Spawned in Louisville here today for some extra challenge, now two days in I have secured the rich mansions and am now setting up my base of operations here.
166 kills, 2 days... Welcome to Louisville

Never actually have been to this place, so much cool architecture in this little area.
Pros:
The fountain in the center provides fishing and infinite water
Lots of loot and the best decor
Not to many zombies, but still enough to provide challenge
Cons:
Located around a big residential area
Several entrances that need to be blocked off

Overall I think this is an amazing place to base in, and it has some of the most beautiful scenery in the game.

# calm geode uhhh maybe I will... <:drunk:721361533271146537>

I did that in a save where I was just messing around and firing a double barrel shotty downtown near where the strip club is and mowing down over a thousand zombies that slowly surrounded me well into the morning of next day was legit one of the most fun experiences I had in Zomboid

#

Whatโ€™s your plan to lock the place? Are you going to build in the park or all the residential area?

#

Nice to know that this fountain can be used as a normal river

Let me know if the mansion is good area cuz never used that as base

I love the buildings in there, the houses are really cool and I find the attic extremely cozy

Update, we are now around 4 days in and the area around here is clear, all the carpentry books so we are currently leveling to level 7 to make gates, walls and and other stuff

I'll stick with my current drip for now tho

Didn't know this place existed! Seems a bit more effort to fully close it off (compared to the other rich mansion quarter down south) but you do have an infinite water source (although in B42 I think they were gonna nerf these), got a lot of real estate for a nice base

wheat pecan
calm geode
#

Also these mansions have way more drip than than the 3 gated ones, I mean it has some of the rarest furniture pieces here and tons of beautiful artwork

#

Iโ€™ll put in a bunch of screenshots of the cool stuff in these areas

fading charm
#

Is this the area you mean with the "3 gated ones"? In my current run I've set up base in the red brick house, and fenced it off to include the blue and white house (so far). I definitely am getting a bit of a space issue, it's not a big house I realise ๐Ÿ˜… . Now that I know of this area though, I might try basing there once B42 comes out

Constant fighting

Died in a last stand for a new gun store

calm geode
#

oh no no, thought you meant somewhere else, where is that exactly

#

heres the whole rich area, im only walling the red section tho

rich_homes.png
#

found it

fading charm
#

If you were to follow that road southwards you'd practically end up at it, it's right next to the Central Park, near the bottom of it. It's a big area full of rich houses too but with a park in the middle (no water source unfortunately)

calm geode
#

yeah its also alot further out from town then my base

fading charm
#

tbf that are in the light blue isn't too bad either, seems even easier to fence off

calm geode
fading charm
#

aren't you entirely surrounded by a ton of zombies though? Cause it is quite literally in the middle of town. I know I had a lot of trouble clearing my immediate area xd

calm geode
#

i mean yeah theres alot of zombies, but in the long term it will be worth it imo

#

i just take a couple hordes a day inebtween the carpentry shows

#

i have around 200 kills with one nightstick and its only at half durability so far so I'll be fine

#

I have 4 nightsticks

#

your area looks nice but its much bigger so keeping it from beign attacked by zeds seems like a much bigger job,

fading charm
#

that is if you fence off the entire neighbourhood, I only fenced off the closest area, so a wall south, west and east that includes the blue house and the white one

#

don't have a better ss at the moment but basically the area that you see is what I fenced off, it's very doable (also helps that I put respawn off but to compensate upped total population to 2x)

20240120133958_1.jpg
calm geode
#

also its not that hard to wall this area off\

#

orange is where walls would go

#

i think id make the circle area cobined with the house to maek it easier

fading charm
#

yeah not too bad, the area in the east is the longest to wall off

calm geode
#

the small houes that is

fading charm
#

also don't forget about that one tile between the house in the south and the fence

calm geode
#

well good thing there is enough planks around here

calm geode
#

ah i see

fading charm
#

this little spot yeah

image.png
calm geode
#

heres what i think i'll do to that circled area

#

use the house there to make my life easier

#

the gate will also take up a decent amount of space on all these roads so it should be to hard,

#

currently living in this home here

#

i might have to get more builds plus to repair the windows of the homes

#

that mod extension has those tiles i believe

fading charm
#

man, I hate broken windows. I think I restarted sometimes purely because the windows of the house I now live in were broken in that game

calm geode
#

well i just use mods to build me a new one

#

I can fix up the couple windows that were broke, no biggie

Tee heee

In fact all of the individual artwork will eventually make its way to my collection, along with a few more things from the mueseum

wheat pecan
#

Priceless statue time?

calm geode
#

Toilet statue is priceless, also I would like the other vangoughs

wheat pecan
#

I like plumbing that toilet and using it drunk

calm geode
#

Now I gotta see if the lifestyle hobbies mod allows me to play the piano, normal and the grand

#

I wouldnโ€™t be surprised if I could play the normal but I would be surprised if I could play the grand

wheat pecan
#

I would think/hope you could

There is about 200 more below

That's a graveyard though

I wanted to go downtown for some VHS tapes but I also wanted to clear the road I was using for easy access in future and ended up attracting a horde of hundreds lol, still didn't get to the VHS store ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

A word of advice, loot college campus. Found 2 machetes and 4 boxes of shells as well as the tried and true double barrel shotgun

fading charm
#

man, you'd love to see the military truck that I have, 800 storage capacity and it's literally full with guns and ammo, it's pretty insane

#

also got a few machetes and I found 4! katanas in the Mall due to a special zombie from AuthenticZ, I'm set for life really

calm geode
#

He's back!

#

Been grinding for a few days, watching shows and disassembling crappy row houses nearby.

#

Now his compund can begin

#

If you dont know, the cook show on day 9 is the last show to air on Life and Living. He now feels even more lonely in this world as he realizes the tv will never broadcast again...

Turned it to paws tv and he was reminded of his childhood... those were the days...

This room will eventually be my music/fun room, needs a bit of work

Tomorrow I will play a bit more and maybe get progress done on the walls, although I may need some more planks

Good thing theres alot of trash row houses all around me

calm geode
calm geode
#

Ah hes back mates

#

we've got one of the gates done, two more to go

calm geode
#

I finished off the small openings and 1 more gate

#

only one to go, may take a few days but

#

it shall be worth it

calm geode
#

ITS DONE

#

in three days i built my entire compound

#

I'll repair a few windows around my neighbor hood but I now have a fully walled off base

#

Hmmm... Found this on my ham radio, this may have been one of those secret government lines.

#

Here's my current stats

hearty steeple
#

298 kills after 13 days in LV? How?

#

Also: Unemployed, desensitized and less than 500 kills? Turned the mod down to ez? ^^

#

Nice work though. Looks like you secured a very decent spot!

calm geode
#

i usually just set the mod inbetween 100-200 kills

calm geode
#

I have only ever used a single nightstick and a pipe wrench

#

just refuses to break

hearty steeple
#

Understandable tbh. I've set mine to trigger between 2000-5000 kills to keep things somewhat difficult. It's a fairly powerful trait after all. But I totally understand your pov tbh.

calm geode
hearty steeple
calm geode
#

then i looted the area

#

got to level 7 carpentry and built my base

hearty steeple
#

Yeah you don't need to look for trouble in that city. Trouble will find you at some point in there anyway ๐Ÿ˜„

calm geode
#

I usually just go up to groups slowly, making sure i look down the street, i like crouching then i take them out slowly and clear out areas without making noise

#

I turn off respawns for realism

#

but I aint in the center of the city either

hearty steeple
#

I do the same. But with 3x inital zed count ๐Ÿ˜›

calm geode
#

Yeah I enjoy fighting zombies, but to many makes the game feel like its just kill, KILL, KILL

#

I like making cool bases and doing heists and stuff

hearty steeple
#

Respawns make no sense, but I still want a lot of zeds around. It's hard AF in the beginning but I have around 150 map mods as well. Some of them miitary installations. Guns and ammo are never an issue and to keep things challenging after getting guns I need a high pop.

calm geode
#

but yk

#

sometimes i do raven creek

#

or westpoint expansion

#

the real popular ones

#

Decorating in my eyes in the most important part

#

I mean

hearty steeple
#

I meant "cars" not "parts" btw

calm geode
#

I'm the type to use a spoon to eat canned soup for the speed bonus

#

I grow all types of vegtebals from the fruit tree mod and more crops to just for the variety

#

I use glasses to pour wine and put plates out on my table

#

I'm a certified roleplayer

hearty steeple
# calm geode Decorating in my eyes in the most important part

I can tell from your screenshots tbh. Your place looks really "lived in". I've always just built more boxes and kept things in them. Not really placing anything. I've started placing things in my current game though, but I'm still not that good at it.

calm geode
#

and eventually i will grab the statue of our lord and savior spiffo

#

it shall be put in the front lawn

#

i'm like a 30 minutes drive from it

hearty steeple
calm geode
#

One of the key things to do i just to put stuff where a human would normally put it, leave papers on desks, have medicine on the counter, have a cutting board and knife ready next to eachother. Small things like that

hearty steeple
#

Kinda happy with one room on my current save. The car restoration shop. It still needs more work though. But a mannequin in mechanic gear, a few placed car parts and lots of placed tools.

Not gonna hijack your thread with my screenshots though.

20240131202523_1.jpg
calm geode
#

if you do end up placing lots of stuff (in any base), you will end up having collected random stuff like plates, tooth brushes, perfume and basically every item you could think of really

hearty steeple
calm geode
#

I grab instruments when i find em because they look cool and i also have the lifestyle hobbies mod so I can play them

#

The small stuff always matters most when decorating

hearty steeple
#

Absolutely

calm geode
#

also I love wall decor and plants

hearty steeple
#

Plants are so underrated among PZ players. Even the ones that decorate.

calm geode
#

paintings, even the generic ones will spruce up a wall, torn posters and tag boards in offices and stuff

calm geode
#

I wish bonsai trees were more common

#

one time I built a whole 2 greenhouses, one with farm and the other with potted plants

hearty steeple
#

Nice!

#

I just need to embrace my inner RP geek. I have over 3500 hours in GTA V RP. I just never treated PZ like that. I always just played it on a technical level, trying to use the game mechanics to my advantage, keeping perfomance at max etc (Placing items rather than putting them in boxes can REALLY slow down the game when you near the placed items)

calm geode
#

I use storage too

#

I only really put out items to decorate and store the bulk in shelving

hearty steeple
#

It should be fine in a single player game tbh. It can absolutely be a problem in MP if you got 20 players placing items all over the place.

calm geode
#

well I don't have any people to ever play with so i've always just done single player

hearty steeple
#

Only times I've struggled is when I've dropped 3000 screws or planks on the floor. That many items will slow things down.

calm geode
#

but decorative items never harmed the game

hearty steeple
#

You'll struggle to place 3000 decorative or RP items in a base.

calm geode
#

you have no need for that much items

#

placed down

#

usually ends up making the base look cramped and crowded if you have to much

hearty steeple
#

There's no real need to limit yourself. The number of knives, forks, plates, glasses and toothbrushes you'll place is gonna be limited. It's not gonna add up to that many.

calm geode
#

yep

#

ik

#

i just try to never drop alot of planks on the floor

hearty steeple
#

Me too. It just happens some times. When I go chopping trees I'll fill up a whole semi trailer and when you saw them into planks most of them end up on the floor. I usually put them back in the trailer afterwards which fixes the lag problem but I've spent two full ingame days (+sleep) putting planks back in the trailer though.

#

F6 letsgo!

calm geode
#

one time i built a base from scratch in a muldraugh storage lot and turned all three into a huge 2 story base, tried moving all the loot but it took 5 days to move the loot across town and another 2 days to get it all inside and sorted

#

instruments are heavy

#

so are tools

hearty steeple
calm geode
#

i started and based up in the house enxt to the medical clinic

#

and then

#

lemme get a picture here

#

moved to this place here

#

I don't have screenshots of the base itself but it was the whole storage place combined, with all the walls inside the bottom floor knocked out to make a garage

#

and the top floor had several rooms and stuff

hearty steeple
#

Nice spot! You must've had huge plans since you moved away from that huge and easily fortified neighborhood ๐Ÿ˜„

calm geode
#

yeah well this place was about the same and only has one entrance

#

it was a cool place

#

the neighboorhood is cool and all but I have spawned there so many times its rather stale

#

spent 5 days gathering the wood for the base and 4 days making it

hearty steeple
#

Just build gates/walls at these 4 little spots and you got more space than you'll know what to with. But the lot you chose has more potential for building what you want the way you want it.

md1.jpg
calm geode
#

plus side is that there was a gas station right above it and i did make a gravel road to that

calm geode
hearty steeple
#

I get that. I'm the same tbh. I think I've based up there at least 5 separate times.

calm geode
#

My top base locations besides the ones in here would be the one i made at Phallas Lake and the one at i made at raven creek

hearty steeple
#

Last time I based up there I burned it down by accident though. That was "fun". I've been more careful playing with fire since that ๐Ÿ˜„

calm geode
#

turned the rural supply store here into a base with a medical room, armory, garage, bedroom, laundry room, storage room, bar, and a living room with every skill book and a fireplace

hearty steeple
#

Nice spot. Flat roofed buildings are always good for expansion

calm geode
#

The raven creek base i made at this factory here

Screenshot_2024-02-03_174212.png Screenshot_2024-02-03_174219.png
hearty steeple
#

That's huge!

#

Lots of room for activities

calm geode
#

took the main factory building and made it have 2 full stories and I sorted all the crates into the walls and stuff

#

gated it off, built a well and turned part of the lot into a farmn

hearty steeple
#

Pretty decent entrance as well (I try to make sure my bases are semi truck friendly)

calm geode
#

btw the two white warehouses coutn as gas station so there is tons of ciggarettes, candy, mechanics skill books, maps, and gas cans

#

I used the mechanics skill books as fuel in my antique ovens for 7 months

#

I drove paritally but walked most of this just to get that antique oven

#

nice thing about that muldraugh base to is that the house across the street had a antique oven

#

they were both fun experiences

hearty steeple
calm geode
hearty steeple
#

I've always wanted to do something with the drive in theater tbh. I just never quite liked the entrance. Not semi truck friendly

calm geode
#

seems cool but idk how fun it would actually be to do anything there, all there is really is just the fence

hearty steeple
hearty steeple
#

And room for activities.

calm geode
hearty steeple
calm geode
#

thats right

#

i usually only remember the one on kingsmouth lol

hearty steeple
#

Yeah, I only played that map once.

#

Only for a few ingame days too. I wandered over to the hotel and was quickly overrun ๐Ÿ˜„

calm geode
#

yeah dont go to the hotel

hearty steeple
#

Learned that the hard way!

calm geode
#

there are on normal settings 3000 zeds there

#

had to correct myself

#

not 300

hearty steeple
#

oof, yeah

calm geode
#

but raiding the military base (the largest armory ever in vanilla zomboid) will give you enough ammo to gun down the place

#

If you are brave enough

hearty steeple
#

It's a nice map tbh. I should revisit it.

calm geode
#

Gigantic armory

hearty steeple
#

๐Ÿ˜ฎ

calm geode
#

there is also 6 watch towers to loot

hearty steeple
#

That whole area looks like it's easy to fortify as well. One entrance to block off. But I suppose it'll take time anyway. You're probably locking yourself in there with as many zeds as there are outside the fence.

calm geode
hearty steeple
#

In interesting.

#

I might actually start my next game in there just for a change of scenery.

#

Or download the map addon that adds kingsmouth to the main map and spawn there.

calm geode
#

Once every zed on the island has diedโ€ฆ you can take a boat to the mainland and start your adventure there

hearty steeple
#

Find a police car early on, set of the sirens in the hotel parking lot, run away and come back with guns and ammo a few days later ๐Ÿ˜„

calm geode
hearty steeple
calm geode
#

You almost always spawn on the otherside of town

#

If I were you

#

Since there arenโ€™t many cars on the island

#

Iโ€™d just not look into the windows of the place to not spawn them in

#

Because then they canโ€™t migrate out of the cel before the mass killing

#

It will lag your game because they will spill out of the building for days

#

Turn bloodiness down lol (recommended)

hearty steeple
calm geode
hearty steeple
calm geode
#

Or car with a siren for that matter

hearty steeple
#

I don't do half-measures. If I'm gonna be killing zeds, I'm gonna kill all of them. The hotel is clearly the main challenge on that island.

hearty steeple
#

Anyway, it's time to go to bed here. We probably spammed down your building update. Repost that latest update for the ones that aren't interested in this convo and cba to scroll up! ๐Ÿ˜„

Ok so after I got the compound finished, I decided to organize my armory. Brought in a table and put out a few of my weapons

quaint hull
#

Nice mann

calm geode
#

New stories coming soonโ€ฆ

calm geode
#

Ello chaps. I'm back from my break

#

Needed a chance for zomboid to feel new again

#

Since last time I finished my compound, I decided to venture out into the city for the first time and boy... theres alot of loot out there.

#

I decided to head up to some shops up the road so i hiked along.

#

As I was walking I passed a survivor home, sadly no katana but theres a ton of other stuff there, which I will have to bring back at some point. Heres a screenshot of my armory now

#

Also, I found a survivor vehicle, so I loaded it up with some gas and now I have a near mint truck

calm geode
#

I finally cleaned up my pile of stuff

calm geode
#

Gotta get more screenshots of today's progress

calm geode
#

Today I went South and looted through these garages here, and I found at least 8 generators

#

Also I'm working down towards the Gas Station

I found waldo!

#

Looted further south and found a few more survivor homes, this time i got lucky and found a sledge!

calm geode
#

I have a plan to get more construction materials and tools for my base. It will be risky but I think it will be worth it if i can pull it off.

#

I leave early in the morning following the road and head to some warehosues

calm geode
#

got there but the horde nearly got me

#

finally i can build my garage! hopfully this is enough paint

#

also i chopped down a few trees and made a farm

#

planted some corn and cabbage for now

calm geode
#

Working on getting more logs for my garage today

calm geode
#

Got some more progress made, and after 3 years of playing this game... I found it... the KATANA!

Got that good drinks from the store, and found a ghostbuster suit

#

Power just went out, 1 month 3 days in.

calm geode
#

the new garage is looking good too

#

I'll soon be putting all my tools and stuff in here

#

Imma be grinding metalworking

calm geode
#

Spent a few days grinding metalworking, now i'm at level 6 and the only thing stopping me from going further is the metalworking 4 book

#

which i dont have currently

hearty steeple
#

Also the baseball bat factory across the street which is nice if you like long blunt and looking at your skills I reckon you do.

calm geode
calm geode
hearty steeple
#

The bats are just a bonus. The tapes and books are the main prize!

calm geode
#

might need to go look for metal working 4 tho

hearty steeple
#

Good stuff. But missing the metalworking book, so maybe a bookstore will have that one for ya.

calm geode
#

these mansions are really cool and it almost feels like a modded map

hearty steeple
#

Sounds like we prio a lot of the same things tbh. Get them skill books and grind skills. Kills are just a way to achieve that ๐Ÿ˜„

#

I honestly haven't spent much time in that area of LV. Might have to give it a go. I've only spawned in there once and spawned in an apartment next to the baseball bat factory. Luckiest LV spawn ever. I always just stuck to the main roads to grind kills and never really ventured into the suburbs.

calm geode
#

this area of the suburbs is where the main rich homes are

#

theres like a perfect base across the street from my home

hearty steeple
#

I think you gotta refresh the maps page ^^

calm geode
#

weird

#

oen sec

hearty steeple
#

It does that some times. Just gets stuck on one location.

calm geode
#

heres the hosue

#

ive added gates to all the entrances of this neighborhood where i live

hearty steeple
#

Nice one. Never been in there at all. I've been very close, but not in there.

calm geode
hearty steeple
#

Aye, saw the earlier shots. Solid base building!

calm geode
#

the fountain in this little mansion courts is a infinite water source too

hearty steeple
#

A lot to secure, but you'll have one helluva a base when you do!

calm geode
#

and watching the tv broadcasts with books got me most of my carpentry xp

hearty steeple
calm geode
#

good spot

hearty steeple
#

Lots of area and most of it secured already.

calm geode
#

just up north is the major LSU

#

always wanted to go, never been, heard theres a ton of zombies up there

hearty steeple
#

I like collecting cars so I just targeted the biggest parking lot I could find and the horsetrack itself to collect more ๐Ÿ˜„

#

I never entered the big mall up there, but I collected and recycled a lot of cars up there.

#

Didn't seem as crowded as the mall outside LV tbh

calm geode
#

its the university

#

it has i think the coolest library in the game'

hearty steeple
#

Oh ,that. Yeah.

calm geode
#

all the houses in my neighborhood have all the really cool art and fancy furniture too

#

its like a whole different world

hearty steeple
#

Oh, can't believe I never went there. Would've been so much easier than clearing 3 other book stores for my books tbh.

calm geode
#

theres technically two libraries there too

hearty steeple
calm geode
#

the main library up north

#

and the smaller library in the main building

hearty steeple
#

Oh wow

#

I should've spent more time on the maps when I did my LV run ๐Ÿ˜„

calm geode
#

its a pretty cool place all in all

#

the giant auditorium looks nice too

hearty steeple
#

There is so much to clear and explore in LV though. It's like you got the rest of the map. And LV.

calm geode
#

this whole place is the campus

#

those dorms spawn stuff like guns and machetes too

#

tons of em

#

in debug mode i once found a katana there

#

and I think like 500-1000 zombies

I have been through those buildings since they are basically across the street from my racetrack base. Kinda needed to clear a certain area around it it to be "safe"

calm geode
#

thats my estimate anyways

#

yeah i play with respawns off so clearing places feels meaningful

#

most of the cool places are further up north

hearty steeple
#

The buildings weren't that bad imho, but the football field was CROWDED. I play without respawns too. Just x4 zeds.

calm geode
#

like the laser tag arena

#

i visited that

hearty steeple
#

Nice. Never seen that

calm geode
#

here

#

lemme get it for you

#

right below the strip club

hearty steeple
calm geode
hearty steeple
#

Ah, that one! I have been there. I called it the minigolf course ๐Ÿ˜„

#

I guess we all focus on different things ๐Ÿ˜„

calm geode
#

My base in the subrubs is also located near the spiffo hq

#

i have a mod whre i can pick up the statue so it wont eb there for long...

#

and actually

#

i didnt spawn near these mansions

hearty steeple
#

Aye, was about to ask if it was the one with the spiffo statue ^^

calm geode
#

i knew i wanted to live there

#

so

#

when i spawned in at louis

#

i walked

#

all the way here

#

first day

#

no weapon

hearty steeple
#

Good lord

calm geode
#

i manily just avoided hordes and used sneak around them

hearty steeple
#

I bet that kept your adrenaline going ๐Ÿ˜„

calm geode
#

it was pretty calm tbh

#

the streets arent too packed in this area

#

but there were a couple hordes to be awry of

hearty steeple
#

I have cleared a few of those roads and they're not what I would describe as calm. But suspect you might be better off on foot than in a vehicle going through there.

calm geode
#

i think i want to also go down my road a litlle and clear the music festival

#

seems interesting

hearty steeple
#

Could be, yeah. I hear it's crowded.

calm geode
hearty steeple
#

Might rack 2-3K kills just doing that.

#

True.

calm geode
#

doing melee dont ususally bring much attention

#

theres also a gas station thats like a 10 minutes ride down the road from my base

hearty steeple
#

Come to think of it I have spawned in LV twice. But I don't even count the first one. I spawned here with burn ward, broken leg, injured and depraved. Naked, cold and badly hurt. Not great.
https://map.projectzomboid.com/#13662x4020x3253

calm geode
#

Lol you spawned in the military cleared zone

#

theres nothing there

#

besides one gas pump

hearty steeple
#

There are pretty much zero resources around that area. Any zed you come across is burned as well so they don't have clothing either.

#

Shuffling around naked with no bandages just doesn't work ๐Ÿ˜„

calm geode
hearty steeple
#

That's possibly my worst spawn ever tbh

calm geode
#

just realized

#

theres a nightclub above and below this childrens play area

#

lmao

#

Fun for the whole family!

hearty steeple
#

I dunno. All the activites in first floor are amazing when you're drunk! Laser tag, minigolf, bowling and beers? Count me in!

calm geode
#

lol

#

this is also right next to the art gallery

hearty steeple
#

Yeah, you go there before getting drunk to pretend you're somewhat civilized.

calm geode
#

eventually i must go there to reclaim my toilet statue

#

modern art

hearty steeple
#

I really need to raid this place. I need some unique artwork for my base.

calm geode
#

i mean theres some interesting ones...

hearty steeple
#

But speaking of drunk. Don't play this game while drinking. That is how you died.

calm geode
#

the road...

#

wonderful painting

#

the table

hearty steeple
calm geode
#

the bed...

image.png
calm geode
#

i believe so but

#

have never tested

#

dont forget about the lower building two, its jammed full of cool art

hearty steeple
#

The bed and table doesn't seem that great unless they're unique items. The bed might be, but I feel like I could make "the table" at home.

calm geode
calm geode
#

but

#

actually

#

i have half the art already in my base

#

that i can get here

#

cause

#

the mansions have tons of unique arts

#

the george washington one is cool

hearty steeple
#

I actually really like the Mondrian paintings tbh.

calm geode
hearty steeple
#

These things

mondrian_piet_4.png
calm geode
#

yeah

hearty steeple
#

(That is a real Mondrian, but they are represented ingame as well)

calm geode
#

they are in the lower plaza

hearty steeple
#

Three of them in this shot as well

image.png
calm geode
#

i was about to say

hearty steeple
#

Yup

calm geode
#

these are unreachable

#

without building

hearty steeple
#

I will build.

#

I'm not much of an art guy, but I actually like those. They are satisfying to look at imho

calm geode
#

this statue is my favorite in game

#

followed closely by this guy

#

just so you know, the big paintings need a two story room to properly display

#

this looks like a zombie

hearty steeple
#

Nice!

#

It does!

calm geode
#

way down south theres a few more arts though, in the southern mansions of louis

#

the art house

hearty steeple
#

You just triggered an idea for me though. I need to build me a Bauhaus style Mondrian house in PZ.

ai-generated-image-contemporary-house-inspired-mondrian-s-art-modern-style-generative-297477106.png
calm geode
#

theres also 3 grand pianos in these homes

hearty steeple
#

With all these neat building menu mods I'm sure I could get close.

calm geode
hearty steeple
#

They're already pretty squared off and blocky which suits PZ well.

calm geode
#

some van gohs in these homes

#

art house also has a bar upstairs

hearty steeple
# calm geode

I've never actually seen any of these paintings anywhere else. Didn't know they were in the game

calm geode
#

with infinite water sources outside

#

my favorite couches in the whole game

image.png
hearty steeple
#

I assume they're unique to that house?

calm geode
hearty steeple
#

With my luck it'll be one of those scenario houses that are burnt down when I get there ๐Ÿ˜„

calm geode
#

this art is unique though

calm geode
#

everest

hearty steeple
#

Beautiful

calm geode
#

also has the statue

hearty steeple
#

Can you pick up the statue?

#

It looks heavy, but it also looks like it's 3x2 so it might be doable?

calm geode
#

no

#

this statue is sadly imovable

#

theres a very rare color of sofa here too

#

slightly greensih grey

hearty steeple
#

Interesting, but it wouldn't and still doesn't really catch my eye tbh. But it's cool that it's unique.

calm geode
#

theres also 5 unique water pools

#

which means you will never runn out of fish

#

since once one is depleted you move to the next

hearty steeple
#

I haven't played on my server for almost a month but I'm gonna have to pick it up. I kinda got fired up with the idea of building a Mondrian style house now.

Villa-Mondrian.png
calm geode
#

also in the art house

#

theres a double china cabinet

#

exclusive to this house

hearty steeple
#

Oh nice. Need that!

calm geode
#

pool and bar room

#

bad image but there is also a 5 piece L-shaped desk

hearty steeple
#

That's not actually too far from the bar I set up in house next to my main house rn ๐Ÿ˜„

calm geode
#

only in a few buildings does the desk exist

#

sadly

#

you cannot pick it up

hearty steeple
#

Aww.

#

Well, I have the Chinatown map on my server so the gaming room is just sitting there waiting for me

calm geode
#

I do also eventually want to go to the graveyard to get the gold bars there

#

it may be grave robbing but who cares when you have 10 millio worth of gold

hearty steeple
#

Everybodys dead anyway. No biggie.

calm geode
#

I can see it now... The ecstatsy of gold...

#

i always wondered why they named it that but

hearty steeple
calm geode
#

in the whole game i believe every grand piano is in louis

hearty steeple
#

It might be. I been playing with addons maps for far too long to say otherwise. I know I've seen them elsewhere, but probably not vanilla.

calm geode
#

I think theres 15 grand pianos in the vanilla map

#

i like exploring modded maps but i never travel when i play so the only one ive ever played a real run at is raven creek

#

another unique place is the boxing arena

#

something i just realized is the fact that the warehouse i visited for materials for my garage is right across the street from goodman legal services.

image.png
#

wish i would have gotten a picture in front of it

#

although

#

a horde of about 20 was chasing me down as i was looting so

Same tbh. I tend not to travel too far from my main base. But mostly because I try to actually explore and clear everything as I go. And I like collecting things. So clearing a city takes for ever. Mostly becuase of the cars. With all the packs and stuff I'm pretty sure there are north of 500 addon cars in my game. And I want to collect all of them. So I have to clear space. Build a building or at least a parking lot. All these things take time. But I also get bored when things are too safe so I start over all the time for the challenge of it. So the addon maps are kind of a waste. But it works on a server. Gives everyone something to explore.

calm geode
#

i was out of time

hearty steeple
#

Pretty sure there is more than one branch of Goodman legal services though. I know for damn sure I've seen at least one more in LV.

calm geode

yeah, for me its not cars but it is items, i collect decorative things to roleplay with in my base. Things that will never be used but i grab them anyways. I always seem to decorate my bathrooms with toilet paper, cologne, pills and stuff. I always collect interesting shirts i find on zeds and stuff like the TIS shirts or spiffo shirts. I collect wine glasses, plates, and utensils. All in all i just like to make my home feel lived in

calm geode
#

theres only one

hearty steeple
#

hmm

calm geode
#

the pz map project is gonna have to go into overdrive for b42

hearty steeple
calm geode
#

interesting

hearty steeple
#

The top one is the one I've seen.

#

Never been at the one you linked.

calm geode
#

they are revamping things in every town and adding 420 new zones to the map i believe

hearty steeple
#

Should be interesting.

#

I'm just hoping B42 wont break every single mod ๐Ÿ˜„

calm geode
#

we will have some incomplete maps for a while

calm geode
hearty steeple
#

Hope so!

calm geode
#

Anyways im getting pretty tired, its really late for me

#

Imma head out for now
