Good Place for Base in PvE ?

[Pater Brown]

Hello!
I search for a good location for a base in PvE single player.
My settings are (UseMapBasedBuildingRestriction=0), so i can build in towns. An ideal place for me is some industrial area (not guarded by sentries) with a workshop(for craftng) and warehouse (Including room for a lot of closets and a place to park my cars).
I dont want to build miles of walls, so i want to include the builings and existing walls as part of my defense.
My current base is in Tijat (A2), there i closed a few streets with walls and doors and fortificated the surounding houses. But i have to fill several houses with closet and have no car park.
Places i already found, but are not perfect for me:
- Samobar City: Factory at south-east (too close to gas station, bombing puppets can spawn)
- Samobar City: Firefighter Base (to big for single player)

any ideas or suggestions ?!

If you play SP, theres no need for defence. Build anywhere do anything, no one will bother you...,

it is not about NEED for defence, it is about building a cool looking base with everything i want (room for closets, car park, workshop, nice base layout)
i know i can just build everything on an open field, put closet on any street .... but that is immersion breaking for me

Well honestly, you can build where ever you like if you are playing in single players, you can even switch out some settings and build in towns and bunkers if you like. There is a lot of possibilities and I would personally recommend a prebuilt house with few extra areas close to few bunkers. :)

I'd suggest : The Hospital, or the Gradec Mali. They're both awesome looking, and close to intersting spots for everything.

I haven't changed any puppet settings in my singleplayer and I have never seen a bombie spawn at the Samobar gas station. The compound near it should fit your criteria.

One of the best spot for me is in the big city just right in between the boarders of C3, C4, D3, D4. I build just behind the supermarket. There you can easily grab metal. You also have the warehouse+gas station next to each other. In the city there are 3 gun shops, 1 police station, school (with gun/ammo loots), and the football stadium with tons of loot. The only thing that sucks is that its super laggy there. On my pc i get about 45-55fps there on epic settings which is still playable for me but i dont know how it will be for you.

The second place I like to build is between the factory and airbase near the b2-b3 area. Gas station will be some ways away but not too bad. You will have a nice flat space to build a whole time if you want. Only downside is that there arent too many houses near those 2 monuments.

last is probably the most typical place to build and that is the small town left of that airbase on b2/b3. Its pretty smacked in between everything.

I haven't really build in the snow, but thing good thing about single player is that you can build anywhere without worrying about grievers, therefore, you can just build multiple houses as you travel. anyways cheers mate and happy hunting.

For 0.5 i build a cave base with dock for my boats.
Tip: Puppets should not spawn inside of flag radius. If there are bomber puppets that annoy you, just put a flag down, and they should stop spawning.

I was actually thinking the same thing. Go into the city, search a nice and cozy area and align a bunch of flags where you want to live. Didn't have time yet but that's going to be my next project. Who needs a base if you can have an entire district.

Thanks you all for your suggesstions!!

i dont know these places? do you mean:?
- Hospital that thing in C4 ( Sanitarium / direct south of Samobor)?
- Gradec Mali ?? Some shop in Samobor?

A good place for exploring the map is in or close to Spickovina (B2), perfect in the middle, falt ground surrounding that town, policestation, car spawn, gas station close by, workshops .....
But sadly for me no option (no way of building a base with a nice layout including a lot of bigger buildings)

I didnt know that! i will try it, if it works for me, too that would be wonderfull!!


I will show some screenshots of my base i a few days! or how long i will need to be happy with it ;)

Hardware and clothing stores as well.

I promised some pictures of my base and here they are!
Not all finished yet, no campfire, fountain and small details, but you can see the main layout and the ideas! It is placed in Samobor City, south-east corner, next (east) to the gas station.
Remember, this is a PvE base. The layout is build realism in mind: good defense against puppets, safe entrance.

Main entrance (uses an already existing metal gate)
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2456207726

Double gate with a killing area between to let cars in without puppets
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2456208400

and this killing area even has a reception, if you get human vists
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2456212410

Using a garage for the cars (need more...)
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2456208587

Warehouse with a lot of cupboards (i like my stuff sorted, really really sorted)
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2456208848

Courtyard for some overview
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2456209180

little details for the walls:
i really like the double layers of stone wall with barbed wire and then the higher wooden enforced one

Yes, you have the Sanitarium south of the city. Gradec Mali is the Castle/Mansion in D1. It's a good spot (had a base very close to it in MP), but quite far from a lot of other places unless you have a car or if you don't mind walking.

I think the castle ruins in B3 would be a really cool spot to have as a base! Especially since you have base building restrictions off.

On NightKingdoms website (link below) you can find all kinds of interesting locations on the map. It is getting updated regularly.
It's got the names of all the places (Factory, sanitarium etc), town/village names according to the road signs on the island, sector + keypad and on the right hand side a quick copy teleport button - you just click on it and then CTRL+V it into the chat box and it will teleport you.

(keypad for those who doesn't know is if you think of your numpad keyboard as an overlay over a sector you'll have keypad 7,8 and 9 on top, etc)

If you want to search for something just hit Edit top left "find on this page" and bottom left type in a keyword such as: gas station, gas pumps, cabin, castle, Weapon factory etc

We're building just south of Spikovina in a field for many of the reasons you mentioned. It is also fairly centralized on the map so we can go after more air drop containers.

One downside (or upside depending on your weapons) is we settled right next to an animal spawn point. There are usually several wolves close by. We are well stocked on meat and leather.
