Base Catalogue

From Dawn of the Dead Wiki

About the base catalogue and usage tips.

What the base catalogue is for

Allows you to view, search, retrieve and sort the contents of a base. As well as see updated information on various aspects of your storage.

How to access

Stand in a claimed safehouse area.

  1. Press the ⊞ button.
  2. Click Tools.
  3. Select the Base catalogue.

After doing this at least once, the catalogue remembers, so you can see while you're out on a loot run.

Limitations

  • It only remembers the base you last looked at.
  • The base you last looked at is stored locally so your teammates won't see it.
  • A base too big to load from one spot won't save, so you'll need to be there to use it.

Sorting

  • You can click a category to sort by various factors such as amounts held.
  • Sort by Nearest or Fullest, hide empty containers, or list the ones nobody has opened yet.
  • Pins: pin an item with a target, like 200 nails. Pins sit at the top of the list, red when you're short, green when you're stocked.

Retrieving items

  • Right-click an item, pick an amount and your character goes round your containers and grabs it, nearest first.
  • Clicking on a container in the list will path your character to it.
  • Find in base: right-click any item in your inventory to find more of it.

Picking an item lights up every container it's in.

Information

Besides showing what is located in your base, the catalogue offers additional status updates.

  • Changes: see what's come in and gone out since you last looked.
  • Food: what's going off soonest, your total calories and roughly how many days of food your group has.
  • Status: water, generator fuel and hours left, and whether mains power is on.
  • Books to read: the skill books you haven't finished and the recipe magazines you don't know.
  • Crafting: short of something for a recipe? It now shows how many are in your base.
  • Containers show how full they are and which floor they're on, and distance counts the stairs.
  • Hover an item for its normal tooltip, and use Copy list to paste your stock into Discord.
