What will you do with the Safe house Customization?

[I'll be the one]

Curious what will players want to do with the ability to modify their base.
As for me the base will have no dead bodies or clutter lying around.

[Bobywan]

Honestly, probably not much, execpt the dead bodies as you said, and the papers on the floor.
If it is possible to make stoves, or move them I would probably put them in more convenient places (like first floor for the double stove in camp office), same for bed closer to the door not to look for it on the second floor in the dark.

Probably finally use the Dam as a base. The only reason I haven't is because the massive clutter and layout.

I'm hoping we can carry containers from outdoor locations into our bases. I usually have a main base and in one of my lower difficulty games, I've run out of storage in it for all my loot. So looking forward to being able to create more containers. Hoping we'll be able to move containers around outside too. Then I can set up a cave or two in HRV with some storage.

As far as what I'll be doing, I'll be moving things, especially containers closer together and set them up so that I can better know what's in them and keep things more logically sorted at my bases.

[Bobywan]

I doubt we'll be able to move containers from outside to inside otherwise it would be pretty easy to harvest for wood.
But we'll probably be able to craft some.

What do you mean by "harvest for wood"? Most containers are either plastic or metal. And most of the wood containers are probably too large to realistically allow movement of them.

Let just say harvest for materials when possible then.

Honestly I'm not sure what I'll do with it since there is very little information available about what features it will contain.

• All we really know is that Hinterlands will allow moving of objects inside of indoors locations, so I assume this means we can clean up loose papers, corpses, overturned chairs, etc like others have mentioned.
  
• There also seems to be new furniture items being added based on content art released by Hinterlands, but it is unclear if these are furnishings we can find in the world (and hopefully move to new locations), craft, or acquire from the Trader or other sources.
  
• The Darkroom/Camera seems to possibly be a related feature to Safehouse Customization. I assume this means we'll be able to find cameras, film, and chemicals/tools to develop film, possibly hanging these photos we've taken up to dry/process or for decoration.

Clean up table and counter tops. Clear shelving of clutter. Generally clear up a lot of the trash and debris left on the floor.

Remove (or fix) unusable furniture like those file cabinets that were tipped over at an angle or tipped over and laying on the floor. Repair chests of drawers so all drawers now work.

Beyond the clean up, definitely more storage, if I can put more in. Upgrade some non-functional wardrobes into a more functional state, if possible.

A rifle rack in every base and a small cabinet for the ammo and cleaning kits. Also a rack for bows and a cabinet for the arrows.

Same for me!
Cleaning is more important than customizing IMO.
Only three craftable would interest me:
Rifle racks where it's missing
Bow rack, at last!
And food storage where food would not disappear when it reaches 0%. I don't like to drop food on the ground.

after a decade plus you still cant do something as simple as sit in a chair and your all talking about customizing a base

I hate games where you can sit in a chair ! I always sit as a missclick and I must endure the slow sitting/standing animations.
In this game especially chairs are meant to be harvested for fuel, so it would be tedious if you would sit instead...

I duno, I'd be all down for 'sitting' as a mechanic, though to be fair it probably wouldn't be very meaningful since most of the game is spent walking/sprinting or sleeping. Main issue with adding a system like that with actual mechanics (rather than just vanity effects) is it wouldn't really add much to TLD since there isn't a whole lot of crafting or basebuilding mechanics. For a different game with more emphasis on that, could see it being more meaningful.

There's actually already a "pillow" mod iirc for TLD, which basically adds that mechanic already, I think with some being unique items you can find in the world and other kinds craftable. Haven't played with it myself but have seen a few videos with other players with the mod.

They are talking about customizing a base because that is what the Original Poster asked about in the thread topic. Please do not try to derail the topic. If you want to talk about a different subject or issue , please create your own new thread, or post in an existing thread about that subject or issue.

Back to the thread topic now, please.

Thanks!

I just discovered that you can take Rüdiger’s skull from Bunker Omega with you. A great addition to my base.
