Transcripts

Bases are fun to have but time-consuming to  make. However, there are things you can do  

to drastically cut down the time it takes  to build one, so you can spend that extra  

hours doing something fun, like pogs.  Remember pogs? These tips are practical,  

easy to follow, and perfect for anyone who  wants to shave time off the tedium that is  

base building. If you like the video please  leave a like or a subscribe it really helps  

me out, you have no idea. But without  further ago, let’s get into the video.

First things first, let’s start with the absolute  basics and work our way up. Firstly, you’re gonna  

need tools, not just any base building tools,  you need the right tools. Although a base can  

be built with several types of tool, including the  sledgehammer and so on, tools like axes, hatchets,  

and pickaxes are crucial for your base-building  speed. This is because when building a base,  

tools can wear down pretty fast. So, instead of  scavenging for new tools every time, get yourself  

a sharpening stone. These stones can be used to  maintain most sharp tools, restoring their status,  

preventing you from having to find multiple  replacements. You can find sharpening stones  

in outhouses, and they're quite common, so make  sure to grab one whenever you spot it. When it  

comes to finding these specific building  tools, industrial areas and farms or barns  

are your best bet. These places are packed with  tools. If you're specifically looking for axes,  

head to the fire stations. They usually have  a few axes lying around, ready for you to use.

But while gathering supplies, it's essential to  have a stash to keep your collected items safe,  

this will give you a quick collection point  where you can store supplies while you’re  

gathering. You can use a fireplace hidden round  a bush somewhere to store your tools and items.  

This method is a quick and discreet way to keep  your belongings safe for around 8 hours. It’s  

also important you utilise this, it sounds like  a non-issue and although risky if done poorly,  

building in batches speeds things up  significantly and is safer overall because  

of it. So collect all of the materials for your  entire planned structure and store them first.

And some of the materials you’ll need, are  planks. The normal way to get them is to chop  

down a billion logs from trees and saw them.  Which not only takes hours but also gives away  

your supply chain location until the server  resets. But there is a much easier way,  

just use one of these pallets. These  pallets are scattered all around the map,  

and all you need is a saw to cut them.  Saws can be commonly found in sheds,  

so keep an eye out for them because it’s  ridiculously quick compared to chopping trees.

Nails are another essential item for building  your base or looking fabulous on the catwalk.  

One of the quickest ways to gather a good  amount of nails is by checking outhouses  

and train carts. These often have a  stash of nails and are commonly found  

close to the coast, so you can find them  pretty easily and extremely quickly. Plus,  

it's a lot easier than searching  small buildings or houses for hours.

When searching for supplies, don't hesitate  to disassemble any half-raided bases you come  

across. Each section you take apart can give  you around three planks and nine nails. It's  

a great way to recycle resources and get what you  need without having to gather fresh materials or  

search for hours. That is where the bulk of your  time will drain, the searching so you should be  

recycling and dissembling anything and everything  available. For example, you can also break down  

crates to get planks and nails. By dismantling  planks, you can obtain about eight logs and  

twelve nails. This method can be a lifesaver if  you're in a pinch and need building materials  

quickly, letting you build a much stronger  foundation than the one I had with my late father.

When building a watch tower, instead of  building all floors, just add a camo net.  

This trick is instant and can save you from having  to complete the entire watchtower, and it provides  

excellent cover, making your base harder to  spot, but gives you a place to spot through

If you find yourself in a situation where you need  to build a quick gate but only have barbed wire,  

don't fret. You can turn barbed wire into  metal wire with pliers. This little hack  

can save you a lot of search time and  get your gate up and running quickly.

But the most important thing when building  is to pick the right location and this video  

here will not only tell you some  of the best solo base locations,  

but also give you example of quick structures  you can make. But as always, until next time.
