Beginners Guide to making a base for blood moon hordes. Hope you enjoy :)
Drop a Like on the video if you do. Let's shoot for 2k likes! Thank you CappNation!
I put the likes from 299 to 300 :)
Sometimes it is difficult to explain things to a newbie, if you play it a very long time (like i and you did :)
I prefer playing 120/24 and this is also very good for new players. For a new player a tutorial (with all the little things) for the first week and the first horde night is the best tutorial. And build near a trader is very good, because the trader is (was in A19) your best friend in 7DtD :)
@@wizzardrincewind9458 Nice!! Thank you :)
Now how do u have food an water by ur health an stamina i need this
@@Blue350_ttv Khaine's Modlets. I think it's linked in the video description
Hello I really liked these bases, but I am playing with my wife and at the second bloodmoon , it started to appear the demo zombies, and they blow up everything that I place, even electric fences and blade traps, what can we do to stop these zombs?
The only thing I'd add to the corridor with bars is just an advisory that shooting a shotgun through the bars will damage them pretty quickly. Learnt that the hard way, I did. Really helpful video, and of course very enjoyable
Yeah, I don't typically recommend shotguns on any particular base except for the bunker because the range sucks so much anyway :)
@@capp00 Capp FP have nerfed hp for all blocks. The horizontal cement bars are now about a 1/4 hp of full block. A half block is half the hp. So be careful with what blocks you use
@@1969chgoodwin and they just reverted it back again.
@@skug978 good because it took the same amount of resources but less HP.
There's 2 types of "bars". The ones in the 1365 shape menu are just considered a block shape, you can have them in plywood, wood, concrete, or steel, and you will damage those with a shotgun. However, you can make the old "Iron bars" in the forge, and those allow ranged weapons to pass through them as though they have no hitbox.
Don’t forget to always build a foundation under your base btw, don’t just build on the soil or you may find your base easily undercut and collapsing
I remember basing on top a sky scraper and the whole thing came down by night 14
@Walking Jedd 7DTD Channel Yup! I just met my first demo last night and he blew the ever-loving piddle out of my house, destroying most of my medical supplies and some other stuff... Damage repairs are complete now, but I do need to build a spot to fight them next moon...
All these complex bases, and here I am on day 35 still using my POI base with the bottom stairs knocked out.
Great tutorial with some solid examples that players can expand upon and modify to their own desire. I've always preferred the corridor style with additional secure positions to fall back to should they become breached.
Well said!
Very informing and helpful! Definitely one of my favorite RUclips Creators!
Great video even for someone with many hours in. I have never really done the "pathing" tricks but it's good stuff to know. Lately I've settled into a "kill pit" sort of thing. Took over a house. Set up on the top floor and knocked a hole in the center of the floor. Started with barbed wire fences and spike and now traded up to electric fences and a blade trap. Day 49 on standard settings was easy peasy and they are hilarious doing the herky jerky on those electric traps.
Thanks alot for making this video. I never knew the different type of hoard bases, very informative and entertaining.
These are pretty good horde base ideas with them being simple but with plenty of room to customise to your liking :D Good stuff! I think newcomers to the game would benefit from it
I hope so :)
Needed this so baaaad! Thanks Capp!
Happy to help!
I like to do a 4-sided step pyramid for the "stairs" to the corridor, with actual stairs at the bottom to give them a more clear path at first. I also like to offset the "attack window" so that I'm always smacking them perpendicular to the beam they're walking across, massively increasing the chances they fall off when hit.
.
It's overkill, but I also like to dig a really deep trench, with really easy ways out, to keep them cycling in their pathfinding longer. That's the main trick to keeping the damage low on your base. The more time they spend pathing, the less time they spend attacking blocks. It doesn't matter how fast they get back to you, all that matters is how smoothly they do so.
@Walking Jedd 7DTD Channel I don't generally use spikes either...which is why I didn't mention them...and so I'm confused as to why you brought them up?
As always very educational Capp. Happy to watch this. :)
Much appreciated!
Hey Capp,. these kinds of videos are fantastic. One of your base-testing videos from way back gave me my go-to murder base for horde nights (enclosed tower + corridor, like you built in Darkness Falls). I would have never figured that out if not for your videos. Thank you!
Awesome to hear. Thank you :)
Just to weigh in, they added a corner bars option for your frames so you don't create blind spots with solid blocks like before. Even the hollow frame block works and they can all be shot through and upgraded to steel.
Another awesome and simple video. Will definitely use one of these
You give us so much knowledge , we should call you Prof. Capp!
I've been called that before, and I'm totally ok with it :)
I really miss pitfall bases those were alot of fun to use. Also another thing I like to do to all my bases is put bars on the blocks the zombies can hit to help improve durability.
Thanks for the content Capp00
Very helpful! Thanks Cap!
Happy to help!
awesome video bro. Finally bought this game a couple weeks ago and wish i made that decision a long time ago. Didnt expect it to take me so long to understand the gameplay and how things work. Thanks for the pointers im 100% going to do make most of these
Glad I could help!
Im gonna try the last one on my darkness falls run today. Ive been getting killed every blood moon horde up until now so we will see how it goes. Thanks for the video :)
Great video, Capp. Really helpful for newbies and vets alike.
Glad you think so!
Finally, a video for really beginners. And: the simpliest things are the best! Thx for this vid.
You're welcome!
Thanks Capp! Hey I wanted to share an unrelated tip with you since you're always giving us so many. I saw in one of your recent videos that your still getting at loot thats behind partially broken down blocks by looking through the cracks. What I just discovered is that in A20 these blocks have been made much weaker and can be broken in one swing with almost any item/tool (though I have found 1 or 2 that still require more hits). Now i'm finding it quicker to just break them instead of trying to find the right spot in the crack to interact with it. I hope that makes sense.
Thats a nice tip, thank you. It is important for me, not to cheat in this game.
He knows that, he just likes making it a mini challenge of trying to get to the container without breaking the cover.
@@captobvious4817 TFP made a change for A20 where all "ruined" blocks have low HP so you can quickly break them. It makes rehabbing a POI really fast.
Great video. I love when you do this.
I usually start with a bunker on a hill then build a wall and trenches around it. Then turn it into a tower with towers and bunkers around the outer wall that act a a bridge connecting all my defences. If I run around enough it will some time confuse the zombie ai and they start doing weird stuff.
Great tip!
Great video! Capp00 I might do something similar I'll definitely mention your video at the start for more ideas for others. ✌
Awesome. Thanks!
One thing to note, having something close to the edge where the zombies have to jump over it if you are on it, if the other side where they jump over it is small enough, zombies most the time just overshoot it. throwing themselves off the tower for you
i really liked the idea of the last one. ty
Definitely good to try to keep it simple. I've built some epic bases but the bigger you get the weirder their pathing can get. Then you just end up with a big project you have to do a lot of work to fix and maintain. My biggest focus right now is to make something that let's you collect the loot all night. In a20 the loot doesn't seem to want to roll down ramps too well. So again big dig project without the desired results.
My boyfriend and I use an enclosed corridor with iron hatches and build up for storage and bedrolls. It works pretty well, but that tower looks real nice :)
I could have used this video back when I first started 7 Days! Good info Capp!
Great to hear!
Thanks for the video Capp!!
You bet!
Thanks for the guide and the solid examples!
You bet!
if you use wedge tips for the walkway for the zombies, they will slip off and fall down and try to get at you again. They see the wedge tips as a valid path. If you aim the wedge tips downward and have the flat spot on top, you can place half blocks on top of the wedge tips and they will slip off. The killing corridor is one of my favorite builds and I ran it almost all the way up to day 110.
Hey Capp been watching your channel since alpha 16 and your videos are always informative, in fact I first learned electricity basics in 7dtd from one of your vids ages ago, anyway with 1,200 hours in 7dtd this is always a nice refresher, im about to start a horde every night with max difficulty settings to challenge myself and this was very helpful even for a veteran. Anyways! just wanted to say thanks for your time and effort.
Very cool Evan. Thank you so much. Good luck with your new challenge :)
For bunker style builds, I've taken a liking to building "mushroom" style bunkers. I got the idea from some ww2 pillboxes, I don't remember who it was that made them. I think they might have been british "in case of invasion" defenses. Essentially instead of the corner posts, you have a single, larger center post, and the roof simply overhangs all the way around. It's the same amount of materials and work, but gives you a full 360 degree field of fire, as you move around the bunker.
I've used the 1st one quite a bit, great video Capp
Thanks 👍 I appreciate that!
Loved this and I've been playing for years
Awesome to hear, thanks!
Thx a lot this will definately helps at darkness falls :D
I do the tower myself. 15x15 and 5 tall, double wall with columns in the center. I use wood frames over the sides and as a stairwell all block. Wood frames so I can both shoot though and remove when attacked.
Looks like a tall pillbox with no windows on the first floor. I may have a stairwell or latter in the middle leading down. Makes a great place to store, sort and make stuff at night.
Sometimes I may add a floor or two with windows on the second floor and up.
But I like your builds to.
Thanks Capp, nothing I didn't already know, but always enjoy watching you do it too. Good for the beginners to see how it all works out.
Thanks 👍
Just grabbed the game from the sale, thank you so much for this video, really helpful!
Hope you enjoy it!
I've been playing a while now, but this helps a lot actually
12:30 it is recommend to put sledge turret on half block so when you met wi demolition it will not hit the chess part.
also another trick for sledge turret user. place a block before the point that zombie will get into sledge turret range so it have to jump up then drop down. this process will take speed out of zombie so it will not jump zooming througe sledge turret range and the turret will keep up with zombie easier.
for the one that didn't know if you hit demo in the chess he will trigger the bomb on himself and do a lot of block damage that will destroy your base.
Had my first demo last night and did not know this. took 2 days to repair my house. Now to build a spot to fight before the next moon.
im currently doing a darkness falls play though but being a dedicated player since build 16 i find that the first few horde nights its good to have a fall back plan like a building you can get into quickly don't be afraid to play a little offensive in the open in the first 2-3 hoard nights it helps keep the zombies away from your build and keep the area more or less untouched just be careful of vultures and dogs other than that you should be roughly ok if your not using sprinting zombies i personally have played the game so long i like to play it a little more casual now with jogging zombies in the beginning then ramp up the heat when i get a little more settled in (please excuse my broken English and punctuation)
as of alpha 20 almost every zombie can get through a 1 block high space so you need to put in bars or a 1/4 block to keep them from getting in.
This
oh man... thanks!
The old see through frames are still a shape you can find in the shape menu too and you can upgrade it to concrete, it's really nice
thank you! my hubs and i just started playing this game and i wanted to start thinking of base layouts and sturf. this was helpful😄
You're so welcome!
Those are brilliant Ideas. I never thought of any of them. It never occurred to me to try and manipulate the environment to get the zombies to come at you from a specific point.
Bruh. You can cheese the AI so hard.. Not sure in alpha 20 as much anymore.
Very good Guide Thank you !
No problem!
Oh my! Great advice! TY😄❤
Any time!
On base 1 (the bunker) it's super helpful to fill those fighting slits with plates. Then the whole perimeter supports the top (much stronger). And it allows your base to be a tower base as "plan B". Plus in A20, zombies can get through an exactly 1x1 opening if they get boosted up 1 block by a dog or another crouching zombie. Plates + wedge tips + spikes with a top-escape, and bars around the top, is a great combo.
On the stairs issue with the corridor, I do it exactly opposite of what you describe. I use block-jumps at the low levels, which zombies 'cannot' get confused about. and then it becomes a ramp near the top after it's merged into a 1-wide path. Most zombie confusion with paths up, are when they are halfway up a ramp or stairs, and trying to jump up to an opposite direction ramp or stairs, and depending on their exact placement, they may not be able to make the jump, that's when they get frustrated and start beating up your stairs. The other way zombies damage your stairs is when they get in a traffic jam, and the zombie waiting behind other zombies starts hitting things because they're stuck in traffic. If you have a broad, spread out block-step at the ground level, it breaks up the traffic flow and eases congestion at the 1-block wide path. (although your design where the narrowing to 1-block path is done with a drop does eliminate a lot of damage caused by traffic jams).
pls make a vdieo on what u mean
@@jssxa9998 which part?
the base-1 suggestion just uses plates to abuse 7D2D's odd building mechanics, to 'float' support through a seemingly open area. Just makes the support of the top of the bunker more robust. And also limits the space available so it's very hard for A20 zombies to crawl through the opening.
the ramp? takes a bit more to describe. I don't have the software and such to make a video really.
visually looks like this from the side:

It's a ramp, which goes down until you're 2 blocks above ground. Then it goes out 1 square block flat (still 2 blocks above the ground), then jumps down to a wrap-around of 1-block-high square blocks. In the poopy depiction I made with keyboard symbols, that bottom most part is a C shape made out of of five 1 block high square blocks, which wraps around the 2-block high square block. And then from that block, the ramp.
If it makes it simpler to understand, just build most of a 2-high pyramid out of square blocks. Like lay down 6 blocks in 2 rows of 3, then on one of the middle blocks put on more square block on top. Then ramp up from there.
The intent of it, is this:
Coming at it from ANY direction, they jump up 1 block somewhere in that 5 square blocks in a C shape wrapping the bottom of the ramp. From there, they will jump up to the single 2-block high square block. In this pathing, they cannot get confused at the corners of stairs or ramps. They will always hop twice. Once onto the wrap-around of 5 1block high blocks, and then again onto the single 2-block high block. And all the zombies end up on exactly that block. Then a ramp up from there. Zombies run up ramps fastest. And you want them to evacuate that block and make room for more zombies fast.
It's impossible for the zombies to interact with your ramp (or stairs whatever), from any direction other than the desired direction. There's no issues of zombies 'wanting' to jump 1.1 blocks up at the side of your ramp, failing, and getting angry. There are other pyramid-like layouts for the bottoms of ramps. But making it 1 block high jumps, removes any/all ambiguity from the zombie pathing.
The only block likely to be hit by zombies, is the 2-high square block. if you have just 10 cement, use it on that particular block. Later it can be your only steel block on a concrete base. This is because even with the ramp running up, zombies sometimes have to wait their turn to jump up to that block. And they are impatient & grumpy. But really this is the most robust ramp/stairs/etc. build, as it really minimizes path confusion & traffic jams for zombies.
Faster feed of zombies into your kill zone also maximizes XP & Loot. But it's worth slowing them down to make 2 hops, so that they don't get stupid about how to go up your ramp, and beat on things instead of pathing. Granted, most people make bases which let zombies fall (to make survival easier). I consider that a waste of zombie XP/loot ;) But you could make your elevated path cause falling. The '2 Jumps + Ramp' is very good at avoiding confused zombie pathing & traffic jams for your elevated pathways, either way.
Personally, I like to set up traps & shooting angles which pre-soften zombies for player-made killing hits (so the traps don't steal XP). Feed zombies in as fast as possible for max XP/loot. And set up the shooting angles to make cops & demos pretty easy to deal with. I call it a reversed kill corridor. But that's a whole different and much more complicated discussion.
( note: right now I'm experimenting with using half-blocks for a zero-jump system, which is impossible to confuse zombies, and would speed up their route into the kill zone. That probably would require a video though. Zombies know they can't jump 1.5 blocks up. They just often 'think' they can jump 1.1 blocks up, but can't, and go irritable as they approach the sides of ramps/stairs. )
@@kathrynck ty man
I'm still a newbie so this helped a lot. Great video.
Glad it was helpful!
If you have a bunker style base, I HIGHLY recommend that you place some ramps on the outside of the roof, followed by a ring of bars extending outward from the ramp tips (even wood is fine). This will keep the zombies from stacking and climbing onto your roof, then causing havoc from above. You can also walk around the bars to get easy headshots from above, just watch out for vultures, spiders and cop vomit.
You can kinda combine the bunker and tower bases into 1 base design. Put plates in the fighting openings around the bunker, which prevents crawl-through, and adds a ton of support to the roof (your openings aren't structural gaps anymore). Then put in the wedge tips on the ground to ramp zombies up into spikes. But instead of a solid roof, use iron bars, and place them slightly higher (like sitting right on top of where he built the roof blocks in the video), and extend them out one block beyond the spikes around the edges. (you'll need a 'double-bars' spot to attach the ladder to). If your bunker gets compromised, you go up the ladder and you're in a tower base, with a hollow core which you can shoot down into, as well as a periphery you can shoot down into.
But yeah, none of that protects against cops or vultures. If you can get a junk turret though, and place it on a corner post several blocks higher than the roof, it'll clean up vultures which get close at least. One junk turret with a drum magazine mod can handle a LOT of vultures without reloading. Just make sure it's just high enough not to shoot at ground zombies.
the bunker base is usually my go to, but i put the front door on the second floor and put 5 poles outward, then build stairs attached to those poles. it will give them a path to you so they will run to the door, you then set arms out on the side to put electric traps, and under the stairs (ground level) you have blade traps for when they fall. its a great starter/beginner base and its like the only build i know that works. 3rd floor i usually have my forges and a cage so i can shoot down by the door. you then can surround your base with trip wires for a alarm and put mines on the 3 blocks at top of stairs. if there is a steep hill going down next to you they will dig to you and dig up under the bunker.
I’m newer to the game and this video helps so much so thanks a bunch for making it for noobs like myself! 😊
Happy to help :)
Danke endlich mal ein gutes Video zum Base bau. Danke Grüße aus Deutschland
I made this one horde bunker witch had a very wide opening and when they got to a certain point they were SMG turrets in angled wall holes so they could only shoot at certain angles, then at the end of the tunnel ot closes down to a a one block opening, rarely things got thought in witch case my friend the .44 vulture and smg took care of the rest
Entertaining. And thank you for the video. Should you build the tower a lot higher for later horde nights? And other than more durable blocks, 4 pillars, and bars for birds, do you change it as time goes on? I am not sure how this would do against spider zombies and the other ranged baddies as you get farther along. You are really exposed up there, aren't you?
GG, Capp00 as always! Well explained to our new A20 friends!
Glad to hear!
@@capp00 I've been working on some new horde base concepts related to castle building and implementing some Woodle ideas. Just lovin' A20. Can't wait to see A21, minus maybe the new clothes ;)
me and frends only built a mix of the first two, certainly lasted for very long until we unlocked everything, but right now imma try to make a mix of them along with a corridor in a lake just for funzies
Very helpful for all the new players!
Glad you think so!
I add a stone/concrete square checkerboard pattern above ground , all around, forces zombies to jump up, step 1 forward and then drop into another hole thereby slowing the running zombies piling quickly at wall.. add barb wire and or metal spike traps
Oh, I NEED this...
Just started playing a month back on Scavenger with no Horde's
Joined a Server two days ago and they have Horde's on Day 5(nobody told me this). I logged on, Day 9 during the night, "Oh, I've got 4 days till 14, better start working on a Horde Base.
Morning hits, I scout around a bit on foot.. and notice the '10' has turned Red!
/Cue Yakety Sax!
I managed to reinforce a nearby Garage into a Bunker base, the walls were Cobblestone Brick, the Garage Door itself I reinforced with Iron and I used two Iron Hatches for the 'kill tunnel'
Heart was racing the entire time :)
...
Ah, yes "escape route"
I knew I forgot something :)
Glad I didn't run out of arrows or extra bones.
A favorite of mine is a proper pillar base. Take a 4x4 square and place 4 block tall pillars in each corner, and connect them all together at the top, leaving the 3x3 space in the middle open for bars. Rinse and repeat, I think the largest I've built was easily over 50 of those squares. Just run bars all over the thing, place hatches or shutters ringed with bars in that 3x3 for throwables. And it's super cheap to repair, even if half of it gets knocked down because of some demo accidents. I usually have an escape tunnel in a central bunker of the thing myself, I just fill in one of those pillars except for the center block and run a ladder down.
It's probably going to make a comeback for me since TFP broke zombie pathing so my moat base is useless since zombies don't know what ladders are lmao.
Newbie here. Interesting choices as popular beginner bases. I've been playing a lot of Terraria recently and my first thought was to literally just dig a small trench, and let the zeds fall in and you just line the top with ladders, and there ya go entire hoard caught lol don't kill em, fill the hole up and less spawns to deal with lol
Nice educational video for beginners to 7D2D for some easy starter base ideas for horde night. Heck I will even admit and old vet like myself learned something new, double stacking the bars like that. Never even considered doing that before, even though it seems such a simple concept *Mind blown*. I think that will become more popular since the last patch with some of the shapes losing a lot of the durability they used to have (like the poles, concrete used to be 5000 now 1250, so some bases will have to adapt or be keen to repair more frequently, but the bars have full durability and with the ability to now make concrete or steel bars those should become more popular in use.
Thank you sir!
Even for an experienced player, this was very useful!
Glad to hear it!
So, what you're saying is you've done some Basic Bare Bones Base Building for Beginners :-) I really tried to keep up with all the "B" words but O lost count lol. Cool video though Capp, I'm sure new players will find it useful. I love your testing, proof of concept and building videos, they're what turned me on to your channel in the first place.
Excellent!
As for the corridor base design, instead of using those iron bars which aren't very cost effective for how much damage they can tank, you could instead go for hatchdoors with a space free above it but with a roof above that free space - effectively making a much better in terms of cost effectiveness airlock between you and the zombies where you can freely fire at them without them being able to get to you - as well as having a means to close and open the hatches as you see fit.
The design that I use is having robotic sledges knocking zombies down from the raised platform, and those that get through get funneled into a row of ladder hatches. I have all of them open except for 2 right at the start, every time a hatch is destroyed I move back one and open another hatch so I'm always 2 hatches away from the horde.
I've never had it so the horde reaches the end, but if they were to reach the end I lower a draw bridge that leads to a tower styled base with spinning traps that I can turn on as my last line of defense.
I played up until level 200~ or so on my last playthrough and had absolutely no problems with that base design, some good advice I would part would be to add blade traps down into the fall zone as that can keep the horde more manageable as the blade keeps them floor bound for longer or turns them into crawlers which again keeps the wave manageable.
That and to make sure that you don't just upgrade the pillars, upgrade the floor surrounding it too, and even double up on the pillars making them 3x3's for more durability. You want the floor upgraded because sometimes your sledge might trigger a demo zombie, or if you have turret traps then they can often trigger the demo's also. If a demo goes off he can destroy the weak ground your sturdy pillar is resting on and instantly topple a portion of your platform.
You want turrets mainly for birds, if you can have their aim away from the zombies side of the platform so that you can avoid problems like triggering demo's.
Can I turn on food or ester indicstors or it is a mod or something? Cool vid, very usefull. Thanks.
Great video. I`m guilty myself of always going too over the top with my bases and it just becomes so elaborate and full of traps and corridors the horde poses no threat whatsoever so I started building more of the tower ones just to have some very basic protection and just actively play more of the game. Once you figure how to trap zombies in running loops and stuff the hordes becomes way too easy and cheesy and it feels like cheating almost.
Yeah, same.
I've designed bases just to see how much XP & loot can possibly be accumulated with bare minimum maintenance. Day 7000 insane/nightmare/64 with zero risk, and loot stacked in mounds which are shoulder-high. But it kinda kills engagement with the game pretty quickly.
Just got the game a week ago! Super exciting and has more to it than I thought! Learned a lot from your video so thank you! So scary playing by yourself though 😅 anyone? I’m on Xbox
Glad I could help!
great video buddy
Glad you enjoyed
Question:
If you did like a bunker style horde night base, and instead of spike on the top of the wall above the window, I wonder how well blade traps would do.
Hi capp00. Just a base idea. Iv seen on neebs. Have you ever held down the poi on the edge of the canyon in the desert. I know neebs gaming had 5 players all pitching in but it was a diff base each horde night so think it was night 21 or 28. Would love to see your version of it.
Keep up the top shelf content.
Loyal follower kopwolf 👍👍
Not sure if this is a new thing but I fought a day 21 horde this morning in a corridor style with solid walls and has cops puking from the side with no line of sight. I like the corridor myself because it gives you multiple ways to fight with just 1 build. I got the idea from Capp.
That is very interesting. In A19 to block the sight of a cop as long as you can in a horde night was very important.
I wonder if you can craft a ladder system on the inside so you can at least get out if things get too much, it just means you won't be able to get back in.
I have not found a reliable block to make them fall down over and over in A20 yet. Have you found any that work with feriles and dogs?
are there still "Fake paths" like A19 had? like those hemishere blocks set below half blocks that for some reason zombies thought they could path to you, and would simply run right off the edge? or is that patched out, cause I'll be doing some kind of corridor base, I love speccing into snipers for hoard night.
This is very strange to see a base construction video from you ))) I would not be surprised if you let us know which POI is the most suitable for a base.
Hey Capp are you using a mod to show your food and water bars?
I actually built my base on top of a Parking Garage. Destroyed both top level ramps and the center stairwell and built a decent wooden structure for protection from the stupid birds lol.
Airborn attackers also known as stupide birds 🐦
I always build the killing floor variant which I find best and thanks for this informative video
I call them pigeons lol. Stupid birds ;-)
In A 20, with a mod, you can make the minibike faster then the stupid birds. I love that, because i hate this stupid dangerous birds. If this ugly flying ratdogs attacks you, driving a minibike (they dont like that), you better stop and fight this stupid birds or you will regret it (i have many experience with that :)
@@wizzardrincewind9458 it's faster than the birds? that's awesome! I just crafted a motorcycle (big upgrade from a bicycle), and I had the books for both the supercharger and the fuel saver mod, so i made those as well. I haven't even really tested it out properly yet hehe.
They didn’t patch out the negative clothing stamina reduction (basically giving you a + in stamina regeneration. So you can basically run the whole horde night
My favourite base is a tower with a door, zombies group up around the door so it makes grenades and fire kill many at once.
Hey there!
tried to build a corridor style base, where the horde has to traverse a narrow path to be kicked off by sledges, then fall a short bit into a pit with blade traps, but with a easy path back up. Also, have added 4 or so shotgun turrets, and, well...
It worked well in creative testing but on our server, the sledges barely ever succeed in knocking the Zs off and those that land in the pit go into destroy mode pretty much immediately. I am not sure how best to alter the design :/
We already have iradiated ones, cops, army guys and even some demolishers.
I feel something is wrong with the basic kick.off loop, which prevents me from investing into just pumping more turrets out.
Also, we have shit luck with loot, and though we have brutal zombies and turrets, basic repeating rifles are basically unheard of, and we just found the schematics for the steel clubs
Any help would be much apreciated
do you have mods for the health and water or is that just the old style?
I can attest to the fact that the first bunker base does NOT work for later stages. It might work for the first few blood moons but I tried this base on day 91 (had been using a POI before that) and the zombies both crawled through the opening as well as broke down the cobblestone. Then my base just collapsed. I'm gonna try upgrading it to concrete or steel next and see what happens.
Good stuff. I get that you were just doing ultra basic and seeing the smaller beams at the end for the zombs to run across does suggest to so that they should experiment. But I do hope you will look into using the rounded beams or pillars laying horizontal instead of flat beams some day. Unless FP has nerfed those the zombs have a very hard time running on them and fall off if they must deviate pretty much at all. My typical bas will have a beam set up long enough to put at least 3 bars along he path. I want the zombs to jump over and not get into hit mode. Just wasting resources to have to rebuild over and over. Let them jump then try to land on a rounded beam. They seldom do and the times they do then I am waiting for them so instead of things breaking down and 30 zombs getting to me at once, I get 1 or 2 a minute spread over horde night.
I need to run a horde base test to see if they nerfed them on the rounded beams though so might not be helping here. Still, I am positive it is better to have them jump over a bar and maybe fall off then having to repair stacked bars constantly.
Capp left a LOT of advanced stuff out so players can figure out stuff for themselves, plus he can do an "intermediate" and "advanced" video followup later.
CAP: "Build a 5x5 bunker"
ALSO CAP: builds a 5x6
Wondered how long it would take for someone to notice. Congrats. You win....nothing :P
That's our Capp. Words and Number are not really his thing but, if company is visiting you can give him a ball of Aluminum Foil and he will play quietly in a corner with it.
I sure will!
We built an Castle 😁
Outer yard, inner yard (farm), little castle house and main castle house.
Outer is a maze trap setup with electric fence, pressureplates connected to darts then it runs up to b
"blade corridor" and out to the yard plaza... Surrounded with motion sensored shootgun turrets.
Maze system goes on inside the 3 floor little house aswell..
Everytjing is built on an Island with a large bridge crossing the water that holds 4x4 trucks passning over.
The castle is ofc Surrounded by a large castle Wall and the user entrance is at the backside with a motionsensor triggered powered drawbridge.
We feel safe and The bloodmoon radiated ferall zombies only enters the Outer Open yard then they die.
We do feel safe @ day 120 😁
wait what is that smg that broke the concrete instantly because i kinda need that to help break stuff when cleaning up a new base - ty for your time and the nice video
It's the Admin Digger tool. You have to get it in creative mode.
Wont the new crawl mechanic sorta make the wedge tip bunker obsolete?
First time I'm seeing this game. Looks crazy fun. Does it come in VR as well?..
It is a blast, but not it doesn't have VR support.
You forgot the most importand. A raised plattform with a hole in the middle. Zombies will pile up below you and you shoot them all night long through the hole. You can build it from wood because it does not take to much damage. That is how i mostly start the game.
I've been playing since a16 and I created a horde base design back then that worked then and still works in a20 lol
It's not an afk base so you get all the xp, and it's not 100% safe so you do need to pay attention, but the zombies barely damage it even late game so it's easy to maintain.
What's your base set-up like?
@@AnotherCoyote My first design was based on a happy accident while i was being chased and I noticed zombies had to stop, jump, recover, then continue chasing me over 1 block high obsticles. So I started with a ramp leading up to around 4 to 5 blocks high and a single block wide walkway that has a single block every 2 or 3 spaces. I usually only need 2 or 3 obstacles for me to have enough time to kill them even with a t1 pistol. Then I started watching youtubers like Capp00 and Jawoodle and started making tweaks such as using wedge tips for the obstacle and also opposite that so that when they jump, they fall most of the time. Once I started using that I only needed one obstacle to handle all but the most difficult hordes. It should be notied that all animals are not affected by the fall most of the time, so the dogs get through easily. I used to use the invisible barrier trick to keep my main pillar from being attacked, but that doesn't work anymore and I haven't tried the updated version yet lol
@@foxstarwind99 Cool. I wonder if there are pictures of base ideas like yours anywhere? The downside being if they're on the 7 Days to Die forum then the devs will counter any good ideas players come up with there.
@@AnotherCoyote The corridor base Capp00 describes at around 10 minutes in this video is about the same kind of thing as what I use, just with my tweaks that I have found work best for me. There are a lot of examples out there lol but have fun with it and test out some things and see what works for you.
You forgot about the hatch style base, it's a corridor style base but you use hatches to control the zombies and you can beat them down. Better for sledgehammers but still very viable.
I didn't forget, that's just a variation of the corridor base. I was just showing off the basic design styles. There are tons of variations to the corridor base.
Using hatches is dangerous now that zombies can crawl. Some will crawl into the side of the hatch and damage it, while being completely covered from you being able to hit them unless you deliberately take a hit walking up into them to look over the top of the hatch. As well, they can now just dive in the air and shoot through the 1x1 opening above the hatch.
hey, thanks for the compliment at the beginning. i am one of those who can go on the street, with a wooden bow, and survive. in alpha 19 i got to day 77 before i got bored. day 7 to 77 without a horde base. normal difficulty. im trying it in 20 now.
Rock on!
@Walking Jedd Gaming yea, i survived day 7 with a wooden bow. i bought an ak after that. but didnt build a base until after day 49. its much harder in this one because the nurse and stripper are so much faster. no deaths. been playing since alpha 13.
@Walking Jedd Gaming if you ever do decide to try it on the street, some tips. get the college jacket and the high endurance running shoes. if you run in a NW, SW, NE or NW direction the zombies will line up. so a road that goes in those directions is best or a curve or a big flat area with no grass. with the college jacket you run faster then the dogs.
@Walking Jedd Gaming no armor except light armor helmet with light, unless you read that one book that has no mobility penalty when in combat or have the mods and skill to lower the penalty. if you run, turn around shoot, run and shoot run and shoot, you dont get hit. i do have casts, vitamins and painkillers, as well as first aid in my hot bar. and the energy drinks if you can find them, which i usually have 1 or 2 by day 7 just in case. i had 9 energy drinks by day 49 so its possible.
Afk base on darkness fall is now very good i know
Very clever build though for the base.
Thanks!
