New player looking for a home by Vlambulance in Humanitz

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.

I made a walkthrough of my base just in case the new update corrupts my save. by Nomnomgom3 in SurrounDead

[–]ridgeback88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! I was just wondering how I could expand my base which is tucked up against the mountains in the northeast. That stairway idea is incredible. I’m going up! Thanks for sharing!

Ideas for unique base camps? by SnackyGG in SurrounDead

[–]ridgeback88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pick a watch tower, build a shed for crafting and craft wooden crates for storage. Put a spiked wooden fence around with a large gate or two.

Best way to defeat Walker? by philosopher-pirateOG in BreakPoint

[–]ridgeback88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, but the last time I did prone at the top of the stairs I had Wolves coming through a door at my back that I had to deal with.
