Building Bases

In DayZ Epoch survivors have the option to build their own bases, from scratch or building onto an existing building. So here is a how to guide to get started.

Starting Off:

The first two things that you will need to build your base is a 30 Meter Plot Pole and a Crafting Bench. The Plot Pole can be bought where as crafting tables can be made by cutting down wood in a forest. You can craft many things from wood, but bullets can travel through them, so be careful where you build. Some items you can craft from wood are: Walls, Windows, Doorways, Garage Doors, and Floors/Ceilings.

Upgrading:

If you survive long enough, why not upgrade! You can buy Half Cinder(block) Walls that are bullet proof. *NOTE* These are only half walls. You need Cinder Blocks and a Bucket of Mortar to upgrade to a full wall. Cinder Blocks can be used to craft Walls, Doorways, and Garage Doors. Metal Floors offer the same protection as Cinder Block items.

Maintenance:

Remember that like in real life, buildings do decay. The decay time is six(6) days, and you can maintain them after three(3) days by using the scroll wheel option or using the plot pole(will cost you money). To maintain the structure you built, you will need the same items you used to construct it.

Tips:

Remember that zombies can glitch through walls and doors so be careful building in towns. Buy a lock to keep bandits out of your base. Include a safe in your base to secure your most valued items and money. Keep your Plot Pole inside your base for better protection.

Good Luck and get building!
