Basically yes, except the mobs will be attacking it every now and then. If you have IRL friends you can hang out there too. And your tame farm animals of course.

Farm animals sounds cool. Too bad you cant find NPCs to invite to live in your settlement. That would be a cool mechanic. Have them live there and defend it while you are away.

The game then only plays while you are logged on and playing? The game State of Decay could be brutal because it progressed while you werent even playing. So if you took a day from gaming, or just came back after a night's sleep, you could log in and find some of your characters dead and camp torn up.

Can your place be torn up by the mobs while you werent logged on?
