EcksTen Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I had a quick look but couldn't see this asked before, please point me in the right direction if it has been discussed at length. Looking at the map from BlindCoder there is a place in Muldraugh that is noted for being a good building agreed by many to be the best place to set up your safehouse, I was just wondering if there is equally a spot in WestPoint that people agree is a good place to set up a safehouse?

Jennifer Lawrence Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 The picnic area is the best for me. The building is huge, a lot of rooms, almost no zombies in the area... http://pzmap.crash-override.net/#0.6365563734408953,0.12703196897163696,21.398641075814393 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plekpot Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Twiggy's seems better to me. It's more dangerous and there are more zombies but you have a lot of storing space and two fridges. You are close to the best parts of town, but you will have to go a (relatively) long way to get to the houses. Fishing is also an option there. I would consider this for the more advanced Zomboid players. http://pzmap.crash-override.net/#0.6711439395974877,0.11532903015594403,205.3333333333334 Zombiepupz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NormalBates Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I like Twiggy's. Right next to the gunshop, close but not too close to the centre and an ideal place to set up, if you intend to go to the mall later on.http://pzmap.crash-override.net/#0.6729196297397612,0.11599163493611848,25.572841745945865 plekpot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could easily live there, but you woudln't be able to do much construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomWarlock Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 It's far away from just about everything, but there's a shooting range that was packed when I was there, and tons of berry bushes. I went there from Muldraugh just about as soon as I spawned. What's wrong with me? http://pzmap.crash-override.net/#0.8215063441655129,0.102391655709682,410.6666666666668 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtrahan12 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I like to set up in a place that is semi-dangerous. It adds more challenge to the game, because migration is of ATM. plekpot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajin Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 There's a stretch of housing with a tall fence behind it that I usually like to go whenever I want to build a serious base. It's near the center of town and the tall fencing provides ample natural borders to expand on when I want to build a protective wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcksTen Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Lot's of interesting ideas here and also nice to see people's reasoning for the places they chose.I was looking more from a centralised perspective, something that has good security, close enough to loot the shops and the houses too and has opportunity to minimise on resources used (e.g. A pre-existing wall to build up to). I went to Twiggy's but I didn't like the layout, it does seem close to the shops and good for that Mall run, but there's no bed! (Yes, I know it's just cosmetic because you can sleep on chairs, but I like the idea of my character sleeping in a bed). Also I couldn't find the second fridge - not that this makes any difference as after the power goes out it becomes moot. Kajin, are you talking about this row of houses? - http://pzmap.crash-override.net/#0.6406887885453215,0.10434870739956738,87.14228238844818 That's an interesting spot, might give it a try for a second base. Does anyone know if there is a finite amount of nails in the game? Or if the devs intend to make it finite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the North Warehouse in Muldraugh I found about 3-4 boxes (100 per box) and the same amount when I broke all the crates with the sledgehammer.

DICE033 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 School is where I ended up. Plenty of interior doors to break down and cut out sections of the school. Plenty of reading materials, lots of food until the power goes out, lots of water when the power goes out. Roof is easily accessible and the river is only 2 blocks away. Haven't had a stray zombie in a while there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoyd Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 As for me, i like this nice blue house: http://pzmap.crash-override.net/#0.6324825484325671,0.08854528761630252,129.94278433679202Pretty house, not many zombies around, close to water, with a good place for fishing not far. What else do you need when the world dies? School is near, with a lot of books.I usually build looong walls connecting the house with the shed and the neighbour house.The only problem in the beginning is to find an axe, because the stores are far from here. Sometimes i'm lucky enough to find one in a corpse.. The other way is to take a trip by the seaside, passing by the gun shop, to the storage lots.

(You don't get nails from destroying them, but the stuff left inside)Yes, you are certain to find a sledgehammer there. You just need one in your main inventory and you can click: Destroy crate (furniture). You cant access about 60% of the crates there since they are stacked too high. The stuff that's inside drops on the floor. It will take a while, but you can also opt to just go to McCoy Logging if you want faster acces.

WTFBrutus Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I think the best safe house is right in the middle of town. I like the two story office building next to the big church. There's a balcony that's good for farming, several bathrooms to at least get you a few days more of water after it shuts off, and plenty of windows to board up to level your carpentry. Honestly, at this point in the game's development, a house that would be "safe" in real life (like the picnic area or the ones at the edge of town) is pretty much the worst place to build, because you won't have anything to do once it's built.

Dahugo Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 If you want to build a crafted safehouse, this is a nice spot (http://pzmap.crash-override.net/#0.6270698299910458,0.08305693486254942,360.3656307129799). Of course it is relatively far away from the inner city, but you have a low amount of zombies there and fishing is an opportunity. I liked it to build my own house out there, although it got boring after a while, since I had killed all zombies within this area. So if you want to live in the "wilderness", I would recomment it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hittogamin Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 i use this,where we can use the wood walls on one side near road already exist where the zombies can't destroy(till now never have this problem..) http://pzmap.crash-override.net/#0.625474343309931,0.10017440490960178,275.0628715134889 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApolloDiaspora Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 My personal favourite: http://pzmap.crash-override.net/#0.6341125784089521,0.08941769873068321,113.32177360774637 Build walls between the houses (and the shed), barricade all the ground floor windows, then hang sheet ropes out the second story windows. Bam. Fortress. Located near a bunch of spots to loot, and trees to boot. Best thing, however, is the parking lot/boat house to the north. It's a perfect landmark when walking up and down the river; You can get to Gigamart, etc and back in less than a day without getting lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobbs Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Ive seen several people try and set up at Giga mart, none were successful. I would honestly stick with a farm house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
