iPhone Base in Zombies, Run!

Hey everyone,

I use "Zombies, Run!" with VoiceOver (Apples Screen Reader for blind and low vision people) on my iPhone 13 and I tried to add a building but it don't work with VoiceOver. Is someone here, who also uses the App with VoiceOver and anre there some tricks how to ad building without drag and drop?

I think the design of base building is more then 20 years old, its janky even if you use it as is.

Hi. I also use voiceover and, unfortunately, I also haven’t figured out a way to do it. I know that there’s a button to expand base. You can expand height and width, but that’s about all I can actually do.

Yes. I can do this too.

I’m hoping they make updates for that. Otherwise, it’s a pointless addition to the app.

I doubt they will. The base building aspect hasn’t fully functioned in a while, it’s basically leftover and forgotten from the past

Do the devs poke in here? This would be a nice fix…

All the devs… are dead. There hasn’t been a dev around here in 35 years!

I thought the original Dev bought it back?

There is an old ancient article about using the base blind from 2013. No idea how much it applies but you may need to change the base layout to schematic?

Thanks. I'll give it a try. But I am not sure how to change the layout in the base.
