Mist Survival (alternative base)

[SouledOut]

the white house with the tower is popular choice i agree - however, the gas station is located just about in the middle of where everything important is. Three quaters of that bulding property is defended already by fence, chicken fence the front to the gas pump awning and connect it to the fence. build a fence with ladder on the otherside of the awning, to use to climb up on top of the building- what..yeah..its also smart to build a cabin up there on the roof (hello) craft during Mist..craft at night, find the forge..level up to mine..stop wasting your bullets..and Craft, Forge, Mine,Forge, Distill water, Kiil Bears - build a cabin near a bear spawn..you need food and one piece of bear meat fills your bar. Its Called Survial for a reason, crafting enables one to Survive. think outside the box..your going to have to do a lot to accomplish a lot. dont expect thing to do the way you want them to..Make It Happen..Not Make Excuses..this game is badassery..it makes you think about your decisions before execution.

As I just spent the last day being mauled by bears from the multiple spawnpoints near that gas station (including one that spawned INSIDE the gate) I recommend to everyone

DO NOT EVER BUILD AT THE GAS STATION

Being actually in and on top of the station is nice, but anytime you need to go out, say to get some water, you are taking the risk of being killed by the bears. It gets very annoying very fast. PS. Zombies also can spawn on top of the gas station. I've seen it twice already.

I build my base at the barn tons of room just block off the openings with gates or a wall

Yeah I started there too, but decided against it and restarted the game staying in the White House. The bear does get to be annoying after a while, you need him to survive, just not so close to you all the time. April Sunshine's right.

we agree that our game play varies..which is great considering the knowledge exchanged. i dont mind that area..beings the mine is behind the barns..and the barns are withing walking distance. i know of no one who claimed an infected spawned inside a gated area..then no place is safe..not even your spot. no way in hell can a bandit shoot you ontop of the station..nor can a bear or infected get to you there. even with the garage gated off across the front..you can use your shield and spear (for reach factor) and kill bears, and infected and check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKbiSHzk8Qc old man Ziggy G has a video of exactly what im claiming. but then again, there are those who just suck at LIFE and games

The wood yard is good. Has Anvil, Furnace, saw bench and the garage near by has a work bench. Pick up the work bench and take it to the wood yard and you have a lot of the hard work done. Also a lake near by.

a lot of great ideas for base camp..i like options indeed..Mist is a fun game to play..and i typically never play these types of games. this one i like.

I have tended to build at the cabin just down the road from the gas station, but I have just been trying to add a fence there and its pretty useless due to the uneven ground- it had not occurred to me that the fence pieces wouldnt work unless the ground was flat...

I dont suppose it matters too much unless the bandits looting our camps gets reactivated- I was thinking about moving everything of value to the gas station and building a fence there- so it is good to know that the bear spawn points make that useless too.

Im not quite sure what to do now there is a cabin on fairly flat ground across the road and up the hill quite a way- but I have a lot of gear to shift its going to be tedious.

Why on earth dont the fences work on uneven ground- they dont clip to each other either.

well..its possible..your trying to do something, the game dev hasn't intended. because honestly- this isnt Day Camp Simulator..and if Meat is needed to survive (and one bear will last you a week) why NOT a bear spawn site..and the ONLY way to get salt (to cure the meat so it dont spoil) is from infected you kill (why not near a infected spawn site) i believe the problems people are having in this "Toddler" game..is because they play, as if they were at a weekend retreat. only chicken sh*ts play so carelessly - but whine in discussions or on YT content in comments. i or anyone else here CAN NOT PLAY YOUR GAME FOR YOU..your game play is based on decisions you make..and your decision making, might be the reason why your game play sucks for you. not being mean..just being point blank with Real Truth.

Wow... you ask a question then rant at people who answer it.

The petrol station isnt one of the devs pre-marked bases so Ive no idea why you assume the dev intended it to be a base. In fact the it has a spawn point inside its fenced area seems to suggest it isnt meant to be a base.

It is also unclear why you assume "we" are not hunting bear. You can hunt bear without setting up home in their den! Its nice to be able to choose when you hunt rather than have the decision thrust upon you when you have other stuff you want to do... there is a huge map to explore after all.
It can be a pain to have to waste ammo and kill yet another bear when you already have plenty of salted meat and nowhere to hang the extra or not enough salt to salt it.

Back to topic, guys...😉
Because now you can build your own big houses (Hunting Cabins A, B, C) you can choose to build at any place you like.
Alternative bases are everywhere in this case. 😉
If you prefer to be in the middle of the map, then you should take a look at Doctor_Dentist's Map here on website at "Guides" and so build your own House at the left side of the big lake...

Its not entirely true you can build anywhere, it needs to be flat enough. It can be tricky to tell that as well because the green outline is half built after you place it- so as you wander around it after its a bit hard to be sure its on the ground all the way around (obviously its a top down view as you place it).
There are a few places that are nice and flat but many tend to be quite near the pre-made bases.

I did shift my stuff up to the pre-made cabin on the hill to the east of the petrol station and motel. Its a bit of a trek for water (not too bad if you have a pile of bottles- Im considering carrying the water barrel down and filling it completely at the lake- but it feels a bit like a cheating idea LOL), its not far to hunt bear and zombies. It is a huge flat area to build on.

So far I have added a few more small huts and cabins, and a blacksmiths. Im still working on a big cabin and of course the fence. It such a big area to build you can easily ignore the pre-made cabin and still fit a base there.
