Probably some of the outer neighborhood houses of West Point?
runic prawn
These are not necessarily at a starting town, but it is a short drive away from West Point

You talking about these?

You talking about these?
The ones on that longer road ye

The ones on that longer road ye
The three mansions by the river are just a short drive away from the main West Point city, it's pretty mellow area I believe, but I've personally never been there before.
Players sure do like the place though hahaha
delicate marten
You can even aim for the church
church sounds good
no sinks, ovens, or fridges though
eternal cloak

You can grab. Some ovens and fridges from the next door houses
delicate marten
though i could shack up in the house next to it in the meantime
as i level my electrical enough to pick up ovens

if you want a strategically excellent location, here's this place
green dot, it's where i set up for my runs
delicate marten
personally, i kinda find that a bit cramped
echo ember
the green dot here is where the sports shop is, which always carries a lot of bats
runic prawn
no sinks, ovens, or fridges though
From the looks of it, those three riverbanks mensions far west of West Point seem like god tier bases
echo ember
you can get rid of furniture to make it less cramped but its up to you
runic prawn
(there's also guaranteed antique oven spawn nearby as well)
echo ember
the only downside to the location i picked is it's cramped interior, which is unfortunate
but the upsides is that it's mid town next to the big road that connects everything, perfectly centralized
if you're looking for something more humane than packing in 50000 items on the floor and in small boxes though then thats a tough one
runic prawn
not something i can get to by foot
As a base for the time being during the earlier days? Probably not
But for the endgame and for a place you can always call home, amazing.
echo ember
its hard to claim a base that's perfect for both early and lategame because the general focus shifts away from your starting town in the first place
the only thing i can suggest is westpoint since it has some beautiful second floor bases
runic prawn
I like the shophouses
echo ember
this spot in particular has stairs that give an easy exit to the back of the building
runic prawn
Specifically the Food Market/Hardware shop apartments
Amazing place (for the time being at least), relatively easy to secure and get yourself situated there
echo ember
not something i can get to by foot
but yeah bases have strengths and weaknesses generally, its hard to find the perfect base for the entire game by foot
you may just have to settle for a temporary base and then get a car to move to a more permanent spot
like uhh
runic prawn
Yeah there's no single perfect base from July 9th to late game
echo ember
hold on, let me get a thing

Yeah I can safely agree with this tbh
In every one of my games with long survival, I end up leaving my starting town to settle in a desired permanent base
delicate marten
actually
im kinda thinking
west point hardware store
second floor can be farmland
delicate marten
all the amenities are in the second floor
until i can secure the first floor
i can just live in the second floor
looks great
lots of crates too for early storage
would definitely want to get some shelves
gotta set my zombie respawn time to a week though if i wanna live in west point
never been there as im quite new to the game
runic prawn
lots of crates too for early storage
This is the general store, not the hardware store
From what you're describing, this is the place
delicate marten
what the

westpoint is pretty rough for a start
runic prawn
Its not a hardware shop lol

runic prawn
This is the actual hardware shop
echo ember

well its far away from the surplus store and the rosewood lab and it has high zed count
weapons arent as easily gotten there from what i can tell
you can hit up the school and go for the bats in the gym maybe

Much closer to Louisville border camp where you can easily access the loot. The problem is actually taking the loot home
West Point is also the town if you want to get into shooting, thanks to that gun shop
delicate marten
i might go for some short blunt so i can get a storage container on my secondary
echo ember

you know what's very strange is riverside
riverside seems like a rather bad place to start for shooting, but the thing that makes it good is it's gated community
delicate marten
not really a lot of tall fences to jump over so i can just carry a bag on my secondary
echo ember
which is massive
runic prawn
weapons arent as easily gotten there from what i can tell
Hit up the hardware shop, self storage, and factory
You'll have a many weapons (usually blunts) from there
And also, just check tool sheds and garages for tools and weapons
echo ember
Hit up the hardware shop, self storage, and factory
You'll have a many weapons ...
those are located towards the more population dense areas, hence me saying not as easily gotten

These places are in a bit more mellow part of West Point
echo ember
but the riverside gated community will have way more shotgun shell boxes than is reasonable
runic prawn
bros what's with this room?
Seems like an assembly hall or something
echo ember
These places are in a bit more mellow part of West Point
from what i remember they're placed inconveniently on the other side of town which is against the typical spawn areas, that being on the left side with the residential clumps
less activity, but a lot more annoying to get to
delicate marten
no variety in the chairs and table shop
echo ember
riverside's gated community is extremely.. good
delicate marten
my unturned experiences tells me that the bank has AKs and katanas
echo ember
westpoint's second floors are also good, just with some added challenge
delicate marten
but pz definitely says no

Yeah usually I do mad dash to the right side of town
They're also why the motel spawn is really good
echo ember
like i grab hunter and typically get about level 7 aiming before arriving at westpoint
for my endgame base
delicate marten
i kinda dont like basing in a house
but what's your opinion on the riverside police station as a base?
runic prawn
but what's your opinion on the riverside police station as a base?
Small and would need some work
delicate marten
kinda far from a lot of the stores
runic prawn
I base in a house cuz there's a kitchen, fridge, and good quality bed all ready to be used
delicate marten
i think the west point general store is better for me
but then again
it's west point
echo ember
but what's your opinion on the riverside police station as a base?
its farther away from the general POI clump that makes riverside very effective
its connected to the main road and wouldn't take too much work to get to, on top of being near a gas station (meaning you can just get some random bottle and get it full of gas to make grabbing a car far easier)
the benefit of all of this is you're settling in riverside, you'll be near the sports store and you have a decent range from the military surplus store, which is also next to another gun store a little to the left of it
echo ember
its farther away from the general POI clump that makes riverside very effective

i think if you took a hammer to destroying some furniture and take the time to move a bed in there, it can be good
runic prawn
it's west point
I've slept in one of the self storage units and factory cafeteria before during my very first days after beginning lol
runic prawn
Sleeping on couches is not the best though
delicate marten
gonna get some more mods then try out a run in west point

There’s a gun shop in West Point?
runic prawn
opinion on the valley station bank?
Valley Station is usually considered like an annoying transition zone between West Point and Louisville
echo ember
opinion on the valley station bank?
think you can manage it?
runic prawn
Its a mostly rural place but has tons of zombies
delicate marten
well it's not exactly a spawn point
echo ember
There’s a gun shop in West Point?
above the twiggys, you need a sledge hammer
runic prawn
There’s a gun shop in West Point?
Yeah but its completely closed in by shutters, so need a sledgehammer
delicate marten
the art gallery looks like it'd make for a great multiplayer base in louisville
eternal cloak
Yeah but its completely closed in by shutters, so need a sledgehammer
Where’s it at on the map
I know there’s a sledge in a survivors house
I’ll carry one around
runic prawn
Yeah very northeast of West Point
eternal cloak
Damn I wasn’t aware of that area existing lol
runic prawn
Definitely one of the mellower parts of town
eternal cloak
I’ve been focusing on clearing out the housing areas of West Point and haven’t focused on Main Street
delicate marten
aight guys
talking about peak base locations
velvet tassle or glo?
both are clubs in luis ville
runic prawn
both are clubs in luis ville
I have very little experience in Louisville, but I can safely say the waterfront mansions are god tier
eternal cloak
Should I set up a small safe house in west point for a early louisville loot stache
and once I get deeper into louisville I set up a base there
runic prawn
Speaking of that I need to steal the military lockers from the border camp, I realized it needed crowbars when I forgot to bring one...
My guns and ammo are all lying on the floor at the moment
runic prawn
the velvet tassle is a strip club
make sure to use a blunt weapon if you want the clothes XD
delicate marten
oh i never use sharp
runic prawn
glo is a night club
Yeah I seen that on the Zomboid Map Project
But I can't say anything about the LV northern waterfront yet, only the western waterfront
Waterfront mansions are very good bases though I can safely say
wintry goblet
Good luck
delicate marten
yeah i kinda need to get tot he west point general store since i plan to base there

bros where am i?
top left of the main street
keep going left and youll reach the high school

i have two bags, i dont think i need to go to the high school
can definitely replace my bread knife
but i definitely wanna use a short blunt

Similar sized warehouse in riverside too
West of riverside, probably has every single item you'd need to build and secure the base too
Many many crates full of tools, construction equipment, weapons too. Possibly sledgehammers
@delicate marten
delicate marten
hmm
I'll have to take a better look at that
cause i did see the slaughterhouse just a bit farther away
delicate marten
just looked at it, kind of not a fan
but
i do like the autorepair in front of it
fervent echo
The large warehouse in Muldraugh is a classic favorite for a lot of players. Also, it's near enough to a lake you can fish in
it also roughly fits the size you're looking for
delicate marten
okay you know what
gotta add another condition
anywhere but muldraugh
can be in fucking march ridge just not muldraugh

There is a line of mansions in west Louisville, one of them has a massive garage. It is fully fenced off save for the gate and two small holes near the river and has a house about the size you want and a parking garage for vehicles
grizzled urchin
i believe you're looking for this
just add front gate and wall on back yard all way to water. then your backyard is prefect safe for starting farm like i did
there's more screenshot in my showcase 'sean's base in louisville
delicate marten
it comes with a house so it's ew
i don't like basing in houses
without breaking down walls
it's cramped
with weird corners too
if you break down walls, it just looks weird
and in two storey houses, it ends up being a bit too big
grizzled urchin
i usually dont like house but it grow on me
