You'd think after that retarded glitch that stole all my rucksacks, that I'd give this base a lower rating, but nah, we're cool. The Corner Office is a solid base. Still wish I had that 2nd large facility slot, though.
The corner office is my favorite base ever because of its location. Not only is it in the center of the map, but it’s also in a small town. Which is perfect for my strategy. I spend my outposts all around the town of lowl, completely surrounding my base in a safe zone. Whenever a siege occurs, nothing spawns at all! The only time any sort of zombies attack is when the spawn down the road and wander in
@@TheOldMan-75 That's funny. Even though it's been a while since I published this video, I still remember being constantly antagonized by periodic roaming zombies.
Only been playing for about 2 weeks. Thank you for the videos! Great way to get over the starting pains! I'm heading to bridge, then corner office next!
Yes, State of Decay has a lot to with know how. I just hope your move into the Corner Office doesn't wind up with your vehicles getting possessed by angry spirits like mine did.
Funny I just recorded electricity options in my next base review, but lemmie just tell you how I got it real quick. You beat the game and you unlock a legacy power based on the leader you beat the game with which means there are 4 legacy powers. You can equip up to 2 legacy powers at a time. The Builder's power is the Amenities legacy which gives you permanent electricity and water without maintenance or zombie threat generation. That's how I do it.
Git Gud Fox thank you! Ive restarted 3 times already. I get pissed that a guy gets killed, so I start over. I need to stop doing that! Lol. Thanks again.
in all fairness a latrine (which would technically not have plumbing) would probably be best in an open air space instead of inside. Its good to see some one who truly cares for their community
I like the corner office as it's vertically appealing and different from other bases in the game - but it's a magnet for roaming hordes. The game often spawns them up near the library where they will path south and attack, and they also will wander in from either direction on the street right out front of the office... where they will path right up to the base and attack. It's got tons of entrances to block with cars if you try to go that route, which is doable, but it's a real hassle as your characters can open the doors and smash your cars up to get that one lone crawling zombie outside. Zombies that do get in are also an issue as it's claustrophobic and tight quarters, especially if you've built up a ton of stuff on the side outside. Finally - I've noticed the field that's down near the power plant to the south of the base (in between your base's safe zone area + the bounty broker) gets FILLLLLLED with hordes/juggernauts/ferals/screamers/bloaters, so trying to drive back through that direction often drags that stuff right to your front door. Personally while I like this base I only bother with it when I'm on standard mode.
This base is a death trap on Nightmare Zone unfortunately. Any base dominated by indoors footprints is a dangerous location. The more outdoor a base is, like Whitney Field, the better.
I am currently in a corner office on nightmare zone and there are so many zombies around that it's unreal. Never had so many zombies next to any base I was in. They don't thin out no matter how long I am in it.
I’m starting this map now, I’ve had your base videos on repeat trying to figure out which base to move to next! I loved mikes concrete and mohr and mohr is similar
Thank you, I was worried I wouldn't sound very good as I recorded this episode short on sleep, but it seems that it does not distract from the information!
Hi Fox! I've just watched your review about "corner office" and it's really good. But may be you have to do an update with the nightmare zone. I have my community in this base and I will move them to another base. The reason is the quantity of hordes and sieges... I think this is because this base is just right on the street, no separation with the road (like the others bases) and any zombie walking tries to came inside. I really enjoy your episodes.
Sry to ask, mb that ll be a nb question but, d u knw why my home status base management gave diferent background? My one in left anr right r brow like a tree texture diferente from every video aboute base guide i see on the yt. Sry about my english i m from brasil and i cant spell very whell..
This base is doable in Nightmare using Red Talon Watchtower, Workshop and Bunkroom facilities. Block all but two entrances and hold the courtyard so you don’t have to fight on the stairs. Lethal is predictably bad unless you have mostly contractors and a pathologist.
If you're on nightmare zone proceed with caution. So many horde spawns right on top of you and that includes feral and multi-jugs. Pardon the pun but it was a nightmare!
I wouldn't recommend this base for Nightmare Zone. I wouldn't recommend any base that is dominantly indoors in Nightmare Zone. Unfortunately, the addition of that new level of difficulty made some of these reviews awkward.
One thing I just noticed. Corner office was my favorite base in the whole game. But... I noticed today that the lookout on top of the building is worthless! They shoot at NOTHING. The police station in Meagher Valley, you actually get a lot out of that look out on top of that building. This one you get no support from
I know this is old but why do you always have beds for out post I personally try to level out or have 1 of everything coming in also 1 of my characters has +4 beds and sleep anywhere so -1 so technically 5 beds free
Most of the time it's because I can't fit beds in any other way. There are times where I will use the RT Bunkroom, but that's only when the base has a lot of small facilities.
Church: 5 custom small slots 1 custom large slot watchtower with bell materials from the pews Office: 5 custom small slots 1 custom large slot watchtower kitchen easy to defend. TLDR: if you want a kitchen go with the office, if you want a bell go with the church
I was just wondering why you didnt use hydroponics instead of gardens. I thought that hydroponics produced more than the gardens, and with the builder boon you dont need to worry about water or power
That’s absolutely in reality false. Hydroponics produces food in endless supply. You can have lettuce tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, and potato’s grow with assembly line production. However, dead labs has limited this game beyond measure.
I feel like to an extent where a basis doesn't matter. You have outposts to deposit anything butt Ruck stacks. Then you have the game spawning missions around your base rather than far away at least in my experience. When I was in Drucker County I really wanted to get missions from a particular group so I can get their computer person but they never showed up because of how far away the group was Maybe
the hydro... okay the advance garden will make use of small slot more. Well, I must test the corner office next time. One good thing about the office than the church: I don't have to drive all over a stupid mountain path to get there which I crash very frequently
Beat the game with the builder leader to unlock the builder legacy power. You can choose 2 out of the 4 leader powers once you beat the game with each of them. The builder gives you constant water and power when chosen.
The amenities power? Sometimes I mention it in the review and sometimes I don't. If I didn't, I would use 2 outposts for water and power, and if my community were 9+ members such that the outposts can't provide enough beds, I'd use hybrid facilities, like a Red Talon Officer's Quarters, and/or a Lounge which each give +2 beds.
I'm ready to move to this base. I do not care for that church on the hill base. I moved there on day 10 and its day 11 I'm ready to go. My first bade was the justineau house. I like that better but some of the good missions were on the far sides of the map so that's why I'm out here.
I would not recommend this base for nightmare mode. Yesterday, a member of my community tried to 1v1 a plague juggernaught while I was away from my base. Guess what, she died in an instance. I do not know why they keep trying to 1v1 zombies, but it is a pain in the ass.
I'm mainly concerned about the lack of clear fields of fire. I think wide open bases are going to be strong in Nightmare Zone where your BFG snipers have the least obstacles blocking their aim.
I agree, it will be a clear advantage. It feels like the game is totally different in so many ways on nightmare mode. You really have to change strategies. @@GitGudFox
@@christoffernielsen5269 Yeah, in Standard Zone, all I really care about are the presence of available facilities and open building plots... and if the base is conveniently located. Now, the shape of base plays a role. The AI doesn't always help. They aren't very good at moving around things to shoot.
That's why I chose the church recently. Unfortunately, I think the lookout tower is worthless. It's so high up that no one can see anything to shoot. I may move to Loch and Keogh, though it also has a watch tower that may be in the same position. Maybe M&M is the choice despite my low rating of it.
The AI isn't always the best... well, it's often not the best. All my community members have B50FGs, so they just need to hit something once to remove them.
Man of my own heart, 50 cal too fun to watch when a survivor has that equipped. I think the watchtowers we build work pretty well. It’s too bad, the built in towers are a great idea but not well executed. I’ve baited many hordes into bases just to see how the built in or self built towers work. I’ve actually found a single level tower in the middle or rear position to be the best while the foot soldiers go at em.
I love the location of this base, its really nice but I am having a difficult time defending this base on nightmare. :/ one problem i am having is my ai simply does not have line of sight enough to shoot the zombies that get close especially jugs, this get really bad when there is a plague jug , multiple ferals and like 30+ normal zombies, my ai doesnt know what to do, sometimes when it gets bad all my ai just leave the base and fight them on the streets but this is actually better sometimes because they will actually have line of sight to shoot zombies idk within 24 hours of moving here, 4 of my ai defenders have even gotten blood plague and nearly died, sometimes in sieges and other times just randomly
update, a big part of my problems was because the noise of defending the base from sieges would attract all the zombies from a nearby plague heart so after killing the plagueheart things are not as bad....jeez nightmare plaguehearts are no joke without proper equipment :o
Debates can be made from a game standpoint, but everything I know about zombie sieges (he said with a straight face) tells me this is a REALLY BAD IDEA. 25% of your structure /is/ the outside wall? Only shoddy hand-made fences guarding another 25%? I mean maybe if you just turned the bottom floor into a barbed wire and pungi stick mess, you'd be on to something, but otherwise...whew.
This game isn't really like very detailed on simulating home defense. If all of your guys have guns, they're going to survive most of what the game throws at them.
Those poor people have to shit on the roof, just feet away from the other survivors who man the lookout? The zombies took their hope and Fox took their dignity. lol

I enjoyed it. It's probably the easiest base to defend.
Corner office is one of my favorite bases on the map. Lots of Lootables for early construction and resources. It's a solid spot
Wasn't a fan of the church, eh?

@@GitGudFox Church seems to be one of those bases where there's always a Zombie coming over the fence somewhere and starts roaming around.
@@TheOldMan-75 That's funny. Even though it's been a while since I published this video, I still remember being constantly antagonized by periodic roaming zombies.
@@GitGudFox In contrast to that, the corner office is probably one of the easiest to defend bases in the game. Besides the container fort of course.

This base is not as good in Nightmare Zone. I find that indoor dominant bases are not very good in Nightmare Zone.
I always put in a red talon watchtower in where you put a garden
I found my community morale increases while taking dumps off the edge of the roof, which in effect saves me building the latrine slot.
Big brain!

A bit awkward in Nightmare Zone, but it is quite good in Standard Zone.

Church:
5 custom small slots
1 custom large slot
watchtower with bell
materials from the pews
Office:
5 custom small slots
1 custom large slot
watchtower
kitchen
easy to defend.
TLDR: if you want a kitchen go with the office, if you want a bell go with the church
How do you always have power and water?
Beat the game with the Builder.
Cool thanks
I was just wondering why you didnt use hydroponics instead of gardens. I thought that hydroponics produced more than the gardens, and with the builder boon you dont need to worry about water or power
They're the same output when the garden is maxed out, but you don't need utilities for the garden.
That’s absolutely in reality false. Hydroponics produces food in endless supply. You can have lettuce tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, and potato’s grow with assembly line production. However, dead labs has limited this game beyond measure.
i loved the corner and never went container fort. I lieked making the whole town section a green zone
I wish the building lights would work if we have power going to the base

Zombies should not spawn in the safe zone of an outpost.
@@GitGudFox good. Makes me feel safe.
They doesn't mean they can't be lured there though, so one should still be prepared for battle.
