    Thanks for stopping by everyone! It should be noted that in the early game before powered hatches are available, that the first (longer path) can work solo. The advantage of adding the second path later on is it keeps zombies bunched up in the center of the pit for easy grenade kills and headshots. Hope you all enjoyed!

    Very nice @pseugoposse. I like your ideas of triggered pathways! Very creative!
    I am recently putting the finishing touches on my endgame pit base. It's purely a high speed kill pit using explosives. Day 7000, max 64, insane nightmare testing was able to finish the whole horde night early on a 2 hour day. Full explosive perception build and with exp gear, preacher gloves, atom candies, learning elixir etc. was able to gain ~8 to 9 skill points avg.
    Zombies fall into a 3x3 sloped pit using the new 8m sloped shapes. Pit is at bedrock. Full steel with an extra ring of steel blocks around that, 5x5 (so inside is 3x3) then 7x7 up to about 4 to 5 blocks. There are no stairs in the build...zombies need to run without stopping so there is a direct pathway to the fall mechanic. Because there are no inside 8m corner ramp pieces (I couldn't find any) the corners on the 5x5 slope ring are normal full blocks. These 4 corners are built up to the fall mechanic and player position housing. This can be up quite high due to ground level approach.
    While I'm protected from cop spit, I still get puked at as cops approach and I need to keep working on that... The reason is I don't want them to stop and pause before running into the pit. It's tricky because I have to be some what close over the pit to deliver my ordinance efficiently and that position is close to the fall mechanic... a tricky compromise.
    The kill pit is situated in a 13x13 voided area to bedrock. Electric fences are setup to cover inside the kill area such that it is 3x3x3. This is very important to paralyze the zombies and keep them from beating their way out. It greatly preserves the integrity of the blocks at endgame. I do not repair the fence posts all horde night and so far they've hung in there quite well... mainly it's important to kill off the pit zombies expeditiously as the longer they are being electrocuted, the fence post is taking wear damage. Because of ragdoll effect from explosives, some zombies occasionally survive and ragdoll out. Since they are now in the void area between outer pit and kill pit, I have some traps setup to deal with them there as well.
    It's a safe, high xp gain horde base that requires only a little repair from the player for cop spit, etc. There is a ladder I have from my position all the way down to the top edge of the 8m high ramps. It is possible to sprint jump up the 8m high ramps. This allows for end of horde night bag retrieval and pit repairs. :)

    • @pseudoposse
      @pseudoposse  6 месяцев назад +1

      That sounds incredibly awesome! For the cop spit, do they have line of sight on you? If not, you should use cop spit safe blocks that will prevent them from spitting.

    • @JohnTheMutt
      @JohnTheMutt 6 месяцев назад

      @@pseudoposse Thx! :D Part of the issue is the limited space I have at the fall mechanic. Because of the substantial height it is necessary for me to position myself very close to the fall mechanism. I just need to fit the right anti-cop spit blocks while still allowing me complete line of sight and unobstructed throwing. It's a little puzzle and the last thing I need to iron out. Thanks for replying and love all the great effort you've put in on your designs!

    Lol. I've been playing the new Alpha 1 for quite a few hours and let me tell you, the largest challenge difference in 7d2d is how difficult it is to gather resources for base building. Base building now is a massive grind. If you don't make a single change with mods, you will spend your first 30-50 hours getting to the point you can make iron tools and even then, it's going to take you many, many, many days of effort to gather the materials to make a Horde base. I am on day 14, and I took over a POI and even with me taking over a POI and spending 3 days grinding out materials, it's not ready for Horde night. To get 1000 wood, WITH a lvl 2 Iron Axe, takes about 8 trees. That's a lot. I get a little over 100 Wood per tree if it's large enough. Getting 1000 stone is easier but still takes a lot of time, AND more importantly, water and food. The game has definitely changed it's pace and I don't know if these changes add to or detract from the experience. One of the best things about 7d2d is it's building capability, and FunPimps have made it decidedly more difficult to experiment and explore this aspect of the game.

    • @MrMagyar5
      @MrMagyar5 6 месяцев назад

      @@adventuresofguamboy5471 Yea, the problem I have is that you really have to split your points early across many areas. You MUST take Miner 69'er early. MUST. Otherwise there's no way to find enough books to get to Iron tier weapons before lvl 20. You also need to get 2 levels of Parkour simply for running POI's. I am halfway through tier 2 POI's for the trader and I haven't seen a single Iron axe, pickaxe, or shovel as a reward or in the loot from the POI. Finally, books are MUCH more rare in this release. I mean.. MUCH more rare. They are a lot harder to find early so each one counts and you MUST target those skills which let you find MORE of any given book. They've slowed the early game to a crawl and it's not enjoyable. The early game was fine in Alpha 21. I don't know why they slowed it down so much nor why they decided that large cities only belong in the wasteland. That's nonsensical to me as it basically forces the player into a progression that is not very organic. I mean.. really.. if we are supposed to go from Biome to Biome for these traders and POI's why is it so damn hard to move our bases and resources in the game? Players don't want to spend half a day, biking out to the burnt forest to run ONE POI before dark for Trader Jen. Then have to bike all their loot all the way back to their base. They broke the flow of the game for no good reason.

    • @BradAhrens
      @BradAhrens 6 месяцев назад

      Idk... I'm on my second playthrough in Survivalist 1.0 after a day 70 horde and never had an issue with resources even with stone tools on Day 7.
      The base should scale with your tools. Small melee base with stone tools, behemoth of steel when you're stacked with mining gear and t6 powered tools. IMO the real challenge is waiting for modders to bring in the bigger mods that make the game harder or more complex.

    • @pseudoposse
      @pseudoposse  6 месяцев назад +1

      When in debug mode, press z to bring up the blue box. You can move the box around by holding g and dragging the axes around. If you hold shift + g, you can expand the size of the blue box. Once done, you can use the wrench on all blocks within that region. Left click with wrench in hand to copy a block shape by aiming at the block you want to copy. If you hold on 'r', it will bring up options. Make sure to select the replace all blocks. Then if you target for example a dirt block in the blue box region, it will replace all dirt with the copied block. If you want to replace with air and make a pit like i did, then hold on 'r' with wrench in hand and select air on the left side. Then target a block with the wrench to replace it.
      Hope that helps!

      That would be a difficult question to answer as there are many factors that go into the AI's determination of which path to take. But for a small base made of cobblestone, I would keep the path short (say 10-15) blocks. With concrete and steel, you can make a longer path.

      Thanks for the information. I built the base at the bottom of a canyon in Navezgane that is only a few blocks higher than bedrock. I also tried tunneling a cave at bedrock level into the side of the canyon thinkin that if they spawned above me they would choose to run forward down the cliff to enter instead of tunneling since I didn't put anything in front to stop them, not even bars or hatches. No dropper either.
      On the top of the cliff I put about 800 blocks of concrete above my base to try and inhibit the want to tunnel after me and instead try running through the front.
      They tunneled anyway but not right above me it was weird, they came out about 15 blocks in front of me off to the right. Instead of tunneling straight down they made a weird S pattern, they dug the hole above me on the left then came around and entered from the right. I wasn't moving around much so I don't know what that was about.

      Sure! I can explain now and when I use it again in the future, I can give a short tutorial. Turn on debug mode and creative mode in the console by typing cm and dm. Go into creative menu, turn on dev blocks and get the replacement wrench.
      The way the wrench works is if you hold r, it will bring up options like block shape menu. Select the options you want. Press z to make the blue box. Ctrl shift g will bring up some axes to increase the size of the box.
      With the wrench you can replace all blocks with air or with another block. So that is what I did in video. First cleared the out by replacing all blocks with air. Then replaced surrounding layer of blocks with concrete.

      But it may be that your path is too long and your foundations too weak...so they feel it is easier to directly destroy the structure you are standing on rather then following the path. Try to support your fighting platform supports better. And make sure the path works and they see it as a path.
      You could try standing at various points along the path and find the spot you stand where they suddenly stop coming. That can help you find where the issue is. Good luck!
