I was pulling down Hay earlier and realized that If I pulled the ladder up with me and blocked the entrance with a couple bales, that this would be a pretty decent place to spend the night if SHTF. Now in my case, the hay loft doesn’t really look like one due to it being built above a 10x10 kennel used to raise chicks , etc. BUT, it would still be an effective hideout from zombies. too high for them to reach and enough room to make into a base.
thinking about the in game size of a barn, the hay loft would be about the size of one half of the ground floor of the barn.
Been there. Did that. I had 6 full large quivers of wooden bolts and my new Pnuematic Bolt Driver. Wanted to level up my marksman and rifles. Worked quite well ;).
On a note of the Z levels going up. I just want to see what happens when they collapse ;). I tend to end up knocking down at least 2-3 buildings in a small town, for the nails and rocks.
