Is it just me, or do the small maintenance closets inside of subways make pretty much the best base?
I've tried several locations for bases. Stores, houses, warehouses, the police station. They are all hit and miss, sometimes i can hold out for several days without any interruptions, sometimes even when covering my scent the undead find me within 1 day, and countless times civilians break in proclaiming "I KNOW there is food in there!" not to mention the gangstas and bikers.
Then I tried the subway. Opened the gates in my starting district, went 1 district to the west inside and dropped off some supplies in a closet. Went 1 more west and broke down the gate that way when they do find me I have more than 1 direction to go to get out.
Except no one ever found me.
28 days with no interruptions at ALL when I was down there. I would head up to the surface, grab as much as I can carry and drop off supplies, then either rest up or pop a bunch of blue pills. After about 10 days straight of this I had a massive cache of food, weapons and ammo. And I just waited it out until my food ran low.
Granted it may not have been the best idea since other than the national guard I seem the be the only competent human at clearing the streets of zombies, when I emerged to grab some more food the streets were absolutely SWARMING with all kinds of the undead, I didnt have much chance.
I found it odd that nothing and no one managed to think lets check the subways.
Bug? oversight? intentional?
