Totally different before your married thinking how much tail your going to get anytime you want then your married it's great for the 1st year then a few years later you have to do things for her, years after that your at the waiting 3 months stage! Just wait till your at my stage when your GLAD she doesn't want to have sex with you! LOL!!!!
small note about #5: the factory, the entire area is abandoned, so the factory and all the houses are going to be very sparse on loot. they're more useful for the furniture within, especially the appliances, so you won't have to go far to pick up a working oven. also gotta be careful not to sledge the elevator shaft because it's an easy death trap
With that lakeside church in Doe valley I'm currently holed up in the service station just north of it. It has an upper level living quarters. I dismantled, (packed), the two large main fridges on the low level to save power, (there is an ice fridge just outside already too, bring it in and upstairs), and that space is now getting filled with crates to store the huge amount of ammo you get in the town at the rural supply and the military surplus. I started in muldraugh and cleaned the city, so went out there. Yes, there are a lot more zombies than you think in this valley. Want some fun? Go to the roads on the way from the little town out towards the military surplus, find a zombie or two on the road, shoot them. Wait for the now ~100 zombies that just flow in from the fields. So be ready with plenty of ammo and beta blockers. You should get a lot of seeds from them as a lot are field workers. I also just finished a first run out to the military surplus store too. Just carpentry dismantled the armory door. lol. Going to need to head back as my 140 capacity van wasn't enough. Lucky me also found a trailer almost right at the surplus store too, it was like 10% condition, got it back to the base mentioned just above and fixed it to almost perfect now. Also something funny, I had more house alarms in this little town compared to the entire of muldraugh, (like 5 were in a row), also never found a single generator there, got to bring my own in. I finally found a generator in the outer locality sheds though, like right out where the food storage sheds are.
Awesome! I didn't know that about the seeds being dropped, thats cool. Recently started in Riverside with no gun store, so I'll defo have to head down and raid all that ammo!
I like doe valley. I recently stayed there. I made a base in the burger joint building. Its right across the gasstation. I did some carpentry and some work around it. I made some walls connecting them to the giant wooden fence walls. This way I had a secure backyard. I then made stairs to get ontop of the building. I build a small hut ontop of the building. I found a anthique stove in one of the shops so I placed that inside to keep me warm during the nights. For the downstairs I took down all the furnature and I made it into an armory/living room. Overall this was a fun project. The base turned out pretty good. I didnt clear much of the town since I wanted to have zombies left so they could attack my fortress/base while I was shooting them from the top. It was a fun thing to do. I was on sort of "holiday" with my character and I had some fun 3 weeks in that town.
@@Drie_Kleuren I love these stories people tell. Yep, I cleared that burger joint after I raided the three houses just south of the fuel station for extra cabinets. Luckily the whole town was not without crates, heaps at the supply stores. Also something else fun, if you're into meat cleavers I found a ton over at the military surplus town. Just south of the military surplus is a butcher shop in the shop complex. Just about every cabinet had a cleaver.
@@AwpenheimerI started as a police officer in rosewood with nothing but a glock and rolling pin, i began by raiding my neighbours and clearing the apartments above the stores and ended the day there, then I started clearing my war to the courthouse and slept in the break room there, then I raided the police station and found a cop car, raided the clothing store for jeans and a Denim shirt and slept in the hotel again, and went to the prison and managed to raid the small armoury before finding a military m113 and trailer so I now have cleared half of the gated neighbourhood and set up base in one of the homes, i chopped the trees in the yard and am gonna build a gate… but I am gonna go to doe valley to raid the police station farming store and maybe a warehouse. Any suggestions on what to do next
2:43 I’m new to the game so I never noticed this before, but that’s a nice detail that they have a baseball bat factory in this city. In the States, the “Louisville Slugger” is synonymous with baseball bats - almost like how “Q-Tips” are synonymous with cotton swabs. When I was younger and starting to play baseball myself (back in the early 90s), my dad gave me his Louisville Slugger that he’d had since he was a kid. It’s cool that the game has nods to cultural things like that.
Me and my mate once made a base out of West Point city centre... It takes A LOT of killing and wood, but it is right in the middle of the map and has many stores, including 2 medical offices, a bookstore, an eatery, a clothes store and a hair salon for bombs- all apart of the main base! It contains 2 apartment blocks above these stores and right next to this MEGA base is a gas station and a bar! Behind is the police station, above is the lake, aswell as an entire set of other stores just a short walk down the main road- a hardware store and all! If you're big on fighting and carpentry- its a good base. Me and my mate added a gate on one side and a wall on the other. We didn't want to have to manage two gates- but it is possible. We also took the car park behind the stores. Fill in all the alleys and boom! A fully secure mega base inside the centre of WP!
I also had a base in the abandoned factory. It's really a lot of work but also has a lot of potential and is really away from everything. Without a car you are lost. There's still an abandoned factory in the middle of Louisville. Between a cinema, a nightclub and the art gallery. But it's full of zombies. Or the baseball bat factory in the east of Louisville.
My first long-term base was in the clearing East of the trailer park and gas station on the road from Muldraugh to West Point. I had a semi truck and lived in the trailer of it until I built my base there. Unfortunatley the truck broke down in west point and I survived there for a couple days but was eventually overrun by the horde. Will never forget you, Swag Gamer.
I don’t do bases that aren’t on the 2f. Got to be on that floor and have a window as an emergency escape. That’s my motto, at least since I’ve died a couple times after waking up to a horde and getting trapped 😂
Huge factory is always the go for me and my friends. Every time it’s usually me and my best mate going to clear out that place and set up a fortress. It’s so close to so much more now. Keen to get back online on build 42.
I base up at the other radio station, surrounded by forest and indestructible fence, plus there's a full size building that you can just add onto and a tool shed.
the Lakeside Church. Right now my favourite thing is to add a "hidden" second floor to buildings with high ceilings. Those upper windows would look great. On multiplayer I'm jealous of my neighbour's greenhouse at the farms south of LV. Somehow it has never been smashed. Nearly all these locations are marked as Reset zones, including all of LV, so we can't build/base there.
The huge factory is so fun! If you use a sledgehammer you will find that the entire space over the entry room is just open air. So you can actually make a huge second floor. In multiplayer me and friends made the entire third floor our personal rooms, with a kitchen. Opened up the area with sledge to make a rooftop farm, and added that entire second floor. Our final plan is to make the base floor a giant garage and it will be perfect.
Myself and a group of friends took over the enclosed townhouses pictured direct center at 2:51, with the courtyard and gazebo. That was probably the single most secure setup we've ever had, simply because once you're clear of zombies inside, you are fully surrounded by tall fences made up by the backyards of the surrounding houses, and the little road on the east side in the only way in/out.
Trainyard my beloved. an old non residential base for me and large groups. Perfect for no tresspass servers to keep your cars secure and a second floor that can be highly modified to easily level *EVERYONE'S* carpentry.
The best place I've found so far was a house next to the river in Louisville with a giant garage for several cars, a place almost entirely enclosed and very well located with a river for endless water
I'm in the junkyard in Riverside. There is one portacabin in there but I've extended out from the bottom end. You have a ton cars to work on (which are random) and there is only entrance/exit to plug up. The fence is the taller variety so Zeds are going to have trouble dipping over. You can also drive into Riverside or even walk if your car breaks down. Once your metalworking is high enough you can make a gate for the only entrance. So few zombies are around that you can grow your crops without trouble, and once in for a while trees start growing inside the compound so you'll have plenty of wood. Also, not far to walk to the bait shop and the river for fishing and you can stock up on tainted water to boil.
The 3 military houses on the border between Louisville and Knox country are actually cool as hell to base in, clear of zombies, use a sledgehammer to destroy and open paths up to both
I'm currently building at Sarfish Hotel, next to the lumber yard at 5:45. It has a secured storage area with only one entrance and gas station right next to it and I'm turning everything into one big complex. It needs tons of recources, but I get all the wood I need from the lumber yard and the forest next to the highway.
The rural houses, the ones across from the outdoor store and the gunshop, there are so many zombies out there its almost comical. I've made several treks out there across different playthroughs and each time there are thousands clustered around that little area of buildings and that stretch of road.
Another cool base good for a big group is the Kentucky Rail Office Building, directly east of the military checkpoint. It’s great for a big group, and has a huge garage section east of the office for all of your car maintenance needs.
The distillery is my best place to live when I want to clean Louisville (very easy to safe, near the river, with a gas station across the street and even a forest in front of the garages to hunt in) 👍
I’ve been playing on a server with my friend since we first bought the game, and we stumbl3d across the sunset motel. We’ve spent 100 hours now building a garage, lookout posts and sorting storage. We even built 2 floors on the garage to build bars libraries and so on. There’s so much to do in this game.
Another neat spot I've been using as a base is the American Tire store on the eastern edge of West Point. Only one wall has windows except the two garage doors and it has a storage room built-in all you need to do is reorganize, but all that metal shelving already set up is really nice. Break room has a mini fridge and microwave.
@@Awpenheimer it's been nice so far, just needs a perimeter fence set up. Great little base building for 1 - 4 players. Across the railroad tracks, on the right side of the highway, just below the gun store in West Point.
It's fun to get inventive for sure. Once I've finished my playthrough at the moment, I'll pick somewhere else fun to base up at. It's fun going for the not so obvious places. Going for the mansions is kinda boring. Looking forward to Build 42 for the basements.
Ive actually based before in the jaimeton surplus store and can say that once the town is cleared its a actually very good base! And cool to. Would suggest it to anyone wanting to base close to a surplus of gear
Played a game with the 10 years later mod with a bunch of friends (about 8-10 of us) awhile back. We set up at the logging factory rather than the logging camp mainly because it would take less time to setup in there than building from scratch. And boy was it a struggle cause we were struggling for food along side calories to keep going even with a large farm on the roof above although that got sorted out (thank god for rabbits) otherwise we would have had people dying from emaciation aside from being bitten or eaten alive. Was fun though, we ended up turning it into a compound given we had more wood to work with than we needed and weren’t too far from Muldraugh for anything else that we couldn’t make from scratch.
The trainyard is cool for a group. everyone gets a bay door, keep the food and guns on the south end of the building. open up the fence on the train tracks to get into the city faster
There is a super remote small village "near" the southernmost trainyard there is no loot but its a cool base if you like farming (it also has a small lake) You should however have a good vehicle, you need it.
Riverside school is goated,lots of room,secured back yard,tons of books,and the front road can be secured with some walls. It does take a lot of time to barricade though
The stable in the bottom left corner of Louisville park is fantastic! The building has an open courtyard for your farm and cars too! Barricade the 4 windows and put a double gate on the archway and you are set. Country living in the middle of the city.
One of my favourite places to set base is in the apartments above the food market in West Point, once I've cleared the area I like to wall of the alleyway out the back and put a gate between the food market and the office buildings which gives plenty of space for cars also it connects to a little tool shop which has most of what you need and if it doesn't there's plenty of other shops near by that cover everything
also to add to the surplus store, you may also consider the one in NW Louisville. It's entire locked off area is extremely secure as the in game walls cannot be destroyed. And you can get without compromising the walls, by either 1) the mod that allows to climb walls, 2) carpentry to build stairs or 3) enough planks and nails to build a bridge from the battery factory. The building has 3 floors, but the second floor does not exist so once you get to the ledge, you can simply drop in Mission Impossible style
LV military surplus store can also be an even safee basez even if you in a MP server. Make stairs to roof, dismantle a roof tile to the protected part of the store (Where all guns, including the Military rare stuff can spawn), get down there, build a staircase, build a second floor level, dismantle the inside stair (preplace a rope of course), shut things down, dismantle the stairs outside. Always have a friend to arm a rope when you returning. If in SP, RP it with a second character in the same world. You can always get the weapons in there, and so long you keep radios, TVs and walkie talkies/ham radios shut down, no one will think twice that someone has made home in there until either someone spots the roof hole you made, or spots you.
I've played for over a year and never knew about that fort. I did base up at that connected factory but got bored out of my mind. I base at the gas station across from that lake church. I'm currently based, as before one of the Louisville houses but i might switch to that distillery.
Not here but i absolutely love the factory and factory storage slightly southwest of riverside, has the trailer park and self storage next to it too, lots of storage, big space, big roof for farming and even more of that if you go visit the factory with a sledgehammer, there's quite a few zeds there but every time i go there they're just grouped up between the outside of the factory and the factory storage, so i always level up my aim a bit when i go there for the first time
Thanks! I only knew of one the farm house thank you so much! I want to go try the mall 1st i use the ladder mod so mall will be great! Really great video!!!! very informative for me!
There is a walled off place in Muldrough. It has 1 big warehouse, 1 building with storage units and unfinished building which u can maybe turn into a house if you like.
Worth noting several of your locations are swarming with zeds when you have Apoc or higher zed count. Especially phallus lake and the rural houses. They look like they should be sparse, but actually have a few thousand zeds.
honestly i used to think the fort was a good base but it's way to far from any town to be useful alot of people think this is fort knox, but it's actually Fort Boonesborough. Fort knox is south of maldraugh in real life while Boonesborough is east of louisville, so it's probably staying there in the next map expansion
I don't know about those rural houses. I based there once and while it seemed like there shouldn't be a lot of zombies, there must have been a horde spawn point on the road next to the house because every couple of days a horde would show up in the yard. It was ridiculous.
11:58 I live there in my CDDA run I live in the church and have a Wall around It the other building ist apart of it I almost survived Winter and can fish
NOPE. the small rural houses near the river and the BOAT are the only viable solutions longterm. u ncant PRAY for rain or snow to get water. A river provides water and food for a very long time. more then u can "live". Their close proximity to a gas station and isolation plus the mats nearby make them perfect for base builders. As a nomad or temp outpost yah there are many options. for a base u need WATER.
Rain barrels are a thing, and I don't know what your character eats but a quick trip to any supermarket or small neighborhood will keep you fed for weeks.
@@hokagab true. but technicly ur rebuilding a small comunity. of 1 or more. primitive pre techciv are build next to water. Ur barell makes u rain dependant. a river gives water, fish etc.

That ferry is 'Belle of Louisville' I believe. It's a Steamboat attraction, they take you on a river tour complete with a meal.
Im surprised not more people know about that lakeside church area it's such a good base location easily my top 3
The trainyard is cool for a group. everyone gets a bay door, keep the food and guns on the south end of the building. open up the fence on the train tracks to get into the city faster
I would always use the town near the abandoned factory, and I never knew it existed, imma try it out on my next playthrough
the MP server i play on had a medieval style, melee weapons only, defense event at the fort and it was an awesome location for it.
Sounds awesome! Had something similar on DayZ recently, would love to give it a go on Zomboid!
There is a super remote small village "near" the southernmost trainyard there is no loot but its a cool base if you like farming (it also has a small lake)
You should however have a good vehicle, you need it.
Riverside school is goated,lots of room,secured back yard,tons of books,and the front road can be secured with some walls.
It does take a lot of time to barricade though
The stable in the bottom left corner of Louisville park is fantastic! The building has an open courtyard for your farm and cars too! Barricade the 4 windows and put a double gate on the archway and you are set. Country living in the middle of the city.
One of my favourite places to set base is in the apartments above the food market in West Point, once I've cleared the area I like to wall of the alleyway out the back and put a gate between the food market and the office buildings which gives plenty of space for cars also it connects to a little tool shop which has most of what you need and if it doesn't there's plenty of other shops near by that cover everything

Ladders don't work? Mods are your friend my guy. If not for functionality, its also for the aesthetics. Better than sheet ropes.
also to add to the surplus store, you may also consider the one in NW Louisville. It's entire locked off area is extremely secure as the in game walls cannot be destroyed. And you can get without compromising the walls, by either 1) the mod that allows to climb walls, 2) carpentry to build stairs or 3) enough planks and nails to build a bridge from the battery factory. The building has 3 floors, but the second floor does not exist so once you get to the ledge, you can simply drop in Mission Impossible style
i used to spawn in Riverside and Rosewood for few runs , but i tried in Muldraugh , it takes a while to get used to. Preety difficult. populated.
Uncle Reds, best base mod for that town.
LV military surplus store can also be an even safee basez even if you in a MP server.
Make stairs to roof, dismantle a roof tile to the protected part of the store (Where all guns, including the Military rare stuff can spawn), get down there, build a staircase, build a second floor level, dismantle the inside stair (preplace a rope of course), shut things down, dismantle the stairs outside. Always have a friend to arm a rope when you returning. If in SP, RP it with a second character in the same world.
You can always get the weapons in there, and so long you keep radios, TVs and walkie talkies/ham radios shut down, no one will think twice that someone has made home in there until either someone spots the roof hole you made, or spots you.
Yeah but I don't think you'll be very well liked when people realize the guns aren't respawning lol.
Great content, well delivered, nice!
@@omgitsXile thanks! :)
when I get more experienced I would really like to use one of these! thanks !!
Ecron church is a great base for the inexperienced, will need a car tho.

nice video, i definitely got some motivation out of it
@@Naccarat thanks, great!!
I've played for over a year and never knew about that fort. I did base up at that connected factory but got bored out of my mind. I base at the gas station across from that lake church. I'm currently based, as before one of the Louisville houses but i might switch to that distillery.
Which one is your favourite?!
I think mineeee is between the mall roof, and the fort: although it is in the middle of nowhere which is a downside..
Not here but i absolutely love the factory and factory storage slightly southwest of riverside, has the trailer park and self storage next to it too, lots of storage, big space, big roof for farming and even more of that if you go visit the factory with a sledgehammer, there's quite a few zeds there but every time i go there they're just grouped up between the outside of the factory and the factory storage, so i always level up my aim a bit when i go there for the first time
All the Louisville Mall is a good location to make a base. The abandoned shop in front of a roof top is good too.
@@viniciuslopes177 hell yeah!
My first long-term successful base was in Rosewood's lumber yard. There's only one weak point for that whole area!
Thanks! I only knew of one the farm house thank you so much! I want to go try the mall 1st i use the ladder mod so mall will be great! Really great video!!!! very informative for me!
Awesome! Glad you liked it :)
didnt know about the ferry or the fort so cool
There is a walled off place in Muldrough. It has 1 big warehouse, 1 building with storage units and unfinished building which u can maybe turn into a house if you like.
@@RichardoMilos cool, I’ll check it out!
nice vid
love the locations
Thanks!!
I think the gunstore being across the mall is a direct reference to Dawn Of the Dead.
@@bruh_gaming9368 ah awesome
Worth noting several of your locations are swarming with zeds when you have Apoc or higher zed count. Especially phallus lake and the rural houses. They look like they should be sparse, but actually have a few thousand zeds.
@@ninjacoom2310 yeah rural areas are always super populated on this build!!
Finally, someone mentions the distillery
honestly i used to think the fort was a good base but it's way to far from any town to be useful
alot of people think this is fort knox, but it's actually Fort Boonesborough. Fort knox is south of maldraugh in real life while Boonesborough is east of louisville, so it's probably staying there in the next map expansion
I don't know about those rural houses. I based there once and while it seemed like there shouldn't be a lot of zombies, there must have been a horde spawn point on the road next to the house because every couple of days a horde would show up in the yard. It was ridiculous.
Ladders do work with mods
Ah that’s cool will have to check that out
Rural Houses "peaceful life" ,this place/city have more zombies than riverside and rosewood 😳...

The first one is a death sentence. The mall takes ages to take over
All part of the fun
I setup shop at the car dealership in the unfinished area. Getting to it was a challenge...
went up to the abandonded factory on a mp server and we were fighting zombies for hours
11:58 I live there in my CDDA run I live in the church and have a Wall around It the other building ist apart of it I almost survived Winter and can fish
oooh thats awesome!!
I made my best base at baseball factory in louisville
Unpopular opinion: riverside school it’s mostly gated, and it’s near a gigamart and the central markets
Imagine if you could drive the ferry. That would be the ultimate base.
Would be awesomeee!!
now a lot of unique location are not as safe as you imagined. The fence can be damaged by the zomboid now so a lot of location are not safe anymore.
Fences are still unbreakable until build 42, and even then, its a sandbox option!

Are there M16 rifles, magazines and ammo in the army store?
I could only find the magazines for them in survivor houses.
I'll take a look!
Big open spaces are my favorite!
good video

Lots of bases, lots of chances for rooftop farms

what is the map mods man ? that's cool to see the building just opening the map
hi thats just a website called 'Project Zomboid Map Project' ... Unfortunately not a mod cause that would be awesome!!
@@Awpenheimer oohh, aight thanks about the infomation man !
NOPE. the small rural houses near the river and the BOAT are the only viable solutions longterm. u ncant PRAY for rain or snow to get water. A river provides water and food for a very long time. more then u can "live". Their close proximity to a gas station and isolation plus the mats nearby make them perfect for base builders. As a nomad or temp outpost yah there are many options. for a base u need WATER.
There are mods that let you either build wells or tankers for water/gas/gasoline
rain barrels?
Rain barrels are a thing, and I don't know what your character eats but a quick trip to any supermarket or small neighborhood will keep you fed for weeks.
@@hokagab true. but technicly ur rebuilding a small comunity. of 1 or more. primitive pre techciv are build next to water. Ur barell makes u rain dependant. a river gives water, fish etc.
