Summer has arrived. I celebrated by fortifying all my spare clothing and sleeping in my overhauled flatbed, renamed ‘Industious’, and reading enough to recover any rust on my lesser skills.
Ive found a jack, and a pair of binoculars. Im exploring north right now, on the far side of the city. tbh as awesome as this base is in theory, I havent done much work on it at all, so if something strikes my fancy I might just not go back, even for all the rags/frames/whatever. There is a multicooker there, though . . . might want.
I even found a fire axe on a soldier, so I dont need that crappy stone one anymore!
Yea, not much reason to go back.
Back there, at the base, the wire fence is slowly being worn down by constant attacks upon it. It never stopped ants to begin with, and Zs can bang on it all day. Most of the corpses are cleaned up, but by no means all of them… Id estimate 70% of them. And that was a whole day devoted to looting, butchering, and processing that stuff.
Inside I havent done much more than lay down a rollmat, set up a fireplace, block the window’s LoS, and craft a few vehicles. A forge-bike, a welder-on-casters and a cargo-trunk on casters.
Might go back for the forge unit, tbh. oc thats assuming I even move. If the A.P.S. was a mini-base this is a bigger Semi-base. Im waiting for a food buddy and Ill be done with it. It will be able to anything that isnt chems or forging.
Yea, Im not too keen on the whole ‘nothing but houses as far in as Ive scouted all around me’ thing. Never raided a mall though, and there is on nearby . . . so note to self to raid it if I decide not to play.
A chicken walker was found within 15 tiles of the base. I found it rummaging through the house I was burning for nails. A decent guardian, if it stops from destroying my face.
