I decided that I wanted to turn on wandering hordes plus Z levels, so i transferred my character over to a reset world. Spawned in the middle of nowhere next to an empty cave, which I immediately made my base.
Not gonna lie, a cheated a bit to add some utility lights. I don’t know how i’m gonna light up the area below, because I would’ve just did the thing I usually do and just make a “vehicle” that’s just solar panels and vehicle utilities + lights to make my base a home.
While I was waiting for the hordes to pass I amassed a bunch of construction items beforehand and just built furniture, living off of my stockpiled food and underground water pump I made.
