Rusty Rifle base, or as I like to call it: Fort Venus

[gloomy gulch]

nice base

i might consider that next time

its got loads of space

though id assume its not close to a river or forest

[upbeat ore]

There's a ton of forest nearby and a well next door

[gloomy gulch]

whatttt

thats insane

thats actually a super nice base location then

not to mention it looks SUPER good

i dont know if thats just mostly your decoration skills or what though

oh also

do me a favor and check out the coffee shop in west point once you get level 10 carpentry

because they have some super good looking counters there

ill send a picture

here they are

a nice dark brown with a golden top

[upbeat ore]

the location is super OP

[gloomy gulch]

A GAS STATION TOO???

[upbeat ore]

all of this is within walking distance

[gloomy gulch]

im 100% basing there next time holy shit

its in the middle of the map too

you're super close to everything

a farm might be a little tough to set up if you want large scale but making a wall on the other side of that road will let you do it just fine i rekon

[gloomy gulch]

also i have a recommendation for your base

try placing more items on the ground

like wine bottles on the counter

or tv remotes on the glass table

something i like doing is getting those tool racks, placig them down, and using extend 3d placement to position weapons on them to make them look like they're racked up there

[upbeat ore]

my diecast car collection already puts enough strain on my PC

[gloomy gulch]

oh lol

it shouldnt have too much of an impact though

[upbeat ore]

i was gonna play a full year on this save (im 9 1/2 months in) but honestly i think im okay to make a backup and just leave it here

[gloomy gulch]

dont force yourself if its not fun

you can always come back to it later

[upbeat ore]

its been a lot of fun but at this point im pretty much set and fully prepared for when the power/water goes out

and while im at it, might as well show off the interior of my school bus

[gloomy gulch]

if you want a better sleeping bag than your current one theres a high quality one inside guns unlimited (its a nice fluffy brown i think)

[upbeat ore]

Nothing will ever replace the Spiffo sleeping bag

I have a complete collection of Spiffo memorabilia on this save

Big Spiffo included

[gloomy gulch]

oh my bad i didnt know you had it, i was just looking at the camo one

[gloomy gulch]

lucky

ive never found a single spiffo item

even the plush

[quartz coral]

WHAT this is sick as HELL

[hot grove]

Bro this is fucking art

[upbeat ore]

updated version

[quartz coral]

can you point out differences?

[upbeat ore]

• new wall
• no more shed
• added windows to garage

[thorn pilot]

how did you get the movie screen there, or was it already located at that area? i cursory tried to move one once but didnt get a pickup option for it

i assume the glass windows are for vision outside and audible warning when zombies break in to that little 1x1 airlock between fences?

[gloomy gulch]

yes it spawns there but you could probably substitute it by making a wall and adding white plaster on it

the projector is moveable so aslong as you get the white boards you're fine

[gloomy gulch]

i think you're mistaking the metal sheets for windows, they added them since if you just make it a wall you have to remake the entire wall if a zombie breaks in but if you just build a window and add a sheet on top it still provides good defence but you only need to replace one thing

[thorn pilot]

oh damn thats brilliant, and it gives you vision through the window still too yeah? Im def going to replicate this. i like the 1x1 airlock corridor for double reinforcement too.

[thorn pilot]

ahh yeah thats what i figured. i wonder if i can brush it in or tile picker it and toss out an estmated amount of mats for "building" one.

[gloomy gulch]

no sadly

if you want barricades and windows just put 2 planks on either side

3 planks and it blocks the sight out

however there is an alternative called bar barricade (i think) thats the same as metal sheet but just more costly in exchange for sight

melee weapons can attack through it

sorry luna for flooding your post again 😭

[thorn pilot]

ohh thats a good calll thanks
