[Does 7D2D Really Require a Horde Base?]

I play solo.  And I'm finding, at level 63, that I spend all my time gathering resources required to rebuild my base after each horde night.

 

I recently started to do "run and gun" horde nights, and find them more enjoyable.  There are 3 downsides to "run and gun" though:

1.  Very few bags vs horde base.  A normal horde night will generate ~12 bags (solo, 8 zoms setting).  Run and gun, maybe 4 bags tops.  And not sure if "run and gun"

     is viable with a higher zombie count setting.

2.  XP.  Much lower.  Understand with run and gun, it is shoot quick and never stand long.  If you get swarmed, you are dead.  So a lot of zombies

     are left alive.

3.  You should have special items.  Running shoes (STAM regen) and college jacket (10%+ run speed), coffee (STEM regen) although Backstrap Coffee is best.  And hobo stew for max 

     STAM.  If you don't have these things, just plan on running all the time because any stop if praying your STAM increases fast.

 

My questions to players and TFP are the following:

1.  Anyone else to "run and gun" and have found ways to make that work better or make it more challenging?

2.  To TFP, have you considered a separate solo player settings setup to allow solo players the time to gather stuff while still doing jobs etc.???

3.  Besides sitting in a horde base or "run and gun", any other ways to handle horde night?

[Where is my minibike?]

This is WEIRD!  Found my minibike.  But it was a LONG distance from where the game glitched.  Based on the location of the minibike, it 'hit' a car in the road that was way behind the glitch location.  My guess is I had some serious lag between client/server that caught up to me.  Just glad I still had my newbie bicycle to backtrack!  

[Where is my minibike?]

Restarted game several times.  No luck, but can run back to area to see if I missed it.  I do know that it is NOT showing up in my map.  As for Saves folder, found that but not sure how to copy it to this thread. The instructions to use http://pastebin.com or https://justpaste.it/ do not seem to work with a folder.

[Where is my minibike?]

OK, riding along on my minibike.  Navezgane.  Going from the desert biome to the Pine Forest on my minibike full of stuff.  My home base is in the Pine Forest, and I'm loaded down.  However, gas is 90%+ and bike is 80%+, so no problem with the minibike.  Game suddenly stops.  I mean, blink, and its gone.   No warning, no glitches, nope, my game crashes.  

 

Start the game back up, and no minibike.  Not in my inventory and nowhere near my avatar.  Everything on the minibike is gone as well.  My avatar is on foot.  I have to run to base as it is close to 2200.  

 

Then I check my log.  Vehicle manager put my minibike at 487.9, 61.0, -96.4.  Now, I'm looking at the map.  Yes, I was near that location (487, 61).  But if I'm reading these coordinates, my minibike is 96 feet/meters below the ground?????   How????  Why???
