7 Days to Die - Horde Base Breakdown - Winter's Edge - New Alpha 20 Horde Base
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- In this 7 days to die horde base series I show off a horde base, run you through an in depth build tutorial, toss a 7 day horde at it, and then judge it. Usually that’s the plan. Sometimes when the base is just too big to cover in a single video, I do the base tour and horde night. I’ll close out with some ratings and upgrade options. The goal is to pack as much information into a short video to give insight and decide if this is the best horde base for you. As I move forward with this series, I'll be taking my prior A19 bases and putting them back through the gauntlet.
=== Winter's Edge ===
This base was built on my community 7 days to die server. We are currently on day 326 and this base is still standing like a pro. Really helpful to allow a crowd of teammate to fight the horde without being on top of each other. This base was built entirely from mined and gathered resources. I went and checked my game time and I had about 60 hours in the game and the rest of the days were turned over by community members.
Many thanks to community members Crunk and Indy who joined for the horde night!
If you are building this in your world, take creative liberty and modify it! Let me know what you build with this is a starting point. Meet me down in the comments to tell me how this base looks and if you are going to give it a try!

This base was built entirely in game on my community server without any creative shenigans. The server day is around 320, but I have only played about 60 of those days and and the material gathering was all done by myself and my trusty auger. Let me know what you think and what you would change! Also if you want to see this in person, grab the server info from my discord (discord.gg/YhQwdtWW5p ). Additionally feel free to join us Thursday nights at 8pm where I will be streaming here on RUclips from the community server.
Brilliant build that incorporates so many awesome aspects. I can’t even come close to building like this IN creative, let alone doing it pure authentic from scratch. Liked and subscribed!
GNS wasn't kidding when he called you the master of 7dtd base building.. subscribing!
Making me blush. Thanks kindly!
The base was extremely functional and a great setup for multiplayer as there is plenty of room for everyone. We were able to fend off the hoard with ease.
Very roomy :)
This is a masterpiece! I've built great castles but none that were functional against an A20 horde, bravo! Subscribed.
Thanks so much Shannon!
When I watched your first iteration showing all the shapes and design ideas you showed, this castle design drew me in like a moth to the flame. FINALLY get to see it function and very impressed.
Thanks so much Squid!
That's not.a base, it's a masterpiece!
Thanks kindly heclanet!
Man, you had all kinds of effects going on at the beginning of the horde night, looked like you were in love, deaf, about to trip over something, dinner was almost ready, and you were shouting at someone.
Yeah, those vultures did a number on me ... I couldn't even figure out what all was wrong with me for a minute there.
Pardner this is 100/100...!... Thanks fer sharing... Ya got my Brain Whirring...
That is what I love to hear. It's the same for me watching other folks content and seeing nuggets of ideas I can use!
This base is one of my favorites ever! It is impressive to say the least. Every part of it is well designed and practical
Thank you so much!!
amazing build. Aesthitically pleasing, functional, roomy. Wonderful stuff! 😀
Thanks so much! I do like to have spacious places to move about :)
Incredible base, my dude!
Thank you so much Fernando!
Well done for sure. I love the design and function of it!
Thanks kindly!
This is freaking sweet man! Super great ideas I'm seeing here!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed!
Simply amazing! Great job man.
Thanks kindly Douglas!
Amazing, thank you for the inspiration. Really glad this is on a hill, tucked against a rock back drop with a moat... Realism at its finest.
thanks!
WOW. That's an amazing base. Great job.
Thanks kindly Drizzit!
Very nice looking base
Dang man, this base is freaking awesome!!!
Thanks so much Asmo!
This is amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Garrett!!
Insane with the design and love the functionality.
Thank you so much Marcus!!
The Hanging Gardens as Abattoir in7D2D...Nice...!...
Thanks!
Very interesting and inspirational build 👍
Thanks so much !
Awesome base! Just came across the channel recently. I was wondering do you have videos showing how to recreate this cool castle?
This was built in the fly out of my head over a period of weeks - I’d love to put together a tutorial but the video would be hours long. I am think about doing thought concepts on how I design though so you could come up with your own - also I’m working on getting all my bases as downloads on discord. For this one we are streaming from here in 30 min and you are welcome to join the community server to tour it in person!
Possibly the most fun looking base I have ever seen. It might be fun to shut both sets of doors during horde night which might cause the zombies to flood into the moat. Then you could run around your moat gallery and clean them up. Might keep Crunk happy.
We could totally do that while hucking grenades and trying not to set each other on fire.
Beautiful.
Thanks kindly Bratcat Games!
I live near at least 5 Castles and this looks great it reminds me of Bodiam Castle or Dover Castle.
Awesome feedback!
awesome video
Thanks so much Sergio!
What a nice base build xD
Thanks kindly!
If it means anything, I am impressed.
It means a ton! I always like hearing from folks!
very nice base indeed!
Thanks kindly!
Dude your channels been steadily growing browski
Been loving the community here. Met some amazing folks!
Impressive!!
Thank you!
very nice
Thanks Mason!
In comparison, my base is like a direwolf was walking in the woods and took a dump next to Traitor Joe's. Maybe I'll call it "Direwolf's Excrement".
I'm not going to lie .. Direwolf's Excrement is a pretty catchy name! You might want to slap a copyright on that!
Lol holy shit that is a damn impressive base!
Thanks kindly Josh!
Ok this is by far one of the coolest Horde Base's I have seen. I play 7 days to die and stream. I have been wanting to get a server or find a great streamer friendly Server. Do you allow other Streamers to come in and set up on the server as well? I stream on Twitch please let me know if you are ok with others coming in and joining you when it comes to streaming.
Come on in and join us! The folks on the server are all friendly and engaged. I think we are around day 400 and the server just reset a month ago. Will likely reset again in early April. My only as is not to co-stream on Wednesday nights when I do my community stream -- it just gets really complicated with multiple streamers trying to chat in discord and back to their chat. Jump on into my discord if you have any questions!
Great job, it's not castle greyskull but it Is a well thought out, self sustaining fortress.
Do you plan large builds like this, out on paper first or do you just go for it?
Again great job. I look forward to seeing you @tnp2
Great question - answer ... it depends. I'm going to put out a video on my base building thought process, but typically on my large builds I sketch out an outline using excel oddly. That lets me get rough block placement and spacing of traps. In this case, I built this 100% on the fly. I had a concept in my head, but nothing on paper. So I started building the shell and then built the insides as I went. Thanks!
@@WaywardEko nice! I never thought of using excel, thats a good idea.
I love your builds and I've been working on my own with some inspiration I've got from a few of yours. I'm having trouble getting the round tower like structure to connect to a straight wall kinda like you have in this base.. what blocks/ shapes do you use?
To do this- when you are making the circle, switch the cardinal North, South, east, west center block with a regular cube instead of the circle shape -- does that make sense?
@@WaywardEko OK yes it does thank you!
@@WaywardEko Is there any way you could do a tutorial on this? Ive been fiddling around for a while now and cant make a circle any bigger than a 5 diameter lol
@@WaywardEko Great info thanks, I was going to do round towers on my main base but ended up doing a "firewatchtower" type of build because I could not figure out how to "attach" the towers to the outer walls. Feeling silly for not figuring that one out myself. Great video/editing and the build is inspiring it's so well thought out.
Also, missed the pool the last time I was on. Lemme know when the hot tub is done ;)
I added that and the study just before recording to fill out the middle level! We can just pretend the pool is a gigantic hot tub!
I like it, I like it a lot. Gives every type of play style a shot at their preference and also leaves a spot to fall into for your back up play style. Suggestion, could you drop in molotovs then light them with a grenade? Possibly set up a lane of fire..
I hadn't even thought about that !! And thanks for noticing the goal of incorporating multiple play styles!
winters edge sounds like it should be part of Game of Thrones
Yeah - I kept having Castle Black in my head.
@@WaywardEko if you can use creative mode, make a huge wall of snow & have all the zombies break thru it on horde night lol
"Mistakes were made" regarding the top area where the "Evil Flappers" can get in.😒 Why didn't you close up those gaps where they can get in if you knew they were coming in there?🤨 Good vid, love me some castles.😃👍🏾 Now, if I could only make those round towers.🤔😄
Because shiny things! I had planned to put bullet proof glass around the edges and got sidetracked with other projects. I prioritized a pool and a study over protecting the plants :)
@@WaywardEko - Oops! 😆
I am in the process of stealing this amazing base!
Please do! Theft is flattery!
Might be a good idea to make a quicker way to the very top
Not a bad call -- one emergency ladder.
Ghosting items I cured with graphic card update. Not sure that will work for you. Great video. Liked & Subbed.
I'll give that a go, but I think all of us on the server are having the same issue. Likely 2 causes - the amount of electrical work in a small area, and the fact that I carved out a large part of the mountain where that location is. Both are known to trigger this behavior. Thanks so much for the feedback Night Muppet!!! Welcome aboard!
I'd love to build this! Do you have a blueprint or tutorial / live stream I could follow?
Sadly most of this was built off stream during that community season. There are some of the old vids of showing it off onstream, but not the build.
I do have this base available as a download on my Patreon - it is one of the reasons I created a Patreon because the time to create a tutorial for these massive builds was just not viable.

Wow. Now that’s a horde base. One question from a beginner like me. While constructing this beast how do you manage the hordes before completion
Typically with a secondary horde base. This was on my community server and we take turns hosting hordes at different bases. I built this over a couple weeks and just used other community bases for horde. On a solo game, I would build a more basic horde base as a stand-alone interim. When I build this, I actually used the gatehouse as a temporary crafting setup also.
@@WaywardEko great advice. Thank you. I’ll give this ago but probs take me more than a few weeks lol. If I setup a basic corridor base that should give me plenty of time. Thanks again 😊
can you make a video showing us how you built it
Hello John - unfortunately would be very difficult to condense a 40-ish hr build into a consumable tutorial. What I am looking to do in the next few weeks is to put out a video on my design process - I'm hoping that in combination with my design series videos will give people the tools to build something just like this. Can you let me know any specific elements of Winter's Edge that would be helpful for me to break out in the design series?
This is why I play... although yer timeframes infer a lot of skill on my part.. that no amount of training can improve...
This is a lot of trial and error ... and by error ... I mean taking an auger to rip apart a lot of the work that I already did :)
I wish I could build something like this lol I’m still so bad at building
Just play around! Looks at pictures and steal ruthlessly from all the content creators you can find. My designs are often combinations of the ideas I have seen other people create. Even if you copy someone's design, you will likely start putting your own spin and develop a style over time.
Nice base man - but doesn't your base take damage from your grenades?
Very minimal - grenades do only 10 block damage I believe. Those walls are all steel that can take 10k per block.
what is the block you use for the grenade chute?

WOW! That's amazing! is there a way to download it?
Not yet. If you want to check it out in person you can hop on the server in the next few days before we reset the map. I'm working on way to get my bases downloadable -- going to take me a month to get in place.
@@WaywardEko nice!
For the life of me I can't find those grates you can shoot through. What are they called?
Security gate or grate - just search on security.
Do you ever get zombies coming from different directions? Im playing on nightmare with 64 zombies per person. granted its a private server so theres only been about 8 players max. Im just curious if I could do a smaller version of this to go to for horde night.
We absolutely get zombies coming from the back side of the base. I have shotgun turrets across the back and sides to help manage if they sit there. They mostly all path to the entrances after a bit.
If your base is smaller - you will likely have better luck of them pathing to the front faster.
Apparently you brought the 7 Days engine to its knees with this build. Things are glitching out.
I loved this base but digging out the side of a mountain and loading it with that much electronics apparently didn't totally jive with 7dtd :)
I know it's probably impossible, but can you do a tutorial on how to build this base or something similar? I really like these kind of bases that act like a horde and storage base.
Not on one this large ... have you seen my older one on the Gaping Maw for A19? I'm looking at reworking that one and testing it in A20. When I do that I'll do a full build tutorial.
@@WaywardEko Hi, yes I've seen the Gaping Maw, I think it's my favourite base ,I made it i alpha 19 and now in alpha 20, i just love that it's a horde base and actual base with chests and crafting stations, i also like that with this type of base I'm basically protecting my home,not some random base that I'm gonna use once every 7 days. I am looking forward to the new version.
I'm also planning on using the maw as a temporary base because I'm going to try to build the castle by looking at every frame of the video.
Thank you for your amazing content.
@@WaywardEko Hi, it's me again, I was wondering how tall is the base? Or is it possible to get a size for the main castle? Like 20x30 20 being like length and 30 the width.
i don't understand how you have several wires attached to one relay i could never attach more than one input and one output
You can have up to 10 connections going off a single relay. The major limitation is that you can only ever have a single power source per circuit. I have 2 older videos you can check out that walk through this (Electricity 101 - ruclips.net/video/zU4RMuPVq98/видео.html, Electricity 102 - ruclips.net/video/UV_qP1IALH0/видео.html)
@@WaywardEko Ah thank you, that explains it I was making a power plant type system and it wouldn't let me wire things the way I wanted so i scrapped the project
How's the melee fighting position work now a days? I have tried to copy the design and they just beat on the walls
Maybe I've done something wrong. Could be something to do with the shapes. Having a hard time getting the fence post repair room setup the same.
My dimensions are just a tad bit bigger then this design.
So this was done in A20 and each alpha the AI shifts. I haven't tried this one since then so you might have to play with it.
If you increased size on this one ... that is super risky. This one was already at the limits and regularly got attacked on the backside -- for which I placed a bunch of turrets around the moat.
@@WaywardEkoThank you Eko. As soon as I get some free time to work on it I will post an update on it. I appreciate you replying to my comment on an old video.
How do you attach walls to you towers
In the cardinal direction where you attach the wall, just use a standard cube instead of the circle shape.
I wonder if that base could stand a chance in darkness falls
I have no clue -- haven't given it a go. Will have to at some point!
@@WaywardEko am sure it will survive couple days
how did you fill the pool if no creative? just metal buckets?
Buckets - I have a short that I’m going to release next week.
@@WaywardEko does the water mechanics change based on what water video settings ur using? ive had to set all my graphics settings to very low cos i get tons of lag in cities & makes my game virtually unplayable.. i tried to fill an entire swimming pool in alpha 19 with buckets and it never seemed to get more than 1/4 full
nope. Settings shouldn’t matter. Water is super quirky.
How did you build the pool without creative mode ? Or was it part of some river ?
You can move water with a bucket
I'm going to put out a short today or tomorrow on how I did that. It was just using a bucket, but it is really finicky.
are the powered garage doors cheap to repair? if they have 10000 health can you make an entire base out of garage doors? lol
The powered drawbridges are 10k health. The rolling door is also 10k health but cannot be powered.
@@WaywardEko but could you use them as walls around an entire base?
Those would be really expensive walls -- also less powerful than just plain steel blocks which also have 10k health
@@WaywardEko didnt realise steel had 10,000 i was thinking 5000 or 7500 - i am thinking maybe have a garage door as a dropper though for when there gets too many... one of my problems is when they bunch up and they start doing more damage & piling on top of each other & jumping up to where i am.. they keep glitching up into my block and then pushing me inside blocks where i get stuck... also... talking of that.. i used a sledge turret for the first time horde 63 and for the whole night i was wondering why i could hear it & not see it... i put it under the block i was standing on... 2 high wall i stand on to shoot zombies with a gap they try to jump to get me and mostly they fall down... at the end of horde night i found my sledge on the ground down below but the block i put him on was undamaged... why did this happen?
so its not just me that keeps getting weird visual glitches?
Nope- definitely not just you
15:25 sorry to be pedantic but using an antibiotic when you have honey? lol
Honey is more valuable because it is used to make awesome sauce. We have antibiotics for days.
@@WaywardEko ah really.. i never use consumables in the game apart from food & drinks.. i never made those... i still havent worked out how to do electric stuff and hardly ever use guns.. i spend my whole time using mace & bow... thanks for answering... i need to learn more stuff & branch out on my playstyle
Yeah - for late game you do trader runs where you dump all your valuable sellables and stack bartering buffs. Awesome sauce is +20% to bartering. You can stack with sugar butts, pumpkin pie, and the .44 book for some amazing discounts.
Грандиозное строение.
It was quite the endeavor! Thanks so much.
@@WaywardEko I imagine.
i would get lost building something like this, im a terrible builder
Trust me I did ... there was a lot of augering that happened.
