Why remove blocking doors with furniture?
Honestly i got very frustrated to see that in build 42 they removed the feature of blocking doors with furniture, i found it very unlogical and a big nonsense, i know that they want us to focus on actual improvement to base defense like planks or metal sheets but this feature was so simple and logical yet they removed it in a game where it's supossed to be realistic and give you freedom of survival, and also it was pointless to remove it since it's still possible to block the door and stuff like that if you simply put the furniture a tile away from it, making it feel more like i'm playing some old beta where blocking doors with furniture wasn't a thing, i'm not trying to say the build is bad i'm just giving trying to say that i felt like it feels unrealistic and annoying that you can't do this anymore.

It's probably a feature they plan to add back in during unstable. May be related to the fact that doors have an open/close animation now.

Exactly this. Cars, trucks, and vans still have quite the list of uses in B42 Unstable that they did in B41.

To add to the comment by our fellow Survivor, @Nordil(Hun), we can even use automobiles to create kill boxes and death funnels. While not 100% "water-tight" if zeds crawl under the vehicles, they are nonetheless obstacles to slow down the horde.

yeah it really impedes your ability to put a chair in a changing room to sleep, if you could sleep on chairs anymore that is.

The long corridor behind the door also deals with crawlers:) they can crawl in and out, meaning they wont hide under the car.

A single-tile alley? That is a great location for the purpose! 😄 👍👍👍
