Farming and carpentry have created an "end game" scenario where you can survive the apocalypse forever. I strongly feel that fortress building ruins the core "keep moving" mechanic. I appreciate that a lot of people would hunker down and fortify in a real life zombie onslaught but farming is just so easy atm, is it going to get harder to survive like this?
My suggestion to fix this would be, much scarcer seeds! and birds/mice periodically coming to eat planted seeds that you need to shoo away/kill. Also potatoes are rarely grown from seeds, except by specialist breeders. Usually you plant a regular* potato and a new plant and new potatoes grow from that.
*actually you normally use seed potatoes which are regular potatoes selected as genetically health clones from a breed stock.
