Here are my ideas:
Personally I’m a big fan of things like this being paid DLC provided we maybe still get some nice free things thrown our way as well 
For cosmetic things tho, maybe a tv on a table, new lanterns hung off things n stuff, maybe the flood lights near the outlook right by our base? 
New targets and banners, a radio that can be turned on and off to play a certain theme 
(Generation Zero Theme Song On Radio - YouTube)
Tents would be awesome, with interior spaces we can go into, maybe have the interior space remain buildable in so we could place plundra etc. though i’d kinda prefer to see an idea like this one free myself.
It’s gunna be a ton of fun to watch base building expand through the years 
I second Carnis suggestion. However considering the home base current state, I do think it should be free. Because adding a “free feature” to then make future improvements paid despite them not having a significant gameplay function wouldn’t send a good message to the players. In the future when base building is seen in a more fleshed out or complete sate, i’d be down for paid home base cosmetics. Because then it would be more easily seen as a choice then paid fixes.
1: Half-stops between the NSEW facing of current base items.
2: Flood lights like those at the first resistance base you help rebuild in the Farmlands region.
3: Toughened, sandbag positions like the one outside Boo church
4: An outhouse, for no reason other than immersion. Gotta use the crapper some time.
5: To echo above suggestions: steel-reinforced walls. Make 'em cost more in the steel, too, since it’s everywhere. But also make them tough.
6: “Czech hedgehog” style tank traps - heavy use of steel crafting mats.
7: Tables and chairs
8: Awnings or those porch marquees
Protective walls
FNIX base modules
Which cost some Aluminum and a lot of Titanium to build and repair. Each module has e.g 10x times more HP than current high reinforced wall but since it being made of rare materials, it balances it out.
Soviet modules
Which cost some Steel and a lot of Aluminum to build and repair. Each module can have e.g 5x times more HP than Resistance modules.
Resistance modules
Defensive structures
Maybe some roof structures so we can make living quarters. Fireplace, Beds. Chests.
Protective walls
Decorations
FNIX garage. The door could be operable as well.
It would be nice place where to put crafting stations in. 
FNIX enclosure.
Another place where to house crafting stations and/or smaller decorations.
FNIX roof modules.
More flexible way to create covered enclosures but more difficult to code as well.
I’d like a some sort of big stereo to play tunes across my base. Could either be a simple pole with some speakers up top and a boom box at the bottom, or a custom Volvo Duett. Perhaps tricked out in resistance colors.
I’d also want to be able to make my base look less cobbled together and more thought out. Maybe it’ll be made out of bricks? Or concrete?
And if it’s to be a proper base, there should be a place to sleep and eat. Maybe tents or camper trailers? Or just beds to lay on the floor?
So I was looking back through some mission logs and I looked at the mission Lone Wolf. I thought it was quite cool how the first mission item is a runner head and that got me thinking about perhaps taking trophies to place in our base. For example taking a hunter sword and placing it in your base on a wall (I mean I would rather use it like the iron church but this is cool too). I think it would just be a really cool braghing rights mechanic and you have a chance of getting a trophy after every machine kill. It could even possibly be an extra collectible too. Thoughts? ( Sorry mods if this already exists but I searched trophies and all that came up was PS4 achievement stuff 
)
It feels weird to have those achievements displayed in the player base. Since there are 72 of them and most of them have the same icon in Steam. Making distinction of them, in-game, difficult.
When expanding your idea, there could be whole base theme designs. For example:
Base modules (walls, watchtowers, corner posts etc) are all in rusted orange metal theme. And you can get prototype machine parts from machines, as deco items. E.g proto hunter head, proto runner (half-)body etc.
All together would be prototype themed base, in it’s distinct coloring.
Base modules are in camo green theme (e.g Soviet base modules), with flora covering some or most of the base modules to complete the look. And machine parts that fit into that theme are military class machine parts. These could be the same parts as you get with prototype theme (hunter head, runner body etc).
This would make everything into green military theme, with flora covering the base. 
I already suggested the futuristic looking FNIX base modules. To complete the look, players could obtain and place FNIX class machine parts within it.
Of course, there is Apo class as well. But how that base should look like, to complete the theme, hard to say. My 1st thought would be radioactive dump 
, with green ooze everywhere. 
But that damages player when near it (which i don’t mind and completes the theme). Then again, having 3 themes out of 4 is pretty good and some of it (apo class) could be left unobtainable as well.
Hi Francesco,
I know the topic here is base building, but I think development effort should be emphasize on gameplay mechanic than cosmetic base building, in the long run it’s these mechanics (shooting, stealth, weapons attachments, detection, atmosphere) that make this game truly amazing and it’s my opinion that polishing certain of those aspects will pay for a more rich experience in Generation Zero.
Best regards.
Whether new base defence modules are required or even wanted would kinda depend on why? Why have a base?
Currently it is a breakable thing and not really something to call a home. I think some players look at a base building feature as somewhere to show off their stuff, SIMS style. Personally I just see the base as a lean-to, ramshackle fort erected to hold off robots so the comms equipment can be used.
Ok, I could see survivors dragging the Soviet temporary defence modules up the mountain to reinforce the base but casting walls in concrete would simply not make sense with what is available and neither would building FNIX structures.
Frankly I think you have better things to attend to in the game to make it more playable and enjoyable. Player models and animations for example. Get some motion tracking done to make movement seem at least a little bit realistic. And there can be no excuse for Benny in 2019 or later. Please pay some attention to human model and textures details so it matches the absolutely fabulous environment. Sort the mission log, sort storage, expand storage (through crafting perhaps) and last but not least, move the story forward. I presume you don’t have those extra Islands in place for nothing.
Agreed.
As is right now, the base feels tacked on. The devs should either think really hard on how to better integrate it into the game or consider just taking it back out and removing all the crafting materials that take up storage space and are exclusively used for base building.
A sign that says “are you a robot?” Would be cool
A sign that says “are you a robot” would be cool (the captcha or the click, are you a robot or no identifier tool icon)
Captcha wasn’t a think in the late 80s, but I immediately thought of that, too. Like make the lock on the gate be a Captcha so the bots can’t get in.
that would be AMAZING!
Hello there my favorite game developers.
I would love few Features to be added since the game has really big potential for it to actually work!!!
You would need to eat and drink for you to survive and not starve to death or getting dehydrated!!! I think it would add alot to the game
You would need make a crafting system where you could make a fire place for you to not freeze to death!
You could help not getting frozen to death by adding another clothing schematic where you would have bigger freezing resistance
You could sleep in Bunkers, tents, and wherever a bed or whatever would be…
Would be pretty damn cool if you ask me
Potentially add a sleep position where time would go faster as you sleep (day/night cycle and weather change) By this I mean if you get way too tired u could place down a fireplace and sleep by it with no bed so your daily stamina recharge and you won’t get ill.
ALSO, a request for us players to be able to add a thermal vision or as you call it IR Vision Processor to be added on sights that u can add for example on AK or AG4 or weapons like that!
In case u don’t want to do it or you don’t have time or resources to do it please at least explain why you cannot do it or why u think it would be bad for u to add such a thing!
Big Thank you for at least Reading this.
