How many beds?

[SW00$h]

I am starting with my first playthrough of breakdown, and as the difficulty rises, i want to build my base for the highest efficiency. So how many beds do you need? Do you need for every survivor one bed or is it more like in real life where two people can share a bed in shifts. And what is the penalty of too few beds?

Thank you.

Sorry for your late reply.
1 Bed Post = 8 Survivors
I recommend 2 which is mean 16 Survivors or you can add 20 max.
Theres not really penalty except when Survivors with "Tired" on it stats may took 2 days or more to fully regenarated.

tired ppl also lose some of their stam so cant run away/fight aswell,

it all depends were you go first in BD as your first camp and if you plan to stay or just get to snyders as soon as poss, in BD i generally head to snyders asap and then make the base depending on what built in facilitys are there and at snyders youd want 2 bunks minimum.

beds are a luxury. If you got a bed for each person in your base, everyone gets +10 stamina, which is nice, but nothing that realy matters. I would always prioritise on other stamina related facilities that add other options, like a kitchen or a dojo.
But its still better then building a garden, a dinner place or a foot storage. Once you have researched everything in a library, its better to go for beds as well, since research carries over from one level to the other.

Nah, library generates 3 ammo from it's ability. Worth keeping around. Plus you get the XP bonus to wits, which more than pays for itself.

Thank you for your answers.

The library very rarely generated opportunities to train oustiders for ammo. I'd rather build another dojo, which i actualy did quite often, because dojos offer training opportunities almost all of the time.
Having high wits realy is only useful in my opinion, if you want to have a ninja, and directly train someone to become one. Else anyone in my core group of survivors that i took on the RV had wits 7 eventualy after playing 1-2 levels of breakdown.
And its only good to scavenge faster, and quieter, and maybe sneak a little faster if the survivors a ninja. A trait i never considered important, except for the beginning of a level, when i take my ninja to grab outposts fast.

First time play, i need around 3 -4 since i like to collect survivor. But after finished, max i only need 2, thanks to mod power lol.

reflexes are probably the easyest to survive long fights as the stam regen when maxed added to the other bonuses and get out of troube free moves like leapfrog pretty much make it impossable to kill them, still love my PH 2handeds but even when eating prior to a fight that stam when swinging and executing drains fast and you still need to make the animation of eating the snack without being hit and thats hard when being swarmed,

In general, you're going to want at least 12-15 survivors to secure a base. An upgraded sleeping quarters sleeps 8. From what I've seen, as long as you're not more than 50% over on survivor to beds (e.g. 8 beds, 12 survivors, 16 beds, 24 surviviors), they tend to mostly be rested. One-for-one would keep them all rested, but would reduce your ability to have other essential things built.
