Building a Base and Fighting a Horde - 7 Days to Die 1.0 (Ep.2)

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

Shoutout to my friends WaywardEko for the fighting position inspiration and CautiousPancake for his guide on how to avoid rage mode! Voids End Horde Base: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYulamiGnMSGsNk How to stop rage mode: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3abhadomJ2CndE

[@virtuaconker85]

you should add the blood splatter mod back on as it works fine with version 1.0 as I have been using it with no problems :)

[@shadowproductions969]

glad to see you learned the simple principles of avoiding rage, it's just distance and time. I really like the horde base. I thought about maybe doing a simple staircase with a flat section in the middle with a hurdle or 2. For that corner at the hatch, you could try putting a hatch horizontal that you can raise to walk over and lower it back down.. I wouldn't imagine zombies being able to stand on that very easily. I think if you expand on that design, cops and birds will be your biggest issues.. but a blade trap on top and heavily reinforcing the fighting position and base could work.

[@shadowproductions969]

also what do you think about using doors set horizontally (so that they stand on the door when it's open) for the last few blocks.. if you get overwhelmed you can just drop them and do repairs

[@AeroSW]

Didn't you use the height-based rage mode avoidance before on that V-shaped stilt base you built when you did that stun repulsor play through. I don't recall the series name immediately.

Whenever I do a Fetch and Clear, I always put a cube down by my vehicle before I start. That way I'm always reminded when I get back to my vehicle and see a cube there, that I've forgotten half the quest :)

This right here is a great idea. Now I just have to remember to put a cube next to my vehicle.

this poi is the reason i sprint into loot rooms and hope on something. there are a few other poi's that do this, but they are few and between so i never remember which ones. except this one, its the only one i know that has a string of them.

[@Shawnbadger916]

The good thing about burnt biome and something I don't see anyone doing, you get coal from every tree and you get TONS of cooking/ crafting time from a fraction of the cost of using wood for the forge/campfire

[@Kevlin0069]

The first time I played 7 days, years ago, I built my first forge and then just didn't use it for a while, because I thought I had to fuel it with coal to make it work. Because, you know, burning wood would never get you the temperatures you need to actually smelt iron.

[@andreas.grundler]

The problem with the ladder is a known bug. The developers are working on it.

[@ThePlainswalker13]

In the meantime, I have noticed that if you press E after jumping up and contacting the ladder, you will start climbing like before.

[@ollydarice]

I'm unsure if it's a bug or if the devs just changed how jumping works? If you hold space bar your character auto jumps in 1.0 so if you're trying to climb the ladder while holding space bar your character just jumps off again and that's why GNS was falling off. In order to climb the ladder you just have to tap spacebar which is annoying because in earlier versions of the game holding spacebar worked fine because the auto jump wasn't a thing.

[@brianh9358]

I have seen ladders do that when somehow they have been rotated backwards, but those were up against the surface of the wood so they weren't backwards. Just odd.

[@jr6366]

Theres been a problem with ladders since forever lol

[@brianh9358]

@@jr6366 I've never had that problem. If it was a ladder I created anyhow.

I gotta say I really love the new outfits too, not just the armor, it's nice seeing Party Girl in something other than black. I hope more zombies get additional outfits too

[@spuffles2104]

yeah the variations was really needed, my 2 hopes with mods are even more variations for both player armor appearance and zombie appearance

[@haspian7980]

I'm personally glad that players don't look like made in a labatory anymore.

[@VergiI_Sparda]

Me too! The assassin's cape is really fun, especially watching Tem run around outside of first person. I found out too, if your FOV is high enough (mine is 74), you can see it while you're doing things like wrenching items. It's probably a bug, but it's a cool little detail if not. My only gripe is that there aren't more variations in faces, but that's not really a bother. I'm okay looking like white Theo Rossi LOL

[@Anesh.10]

I really like your editing man. Cut out the unnecessary and showing the fun part. 👌🏼❤️

[@fengeir]

I was having the same issue with ladders during my game, too. It seems like if you're holding jump when you collide, you just kind of automatically detach from it instead of sticking, like if you jumped to bail off while climbing. Making sure to release space (or whatever you have bound for jump) as you hit the ladder seems to get it to work correctly again.

[@QuaDawg]

I wonder if the parkour means that he is jumping up and hitting the dew collector now. If you are falling, you will not catch.

[@SThomasJN]

I had the exact same issue also. No issues until 1.0

[@Grafenskopa]

This was an issue back in A19 as well. At the end there was a fix for it. Then when A20 came out the ladder problem was gone. It seems to have found its way back again though. Not too sure it's all about the space bar. In A19 I tested all sorts of things. Even releasing space bar didn't let me jump onto the ladder at some times, but other times it went well.

[@bjor0272]

the block upgrade sound in time with the music could just be the best part of your videos haha

[@KinnoTakama]

Hey Tem! Gotta say, loving the longer vids and daily upload of the 1.0 playthrough. Given the time and effort in recording and editing this. I appreciate you for it.

[@nocashtoday]

Major talent in video production. Refreshing to see someone who knows what he is doing instead a string of laziness and stupidity.

[@TimBrazeau]

One thing I often notice is that you'll be looking for leather or clay or whatever, and walk past numerous items that can be picked up and scrapped for that item. For instance those Office chairs in the first room of the Hogzilla Ranch, they can be scrapped for leather. the various houseplants you see in POIs can be scrapped for clay. Sure, if you have a bunch already you can ignore them, but here you want a lot of leather and you're ignoring an easy source. similarly, a lot of chairs can be picked up and scrapped for wood or in some cases iron.

[@18videowatcher41]

Parkour is legitimately one of my favorite perks. I always max it out as soon as possible. It's so useful both in combat to avoid zombies, and it also makes exploring much easier.

[@greenacadian4197]

Tip that I've found works for jumping onto ladders in 1.0: when you jump, don't hold the jump key. it allows you to stick to the ladders. For some reason holding on to the jump key as you land on the ladder makes you 'jump' again which knocks you off. It's definitely a bug.

[@crystalpetrosky6188]

[@KronosG95]

They added a double jump feature that messed with the ladder function. Tap the space bar to jump on the latter. Don't hold it anymore. Also you can no longer grab a latter while falling down one. Just an FYI. I learned the hard way lol

[@wills5686]

Hey, lovin the video's.Always lookin forward to these series :) wanted to let you know: the reason you're falling/unable to jump onto your ladders is that you're holding down your jump button. release it in the air and you will climb

your camera man pulls off some excellent work. sweet cinematic shots.

[@simonfanning4512]

that was really well edited, content is capturing, ill be watching again.

[@LividLegends98]

It's a very interesting horde base design. My worry with it is that you are going to lose a lot of potential XP with it, seeing as how it's really just slowing the night/spawns down, rather than killing the zombies. But if you aren't wholly concerned with XP, this base does slap. Cool stuff, Tem!

[@MegaKrustyman]

You've unlocked the Tier 5 hunting knife...

[@Combsstudio]

I kept hoping he’d upgrade before horde night.

[@mikepeterson9362]

We all love Tem because he's one of the best builders on KZbin, but it's so weird that players throw a bunch of obstacles in the way of zombies because they want to slow them down, but then put stairs all over their bases, I've never understood that. Just use cubes for cryin' out loud, LOL! Zombies have to stop and jump at every level, it takes them forever - and with every hop the animations do mostly the same thing, allowing a skull to settle in under your gunsite, head shot, after head shot after head shot. And yeah, sometimes the zombies take a swing and the blocks take a little damage, but only a little. DON'T USE STAIRS!!! In four alphas I've never had a horde thru D21 go past 23:45 in the Forrest biome on 64 zombies.

The sheer difference between the last "Horde Every Night" populations and that horde was... definitely something. Going from a situation where you had to have layered strategies that you needed to be able to shift between mid-wave depending on what special infected showed up to a slightly more populous group of zombies who are all well-behaved is kinda remarkable in terms of let-down.

[@benjaminmoore3432]

I am having issues with jumping onto ladders too. I have found that I need stamina and can't hold the shift button while attempting to climb.

For the ladders i found holding shift is what is causing you to fall. dont hold shift when you are jumping to the ladders and you wont fall. once your on the ladder you can shift to climb faster.

[@EnlonWhite]

Ever since they buffed Archery its actually useful overall, its good early, its Great mid game, and the compond crossbow is one of the best SILENT weapons late game without using a mod for making it silence. Bow is just not great for Horde night, and late game its more of using the crossbow for a few sneak kills, and distant kills that doesnt cause noise/heat really. More useful for say wasteland due to random spawns. In order for bows to be good early game, you want agility points asap 4-6 and a 2 points into archery, with as much stealth skill as you can at that point. With this setup you can have parkour and really good sneak setup early game.

[@Genetix_23]

For the ladders, make sure you are not holding jump. It wont attach if the jump key is held.

[@joshgell]

Budget Burrows is where me and my friend have our horde base. Dug a hole underneath a pole walkway for the zombies, they fall down and loop back around. We’ve just done day 49 horde, so it’s worked up until now. I think it’s time we find a new place though.

[@W1se0ldg33zer]

I can see them nerfing those Preacher gloves. A 30% buff is radical. That horde base won't work against cops - they'll destroy the blocks unless you're out of sight 100%. Even a small gap will do you in - like those hatches. They'll blow right through those with ease. If you kill too many zombies too soon you can get a ton of cops on the day 14 horde.

[@robertnesbitt4556]

The ladder thing could be circumvented by putting in a hatch at block 2 or 3 high so it open up or down away from the wall. If you put it at the second block up for non parkour, zombies can not jump on it, unless they get a boost from another zombie, and when it isn't out for you to jump on, it acts like a plate.

If you ever need leather then pickup the office chairs and scrap them. This is an ideal strategy for regular lootruns

[@d3wdrop-o9q]

seems like the preacher gloves are especially useful for horde night since you'll be unable to sneak anyways so an outright brawl is more appropriate for the gloves' damage bonus could maybe be something like keeping them in a dresser near your fighting position or as part of your horde night supply chest in the future!

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

That's a great idea I'll have to utilize. I'll add it alongside the Vitamins and Coffee supply that I keep around for blood moons.
