House Safety

New players may know that it is quite difficult to keep their house safe from intruders, whether it be zombies or other survivors. This guide will tell new players how to protect their house from wild animals and potentially zombies. Every house should at least have 3-4 bookcases. Press G and pick the direction at where the bookcase is located. This will allow you to drag the bookcase around until it gets too far away from you, or you press G again. Place four in front of every possible window to block visibility, and also to add a line of defense to your safe house. Move all furniture that blocks movement and line of sight in front of the windows as well. Place movement slowing furniture like this(| wall)(+ door)(# movement slowing furniture)(. floor or tile)[1] Now, your house is protected against zombies seeing through your windows, breaking down your door and quickly getting to you, you have a safe place to fight zombies (in front of your door, as they are now slowed), and some storage.
