My theory is that he's working on the stun baton series but he's putting these videos out first and these are more relaxed and laid-back because you stretched out from doing this done bad we know you love it don't try to hide it
I mean he did announce Oct 15th as the start of that series. He's totally doing the playthrough now, or waiting for someone to help with the mod(s) he wants to use for immersion. I just hope he doesn't do permadeath/all cops or something. 😂 i think he is going all out on it. Or at least, that's my guess.
20:29 I am thinking if you bring the crown block a few blocks higher, making it the platform where you will fight the zombies. Zombies stand on them, but when they die, the loot bag falls through the crown. Basically you are not fighting the zombies on the pole anymore.
additionally, if wanted, you could use the crown block across the entire path toward you and make a chute system underneath that collects the loot bags into one location
I think a pretty simple solution to the original design with the ducts is to just give the zombies a path to run back around once they fall onto the ducts. The loot bags will drop down the ducts, and the zombies will just loop back around to the fighting position. They'll still sit down there in destroy area mode sometimes, but a sledge turret could also help with that
Instead of having the loot bag duct multiple blocks below the fighting platform… what if it was actually part of the platform? If you replace the horizontal poles out front with horizontal crown 3-ways, oriented like a frame, the bags will fall thru but zombies will not as demonstrated. Instead of three ducts side by side just put one duct, 2 blocks deep, like you had it, but only in the middle. The zombies can still fall off the sides if they bunch up and they can’t land on the duct because it’s connected to what they fell off of. Just an idea… I’m always looking for ways to collect bags early because our horde night is longer than the 20 min bag time limit. Thanks! Loved your coffee shop series!
My idea based on what you've done here. You were nearly there at 20:30. Instead of solid blocks right above you, put in scaff ladders so you can shoot through them, and then the loot bags just slide down to you. As for screamers, I'm thinking a trigger plate and a cage under a trap door to hold them. You step on the plate when they are right there, they fall down into the cage that is under the access platform, and you farm them that way.
Josh, I did see another youtuber make a base that does this exact thing (minus screamers, its just a loot bag catcher). He used a series of 1/8th blocks, the ones that are basically cubes but really tiny, and he alternated them like a checkerboard or something (I wish I could remember the exact orientation...) But basically, zombies run over the blocks because the gap is too small, but loot bags fall through into a pit you can build below. Try some blocks like that, work with smaller sizes and different orientations. Loot bags DO have a smaller hitbox than zombies can walk on, so just try to find the sweet spot.
2nding this, it was CautiousPancake who made that one. To pile on to that, a 3rd creator, Erie Knight (hope I spelled that correctly) of the channel Psuedo Posse, made a pretty nifty screamer xp farm setup. If you combined those, along with swapping a few blocks like using the 0.025m pole + ladder setup and the God-tier crown molding blocks that Woodle, one could make a phenomenal crafting + xp/loot farm base that should guarantee to filter (most) screamers and loot bags to their respective areas, whilst leaving the rest to be slaughtered by players and/or automated traps as they see fit.
In making ramp bases, I've constructed a gently sloping ramp with wedge60 blocks, with walls to the side that stop 1/2 block above the ramp (made with upside down wedge60 blocks). What happens is that when the zombies run up the ramp towards my fighting position, they knock zombie corpses and loot bags off the side of the ramp, where they collect for the end of horde night. You could do the same thing horizontally with half blocks.
Simple fix, use a powered garage door with a motion sensor under the "kill spot" to retract when a zombie lands on it, should pull the loot in and the zombies fall off. Could use a tripwire as well.
I feel like loot bags could possibly be caught in like an open air style basket. Something large enough to have zombies slip through but keep the bags off the ground like at the spot you put the chutes in. I do like the idea of possibly going robotics expert for the double sledges as a way of maybe dealing with any zombies that happen to stand on the basket.
You could place a door laying horizontally in front of the barrier on the zombie side, that will hold both of the zombies and the bags. Once you have enough bags you could open the door dropping the bags into 2 shoots. Closing the door might cause the zombies to be forced from the block back up to the fighting position or out of the space falling to rerun the route.
I agree with the gentleman who said moving the Sledge down to where the shoots were to knock the zombies off but also can't you run to Sledge tours once you reach a certain level in it tech tree
If zombies are bunched up in a tight space they will push loot bags through scaf ladder and other blocks they can't fit through but loot bags can. You could also use sammy to knock zombies off of the chute area, or use garage door to drop zombies down after the loot bags go in the chute
I'd suggest having Sammy knock them onto their own recurring path like how you started the video, except instead of knocking them into a blender you knock them into an isolated return path. Then you can let screamers through if you have a chance and let them just cycle while you handle their hordes. I'd be interested to see how you would design that.
Two suggestions. First you could place a sledge turret by the top of shoot to knock zombies off. Or second you could put bars or something the zombies can't fall thru and make an underground pickup where you climb down center of your column and grab loot from below
use the duct against the bars instead of the 0.05 pole, they stand on it normally, die, drop bag and let it roll under your feet - remove the blocks you stand and fight on for the scaf ladders so you can just look down and grab them. only downside is they wont just fall off and rerun
Maybe an upside down blade trap under your killing window covering the area with the god blocks over chutes. Zombies that fall unto the chutes get diced but their loot still falls through into the chutes. Turn off the blade before going down the ladder to collect your loot.
If you make a bucket bag/zombie catcher a few blocks down from the top, that has a hole in the center, and also a way for the zombie after he falls to walk back up to the path, then living zombies will simply loop back up to you... the bucket hole in the middle allows the bags to fall into your chute. The trick is the catcher has to be far enough away from the base column so they cannot simply stop and start beating on the base - they are incentivised to take the path around and back up to get to you instead.. The bags fall, the zombies come back around.
A long time ago in like A18 I made a lootbag gumball machine type of base that utilized chutes to make them fall all the way to a smol platform at the bottom. They ended up destroying part of it which sucked but it worked for the idea I had . :3
You have your base with a path to you You build a cage with a seperat path to you and a dropper back in the cage You use sammy to push screamers into that cage and A : pick up sammy and place him sowhere else to help you with the hord Or B: you close a door infront of sammy so he wont push every other zombi in the cage If a new screamer shows up you can easely filter them out
Spider farms yo, made so many spawner farms back in the day. I automated everything I could, bamboo and sugar cane farms all day along with auto sorters and wool farm so I had an infinite supply of every color wool. Chicken farms were the worst, I never knew when to stop so I’d keep throwing chickens in till the server would start glitching lol
I think if you give up on the "no platform" part of this idea, you could use the garage doors, ideally the powered garage door, and use it similarly to the garbage disposal base, but for loot.
Have just the two loot chutes on either side with crown molding (if the bag can go through), and put a terry on the level of each chute to clear zombies off. Would require a intellect build to run two turrets though
Put the god block with the angled vent as the zombie k*lling floor. They stand on top loot falls under. You were also must there, just move your vents up.
Also here's an idea for a zombie exploiting horde base: make a tower for yourself. Doesn't matter how you make it ju have it 15-20 blocks tall and make sure zombies don't have a path to climb it. Then a couple blocks from that make a second tower that's 5 blocks shorter than yours, I'd say suggest a 10x10 hollow tower should be right. This tower needs to have a path that zombies and animals can take to the very top of it. Wraparound staircase should be plenty good. Now the top of the second tower should be just flat... And that's it. The zombies will climb the second tower to try and get to your level and if they get angry they'll just smack here and there the smoll tower. While they're climbing and doing weird shit you're free to pick them off with guns and explosives. One small addition would be a couple two block pillars on top of the tower. This way the zombies will actually attack the pillars in an attempt to get even hier and make it even less likely for them to do any actual damage to the structure. Just as a flavor make with just cobble and see how long it lasts.
Make the loot bag area 2 walls thick so they're less viable, then add a ramp from that area back to main fighting spot. Crown on top of duct to funnel bags.
Hm.. Loot bag collectors...🤔 A door or garage door would be the way to go. Put the door or flap in a suitable frame on the outside so that the loot bags can't fall out, but you can still kill the zombies because they are standing on the door/flap. Put a roller door at head height that covers the width of the door/flap when closed. This gives you a small room with the bags, while the zombies have to wait in front of the door. If the roller door is closed, open the door, etc. so that the loot bags fall into a corresponding container or ramp underneath. Then close everything again, open the roller door and repeat everything.😊 Greetings, Wally
Would this be a good situation for the Dart trap? You could make it AFK that way, maybe move away from dropping the zombies off with the central bar. Keep the zombies in the middle and shoot them in the face constantly with the dart trap and trip wire. Add some kind of filter that the zombies can walk across and the loot bags can fall down into a duct.
What about making the ball pit the chute? Then just have a ladder that goes all the way down. Then reinforce (double block/plate) the bottom to be a less attractive target to beat on.
My idea for the loot collection is drop the zombies onto the ducts and have a ramp connected to the drop zone for them to path back to the top. I will try it later today when I get the chance.
JaWoodle: stop trying to use that thin pole to thin their access to the fighting position. Put three of the "god block" door frames with the chutes under that. Place the door on the far side to open/close access: DONE.
I had a thought with the air ducts catching the loot bags, what if you just made a path back to the catwalk (and removed the bottom two ladders in the loot bucket)
Instead of gathering loot bags right up close, or down at the bottom, how about a bucket that you can reach through some bars (from that lower floor you made), but the zombies jump off, because it's 2 blocks away from your base? Like a "loot bucket on a stick" concept? EDIT: Or have a sideways facing ramp down below, causing loot bags (or ragdoll zombies) to fall to a bucket on the side you can safely reach, but isn't a viable position to attack your base. Same "loot bucket on a stick" but with some added filtering, so fewer zombies kick the bags around.
Spitballing here, but... Regarding your initial loot chute idea, if you were to have a 2nd sledgy on the side (protected by the moulding) punting the zombies off the chute, the the loot bags would fall in and the zombies would not be piling up anymore 🤔
What if, instead of catching the loot bags, try catching the zombies and letting the loot bags fall through to a separate collection system. Give the zombies a platform and a path (potentially with a zombie dropper) to get them going back to the kill zone.
Could probably have the god blocks at the bottom make a funnel to catch the bags and then a sledge to knock all the zombies off and keep the loot in place
Awsom set up, I farm screamers by building a 10 block long 2 high North to South, then another one East to West with about (6 or 7 squares) separation in T formation and run around with Zs chasing ( AP ammo works best).
You're goal should be to grab the loot without leaving the protection of the base. This isn't a horde base. The screamers are suppose to keep coming. Not shut off after 6 in-game hours. Get the zombies to die above you so you can loot the bags.
You should move the loot bag system UP 2 blocks and use them as the zombie pathway! Then they stand on the God Block while you clobbered them, but then when they die the loot bag falls through the gap!
I wish they'd add an option to control screamer activity or sensitivity. It's fine to have them as a challenge, but when they're so reactive, and you can get loops, it's annoying and no longer fun.
Why not keep the ducts but use sammie to bonk the zoms off it if you don't need that side path anymore? Or could you use the door over the ducts to flip the zoms and the bags fall through them?
What if you added a garage door for the loot bags to fall onto and when you open it it pulls the bags into the base. Give it a one block gap so when it retracts it pushes the zombies off
hey josh. making a floor of cube 1/8 centereds will keep Zs above and pass lootbags through. also since you started Fallout 4 i can give you a pro tip once you wanna get crazy with building in the game, if you want.
@@DaPopeLP yeah that's true. so to avoid it they will have to die before they go through. then it's a working filter. bladetraps, electric fences and a lot of dart traps, turrets. should do the trick. another alternative would be to use the Catwalk V2 Rail Only Double Double End, as 2 blocks high making two levels lower to walk on to get the loot from under the top one and the top one where the Zs would leave the lootbags and wouldn't fall through. building the rails on eachother makes the middle disappear.
Is there a grating block that would allow loot to fall below but zombies would not fall through? If there was you could just have a like a 3x3 grid in front of your bars for fighting, then the ducts below the grate to catch the loot bags.
Something is up with screamers - I seem to be spawning them after just dismantling a couple beds with a wrench. I tested it multiple times and each time 2 screamers spawned. It's mostly just funny it's not like they are too much of a threat, but it seems a little off.
hrmm..so you can have the zombies standing on your god crown molding block..and if you kill them..the loot bag will drop through right? then below that you put your collector to catch the loot bags and funnel into your base? Edir:i see someone else already commented this idea. so you mention having a second person to collect the bags and git rid of zeds...how about a sammy to kick off zombies but the loot bags drop in.
I have no idea if this would work, it is just an idea from the top of my head. Would it not be possible to have a pit at the bottom of the tower where the loot bags land, then roof that pit with a grid like block. One where the smaller loot bag can fall through into the pit, but where the zombies cannot? If that is possible, you could just extend the tunnel inside the tower to go all the way down to the pit level to pick up the loot, while the zombies run around on top. Even if the loot does not fall through the grid and instead lies on top, you might still be able to open the loot bags through the grid. Again, I have no idea if this is even possible.
Can you use the God block as the floor in the bucket at the bottom and then use a shaft through your tower to get under them to grab them? Or use the scaffolding ladders at the base to reach through?
seprate the screamer and put her in a loop she cant escape do the same for the others that way you can put them on a loop and just fuck off when you dont want to loot
What about a second platform just above ground level with a garage door over it and a path back to the start for zombies so you can seal it off and have a segmented ladder in the core going to that room so you throw a lever and collect loot them back to killing? Does any of what I said make sense?
You're thinking about it the wrong way, Josh. Your duct system was great, you just need to keep zombies off of it. Why not use a sledge turret or a door system to knock the zombies off of it? 🤔
Why wouldn't you put another god block under the fighting position so Zs get bonked off of the bag collection duct but the bags funnel in? might need to lower the collection area so you can funnel everything to a single block where a second Sammy can bonk. Would need the 2 turret perk though.
been trying your builds for a while but they dont work on our server 12 people warr diff games stage 250 per person day 35 lost both horde bases they just smash through blocks in 6 hits they dont path the same way they are faster could you test this ?
They're going to have to do something about the screamers or everyone is just going to mod them out. I understand 5 crafting stations or automatic fire blasting spawning them, but I can't even move loot from box to box or run one crafting station without spawning 2-3 screamers now. It's ridiculous. A couple weeks of 1.0 and I just modded them out, I'm over and done with them.
Try adding the sledge turret down with loot shoots. Loot will stay, Sammy punches zombies off
came here to say the exact same thing. Put the god blocks horizontally so sammy can punch in its full range
@@nightshade7240 rofl, same, same..lol great minds think alike.
I was thinking zombie dropper on the side of it, that way the ones still alive just walk off the side
I had the same idea. High enough int you can run 2 Sammy's and have loot for days
@@nightshade7240 me too...
My theory is that he's working on the stun baton series but he's putting these videos out first and these are more relaxed and laid-back because you stretched out from doing this done bad we know you love it don't try to hide it
The stun baton playlist has 18 unavailable videos so far
I mean he did announce Oct 15th as the start of that series. He's totally doing the playthrough now, or waiting for someone to help with the mod(s) he wants to use for immersion. I just hope he doesn't do permadeath/all cops or something. 😂 i think he is going all out on it. Or at least, that's my guess.
I think the same plus he might use the things he discovered in Woodle Park for the Baton series

"Sammy didn't have the gusto to get her off the first time" omfg, that killed me. You know there's a pill for that😂😂
I love the idea! I think you could try using another robosledge to knock the zombies off the ducts.
Your chute idea works great just make a spot for Sammy to punch any zombies who land on the chutes thanks Josh this added to my base pretty good

Can't wait for the 200k sub, Stun button only challenge 😅
20:31 You backed into that foot fetish joke very smartly. Had to laugh, pause, and comment. Golden delivery; subtle enough to be witty.
Maybe use a door closer to your fighting area and open it to drop bags into your chutes, then close before more zombies come up?
Sledgie --> Duct Duct Duct
First few seconds of the video, already laughed remembering that "Hansolo-ing the screamer".
And now on a screamer farm.

Drop the loot collector down a few blocks and set a sledge to knock the z's off the top of the collector.

Regarding your initial loot chute idea, if you were to have a 2nd sledgy on the side (protected by the moulding) punting the zombies off the chute, the the loot bags would fall in and the zombies would not be piling up anymore 🤔
The block that is essentially a giant hole is a possible block to use since zombies don't like to path over it.
What if, instead of catching the loot bags, try catching the zombies and letting the loot bags fall through to a separate collection system. Give the zombies a platform and a path (potentially with a zombie dropper) to get them going back to the kill zone.
Maybe you can use the chutes you had at first, but just give the Zeds a way to go back into the loop - they cant get up to you so they attack at you?
Could probably have the god blocks at the bottom make a funnel to catch the bags and then a sledge to knock all the zombies off and keep the loot in place
Awsom set up, I farm screamers by building a 10 block long 2 high North to South, then another one East to West with about (6 or 7 squares) separation in T formation and run around with Zs chasing ( AP ammo works best).
You're goal should be to grab the loot without leaving the protection of the base. This isn't a horde base. The screamers are suppose to keep coming. Not shut off after 6 in-game hours. Get the zombies to die above you so you can loot the bags.
You should move the loot bag system UP 2 blocks and use them as the zombie pathway! Then they stand on the God Block while you clobbered them, but then when they die the loot bag falls through the gap!
Use the god block in place of the .05 pillar. Zombies can stand on it, and loot will fall through to the duct underneath
The stun baton talk is getting old. Let this man live his life
Doesn't help with the loot sorter dilemma, but one thing that would significantly enhance automation in our bases would be a simple NOT gate.
@Josh Maybe make a "Plinko" game system below. where zoms can stand but loot bags just fall in. is there a "half length pole"?
I wish they'd add an option to control screamer activity or sensitivity.
It's fine to have them as a challenge, but when they're so reactive, and you can get loops, it's annoying and no longer fun.
We need a JaWoodle park series (after batons 😂) where every hoard, he fights in one of his bases he built.
you could run a tripwire across it and have a door that opens to push the zombies off
Why not keep the ducts but use sammie to bonk the zoms off it if you don't need that side path anymore?
Or could you use the door over the ducts to flip the zoms and the bags fall through them?
Did you try ramp frames on top of the chutes? They're basically hollow. Not sure if loot bags or zombies can fall through though...
Josh. I have literally put the scaf ladder in a base and the zombies climbed the back side of it.
You are the best for the muppet treasure island reference and clip good sir!
use the god block for a ceiling? You’re below, attacking upward and loot bags fall through down to you.
What if you added a garage door for the loot bags to fall onto and when you open it it pulls the bags into the base. Give it a one block gap so when it retracts it pushes the zombies off
'sprinkle a little bit of fuck yeah'
I have the crown piece in my base as well, but zombies do manage to ragdoll through them
hey josh. making a floor of cube 1/8 centereds will keep Zs above and pass lootbags through. also since you started Fallout 4 i can give you a pro tip once you wanna get crazy with building in the game, if you want.
Zombies still fall through if they get knocked down sadly.
@@DaPopeLP yeah that's true. so to avoid it they will have to die before they go through. then it's a working filter. bladetraps, electric fences and a lot of dart traps, turrets. should do the trick. another alternative would be to use the Catwalk V2 Rail Only Double Double End, as 2 blocks high making two levels lower to walk on to get the loot from under the top one and the top one where the Zs would leave the lootbags and wouldn't fall through. building the rails on eachother makes the middle disappear.
Is there a grating block that would allow loot to fall below but zombies would not fall through? If there was you could just have a like a 3x3 grid in front of your bars for fighting, then the ducts below the grate to catch the loot bags.
Something is up with screamers - I seem to be spawning them after just dismantling a couple beds with a wrench. I tested it multiple times and each time 2 screamers spawned. It's mostly just funny it's not like they are too much of a threat, but it seems a little off.
It's always great to see you try to create new things, but I'm not sure if this one is feasible
Peoblem: protect the screamers.
Solution: 50 torches.
Why: cuz infinite screamers
Reminder.... since 1.1 update, cops can puke through scaffold ladders now
hrmm..so you can have the zombies standing on your god crown molding block..and if you kill them..the loot bag will drop through right? then below that you put your collector to catch the loot bags and funnel into your base? Edir:i see someone else already commented this idea. so you mention having a second person to collect the bags and git rid of zeds...how about a sammy to kick off zombies but the loot bags drop in.
I have no idea if this would work, it is just an idea from the top of my head. Would it not be possible to have a pit at the bottom of the tower where the loot bags land, then roof that pit with a grid like block. One where the smaller loot bag can fall through into the pit, but where the zombies cannot? If that is possible, you could just extend the tunnel inside the tower to go all the way down to the pit level to pick up the loot, while the zombies run around on top.
Even if the loot does not fall through the grid and instead lies on top, you might still be able to open the loot bags through the grid.
Again, I have no idea if this is even possible.
Cellar door rather than a chute sticking outside so you can drop the zombies when they get stuck
The sledgeturret can differntiate between zombies and lootbags…
Can you use the God block as the floor in the bucket at the bottom and then use a shaft through your tower to get under them to grab them? Or use the scaffolding ladders at the base to reach through?
It's not the same as a flamethrower, but would campfires at the bottom of a zombie dropper work as a firepit? Or a hellmouth if you will.
seprate the screamer and put her in a loop she cant escape do the same for the others that way you can put them on a loop and just fuck off when you dont want to loot
Why do these youtubers like never use setter blocks for these horde bases, it's twice as durable as concrete.
Steel blocks.
What about using a 2nd punchy to knock any zombies off the loot bag catcher? It only punches zombies, not the loot bags
What about a second platform just above ground level with a garage door over it and a path back to the start for zombies so you can seal it off and have a segmented ladder in the core going to that room so you throw a lever and collect loot them back to killing? Does any of what I said make sense?
You could wire up the doors, so that when one opens the other closes! 😁
put the duct vent where the sledge is... so you fight them on the duct vent
You're thinking about it the wrong way, Josh. Your duct system was great, you just need to keep zombies off of it. Why not use a sledge turret or a door system to knock the zombies off of it? 🤔
Sledge-friendly molding blocks below the kill zone, and a small pit underneath those which is accessible via ladder?
Lol. I was thinking, maybe screamers should be called Karen.
Why wouldn't you put another god block under the fighting position so Zs get bonked off of the bag collection duct but the bags funnel in? might need to lower the collection area so you can funnel everything to a single block where a second Sammy can bonk. Would need the 2 turret perk though.
What if you used a powered garage door? Have it closed while you fight then open it. do the bags stick to the door or just go through?
Can you add a path back up from the "god blocks" to the main path to get the zombies to clear on their own?
Omg id love to see you do a Minecraft series.
This looks fun to build one 👍
What about if you add a pathway from the ducts back up to just before the hatch, so they head back up to your level?
been trying your builds for a while but they dont work on our server 12 people warr diff games stage 250 per person day 35 lost both horde bases they just smash through blocks in 6 hits they dont path the same way they are faster could you test this ?
They're going to have to do something about the screamers or everyone is just going to mod them out. I understand 5 crafting stations or automatic fire blasting spawning them, but I can't even move loot from box to box or run one crafting station without spawning 2-3 screamers now. It's ridiculous.
A couple weeks of 1.0 and I just modded them out, I'm over and done with them.
Should have put a couple Sammy's above the loot trap..
