Turn a pre-existing house into my base

[Dog_Theft]

I saw a lighthouse, i want to live in it, is possible to do that?, another thing is zombies keep repawning inside that lighthouse, and i'm too lazy to built my own base.

You'll just need to put locks on the doors. It's been quite a while since I played with basebuilding restrictions on, but I'm pretty sure you can put a flag down (outside) in the case you'd want to build something.

Hello :),

In principle it is possible to build your home "anywhere", but the extent to which this is successful can vary. (For example, this is not recommended in an old bunker).

Making a base from one of the prefabs is possible in many places. It is important here to secure the base accordingly by placing locks and window barricades that make it difficult to break into the building.

As already described by MeanStreak, you can also place a flag in some places (in single player almost everywhere since the limits are deactivated), so in addition to a home you also have a land claim, which you can later expand the area if necessary.

Unfortunately now(0.9?) placing a lock does not prevent zombies spawning inside, as it did before. I used to have "safehouses" around the map in bigger towns, no it seems to be useless.

What's the idea?
Do we have to barricade every window and place locks in every door the building has to prevent zombies squeezing in somehow or magically spawn inside to have a sleep?
Or is this removed on purpose, so you can't use houses as a base, or is it a bug?
Whatever it is, it should be as it used to be.

It's a bug at the moment. The devs are aware.

I only place one window barricade in SP to keep them from spawning back inside. Haven't played MP for awhile now, so don't know if it is the same there.

It doesn't work, like AzzurF said, i put a lock (1 medium lock per doors) on every single doors in the house, blocking all windows, go to the supply drop near by, when i return two zombies are running around in the house because they hear my car engine.

Edit: i mainly playing single.

Hello, yes unfortunately it is a known bug right now. We are looking into the fix.
