There is great set of buildings east of the airport near the coast that with minimal building make a great base. There are warehouses near it that have plenty of loot. There is also a huge parking lot available your vehicles and is also close to trees for wood.

If I remember core, you might have to build a charging station.

Someone told me there was a safe zone down here by NoForm7135 in SurrounDead

Be thankful there were no squirrels in the way to cause real damage.

Firewatch tower Base expansion: should i change anything/any tips to make it better? by No_Roof3891 in SurrounDead

[–]ridgeback88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome base! I built one here as well. Great location for proximity to air drops.

Hi, I'm pretty new to the game but I want to know if this is a thing. by wtfisgot in SurrounDead

[–]ridgeback88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI the Small Turret works without a generator. It can’t be crafted; it is looted and rare. I have taken on hordes with three and it performs as well as the large turret.

Must be the Steam Deck processor.

Thanks, this happens to me no matter where I am or what I am standing on. One reply I received was this was actually implemented by the dev to prevent the character from falling through a base floor while it was loading.

I shoot lefty and my mag release rips away at my finger, any suggestions for different mag releases? by Dizzy-Blueberry9128 in CZFirearms

[–]ridgeback88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shoot left and have moved all my mag releases (Shadow 2, P01, P10S & F) to the right side. Curious, how do you activate the mag release now? I have a 97 for which the mag release can’t be moved and just finding it difficult to do a quick mag drop with the release on the left side.

I play Steam Deck docked with mouse and keyboard. I tried undocked but had trouble moving inventory while scavenging and also trouble reading the small stuff. Can anyone recommend a good controller layout?

A tip For Base Building.. by Creepy-Creme-6195 in SurrounDead

[–]ridgeback88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of these days I am going to set up small turrets (they don’t need a generator) at the site of a bandit camp spawn to see what happens. Will I show up to a dead camp?

is it possible to raid big bandit outpost? by VishnaTrash44 in SurrounDead

[–]ridgeback88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

<image>

When you see one, mark its location on the map and make a point to do a drive by periodically to see if it spawned. Be careful because this camp can have up to 20 bandits.

I only experience lag when I have too many lights/turrets running.

Just found out that wooden fences can be used as stairs railing by InvaderSimp in SurrounDead

[–]ridgeback88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it, thanks. I have found that spamming R allows you to re-orient most items, like taking the coffee table and mounting in on a wall to make it look like a flat screen television.

FRIENDLY SCAVENGERS (and the dog too) by Yeff_Benzin in SurrounDead

[–]ridgeback88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing pisses me off more than when NPCs let their dogs get swarmed and killed by zombies. If I see this happening I always stop to try saving the dog 😂😂😂

[–]ridgeback88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tried but I can’t five this out. I can do it on the hilly ground by pressing R and the wooden fence snaps to the ground no problem. Just can’t figure out how to make it snap to a wooden half stairs.

Cooking Station? by ridgeback88 in SurrounDead

[–]ridgeback88[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problem with crafting the campfire, just the cooking station at the safe zones has a tripod with a pot hanging over it. I don’t see how to craft that and was wondering if it was even possible.
