PC Is your base your home?

My base is my home and I might build other smaller places near traders that are far away, I don't leave first base. I put furniture and plants, paint the floors. 

 
My home is also my base but it is rather spartan. I'm not big on decorating. So I only have a sleeping bag, my work stations and my storage boxes.

On the outside are 4 dew collectors and a garden next to my base for my crops.

 
Nope. Always 2 bases. But that is out of habit from back then when i started and got all my stuff destroyed. Until i figured out how to build functional horde bases it became a habit to build two separate bases. That allows to do experiments, you don´t want to test out things with all your stuff a few blocks away from the horde.

Also when playing  MP we have our base mom and we aren´t allowed to have horde night at the home base. 😛

My home is always my base, except early game which I usually just stash stuff in something like a shipping container or a small POI until I get resources to either build one or fix up a bigger POI I feel like doing hordes in, then I'll move everything inside there and make base

 
Depends a little, atm my base is couple hundred meters of tunnels, in the mountain I spawned at. My horde base for the first two hordes was about 5 blocks above my main storage area, a 2x2 wall of a melee position with absolutely nothing protecting my back. Pretty close calls both, fighting only with a stone sledge, second one had a random dire wolf in the mix, that was a little concerning :) ..

Next horde will be in a (future) "guard post" at the outer end of my exit tunnel, some 100m away and 40 meters down from the storage. But it's still all my base! :)

In less tunnely games, I don't bother with proper bases, I'll just make a meleeable position somewhere in the POI, with an ele fence keeping everything stunlocked.

 
I always stick to the base I build in front of one of the traders, but yes it is 4x4x4 cube on terrain level and a bigger floor straight under it where the stash and work tools are. and I usually mine beneath my base. for the harder times I add a cheese bridge to the roof and build some tent on top, put some shotguns to kill vultures and reload my machine-guns)))

 
Early game, I always build a simple elevated horde base for the first few weeks. My 'home' is typically just the rooftop of a POI. By mid game, my goal is to have an integrated home/horde base. Sometimes they are custom-built but often they are converted POIs.

 
I've never made myself a "home" in 7 Days to Die. My "crafting base" is either a rooftop in multiplayer or a converted caravan on my own. We did ONCE take over a house which was sort of more homeish, as we used the living room and kitchen spaces and stuff ... but somebody annoyed a bear, and the bear tore the door down, and we had to shoot the bear, and all the zombie neighbours beat the windows and walls down, then zombie cops showed up and one of them exploded, then this lady in white turned up and started screaming the house down, which meant more zombies... After that we stuck to rooftops.

 
I try and decorate as much as I can I try and make my bases look like they are real pois! But sadly most decor I want I can't craft lmao 

 
A bit of collapse prep, about 20x13x11 block to be dropped once I get the bottom out.., to become my main farming area.The guard post worked fine for a horde. And yes, the stone axe is the tool that is being used :)

You play on console? Hmm. I thought you are a PC player. Anyways, it´s a server side mod, and that should be possible on console once they get the option for dedicated and/or crossplay unless i understood that absolutly wrong.
I think that is all up in the air and depends on what negotiations with Sony and Microsoft end up allowing.

But I think it is likely to work for server side stuff.  Are decorations actually server side, though?  I haven't looked at that mod, but decisions usually require additional assets, which means they aren't server side. UBBI, for example want server side and if you didn't have those assets, you got that blue unknown block box.

No additional stuff, just things already in the game get a recipe to craft it.

 
Since 1.0, my first base near Rekt, is my primary and I tend to takeover a good POI near the trader as I move through biomes. Mainly for drop chest/campfires/bed rolls.

I keep all of my production except food at my primary main central forest base.

 
My family usually has a home base and a nearby horde base but since we recently moved to the wasteland we set our base at the top of a construction site  and are creating a gauntlet of death where the zombies travel up through the guts of the building being killed as they go so for the first time in a long time our base is also our horde night defense area.
