Also, kill the spider and screamer zombies first as they tend to spawn more hordes. So without guns and ammo it can be pretty overwhelming. (unless some others glitch their way up)ДЄlso, a big tip, stay well stocked on ammo and weapons and at first rely heavily on melee weapons because after day 49 every night I get 7 day hordes and occasionally some during the day. If you're building a base, try to make it about 3-5 blocks high in the air, as the only zombie capable of climbing is the spider zombie. If someone could confirm this for me, it'd be much appreciated. I've noticed that every two days before the 7th night, a small pack of dogs will attack your base indicating that you have 48 hours until Blood Moon. Surround it by about 4 rows of wood spikes all the way around and barbed wire fences to finish it off. So it's always good to fortify every side equally, or you could do what I did with my friends, build a scrap iron tower not too far from your base with iron bars for 'windows' in which you can shoot out of as well as some sort of bridge with a door you can jump out of if the tower is compromised. After that it has always been a random side of base. I've only been attacked on the same side of my base at least twice. Im pretty sure ive read somewhere that the zombie hordes tend to attack the same side of your base every 7th night.if it is indeed the case, take note on the 7th night so you can plan ahead You can always move later, if you wish too. More then likely, you can choose the first house you spawn near at. IF worse comes to worse, use your stone ax and knock a block or 2 and escape. You might end up possibly painting yourself in a corner BUT I had a 2 door house and I ended up putting a bunch of spikes on the front porch and those flippin zombies came in the back door lol! Face facts you be dying a lot in the beginning of the game. There is an abandoned cave or I would assume they're are several caves those are 'prime real estate' try to keep with one door on your house, cabin etc. and make you eventually craft some wooden spike traps as well. Just remember you will attract noise when doing so. also when starting out, you won't have necessary materials to build your own base, home, shelter etc. You can cure it with tea or the proper medicine. Snow is a very good source of fresh water, and make sure you attempt to boil it before you drink it. You can find a cooking pretty much anywhere? I got mine with a air drop but you can find them anywhere and that goes for beakers too. Glass Jars will also work, for crafting water but you will need the cooking pot.
