I think something has fucked up the game's zombie distribution. Since I started playing Build 42 there's very few inside of buildings. I first noticed this when I stumbled across Ekron Community College and looked it up online and saw how people were saying there's 800 in there (I ran into maybe a dozen tops). Now I had this run where I just kamikazed into Louisville (I started on Valley Station, got bit being a moron, then just ran the barrier on a bicycle and then ran - I was a fitness instructor - the rest of the way) and it seems like any building in Louisville is deserted. Whole apartment buildings with nobody in them.

Honestly now that I think about it I haven't seen too many zombies inside of buildings. Maybe it's just because I use guns a lot so everybody ends up outside, but I never really stopped to think about it.

I think I saw one singular zombie inside a house and that's about it. They'll be out and all around the buildings but never in them

There's a high chance that the multiplayer zombie culling has been added into singleplayer, but with fucking permanent effects instead.

I found expecially in taller buildings the zombie spawn is a bit fucked.
 
If the zompocalypse kicked off I'd load up every magazine I own and go out to start clearing out the neighborhood. Unfortunately if we were following Zomboid rules that would get me swarmed and eaten as every zombie within five miles beelined for me with the first gunshot. I've got a couple hundred rounds laying around for trips to the range, but they'd run me dry eventually.
 
Real life Zomboid I'm heading down to the marina and snagging the biggest onboard I can find that looks to be in good shape. Tis a pirate's life for me yarr godspeed ye landlubbin brain donors.
 
Dunno how a zombie apocalypse could even work, unless you keep stacking the deck in favor of the disease and having humans behave like clueless idiots.

Even Romero didn't have much of a good answer other that the disease mysteriously and spontaneously appearing all over the globe at the same time. 28 Days Later and Train to Busan rely on the idea that the disease turns you in a matter of minutes to justify its spread. In Walking Dead the disease spreads globally because it does nothing on its own, requiring the patient to die (or get another shot of the virus) to turn you into a zombie. In Resident Evil most of the various ways to turn people into zombies rely on deliberate human actions.

Remove all these "perks", and the outbreak can easily be contained through the application of sheer firepower, especially if the military has room to manouver - just keep the horde chasing after you into prepared killzones.
 
In IRL 'boid I'd wait behind a waist high wooden fence with a hammer and clear out the entire town I live in.

I think even before that the zombies would die from dehydration within weeks, in order to function it needs some supernatural element.

WWZ made me realise that just hitting the high seas/lakes is unironically the best way to survive the majority of zombie scenarios.

Return of the Living Dead is probably the hardest scenario imaginable. You have to dodge intelligent zombies that can plan and plot and presumably could sail/swim out to you with precipitation that will re-animate every potentially-living tissue around you.

Its kinda easy just get to a any building that has +2 stories and just start throwing furniture from upper levels to block stairs and GG you will be pretty safe (yeah getting supplies will be a bitch but still) even sprinters will not be a problem AND depending on the time when apocalypse began either streets will be almost clear since people died and "woke up" during the night so they are trapped in their homes or homes will be empty since they died on their way to work or at work.
(in case it is slow decay kinda how walking dead showed then just stay back and they will wander off to distant gunshots and vehicle movement)

And for IRL ehhhh i had some time to think a bout it and i kinda already know which places i would loot and where to get guns in my pozzed country (having police station where there are like 5cops max is sometimes blessing in disguise could be easy to clean just poke them with pitchfork)

The new update is fantastic. They should think of adding opossums and skunks to the game. They are basically the same size as the raccoon, and can complete that “family of three” thing they try to do with other livestock, like how cows, pigs and sheep all have three breeds.

(pigs only have two for now)

Also what is the best use of a basement? I picked a good spot for a ranch, and it has a spacious upstairs and basement but I never use either.

Dying an undignified death, cornered with no escape when the horde comes.

But seriously, don't plan to spend a lot of time in a basement or other 1 way in/1 way out spots. Once the power goes, their value gets very limited anyway, unless you plan to flip on a generator every time you head down. I just use them for storage.

You should sleep on the second floor of your ranch and have a sheet rope attached to the window for a quick escape in case your ground floor is breached.
