TheWraithPlayer Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I have been reading as all the updates on metalworking come in, eagerly awaiting the update that brings them. But that leaves something else that needs to be added in my opinion, and that is masonry. This would include the following things: Mason profession Masonry skills and perks Brick floors, walls, and fences Rock walls, fences, and floors Flagstone flooring Various masonry tools/weapons I personally think that masonry would expand the possibilities of project zomboid, allowing you to make nearly completely zombie proof structures. I would like to hear what you other apocalyptic survivors out there think. thanks for reading! Bughunter66, Keshash, MyTJ and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm completely safe in my house (where I can grow vegetables, trap meat, and gather water) why would I ever leave?

Not how you learned how to build a nearly impenetrable fortress with self sustaining greenhouses and butcher shop. I whole heartedly agree that masonry would be fantastic, but there needs to be just as many drawbacks with it as well. grammarsalad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My idea to solve that is to put that in after npcs, so that way there would be somebody there to destroy part of it when they raid your base. destruction options would be things such as bombs, or bulldozers (once cars get in). Another thing is the earthquakes I mentioned in an earlier post. they wouldn't be strong enough to break the wall (unless it was very crappy) but it would crack and weaken it enough to make it able to be knocked over with enough zombies. again, thanks for the input, I hadn't quite thought of that.

Spracky Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Tornadoes and even slightly powerful earthquakes are extremely rare in Kentucky to my knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyTJ Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Love the idea of masonry... got a lot of stones to use and let's face it... I won't do crude hammer while I have tons of regular ones (4 full crates with organized). Although I'm not certain that a stone wall (stone + mortar) would be totaly indestructible. I would probably be sturdier then a wood wall, but zombies could dislodge stones slowly but surely... and at some point it would lose enough structural integrity and colapse. Now that would be cool for it to colapse on the zombies and crush them... but it's an entirely different thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I had thought of this, and how sturdy said wall is would depend on your masonry skill level and what you used for the wall, like if you used mortar or just mud, or stone or bricks, for example.
