If I build in a house will zombies respawn in/around it?

[Malogska]

The game allows you to build window barricades and such, that in fact can be crafted onto windows on pre-made structures, if I start building in a house, will zombies still be able to respawn in and/or around it? I wouldn't mind attacks occasionally but wouldn't want to spawn in on a bunch of zombies every time I reload the game or come back to base. Any help is appreciated! :)

I'm also wondering this and if it's ideal to have a home base or if this is the type of game where you never really settle anywhere

Yes, but building a Spawn Point Sign Post and then activating it will stop regular zeek spawns in/around your base area.

But Wandering Hordes will still spawn near you regardless of the Sign Post. They will spawn inside your base if your walls are too far away. They will path towards if they spot / hear you, otherwise the destroy the nearest things you built.
There are threads talking about this with suggestions to limit them destroying much. Dev has also made some fix's so they shouldn't spawn when your not home, etc.

Multiple Sign Posts do not work, only 1 is active at a time.

You can build above ground, it uses some interesting physics defying glitches, but possible and hassle free. Again more threads taking about this.

Good luck, have fun

No they don’t spawn in the house if you put a sign post down in that area, but they will wander to your location on occasion, so will bandits.
