As we walk you through the tools and materials you might need, we recommend using the Project Zomboid map project to find your character and help track down possible spawn locations nearby. In this guide, we break down everything you need to find and fortify a base in Project Zomboid and also explain how you can build your own base from scratch. In a worst-case scenario, the unprepared might even get an infection and become a zombie themselves. This can turn dangerous very fast and could lead to your base getting overrun. Unfortunately, sometimes the undead follow you home and will start banging on the windows and doors.

Much more than just a place to call home, bases provide storage space for your stockpiled goods and safety from bad weather and passing hordes. Want to know how to fortify a base in Project Zomboid? If you want to survive days, weeks, or maybe even months in Project Zomboid, you’ll need a base.
