Manned Bases-Housing

[tsofian]

The base my players just entered via an emergency exit is a single looping tunnel driven by a Tunnel Boring Machine. Most of the interior structures are single wide trailers. Base equipment includes a number of "yard dogs" to pull the trailers out once the base deems it safe to do so.

Certainly an idea, don't know if I would choose trailers, why not go for military-grade shelters or even prefabricated buildings? One game i played in had a "abandoned" factory where the outer buildings could be easily converted into living quarters, with the machinery rooms converting into admin offices, mess hall, etc. .

Instead of trailers, you can get containers designed to become almost anything you need from office space, barracks, mess hall, C4I, warehouse, machine shop, etc. from places like SEA BOX (http://www.seabox.com/products/detai...ndable-shelter) and move them from a tunnel with a few of these if you don't want a bunch of flatbed trailers (https://www.copybook.com/companies/c...netherlands-01)

The other plus with this is you could store an entire factory and move it just about anywhere with relative ease. Makes for a satisfying solution for me.

Works for me!

I've always favored shelters based on standard cargo containers. There is something about being able to ship, lift, drop in place, bolt together, add steps and repeat as necessary. It's an elegant engineering solution.

I would argue that there is less difficulty and greater value in just building new quarters above ground. The bunker stays available as a bunker, your heavy equipment stays in place, etc. Plus you can choose to integrate the Team with the community in housing.
