7 Days to Die - Escape from New York 2 - Episode 16 - Prepped and Ready!

[@BeNiceToday2]

Good morning to you too!

[@scottycameron1745]

I love how you clean up and make things even. Really satisfying. Please add at least an extra layer of blocks around the base of your columns so that even if they do attack it, which some likely will, they won't collapse the whole thing. Especially that most important tall colum.

[@Thinchap]

Will do, great call! And yeah, I can't be having a scruffy base. First, make it functional, then make it appealing :)

[@dorin9185]

Putting plates around poles/columns adds protection without bulk

[@Thinchap]

@dorin9185 great minds think alike 😀

[@BigMamaEmpress]

good episode glad you have made it so far. by the way if you put slanted blocks or different shape above your door ways and fighting position that will keep zombies from piling up and breaking in from above

[@Thinchap]

Good to know, I'll add that asap!

[@Stonecoldsidious]

So for “pyramid” stairs you simply need the corners on the last stair block, that’s stops them from sometimes smashing the sides of the stairs. Base looks alright pretty much same way I often go, one point to mention if someone hasn’t is that you have basically built a column and stairs on rubble. If a cop or demo goes off down there they will take that rubble out with ease and then potentially take that column and stair out….. I also wouldn’t have the gap at the top, one thing you could do is place a door etc, this allow you to open it should they get to stacked or if you need to do repairs 👍🏻

[@Thinchap]

The rubble will get cleared before the horde, time permitting. Great idea about the door!

[@Stonecoldsidious]

@ just be careful clearing it, otherwise you’ll take your own column down

[@chrishulcoop6137]

i love it when a plan comes together hannable smith 😂

[@Thinchap]

I ain't gettin' on no plane sucka!

[@BeNiceToday2]

I typically keep those seeds I get from trees, and plant a forest right near my base.

[@Thinchap]

I like to replant straight away, in this case the new growth is about as near as it can be :)

[@miyahsmommy7172]

You might have to make splints if you break your appendages again. They take longer to heal with a splint, but it'll help in a pinch.

[@Thinchap]

I'll definitely have some in reserve, thanks!

[@leenomedal-lafon5994]

Level 1 physician instantly heals sprains and breaks with a splint.

[@Thinchap]

How did I not know this??

[@ripstop5082]

It will be looking like Escher's 'House of stairs' out there in a little bit. XD The zombies will sort out which ones are viable.

[@Thinchap]

Oh I wish I could make that!

[@ripstop5082]

@@Thinchap You can since the standard stairs has advanced rotation. It would be surreal watching the zeds run around it on horde night.

[@Thinchap]

@@ripstop5082 I'll give it a try sometime 😉

[@RobertLee25]

I was thinking Qburt lol

[@Thinchap]

@@RobertLee25 Showing your age :D

[@nonameplease5745]

Great video as usual!

[@Thinchap]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@chirpy8463]

Steroids help with further aggravating a broken appendage while in a cast or splint. Use can also use a health bar to lower the time it takes them to work. I always stock up on health bars for that reason.

[@Thinchap]

I didn't know that about steroids, and i'll keep an eye out for health bars, thanks!

[@dorin9185]

Doing the buried supplies quest would give a decent amount of clay and a loot crate 2 birds 1 stone and all

[@Thinchap]

@@dorin9185 I'll pop and do it asap :)

[@Alexandr1113]

For bases you want them over 11 blocks to avoid rage mode not under. The further they fall the less likely they go nuts. I usually make mine 13 high

[@Alexandr1113]

I think jawoodle did a video testing it I remember right

[@Stonecoldsidious]

@@Alexandr1113yeah I believe it’s 11

[@Thinchap]

@Alexandr1113 pretty sure I measured mine at 12, should be 13 by the time I clear the rubble from bottom layer 😀

[@BeNiceToday2]

Would love to see you fill in that shallow hole you’re digging up for clay with water and make yourself a little waiting pool. 😂

[@Thinchap]

If I get chance lol

[@Mike-James]

We doing ok, we doing ok, yeah you keep telling ya self that. lol

[@Thinchap]

I have to believe :D

[@usarmysniper682006]

Something Ive noticed you never do is, at the very least making yourself a set of armor. Depending on the full set bonus you go for, it could mean life or death for you 😉

[@usarmysniper682006]

For horde night, I would suggest peachers or raiders. Even a level 1 would be better than a random set.

[@Thinchap]

@@usarmysniper682006 I did on my Navezgane series, but it seems to keep slipping my mind on these permadeath series. I'll get it sorted :)

[@usarmysniper682006]

​@Thinchap I sent you a short clip of my similar challenge horde base

[@Thinchap]

@usarmysniper682006 I need to check my settings for messages! I'll have a look when I get chance :)

[@cassanthemum]

Heyya. I'm watching, just real sick with RSV. Hope you are well. 😊

[@Thinchap]

I'm good, thanks 😊 you take care of yourself!

[@BeNiceToday2]

25:25 i’m curious, as you plug these holes, why you keep walking by the gaping hole leading to the outside right next to you…

[@Thinchap]

I just fill 'em as I see 'em, they'll all get done eventually :)

[@tonsoffun90]

pretty sure you can make an ak

[@Thinchap]

@@tonsoffun90 I may or may not discover this tomorrow 😉

[@tonsoffun90]

@Thinchap 🤣nice

[@hakbash7588]

Those columns that support the stairs seem fragile and far too thin to me. Looks like any heavy zombie will take them out easily. I would beef those pillars up as much as possible. Maybe four blocks square all the way up. But that’s just me they should be fine. Keep up the good work.

[@Thinchap]

@hakbash7588 I'm going to reinforce the pillars with plates all round, should be fine unless a few police explode around them :)
