As a player who likes to spec intellect, I feel it is a great for BM hordes, especially if you like to play solo. I highly recommend specing into it early so dual turrets can be unlocked faster.
I have no issues using other weapons im not specced into as it supplements my spec very well and why not use the weapons and ammo that you find? I doubt the zombies care if who their eating are purists or not... 😅
Wow, dual turrets are SO expensive for the benefits, IMO. Yes BM defense is a breeze with up to 8 sledge turrets (2 per side), but POI clearing is not as fast as certain builds.

Nothing wrong with carrying 5 pipe shotguns on your belt. In fact, everything is right with that.
The big(?) problem is now a person needs to use "real" ammo. This is a tragedy for me as I often spec into shotgun. I'm a dirty shotgun min-max'er and I can run through many POI's with an auto shotgun, burning through shotgun ammo... OK, I know I can usually make more by then... What was the question?
OH! I guess I'm a little spoiled by the super easy early game (Often starting day 1-2) caused by blunderbuss.
OK, glad we had this talk and I hope I cleared things up for you!

The blunderbuss and its ammo are coming to an end with A19. It might show up in a future game but the pipe shotgun will replace it in A20 and uses regular shotgun shells.
Yeah. I'm split on this.
A part of me loves carrying 5 blunderbuss on my belt, early game, yet I know I'm so OP its almost not funny. (But it is).
The real problem is what this could indicate: As the blunderbuss doesn't scale well into mid-game (Roughly, when I can build concrete). This tells me there is probably no real mid-game challenge planed for the foreseeable future and early game is still THE game. (Its fun of course, but short).

I bet you get good frame rate and all things are probably crafted in the fireplace as its done IRL!
Maybe actually aiming your weapon is too complex as well. Auto-clickers for the win!

An airport does not have to be huge. It could be whatever size you wanted to make it. Like a small airport with one to two (parallel) 100m runways.
The Airport's terminal would be the real interest/threat anyway.
At least a tier 4 POI maybe even a special difficulty POI as the place could be packed with Zombies.

Different games do set boni differently.
The Boni, a people in africa, like to gather honey and, I presume, put the honey in pots.
The Boni always look for their honey pots, it what boni do.
Hope this helps!
Also, its best to call them the Aweera, they like that better.

just had 2 Z bears and 5 dogs attack me as I was getting ready to head out for the day's looting, I was totally unprepared, so I ran back up to my main base (day 16, nothing fancy, but mostly cobblestone on top of one of the big rocks, and started blasting with my 2 blunderbusses. Killed 4 of the 5 dogs in one hit, but the other one slipped away and ran up my run up ramp and made a 3 wide jump to land next to me.
No big deal, I've got a club, except he knocked me off my perch to the ground.... WTF? Got hit by a bear twice before I was able to run to my kill base and pull the frames up so he could not follow, then proceeded to kill them, even though my kill base was still a bit messed up from the day 14 horde.
I won with about 38 health.
The animals seen to need some work both hit box and physics from the looks of things.

The only problem with hard hitting, early game enemies is: People will start perking up the only weapon that is powerful and available early.
The Blunderbuss. Point blank doing over 100 points of damage will insta-kill most things. Even though it sometimes misses dogs, lions and wolves somehow, having two+ Blunderbusses is total win with 2 points of perk in shotgun!
This means that Strength builds could start being a common thing, as no other strong weapon comes out for about a week.

So... where are they now? The entire selling point of the streamers getting earlier-than-us access was supposed to be to combine the communities, and to show off the game to new markets.
...but I'm more than a little disappointed that ever since 16x was released to the rest of us, I'm not seeing any tangible success. Am I wrong? I'm open to being wrong...
Its hard to guess what might have changed if things were different but:
Before A16 8-9K players on steam.
Now 12-19K players on steam and this is before A16 goes mainstream.
Was it all the streamers? Probably not.
Was it in part due to streamers? Almost certainly.

I like the ideas, especially the fishing, but would bait also be worms found in the earth, or near water sources?
I think it would be best if you could process fertile soil and get a few worms.

Or are they?
They move, usually slowly, communicate but with hard to understand words and are always hungry.
You know: teenagers.

Better water settling system. And to add to the weather system, Natural disasters.
And add to that. getting cold and going crazy so 2 more stats possible sanity and some cold indicator that could have you lose health over time.

"Dora" from Neebs Gaming would agree with you. He never leaves home without a turret.
Edit: Dont get me wrong, I love sledge turrets because they use no ammo and, if placed right, can be brutal in BM and POI's.
