You survived and it cost you a dozen cobble blocks. That's a win!🎉

[@Thinchap]

I'll take it :D

[@johnme7049]

Chin up Chap, while it was not as clean as it could have been, you survived. If I could offer a suggestion, remove the stairs close to the base and replace them with ladders. Why? Why not. More choices, less materials. If one thing doesn't work try another.. Really the Explody Cops were the only problem you had. All the redundancies worked as planned. So Far, So Good! How does 'The Rock' pee? He Dwaynes his Johnson

[@Thinchap]

That's the best worst joke yet, lol. The stairs closest to the base are definitely the problem, I think. It's just a matter of how, and when, I remove and adjust them :) and yep, I survived! This time 😉

[@rbrendel1302]

Get rid of the staircase in the building. It's the one possible pathing that you have not under your control. If this is gone your base should work like intended 😉

[@Thinchap]

I'm seriously considering it! But I'm also pretty sure they went that way because of where my nearest steps met the base. I'll have a think :)

[@seangranite3781]

This ^

[@usarmysniper682006]

I will though as nicely as I can say it 😂 I told you having the second fighing position was going to be a problem

[@Thinchap]

I still think it's only because that set of steps was connected to the corner of the building, that have them a pathing option to the fighting position. Without that connection, I think they'd ignore it. You already know I'm going to test it to find out 😀

[@usarmysniper682006]

​@Thinchap the AI will always find a way

[@Thinchap]

True, but necessity is the mother of invention and I'll find a way to adapt. As will they, and the dance will continue :D

[@ripstop5082]

Well the zeds did sort out which stairs were viable. Try with conventional stairs. On the ground use 3 sets of stair blocks supported by solid blocks. Use 4 corner stairs, 2 on either side of the first stair block. Build higher with conventional stairs and wedges. I have never had a problem with zeds beating on this stair setup. They slide along the solids until they get to the corner stair block and just step right up. The zeds beating on your top platform block do the same to me. I don't know why but they'll stay there doing that until they get interrupted.

[@Thinchap]

I'm trying to picture exactly what you mean, but I can quite work it out. I'm going to try a variation of what I've already done, and if it still doesn't work, I'll simplify the whole lot :)

[@usarmysniper682006]

That gap in the pole prevents them from stacking without a need for anything above your fighting position, and that's why I sent you the clip of my horde base. The excessive stairs are your problem. There are too many ways for them to separate and go different ways. You want to force the AI to go where you want them without making them rage.

[@Thinchap]

I think I'd rather have the blocks above lol, the gap doesn't suit me 😀

[@claysmagicalland9097]

Might be unpopular but I like the short tree chopping/planting montages. Very satisfying and appropriately brief. It’s silly, I know.

[@Thinchap]

I'm hoping it is reasonably popular, as it can take ages to edit 🤣 I do like to leave as much in as I can, even in a shortened form. I'm genuinely glad someone appreciates it 😀

[@usarmysniper682006]

I think what happens when you are a constructaholic is you take it upon yourself to make a base for an entire clan of people when you play by yourself. 😂😂😂

[@Thinchap]

I can't argue with that! I do like experimenting, though. I just put it on display for everyone to criticise 😉

[@Obadiah31]

I'm thinking the 3 wide window needs to just be 1 hole with full blocks on the side to prevent them seeing you so easy and spitting so much

[@Thinchap]

That would definitely reduce the chances of spit, but I do like having a good field of vision. I'll consider it, though!

[@seangranite3781]

This too ^

[@GeeWillikaz]

Yay another video.. ive been binge watching the Series and had finally caught up to the present

[@Thinchap]

Thanks for watching! There's more where this came from :)

[@BeNiceToday2]

First to the party!! 🎉🎉

[@Thinchap]

You have an advantage :D

[@andyhowe4761]

I like to add a 2nd line of poles directly under the single path up to your fitting window. Same rotation. If one block blows they still have a path to you. They just have a janky bit of jumping to do.

[@Thinchap]

That's a great call, I really like that plan!

[@BeNiceToday2]

39:01 Bob Barker rolls over in his grave. “Come on Down!”

[@Thinchap]

I know I know, but it was Lesley Crowther and Bruce Forsythe in the UK version 😉

[@BeNiceToday2]

@ mind. Blown. Did not even know there was a UK version. We seem to steal all your good ideas for TV shows and reinvent them over here.

[@Thinchap]

@@BeNiceToday2 I'm not sure, but I think the US version might have been first in this case :)

[@BeNiceToday2]

@ Cheers!

[@BeNiceToday2]

I’m glad to see I’m not the only one that spends a portion of his time just organizing boxes. This should be called box organization simulator.

[@Thinchap]

Haha true story!

[@hakbash7588]

It’s a good horde night if you survive. The damage to the base is going to happen no matter what you build. That was entertaining thank you.

[@Thinchap]

True lol, I'll see if I can't find some way to mitigate the damage :)

[@BeNiceToday2]

I’m loving the space design. It makes me really think about how I’m going to do mine once I decide to build one for the first time. I’m also curious how it’s gonna hold up to the demo guys that blow up. Not just the cops, but the guys with the Blinky green and red buttons on them.

[@Thinchap]

I'm pretty good at not triggering the demos, mostly anyway!

[@chirpy8463]

Well played. The pathing issue I mentioned a couple of eps ago, Doors attract zombies. Loving the play through x

[@Thinchap]

Thanks lol! Question. Do doors attract zombies even if there's no viable path beyong them?

[@malanaphy5767]

Yet another great video. Like watching the panic set in haha… sorry not sorry

[@Thinchap]

I'm glad my despair is entertaining 🤣

[@charlieg2839]

Great content as usual, honest dialogue and fun to watch. I’m not a fan of that last pole separated from the ramp. You should definitely replace that with what I found to be very good, it’s under the wedge parts, Pole Side Centered Pyramid. The zombies get close enough to melee and then some fall off. 😊

[@Thinchap]

Thanks so much :) I'll look into it and see what I think 😀

[@ryfisch8763]

That gap is just a momentum killer. if you want to slow the down just put something for them to jump over on the way to you.

[@Thinchap]

The gap is going. It was a failed experiment :)

[@JabsZiderHut]

Great episode dude but really want to see and think you should sack this base off and do your normal base - with all the resources you have used on this spider looking thing you could have had the main structure up and running by now! Empire state is still calling and looking so appealing in the distance when you do your looking around welcome to the episode 😂

[@night4001]

Base did okay if you’re still alive and it was still functioning. On to the next!

[@Thinchap]

It's a fair point well made 😀

[@AndiKoehn]

Maybe it's because zeds prioritize doors over anything. We even used doors as a distraction in our bases to prevent them from going for the actual structure. Damn zambies love them doors. ;b

[@Thinchap]

They do that! There's actually another pathing option that I hadn't considered that was bringing them up to my back up position. All will be revealed :D

[@BlueRose711]

yes, I meant the rails as well :D They are getting stuck because that one doubled block is like a ceiling. If you double the whole front, it should stop that :)

[@Thinchap]

Aha! But if I put the ladders on the outside, doesn't that mean they will start climbing them? Although I suppose that shouldn't matter if I put solid blocks above... thanks for clarifying though!

[@BlueRose711]

@@Thinchap if they're sideways, they can't climb them ;) It's just a way to slow them down a bit, give you time to breathe (like the gap in the pole is giving you) if they have to break through 2 sets of bars, you're supposedly safer lol hope this helps! I use it on my base, but I'm a woos and have a much lower difficulty lol

[@Thinchap]

Ah! I'll give it a try then. I thought i'd been told that they can still climb them if they're sideways, but I may well have been wrong or misunderstood this. Thanks!

[@BlueRose711]

@@Thinchap that's also very possible! You've been playing way more than I have! :D I do know they do NOT climb on mine.. I even lined my POI base with sideways rails on the second block from the ground to slow them down lol it looks pretty neat and did the trick before I moved out of there into my own base

[@BlueRose711]

sorry for the tags btw, this window just auto makes them.. I'll try and find a way to answer without that lol

[@claysmagicalland9097]

Does it look cool? That’s a matter of taste. Is it ridiculous? That’s a matter of fact!

[@claysmagicalland9097]

The patented ‘One Billion Box Sorting System’ LOL

[@Thinchap]

Haha, it's definitely a case of try it and see what happens :)

[@BeNiceToday2]

If you continue to use this base, you have to put up a “mind the gap” sign. Lol.

[@Thinchap]

Or remove the gap!

[@russgaulke1364]

I would try your next horde without the gap and I think they won't rage as much.

[@Thinchap]

I think you're probably right!

[@gyllkrans]

I don't think that gap is doing you any favours. Also, the game is cheating, because those half blocks in the floor is transparent to the cops.

[@BeNiceToday2]

I don’t know if this is even possible, but it might be cool if you had a friend in the game with you and God mode just as a secondary view of what was going on downstairs. Might give you some more editing options.

[@Thinchap]

It is possible, and it would make for great videos. Problem is, it would take twice as long to edit and I'm pushed for time as it is lol

[@BeNiceToday2]

@ understood. Then just keep them coming as is, and we’ll use our imagination for the rest.

[@claysmagicalland9097]

@@BeNiceToday2Agreed that a second perspective would be nice. But it’s gotta be feasible, right?

[@BeNiceToday2]

@ feasible, unfortunately, he just doesn’t have the bandwidth to do it. As much as I would love to volunteer and be that guy, I’m not sure I would be the right person.

[@claysmagicalland9097]

I’ve done some video editing and it sure is time consuming!

[@Stonecoldsidious]

So I think you’ve given too many “paths” without then kinda giving them a path due to the gap on the walk way, too many of them kept falling down there and so I think that then makes that not pathable compared to the ladder at the back

[@Thinchap]

According to previous advice, because the gap uses 2 half blocks rather than an absence of blocks, it still classes as a path. However, I've since come to the conclusion that the gap is more trouble than it's worth and will be going asap!

[@Stonecoldsidious]

@ so once I watched the full video (comment initially was made half way through your horde night) I came to two conclusions 1) you had too many stairs (especially those ones right by the base as when the zombies fell they were then seeing that path as quickest rather than turn round and go back up the stairs on the road 2) you’re correct with the gap size however as I think you noted in video you weren’t getting much xp because you simply weren’t able to kill them. I would get rid of gap (could use door as a trap door if you so wished but has to be iron at minimum and now because of difficulty I’d go steel) Get some quests done quickly to maybe get bucks to buy cement mixer (you might have to go trader to trader) Remove bunch of stairs and just have the ones in the road (so essentially 4 lots) Ptyamid the bottoms stairs that simply each side of the bottom step to help them get up.

[@Thinchap]

@ I've pretty much come to all the same conclusions. I'm undecided about using a door as I've never tried it before so I'll give it some thought. The gap is definitely going :D Re: cement mixer, i'm only 7 books away from being able to craft it, but if I see one at a vendor and have the money I'll snatch it up :)

[@Kingofkings920]

You gotta get your base building skill up. Those steps should've been completely sealed with no way for them to get up. It should only be one way up and out. Youre going to die quick if you dont fix that poor design.

[@Thinchap]

I get what you're saying, but I was experimenting with having a fallback position. It didn't quite work as intended, but primarily because there was an alternate path I hadn't considered. I'm also not used to adapting POIs, traditionally I've always built from scratch :)

[@Thinchap]

I've also been really pushed for time with events that happened earlier in the series ;)

[@JabsZiderHut]

Great episode dude but really want to see and think you should sack this base off and do your normal base - with all the resources you have used on this spider looking structure you could have had your usual main structure up and running by now! Empire state is still calling and looking so appealing in the distance when you do your looking around welcome to the episode 😂

[@Thinchap]

Haha I think that's actually one of the many Dishong Towers littered around the map! There's definitely no way i could have built mine by now, It normally takes at least 70 days and that's on standard difficulty :D
