Well , most/nearly all Adults died to the virus.... and the kids just died of starvation or got eaten by the zombies. Simple solution and the most obvious one.
i think, if you want underground base like that, choose a mountain side. So you have already huge amount of natural tiles above you. Still strengthen your ceilings with couple blocks of reinforced concrete.
So the easy way is to walk to you and not dig.
I have a similar idea for a horde base ...
stupid question when we talk about defence designs... do we talk about 32 or 64 active zombies? Because that makes a HUGE difference.
Designs that work with 32 don't necessary work with 64.
I used the kill corridor with hatches for melee like Glock9 or Jawoodle did, but they use 32..... with...
Well, it's not like the request come from nothing... we had the clean windows that could be even opened already in the game. And then *poof* gone.....

i really should start a Nav game again to see the bridge.... just doing everything from my head, 20 alphas back, is not helping :D
Another idea... build on each side a wider canyon wall. Pretending it existed before, cobblestone or flagstone blocks. That way the support should reach far enough...
didn't play Navz for long time... but if i remember correct, even with Metal Trussing it is exactly 1 block too much from both sides. The middle block is the 16th block from each side. And no matter what you do, on 16 blocks it collapses. Only thing you can do is build a pillar up in the middle...
Exactly that's why... it is simple enough that the lowest potato understands it and survives the crucial first 2h ... the grind comes later ;)
Depending how low you set the start, you attract more or less people. All depends how much of the cake you as developer want to sacrifice for your...
while i am against unnecessary time sink, some time sink in the game is actually good. Take wet concrete for example. Do i get now iron, melt it, craft rebar frames or do i go cobblestone -> wet concrete -> waiting for drying -> reinforced concrete? Which is faster? Horde comes in...
depends... if i find ore underground i will have nice walls and a lot of upgraded wood frames as support in exactly same blocks distance..
Also different levels (4 high) with wood floor to mine comfortable .
In case the ore is direct below the dirt i tend to use open mines, but still dig...
Every mini game will be soon boring and then REALLY annoying. Imagine opening your 323 gun safe with a 15sec mini game.
There is a reason why there is a mod in Skyrim for Lockpicking.... because the mini game gets boring and not fun at all after the couple times.
I miss all the different blocks. Shape menu is easier on your inventory but feels cheaty.
Or the good old windows, that you could even open. Still miss them, and they where removed in Alpha 13....

Our light house looked awsome with them.
i play most of the time melee only. Mostly out of habbit from past alphas where ammunition was spare and rare.
Not with the sledge , as i feel it is too slow. I use the clubs.
Already in Alpha 17 there where complains that clubs animation looks and feels horrible. It got worse in Alpha 18...
