PC What is your favorite POI or Location to make a Base in Alpha 20?

[Laz Man]

I've always been hesitant about building in a POI since they get reset when a quest is there, and I don't know which POIs are unable to be targets of quests since I'm relatively new.

For horde nights I build myself a nice big 7x7 square concrete bunker with a single entrance. I dig-out a 4-block-deep dry "moat" with stairs out of it to funnel zombies to the single entrance, which is 2 blocks high. Around the rear is a ladder the zombies can't reach but I can that lets me get in, which is important because I have iron bars blocking the zombies from advancing to where I hide. Zombies funnel into the base, get stuck up against the bars, and I just mow them down with my 9mm Hipower pistol rounds.

Sometimes they crawl over the bars but they go slow enough while doing so that I can put a stop to that with my pistol.

Recently I started experimenting with traps, and I set up my bunker with a generator on top leading down to a pressure plate. The plate powers an electric fence and dart trap. I only set that up last night though so I don't know how well it'll work just yet. Hopefully I can test it out tonight!

I believe placing a bedroll and/or land claim block will prevent anyone from activating a quest on a POI.

My current playthrough I am using one of the burnt out markets (single story, I will try and get the POI name later) as my home base and converting the T1 PopNPIlls store into my horde base.  Also trying to go away from setting it up as primary melee.  Makes it tougher and trying to make sure I have ammo on hand to defend.

That is very good information to know, thank you for that!

I was exploring and found one of those grain silo POIs with like, 8 silos total. I bet those could be a very useful place to wait out a horde.
