F.A.Q

Does it work in Multiplayer?

Of course it does! Just remember to include Basements map in the servertest.ini and turn off Anti-Cheat Type 3.

Can zombies enter the basement?

NOPE however, zombies can crowd the trapdoor so watch you back when entering the basement.

Does it work on existing saves?

At the moment the mod doesn't work with existing saves!

Is the mod compatible with [...]?

This mod should be perfectly compatible with any other mods at this time. If this ever changes, I'll include a link here where you can check the incompatible mods.

How do I build a basement?

You will need to find and read the respective "In the basement" magazine of the basement size you want to build. Additionally, you will need a hammer and a shovel, as well as enough planks, nails, hinges and a door knob.

Where can I build a basement?

At the moment only inside structures. You can have 1 basement per structure. (E.g house, building, etc.) Unfortunately, player made structures do not count.

Can I destroy basements?

Basements are permanent! Once you build one, you cannot go back.
