QOTW: When fighting the Bloodmoon do you have 2 separate bases?

Sometimes I build a small base that lasts me a long time, and I improve it over time while observing zombie behavior. Other times I don’t build anything at all and only start building something proper when I move to the wasteland. I don’t like making separate bases, because if I’m worried that my base won’t survive a horde and I’ll lose my stuff, that just means there’s something I need to improve so I prefer to do it properly and build it solid from the start. Besides, I prefer having everything in one place.

At what levels would the different Biomes make sense to built a Horde base in?
This game, I've only ventured into the other Biomes to complete the challenges.
when (at what levels) do the different Biomes really shine?

i keep trying to have a bloodmoon bugout but every time i either end up fortifying my base or finding myself out in the field. i play on ten-day increments and still never have enough time

All of the above, plus "no base", depending on how I feel.
There will be a place with workstations. It might just be a clearing in the field with minimal storage.
Typically I fix up a building to use as a crafting/storage base.
I often fight the hordes in the open without using a base.
I might improvise a horde base out of a recently quested POI or a remnant.
I might build a horde base somewhere near a crafting base.

I dont ever do 1 base and a horde base! My base is the horde base and I build a compound style base and try to make it as normal as possible im not a fan of grand flying bases

Until I head to the Wasteland, I only have a "camp" with workstations and some farming. Perhaps a small building for the weather and a cistern for water and washing up.
Once there, I build a megacomplex with the crafting/storage facility connected via a good sized bridge & drawbridges to the horde processing building.
My problem is what to do with the first 10 or so horde nights before I start building with concrete.
I generally hide in a tall enough building. Not always a success, and very boring, but it works more often than not.
I play on Insane, and am mostly melee, so I'm not sure what I can build/do to do something with those earlier bloodmoons. I suppose I could turn the difficulty down just for the horde and build a structure to fire arrows from.
I'm currently also messing with shorter daylight. This feels very weird!

You may know this - there are ways to do melee blood moons, but I don't know how much damage the zombies do on insane to cobblestone or iron, even on the first blood moon. Look at the gate around the fields in Fiery Farms for the sledgehammer/club setup, that could also work for spears. Only jumping spiders occasionally get through so be prepared for that. And as mentioned...depends if you can/have to repair.
