Base Creation And Progression

[finite oxide]

I am building a base from scratch in west point

[meager wolf]

keep us updated

[bold jay]

can zombies break down your housewalls?

[finite oxide]

Yeah any player built construction they can break down not sure about the outside ones though

[finite oxide]

Also area is pretty clear now besides other side of town and the occasional straggler

[bold jay]

oh fairs

[finite oxide]

progress update second floor walls almost done. Still need to add garage and armory but winter is fast approaching and I need supplies

[bold jay]

what lvl carp r u

[finite oxide]

10 lol I started at level 6

[finite oxide]

Update: fractured my ankle so need to take time to heal it a little and level first aid

[finite oxide]

progress update: fully fenced in now and roof put on, starting to furnish. also found a cow trailer on a loot run to maldraugh so animal farm is starting to come together although my chicken unfortunately died

[bold jay]

are you using a mod or

are these the b42

vehicles

[finite oxide]

all the vehicles are vanilla beside the military truck

[bold jay]

thats what i meant

what mod is that

[finite oxide]

I think its called M something truck if you just look up military truck it should come up its a popular one

starting work on garage and armory

[tribal forge]

Looks like it's really coming along, nice.

[finite oxide]

Update frame is built just needs furnished

[tribal forge]

It's looking nice. Did you already like clear out West Point or something, seems like a spicy place to build a base if there's still a signficant population of them around.

[finite oxide]

the main area of west point is all clear, like all of the commercial area the only zombies left in the town are in the housing area which is a good distance from where I am at. I have also taken out most of the stragglers just from attracting them from cutting down trees

[finite oxide]

I can shoot a shotgun in here and be safe

[tribal forge]

Nice. How did you get rid of them, any particular plan or method to clear them out?

[finite oxide]

Just took a couple weeks of getting them into smaller groups and beating them with a baseball bat

[tribal forge]

Impressive. What's your kill count at this point?

[finite oxide]

I just got off but I think it’s around 3k

[finite oxide]

I also got lucky and in the gun store I found a .45 suppressor and I found a m1911 on a biker in muldraugh at the start so that has helped

[bold jay]

b42 has suppressors?

or is it a mod

[finite oxide]

im pretty sure theirs default suppresors in game becauase their was in build 41 but im using "firearms b42" mod

[bold jay]

ion think vanilla has suppressors gang

i havent seen 1 ingame b4

[finite oxide]

they exist just super rare

Starting to clear lousiville checkpoint

[finite oxide]

Over 500 zombies killed and still feel like I havent made a dent

[tribal forge]

What are your population settings?

[finite oxide]

the default high for b42

[tribal forge]

Nice. Well, certainly is a lot of zombies. I've set my current world manually to where it's like in the middle between normal and high population. Probably depending on how it goes set it just to default high next time.

[finite oxide]

high isnt too bad its just hell at the start

[finite oxide]

Progress Update: Almost November all crops have died. Whent on a loot run to guns unlimited lots of zombies but nothing I couldnt handle, and it also provides lots of new guns and ammo. I am starting to learn metalworking and smithing

[bold jay]

w progression

[finite oxide]

Armory is coming along

[tribal forge]

Very nice. What's your arsenal look like?

[meager wolf]

what's the weapon mod you're using? i can't update to 42 cause i don't wanna play without brita clothing and ammo and it's sucks

[tribal forge]

There's a few alternative gun mods but yeah I'm also hoping they'll be able to update arsenal gunslinger and britas the armor clothing and firearms mods to b42.

[meager wolf]

they will, but only after the full release of b42, i was in brita's patreons and there was a post about it, and also, they added new weapons and stuff, and they still do, but yeah, maybe next year we'll have a full release for b42

[tribal forge]

Yeah, and that's fair. I'm hoping we can get b42 stable before the end of the year though, and hopefully MP sometime next year.

[meager wolf]

well, i wish but the way they move with the updates, not so sure about that, but yeah, you never know

[tribal forge]

Yeah. Hopefully we can see 42.12 here soonish.

[finite oxide]

Im using "Firearms B42" its basically just like VFE

[tribal forge]

Sure I meant like what you actually have in your base. I was using b42 Firearms as well for a while but the mod started to have an issue rendering some of the guns. Using Rain's on my current run and on my next one I'll give the Lore Friendly Firearms expansion mod a go.

[finite oxide]

Heres the shotguns and rifles, I also have a 1911, glock and beretta

[tribal forge]

Very nice. Might have to go back to B42 Firearms after I try out the other two mods. Maybe I just had a glitch.

[finite oxide]

First Snowfall, very greatfull the update did not brick my save

Found one of the new nascars at the lousiville drag strip

[meager wolf]

nice job, you should play with some vehicle mods, for me, vanilla cars are so boring, KI5 is the god in this category

it makes your playthrough more nice idk, it gives a little bit of realism

[finite oxide]

I usually have a ton of mod cars but for b42 I was limiting my mods incase something breaks

[tribal forge]

Yeah, and there's apparently like weird new incompatibilities between mods going on too.

[bold jay]

Pls paint yo walls 🙏

[finite oxide]

I nee to find plaster lol

[finite oxide]

Update: found a military truck and trailer and am starting to stock pile for the winter. I also have started to plaster some walls but im not sure what color I want them yet. Also I had to switch to rains firearms as after the update the gun mod I was using kept crashing the game

[tribal forge]

How's Rain's working for you? Any issues or conflicts with other mods?

[finite oxide]

No real issues I have found yet besides if you go to repair a car trunk or hood it throws an error, so they are unremovable or fixable and for some reason when I open canned food it gives an error but still works so nothing that makes it unplayable. That could also be from using sapphs cooking though after the update also. No clue but the game is still running perfectly fine

Also I realized that I’m gonna need to move my furniture to fully plaster the house so that’s kinda sad

[finite oxide]

Update: on a trip to go clear muldraugh police station I hit a zombie and lost control of my truck, wrapped around a tree and now I have a fractured arm but made it back safely. Also found big spiffo

Base Creation And Progression

[meager wolf]

[bold jay]

[finite oxide]

[eager dock]

Thank me later. Game changer

[finite oxide]

trip to brandenburg

[finite oxide]

Progress Update:

[bold jay]

HE PAINTED HIS WALLS

YESSSS

[glad sage]

I need a Timelapse of him building this whilst the house building song from rdr2 is playing

[boreal void]

Looks cool. Btw is the rendering of custom build walls better than in B41 now? I remember that in B41 you were able to see inside your walls even though you were not in it and were not looking through a window?

If the rendering work snow similar to vanilla I might consider building my own house aswell ^^

[finite oxide]

I think the rendering is fixed, i havent seen an issue with it, but I paused this playthrough and have started another my character is still alive I just wanted to start fresh
