Do you enjoy to build in A20 without rebar frames ?

The game no longer puts building as an important aspect of this game.

Now it's a "looter-shooter".

Mostly I've felt the same way. I never bothered to build a base since it will get torn down in 20 seconds anyways.

 

I remember, in Alpha 1 to 4 I never occupied a building, instead I used to build big concrete bunkers aswell as mansions or castles on bontiful spots of the map and had my fun there running imagination free. Zombies still managed to punch in some holes, but I was easily defending the walls with the pump shotgun and wooden spikes.

 

95% of my playthroughs involve being a nomad and roaming through the entire map, then either by day 30 or so settle down inside a strong building and camp on the roof.

It's fine, you just need to use it some more to get used to it. I'll give you a tip that should make it easier for you. The top button toggles between all the shapes and the basic shapes. If all you want is the basic shapes it will make the menu much easier to use.

 

I think the real issue with the lack of rebar is not having to make cobblestone but rather that wood frames don't have the same SI values as rebar. This makes laying out/building a base trickier. With the removal of the first stage of concrete I'm not sure there's a meaningful difference in material costs, considering that cement is such a bear to make. I don't see the difference between mining stone vs mining clay.  In my solo playthroughs I never smelt stone and just harvest cement from POIs or buy it from traders. But for a large construction, that is a lot of stone you have to smelt to make enough cement.
