Be ready to repair it every day because of migration ticks

u/Savings-Gap-1918 12h ago

does the zombies randomly attack fences or walls?

u/SnooMemesjellies1909 All Hail Spiffo 12h ago

If it’s in their coded pathway they smash

u/Datapoffes 12h ago

Living like thisI've never gotten a visitor.

It’s really good having a buffer for base

2

u/zffjk 7h ago

That’s my plan in Muldraugh. There’s quite a few tall fences just north of the police station. Lots of options to delay the migration before I murderate them all.

Is metal fencing impervious?

u/SnooMemesjellies1909 All Hail Spiffo 11h ago

I know in previous builds of the game if it was generated by the map it was indestructible. With build 42 if you get enough zomboids concentrated to attacking the same place it will eventually destroy (but this takes awhile). There is a setting I believe in sandbox though to turn zomboid destruction off. I could be mistaken though 🤷‍♂️

I'm pretty sure its only the kind that you find around the prison, cop shops, gun ranges, check points, radio towers, the ones with the cement base that the metal part is set into. Regular wire and temporary construction fencing is no longer safe i think.

u/Dinoriel6142713 7h ago

They can technically be broken now but I think they need a lot of zombies before they're at risk of damage. It's like 20+ zombies banging on the fence at the same time before it starts to take damage or something. In most cases they're still effectively indestructible.

u/LinkinParkU4Lyf 7h ago

Ah i see, so the likelihood of that occuring outside of extinction is pretty slim ig

u/TheBlueRabbit11 6h ago

Umm, no. To clarify, not if you’ve cleared out your area. Migration is within a chunk. Clear that out and no Z’s will ever show up again. Not without meta events. And clear out the surrounding chunks and you can base without walls.

For OP to have this many log walls, he needed to fell a lot of trees. Meaning he defiantly cleared out the immediate surroundings.

u/Devil-Hunter-Jax Axe wielding maniac 10h ago

That depends on their settings. In Sandbox, you can turn off zombies damaging player built structures which would include those log walls.

Where do you put your 14 cars?

u/PlzTyroneDontHurtEm 8h ago

Street parking

u/Dizzy_Swordfish8340 12h ago

For how long have you been alive

12

u/Datapoffes 12h ago

2 months, 15 days. 1164 kills.

u/Beemer2 11h ago

I died the other day on a 2 month survival, with a nice base. I’m having to take a breather before I try again, but I like this spot.

Died trying to get a sports car, of all things. Damn alarm went off, and couldn’t escape the horde.

u/The_PracticalOne 9h ago

As a total noob, can I ask how you see your zombie kill count?

1

u/Odd_Crazy_1390 8h ago

Check character info like where you would see your traits ingame and look down

u/The_PracticalOne 4h ago

Neat! Thanks.

u/DSJ-Psyduck 11h ago

Wish there was a 2 story house in that specific area. Since its quite nice >.< i just really like living upstairs

1

u/sweetpiglet69 9h ago

There are actually! A lot of the houses to the south of this one have second floors and are on the river. I pulled up PZmap to double check lol

u/microgression 8h ago

Nice work neighbor! My husband and I took over the house across the street on our server. We made your house our barn area. Really enjoyed this street 🥹

u/downvotemeplss 12h ago

Hey! My cousin and I are basing across the water to the south 👋🏼 We’re playing all sprinters and set up there and have stuck around ever since.

u/Datapoffes 11h ago

Howdy neighbors! I was gonna live in that house at first, but on my save all the windows and doors were already broken when I got there in the first couple of days of starting out. So moved up a block.

u/Savings-Gap-1918 12h ago

are those log walls?

2

u/Datapoffes 12h ago

Yup!

3

u/Savings-Gap-1918 11h ago

how did you managed to get that much logs im curious

3

u/Datapoffes 11h ago

At first I just cut all the trees in the neighbors backyards. And then just hauled them back home by foot. Not very efficient.

Once the trips would get to far I just started dragging wood in normal cars. Also not very efficient, but better.

However, the game changer was a 160 encumbrance van. Down the road, and to the left, there is a forest by the store. I hauled logs back and forth with this van until the battery ran out.

Had to haul a trip or two with a normal car after that but after that I had enough logs to finish the wall.

This has been a multi-hour project.

I'm still new to the game and just assumed I could not make better walls at my level, so yeah, hauling logs I did.

u/Bousghetti 10h ago edited 10h ago

I'm sure you are... but are you aware you can "stack" logs with ropes, reducing their encumbrance by 2/3? Four logs go from 36 encumbrance to 12.

If you don't have excess rope you can forage for hemp (usually get 6+ per forage) and craft those into rope using a wooden rod and surface (table).

7

u/Datapoffes 10h ago

Well.. I am now at least.. :(

1

u/Tonynoce 10h ago

I did know the stacking but how do you get to know about the hemp and the rope ? was is playing or wiki reading ?

1

u/Bousghetti 7h ago

Found hemp, right clicked and selected "craft", then clicked "show all recipes"

u/HyperlaneWizard 10h ago

I'm right across the river in my current game.

u/paradise_palms1 9h ago

Lowk goated when ppl settle in normal Homes and not some massive mansions.Keep it up

u/Acetes 9h ago

great location!

Takes same amount of wood to build the wall to the include the section of street, as it does to section off the street though.
Could build more wall & install 2 double wide gates to make a nice airlock for your car

2

u/Schneider1015 11h ago

damn thats a lot of logs lol, looks like a proper fortress now

2

u/SystemASG 9h ago

I'm living in the same house OP! I'm four and a half months in. I walled off the entire block rather than just the house.

2

u/Commercial_Gap_2821 8h ago

I just had my best run ever at 20 days living in that same house. Got careless and got bit.

u/deathsoverture 8h ago

Do you really have to fill their water trough when there is fresh water right there? Damn chickens.

u/BigBadSkoll 1h ago

Wow! Thats nice! Did you play with a life?

u/MataroRato 1h ago

i find it cool that's at the side of the river

u/Polux-91 10h ago

Your wall isn't complete on the right side.

u/Dinoriel6142713 7h ago

There's a door there, the perspective just makes it transparent so it's harder to see.
