Lol. It's obvious that some active duty soldiers (in professional armies) would desert, some would probably not. What would start happening would probably be that service personell (including police officers) would bring their families and friends to safer-than-average-"safe zones". National guard units (and international counterparts) would probably shine because of the locality. In my country of origin, many former active-duty soldiers join national security forces reserves. Weapons and equipment for these units exist close-by, and you'd probably start seeing a response a few hours after such an order has been received. People (preppers) seem to completely disregard human capability for selflessness in military contexts. It's as ridiculous as that "Max Brooks" World War Z's episode "Battle of jonkers" where soldiers suddenly panics, you know, stress training is an integral part of modern day training. Human wave tactics stopped being effective a long time ago you know, and not just because of "shock and awe". In my very brief time in the army, we learned to shoot from a prone position with enough accuracy to hit three consecutive shots within approximately a nickel (from 50m) within a few hours of practice and shooting with iirc 3cm dispersion from 100m (well within "head" territory). So overrunning won't happen in that regard, even if transmission is airborne. At the same time soldiers are people, and most wouldn't abide by totalitarian measures (that are too extreme), and would most likely simply not enforce it. Quite the opposite, there are incentive for some to stay and protect their country/home through their service, seriously, how do you think wars have been thought throughout the years? There's always been risk, and hurt to family and friends during wartime. Thinking that everyone would so quickly desert is just misleading. And even in those cases, plenty (if not almost everyone) would join up with local national security forces on site anyway (where applicable). P.S. Like Serrates says, how do you think militaries work? Seriously guys? You think the training and uniform makes you a mindless drone with no issues at all with killing fellow citizens on a whim? . And this is why general conscription isn't the worst idea in the world, since people actually get an insight into reality.

Sooo go around the horde! Lure it away with gunfire, then run around etc. There are multiple ways to deal with it, most doesn't involve killing them off though (unless you have an absurd amount of ammo. Also, the backpacks work through weight reduction, big hiking bag has 80% weight reduction I think, so a full big hiking bag would still weigh 4 in your main inventory .

You are in for a ride Kristopher .

I having two water collectors level 2 as well, however I haven't found any trowel yet so that might prove to be a challenge. However WP has been abundant in non-perishable food so far, and I've only scratched the surface so I'm kind of confident I still have at least two months worth of food in the very close proximity. Not sure concerning cutting wood - carpentry, but I'm beginning to think so. Read a lvl 4 carpentry book, cut down some trees and has gotten real crap loads of experience.

As you might have noticed, zombies climb fences so no. You want walls and you want your walls to have spacing from eventual fences so zombies don't glitch through your walls. As for Mccoys it's not necessary if you have found an axe, you might want to scavenge close by warehouses for nails, you'll go through them by the hundreds if you make a perimeter wall around your safehouse.

Mccoy logging should be a priority if you're in Muldraugh, almost 100% chance of finding one or multiple axes in there, and nails. Everything you need to get your stronghold going. Definately worth the risk and trip! I made my first real survival playthrough now, started in WP and it was a real pain because of the higher zombie density downtown and the small amount of warehouses etc. Took me a good two weeks of searching before I found an axe. Which I did find in a house iirc, stroke of fortune that one. Then I found another axe in a zombie, I was shocked haha. Got my stronghold up running strong now with soon to be triple layer defences, over 70 units of food, hundreds of rounds to the pistol and 80 for my shotgun. Life's good . Anyway, it was mentioned that second story floor is bugged in v23? How so? I was kind of looking forward towards building observation towers and the like :S.

Nope. Does not.
