Building the Ultimate Horde Base in Just 2 Days - 7 Days to Die

EP21 - Massive progress with Tier 5 unlock with Trader Joel, Treasure and Mining Expedition, and Base build to survive the next horde at 285% block damage.
Join Dr. Eko as he explores Alpha 21 and tries to complete the server exit criteria established by his former friend turned nemesis Daemon. This will be a light RP playthrough where I share everything I've learned about Alpha 21 while building 4 horde bases (one in each biome) and dealing with AI block damage increasing by 5% per day.

What's the verdict ... will this hold when it has to face 285% block damage for the next horde?

[@echo-One]

Depends on how many traps you build. The way it is now, not a chance!

[@WaywardEko]

@@echo-One I completely agree!! I'm working on the traps!!!

[@tds06001]

That base montage was amazing to watch. You're definitely the Bob Ross of 7 Days as I felt like I was observing an artist at work.

[@WaywardEko]

Thanks so much for that! I'm editing the next base build in the series today and I'm really excited to share it out!

[@meganroberts9049]

Great video! Love the look of the base. Im guessing those wings are gonna be packed with traps, which will be awesome. I'd love to see a more detailed video on it. I'm hoping it holds and Dr Eko can move safely on, but the block damage is gonna be painful, and keeping on top of repairs could make the difference. Can't wait for the next installment!

[@WaywardEko]

The wings will indeed be packed with surprises and fun! Hopefully pathing is good and we move on to the wasteland!

[@Joutre_]

No matter how many times I watch you build, I love it! Can I get the normal speed version of you building that base? I always learn something, but that's a bit fast for me to breakdown what you've done. :D Great work!

[@WaywardEko]

Totally fair. I'd have to think of how to release a slowed down version. Most of that was sped up between 2000 - 3200% to be able to crunch it down. I will release the final version of this back to Patreon post horde battle - so you will be able to check it out in person. I was considering doing a vid drop on just the base, so let me think on that!

[@M4V3I2iCk]

Every block I put I've to think about 2 minutes what form to use and where it will go. You did it pretty fast!!!

[@WaywardEko]

I will often prototype in the prefab editor so I know what I'm building for a series ... especially in this one where the focus is on the story.

[@gunplummer4117]

Too short, but loved the build it's not overly complicated. It looked like the voids between the blocks and ground matched up but was hard to tell, could be the snow. Great episode!

[@WaywardEko]

Thanks! Trying to get back on schedule so shorter will be the thing for a bit!

[@echo-One]

Love the building montage! Great camera and editing work overall!

[@WaywardEko]

Thank you echo!! Really proud of how this one turned out!

[@leenomedal-lafon5994]

Great work on the editing and cam work. The base looks really creative and effective!

[@WaywardEko]

Thanks so much! Looking forward to tossing a horde at it!!

[@wizardgaming758]

Looks like an interesting base, can't wait to see it in action! I get a lot of vibes from Guns, Nerds and Steel from that design. Great job!

[@WaywardEko]

Thanks! Tem and I often beg, borrow, and steal from each other. My inspiration on this one came from some of the community bases I've seen on my servers.

[@Cragun.]

You know that feeling you get when you're mining steel and you get lead and nitrates too.

[@WaywardEko]

soooo goood!!!

[@Stone19298]

I think its a mix of the music you chose plus the shape of the base but it reminds me of something you would find on a Halo ring lol!

[@WaywardEko]

I totally get that!

[@majorlouis956]

Nice love the build videos

[@WaywardEko]

Thanks so much!!

[@majorlouis956]

hi mate have you ever done a building of horde base in water using it too break rage if possible , if not good you do your magic and show us i would love to have a horde base partially in water , thank you . keep on rocking

[@WaywardEko]

I've done two bases ... one still actually needs to be tested. If you check out Bloodmoon Keep ... it is a castle that bring the zombies inside the horde base w/ a dump mechanic into the water -- kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIK6ZmCbmNlroq8si=OpVjVEvuPYslRE1i&t=698 I also recently build a community server horde base called polar apex that was a total mess ... but it was in water and fun. You can see a picture here --> twitter.com/WaywardEko/status/1721042156658524414/photo/1

[@majorlouis956]

@@WaywardEko thanks I,ll check them out

[@rav3ndawn]

That was a shit ton of mats to build all that!!

[@WaywardEko]

Yes it was!! And still need more for upgrades!

[@adrewbateman1760]

Is there gonna be a tutorial on this base with the blocks used 🙏🙏🙏🙌

[@WaywardEko]

In the plan ... I'm going to be doing a tutorial on this one and the final base for the series, but those won't come out until after I wrap on the series, so will be likely in late April.

[@ZedMagnet]

Jeez, you really need to work on builing your base quicker. It's like watching paint dry. ;-)

[@WaywardEko]

I know RIGHT! Will try to speed it up next time!!
