.

[@ScreamingSturmovik]

i don't know if many of these places are really "beginner friendly" as they will take a lot of work to get up and running (depending on what you're going for) that house with the garden plots looks really nice but you will spend most of your time clearing zombies BUT to the south east there are 2 big houses in the middle of the trees and there will likely not be many and if there is on the first day and you clear them they probably wont fill back in of course the Rosewood fire station is always stated and in my experience it's gated area always has a horde or two Cabin is good if you're going "survivalist" in the woods another ok place is north west of Rosewood there are 2 house that almost never have zombies around and further north there is a warehouse full of produce, there is another even nicer house north-east but again almost always has MASSIVE horde nearby

[@VileStorms]

I chose the locations with the idea of helping push beginners into learning more methods. Like the gated community in rosewood for example will help teach players on managing larger groups. Other places help teach building techniques like bens cabin.

[@ScreamingSturmovik]

@@VileStorms makes sense, but imo that's kinda mid tier stuff, newbies need something quick to jump off of and that's why Ben's cabin is pretty good (as long as they can get there) if they don't have tools thier SOL

[@amry_the_noob9846]

my usual go to base is rosewood fire department

[@alexshirzad5343]

How can i make a sledge hammer or where can I find one?

[@VileStorms]

You can occasionally find them in warehouses, you cant craft them at the current moment

[@benettybrito]

team crowbar!

[@VileStorms]

Haha you know it!

[@andcch4717]

im so new ive never had a base.

[@whoknows8223]

In the very beginning it is overrated. Even when water is shut down you will have enough water in the sinks left while you explore and loot around. A good car (i like police cars most for zombie kiting and molotov mass destruction) is way more important. Plus you can easily escape/deal with the helicopter by just driving around. First goal is always level carpentry by watching tv/reading the skill books and level skills to hotwire cars because thats a real gamechangee imo Btw I'm new too. 2 weeks in

[@VileStorms]

Eventually you'll learn enough to where you will survive for enough time where you will decide to set up a main base. As the other commenter said the main focus should be working on getting your carpentery skill up to a point where you can fortify and build up your base. Finding a car is also really important as it opens up the map quite a bit for exploring and looting places quicker

[@porkfang]

I've been to the 2 trailers. Not to bad.....
