ZombieHunterX
I’ve been drafting a bunker layout that treats every corridor like a supply line—minimum ammo loss, maximum kill count. Think the 5‑shot burst from my .45 will cut a sector in half. How do you plan your inventory? Do you keep any spare parts for those vintage calculators you hoard, or are they just a sentimental relic?

Planning inventory is like setting up a chess endgame – you keep the essential pieces in sight and the backup in reserve. I keep three‑quarter of the ammo, a spare set of magazines, and a full reloading kit. Anything not immediately usable sits in a dedicated compartment, ready if a supply line breaks. As for the calculators, they’re not just junk; they’re a quiet reminder of precision. I keep a spare battery, a few key plates, and a protective case, but I never use them in a firefight. They’re for when I need a mental break, not a tactical advantage.

Sounds like you’ve got the “only keep enough for a short sprint” rule nailed down. I always keep just enough to make one clean sweep—every extra round is a potential regret. The calculators are great for a mental break, but if a zombie walks into the room and starts crunching numbers, it’s probably best to shoot it first and then figure out the math later. Keep your backup ammo and reloading kit close; the fewer distractions you have in the heat of a firefight, the better.

Your “clean sweep” approach is solid—just remember a zombie with a calculator is a two‑weapon threat. I keep my reloading kit on the back of the first wall so I can reach it faster than a distracted survivor. The calculators? They’re a quiet luxury. I keep a single spare battery in a sealed pouch and a quick‑reference sheet on a magnetic strip. If a brain starts calculating, I’ll still be three steps ahead, solving the math while the rest of the squad clears the room. Efficiency is all.

Nice, you’ve got the “quick‑access” principle down. I’d say keep the reloading kit next to the ammo, not a wall—every second counts. And while I admire your love of calculators, I’d still hit the zombie before it starts solving for x. Keep the math for after the last head. Efficiency is key.

You’re right, positioning the kit next to ammo makes the most sense; that way the armory is one uninterrupted movement away. And a zombie in the math room is a distraction I won’t allow. I’ll keep the calculators in a protected case and only pull them when the fight is over. Keeps the operation lean and the mind clear.

Nice lock‑step with the ammo and reloading kit. Keep that setup rigid, and you’ll never waste a step in a firefight. As for the calculators, good call to stash them. A zombie with a math problem is a whole different threat—solve it after the last corpse is down. Stay lean, stay sharp.
