For those little outposts you build outside the fort. consider using HQ's instead of warehouses. they serve the same purpose as a warehouse but has 9k HP instead of 3k. with the added benefit you can insta spawn a squad in them that wont run out of bullets.
The tower guards refill the ammo through out the day so if you take them all out of the towers before they refill it…. No Ammo. Let them refill their ammo before you reassign them. There is more micromanaging this way but otherwise you can get hosed.
The only issue with that is then it becomes very micro manangy with more of an excess of people its just better to leave them in. Ima try to work on my timing tho with removing them and adding them back in.
23:00 You send them outside for wood, but you did not build a gate so they can have it closer. They just swim all the time. Best play with 6 squads now.
I have a couple of tips that I learned by playing this game first your people can drive and cross barbed wire you can put them in front of your gates also fortified gates have a lot of health 3,000 they can take a lot of beating you can put them inside of your compound and have them as watchtowers and you can put that specifically where the infected with attack also whenever there's an attack spread your squads out a little bit let's just say the HQ the warehouse the cooked house spread them around so they can cover more area I love this getting so much but this seriously need to fix the AI squats these fuckers have a car and they still walking foot to the HQ
I do feel like they need to add some way to get wood more long term. Like maybe a tree farm of something, so long term survival bases don’t just become unviable due to lack of wood.
Bro, how did you got so many foods? Please help me here, my population is 156 people and same base as yours and they are dying for insufficient foods, I have sent my squads to almost all building there is on the map and the way I can only get rss is to scout another map I guess if that was what you call, and almost everytime I sent my squads, It's either they live or die and get rss before they die, my squads always die and in that consequences my vehicle is stuck there and also the rss that my squad scavenge that died is also stuck there. I have increase the farmers andI'm still not having much food, the foods are only I can produce in a day is either 5-10 or 5-30 if I sent my squad to scout in other maps but I also suffer heavy consequences, and also hordes and those zombies dogs are pain in the ass, they keep attacking me twice every night and my day is 61 btw, because of that it's so hard to move my squads since I need to kill them in my forts manroe buildings to continue my work.
Make sure you have a hq or warehouse near your cookhouses to speed up the time it takes for them to grab materials/drop off the food also you may need more cook houses depending on the size and or how many people work in your current cook house also how far your people live from work plays into there walking to work time.
@@KnightOps-KO It's very close, I have put my HQ, and cooking house, farm, and alsmot everything close. It's like a little square formation house thing. But the problem is I already max out my farm and my cook house and still haven't been they able to produce much needed to keep my workers from dying
I have like 4400 can food...I am pretty sure my workers fight the cannery for rations. Do workers eat rations before can food? I think so from what I see. I have about 8 cook houses and the cannery is always saying they need rations. 4k meat 5k grain. I had to close some barns and farms. I am glad my workers dont belong to a union :p
I am on day 353.... 44 days of food...0 wood.....lol 3,000 bricks. I am building brick walls to get rid of bricks... Killing my storage. Can we eat bricks?? nope. Game needs balanced.
I may or may not have seen this on others play throughs: is it possible to just build a gate into an existing wall just by placing it? It seems like its blue when its over a complete wall but turns red when trying to place it in a too small gap. I understand you've batched the episodes, so this is just for my info, but i feel like I've seen someone do that rather than building the gate, then filling in the walls.
It works like that for me. Sometimes, I'll even use it to delete walls without having to wait for the deconstruction when I'm expanding my perimeter. You can also drop one on blueprinted walls, so you can have it all in a straight line if you want.
You do need to place a medical facility somewhere in the base for recovery purposes as well as placing some barb wires along the coast in the northern part of the base
There's a button when you click the squad that looks like two arrows pointing in 2 different directions click that and then click the HQ or Warehouse right after it should show your squad panel and the inventory panel open at the same time then you drag the meds onto the portrait of the injured person or drag the gun to there gun slot to swap guns.
If you leave one entrance open that should make most of the infected go towards that point since they see it as unblocked. It has worked for the most part in my game. Some times they will still go rouge and just attack where ever and sometimes I swear I think groups spawn INSIDE my base. They just show up at a spot and start attacking a building and Im like WTF where did they come from?
You seriously need a second or third vehicle, just so you can do some more long range recon. It would be sweet if you could find either the delivery truck or an APC. Although I guess I would settle for a pick up truck or car, just not the car you got slaughtered in. That car seems to attract death to anything you bring over there. lol Have a Great one!!!
You could improve your playthroughs by building more HQs at all areas the infected attack. Then you just delete armies where they are no longer needed and build them at an HQ under attack. Its basically teleporting defense.
About the car up north that is damaged; Is it possible to use a squad to do the repair. Drive a squad up there, disband half of it close enough so they can be assigned to repair it. ( have not played yet to know if it will work)
😂 idk what to call them bc the item image is a AK but the actual image of the gun is a Armalite style rifle. So I'm just like F it and calling it the general usage term for a fully automatic rifle of AR 😅
It will be interesting to see if your game makes it to the point where you can produce sniper rifles. EVERY game I’ve played starts crashing constantly before I can even try to get the sniper rifles or shotguns. I’m growing frustrated with the game crashing somewhere between turn 60-80.😢
Hi, I like your videos. I recently hit about 360 population and had 3 HUGE hordes in a row. Is was like 14-20 plus full groups and 2-4 day walkers. I disbanded everything and made dozens of squads, mostly any above 6 were only pistols due to only have enough AKs for my primary 6 squads and I survived. Now it has been many days maybe up to 10 and only 1 or 2 hordes and the random day walker... do you think I made it past what the game would think is like a final battle? Now I have 30+ extra Aks and a dozen or so snipers and shotguns and 100+ extra pistols with 400 crates of ammo and I am no longer being attacked.
That was interesting… I hadn’t seen that before… at the end of this episode, when you lost the SE warehouse, you had your squad go in and out of the building to fight the infected that you thought were in there. Thing is, they WERN’T in the building, they had taken to ground in the shadow of the building. Very interesting behavior.😮
@@KnightOps-KO I’m sorry, does “huh” mean you don’t know what I’m talking about or that you just realized what had happened? Let me know if you want me to clarify.🤷♂️
Dude, I was just playing on my game and I went back to that car that got destroyed a few days ago just to see if there was anyway to get the stuff out. I went up to the car to try to use the exchange button but I noticed that there was a progress bar starting up just like when you first find a car and you are hot-wiring it. So I waited to see what would happen and I'll be damned if they didn't fix the destroyed car just enough to could split the squad and drive it back to the base. Try it on your game with your lost car. @knightops
Don't forget to put your barb wire down along that north bank
Barbed wire unfortunately gets destroyed pretty easily, unless I'm missing something.
@@someperson2287 I just mentioned it because he said he wanted to put some on that north bank. I honestly don't know how fast it gets destroyed

I thought when you built another HQ it would move your current one. Thank you for the info!
@@KnightOps-KOi thought so too i tried relocating my HQ and now i have two HQ near each other well atleast i have 4 more squad cap

Yea its a mistake I've been making
You realize d-day reference is mowing down Americans and Allies running up the beach? Right?
Yeaaa? 😂
@@KnightOps-KO you’re a funny guy
When a Government Fortress turns into a Armed Farmer Base.
Fr 😂 only if there was trading become a framer for the apocalypse
looks like you need to keep a minimum of one guard per tower or gate to get ammo resupply during the day
The only issue with that is then it becomes very micro manangy with more of an excess of people its just better to leave them in. Ima try to work on my timing tho with removing them and adding them back in.

keep watching 😂 Youll also see my mistake that almost cost me half the fort 😂
i'm not fully through the video yet, but i'm loving when they towers absolutely melt them lol
edit: that was CLOSE 😳😂😂
😂😂 yea having a bunch of ARs with them swimming is a great combo 😂

Tree regrowth is in the next major patch. They are also adding tree planting at some point down the line.

Yes, you can build a wall and place a gate directly on it later. I don't think it works for Medieval Walls, though.

Hey Knight ops how do i apply medical aid and swap weapons from the warehouse to my squads i still dont know how to do it and its driving me insane

I just thought of the best defense strategy if you have a ton of people just make all the walls out of fortified gates
Yea 😂
Or just have a hole in the wall so all the zombies go to the hole and put hundreds of towers there
@thematrix1200 ill have to test it bc I think depending on where they come in from they may agro to somewhere else
@@KnightOps-KO well I have seen in your videos and other videos of fort monroe the zombie always seem to target the holes in the wall
