I started the game using the RV Nomad. I spawned at the very edge of the new map, where a fence blocked the path, so I just kept driving until I reached the first city. I was hoping for Rosewood, but somehow I bypassed it and ended up in Muldraugh. I chose Mass-GenFac as my base. I'm sure most of you use the same building as a base—it's a good size, with plenty of dirt, fewer windows and doors, and well-defended. There's plenty of space for parking, and a lake nearby.
I cleared a small space inside the building and brought the RV in as a temporary home while I worked on making the entire building a safe zone. I set up a kitchen on the second floor. I was planning to turn the entire second floor into my living space, and the kitchen was the first thing I built. I also added a floor to the northeast side, planning to turn it into storage and a bedroom. Outside the fence, I planted a farm, with the only access being through a door in the building. There's no access from outside because I don't want zombies breaking in—that would scare the crap out of me!
There's a sofa outside where I can enjoy the sun and read a book. I turned a former break room into an armory. On the third floor, I set up seven solar panels to power the base, but the battery bank says it's not enough. I’m wondering how many more I need to make it sufficient.
Outside the front of the base, I sealed the garage to keep the RV inside forever. I left another garage open for the future, planning to bring in a school bus I saw out there. My plan was to turn the bus into a mobile base for traveling to Louisville down the road. But sadly, a month later, I tried to eat a burned steak and it killed me. At least I didn’t turn into a zombie!
