Sam's Storage Stuff - A20, Server-Side

Mahnogard said:
Thanks! To be fair, this is the cabin at bombshelter_md_01 and it's just one room that's already in pretty good shape. The only difference with A20 is that it now has a few zombo occupants whereas it was empty before. I use plates to make a loft in about 2/3 of the ceiling area (you can see the trellis that can be climbed to get up there) and the house itself only needs a few blocks repaired on the roof, plus the new back door. I only upgrade the house to cobblestone, because there's a wall around the property that's concrete with iron bars. If they breach that, I'm toast anyway. LOL That half-wall behind the sink / coffee maker is constructed from Sam's bookcases. 

On the new save I started last night, I'm going to build from scratch. I've played enough of A20 now that I think I can make the most of the new trim blocks and such, and working on that cabin for the millionth time (I love that POI) helped me "practice" a bit. 

90% of pretty is paint, and paint is SUPER cheap and easy to make from Day 1 these days. Back in the day of having to use the chem bench, oil, etc, I always freaked out about wasting any paint but now I just hit the campfire and make like 1000 and go nuts. I love paint. I do wish there were more "cleaner" paint textures available but I make it work. 

Building in this game is what I do. I love it. I use modded 3-hour days and I spend my morning looting / visiting the trader, and my evening working on my home. It's probably no surprise that most of my other favorite games are those with building: Ark, Conan, No Man's Sky... I love creating homes. :D  The main difference for me with converting a POI vs building from scratch is that if I start with an empty lot, I also start with blood moon turned off because I don't know how long it will take for me to figure out what I want to build and I don't like to be rushed.. LOL I know I could hole up in a POI for the first couple of hordes but I don't really like doing that. Sometimes I just leave it off, sometimes I turn it on after I get started. I love how the game gives me all these options for playing the way I want to.

Well, I'm not much of a builder myself, I just build simple 9x9 rooms inspired by Madmole's old A19 video lol, once I get enough materials, I just add more 9x9 rooms to extend the base in different directions. :D As for the horde nights, in my current gameplay I decided to switch to 14 days instead of 7 days. It helps a lot, gives you more than enough time not only to create a solid base, but also to level up enough to handle the horde easily, but somehow I still avoid spending horde nights at my base. I shared the story of how I spent my first horde night in my current gameplay here. But truth be told, if it wasn't for that little delay in the city, I would leave the base for the night anyway, just to avoid it taking any damage that would cost me more resources. The first hordes usually aren't that bad, so you don't even need a base to protect you for the most part. Well, usually... :D

If there's anything I learned from my chaotic 20s back in the day, it's this: If you know the people comin' to the party can't behave themselves, you have the party at someone else's house. :D

Haha, yeah, zombies party hard lol. Sometimes they are too needy and I have to troll them by hitting them with a steel axe and quickly closing the door on them just when they are about to hit back, so they always hit the closed door instead, that's too funny. :D

 
great mod. will add this to my server with friends to play. is the HP for these various containers same as the storage boxes too?

 
I really like the storage options. I missed the old fridge and storage from previous versions. I also like a lot of the tings from War of The Walkers, so I decided to install it and play again. But it was missing some storage options I liked so I installed this excellent mod. Unfortunately it broke all the WotW storage. Not ether mods fault I am sure, but would it be possible to make a patch or a WotW compatible version. (also uninstalling the mod does not fix WotW, and I am not sure what caused it, so no idea how to fix it)

It does recognize the old storage containers, but when I go to open them it just stops the game and doesn't bring up the inventory UI, just blank, until you hit Esc to 'close' the container. When I build new WotW containers it doesn't acknowledge that they are containers at all.

I second this, it breaks WotW for some reason.
