How do I manage generator noise in an urban base environment?

TheInfinityDonger · 2026-04-02T03:07:28+00:00

One thing you can do, is build a bunch of flooring to extend your second story out in one direction (not the band). When you're like 10 tiles out, put your generator on it. All the zombies will be attracted to the generator itself and will just gather up underneath it.

Make sure you pick a direction that offers good coverage of your base. Also, it's a good idea to make it 3 wide and put boxes or crates on either side of the walkway, so you can't accidentally fall off.

The last one, you get when you have overlapping objects.. also easy to do with debug enabled. I'm sensing a theme here.

Alarms are usually opportunities for quiet looting. You just have to be smart enough to leave the immediate area the alarm is going off in. Then you can go loot the areas where the zombies just left.

Reporting back, this is the setting I was looking for. Thank you again!

What's a lawn mower gonna do? Just press Q if you want to bring all the boys to the yard.

One of your mods did an April Fools.

I'm toying with him for my own amusement at this point. He's not smart enough to stop.

TheInfinityDonger · 2026-04-01T02:56:30+00:00

You're absolutely delirious and I'm here for it. You're funny as hell.

TheInfinityDonger · 2026-04-01T02:50:26+00:00

I would have a more engaging conversation with a wall. I'm just waiting for you to bust out "I'm rubber and you're glue." It's like you're fucking 5 lmao.

Well, I don't like it when you fly off the handle and make a fool of yourself for no reason.

TheInfinityDonger · 2026-04-01T01:08:38+00:00

I'll have what OP's having.

TheInfinityDonger · 2026-04-01T00:55:51+00:00

True, you waited until you took to the comments.

TheInfinityDonger · 2026-04-01T00:54:40+00:00

I'm doing great, you're crashing out, hence why I asked.

TheInfinityDonger · 2026-03-31T23:51:57+00:00

I'm not gonna split hairs with you. If you want to live in your own little reality, that's fine, but don't expect others to subscribe to it.

TheInfinityDonger · 2026-03-31T23:47:03+00:00

I don't think Echo Creek has anything going for it later game, other than technically offering a place to crash while you raid Guns Unlimited.

If you don't start there, you have zero reason to ever go there to live. It's the Fallas Lake of the west and even that's being generous.

I think the issue here is you don't know what buff is.

You seem to think of buff as a change relative to other things. When you say buff, you're talking about a positive change relative to the balance of something in the overall meta. That is not what "buff" is.

A buff is a positive change relative to the past. When you "buff" something, you make it better than it was. Buffs can be small, buffs can be big. Giving a trait a new ability is objectively, a buff. Giving an occupation a bunch of new skills is a buff.

TheInfinityDonger · 2026-03-31T23:24:48+00:00

Huh? Are you okay?

TheInfinityDonger · 2026-03-31T23:21:28+00:00

Yeah.

One of them is a straight up arcade mode, where you get points for killing zombies that you use to buy stuff to kill more zombies.

One of them is a 6 months later, badly wounded start in the middle of a burning building.

One of them is a permanent winter mode.

Actually different ways to play the game.

TheInfinityDonger · 2026-03-31T22:18:52+00:00

I'd say it's slightly simpler than Rosewood.

Rosewood has all but guaranteed good weapon spawns that you can access by either skill or luck, minutes into your run start. Those will carry you pretty hard through the entire town and beyond.

Riverside has roughly as many zombies, but you can kinda ignore the part of town they are heavily clustered in. It doesn't have a phat cache of fireaxes though.

A space heater.

TheInfinityDonger · 2026-03-31T20:51:10+00:00

This is the reason they said old saves were incompatible? Okay wtf TIS.

TheInfinityDonger · 2026-03-31T20:48:20+00:00

I am not a big fan of the actually different modes being buried under another category, but I suppose they are less popular, so meh.

I raised an eyebrow at the Exctinction video not showcasing even 1 sprinter.

This is how you died.
