I am creating my first ever above ground fortress the only objects that will not be above ground is my food storage and my emergency bunker.


I am going to be creating a moat around the entire entrance but what are some other good and useful tips?

Are we talking a mod or regular zombie-infested biome?

A perimeter wall should be your first concern, after that farms and food storage. I tend to build a dining hall after that with a second floor that serves as a dormitory as a stopgap to building houses. You'll need a way to get in/out of the fort when necessary, so an airlock of some kind. You will almost certainly need soldiers quickly, flying enemies will just go right over the walls and attack you.

I am playing a mod but zombies are the same as in game zombies (Not from Evil Regions)

Also the mod makes it so there are 0% flying creatures,

So far i have a river surrounding my entire fortress and i have created a giant perimeter wall around the entire fort

Alright. Setting it up so marksmen can fire from the walls will probably help, and at least a raising bridge leading out will be a must. For safety's sake the depot should be built outside the perimeter, so if the merchants get trounced you won't be in immediate danger. The rivers may need to be bridged either with built ones or drawbridges. The lower half of the walls can also serve as one side for a bunch of houses of course.
