Yeah I have 5/5 miner and mother lode. And I got that auger in the last zombie purge, which is amazing (but goes through a lot of gas). Keep your eyes out for oil shale (the kinda rainbow-shiny rocks).
I also have 4/5 in shotguns so I can make good shotguns. Shotgun parts can't be made and only come from breaking down other shotguns. So if you get any level 1-3 shotguns, I would just salvage them on the spot. Really true for any guns -- salvage the low tier ones and we can use the parts to make high tier ones, once someone gets the perk for it. Actually do the same for junk turrets. I can make level 5 ones. I would just break down any level 1-3 ones. I'm not sure if junk turrets are worth much if you don't pick up the perk yourself, since the perk also improves how good your junk turrets are, but it's hard to go wrong with a turret that shoots ammo you can make yourself in the field with nothing but scrap iron.
Also bring back any books you don't need or want yourself. I can only make double barrel shotguns because pump action needs a recipe.
During that last purge I sat in the top of Moria and killed everything that came at me. Had to refill my turret several times but the iron construction and especially iron spikes kept me safe. They're gonna need bigger zombies to get me out of there. The iron spikes take care of any zombies that aren't elite and they do a ton of damage before they break. If you're making a fort, those iron bars can be a pain to place but you can stand on them and shoot through them. Zombie spitters can shoot through them too, though, so I wouldn't stand there in a small cage with no cover.
