I’m really happy to see questions and answer them. 
Base building will be a big part of the game. A player’s home has stations, such as a First Aid Station or a Bedroom. Building materials (Construction Materials, Metal Parts, Electrical Parts, Chemicals) recovered from scavenging can be used to build and upgrade stations.
Stations give benefits to a community of survivors. For example, the Bedroom station allows survivors to recover from fatigue more quickly.
Here’s a screenshot of the menu where a player can manage their home’s stations. It is fully functional.
