Definitely one of my new favorite blocks in the 1.0 Update! If any of you has a block shape you want me to focus on in a future build, share below :)

[@LEWDBD]

some block in alpha 20.7 so i can replace the pole 4 way shape? :

[@maniacal1870]

Me after the first horde night: Holy shit that idea did not work, I need a new build. KZbin recommended: Here you go.

[@pseudoposse]

The KZbin Algorithm provides :D

[@tigrecito48]

i googled Pole 4 Way... now I have to go to my local priest to confess!

[@pseudoposse]

Next time make sure safe search is on 🤣🙌🙏

[@theguru143]

So, to recap in a way I understand better: Using the 4-way blocks is equivalent to me showing my picture on a dating app. It effectively reduces the numbers by about half, lol. Well explained, built, and edited as usual. Thank you both

[@pseudoposse]

Brutal analogy lol :D You are very welcome guru! Sorry, not sorry to keep you waiting.

[@TimeToRepresent]

You've gained a new subscriber this past week, your research, dedication, editing, and overall videos are next level. More people should definitely be watching you. Thank you!

[@pseudoposse]

That really means a lot to us, thank you for the positive feedback!

[@KillMeOrUDie]

Love seeing new people sub, this channel definitely deserves more attention

[@OuabiGaming]

So nice, thanks. I will definitely try it for my horde base. I was thinking about slowing zombies with diagonal 1/2 blocks, and regulate traffic with an horizontal door. But it looks like diagonal 1/2 blocks + this new 4ways pole could do the trick and remove the annoyance of managing the door. And I'm tired of scaffolding ladder as fighting position. Very good design and editing, as usual.

[@pseudoposse]

The scaffolding ladder was pretty much mandatory since its introduction. I was determined to find another option as I want my bases to look different lol

[@OuabiGaming]

@@pseudoposse I think you found it.I just tested a horde night 7, works great with a knife build. There's only Arlene who is too short, so bodyshot for her. I used half blocks rather than catwalk plates. Even with that I hit the block sometimes. And the best, imo, the robotic sledge works through this block most of the time. Which is huge. It can be placed on your feet with you on the fighting position. Or a few blocks away on the side of the corridor. With a hole on the other side for zombies extraction :)

[@pseudoposse]

@@OuabiGaming That is awesome to hear that the robotic sledge turret can work through the hole! The 1/2 block is definitely nicer for hitting though in my testing, it does open you up for some occasional cop puke that can hit you. Some spit will get blocked but some won't so be careful ;)

[@matthewnie899]

This build can definitely be one of the best in a horde base and I've built one. The problem is that you can't headshot zombie Arlene with melee attacks, but other short zombies can.

[@pseudoposse]

Arlene is a bit tricky, but sill doable. And in later hordes once zombies start to pile on top of each other, they tend to conveniently poke their heads out of the top pole hole making it easy to whack them in the head.

[@adrewbateman1760]

Can I just say how great the music was. Usually ppl have really annoying elevator/bad porn music lol. I was chair dancing watching this 🙌😂. But most importantly thank you so much for going through the build and letting us know the name of the shapes! I love following along and building with vids...this is how I learn about new blocks and eventually tweak things to my playstyle! Please more vids like this! And more music like this! 🥰🥰

Awesome build man, thank you. I love how you incorporate the core design of the base to seamlessly blend into the decorations. Just perfect!

[@SubjektSechzehn]

Great concept!

[@Gamer__Panda]

Really awesome base! It must be noted that the "low tech" option for blocking the zombies crawling through the blocks is not available to be added to the base you built in the video. I felt that would have been important to mention, as you only said "I opted to go with the high tech variant" (duh, can't do the low tech one 😉) Viva la Pole 4 Way

[@pseudoposse]

Kudos to you sir for bringing up this point! You could go with the low tech option with a redesign ;) The hi-tech option required less work for sure which is why I went with it. Putting in the pillars would require tearing down the region around the pole 4way on both sides and reconfiguring. Glad you liked the base!

[@Eldormain9]

Nice find. You've given us builders something to experiment with. Thanks.

[@pseudoposse]

My intentions exactly. Have fun building!

[@blakestyles2062]

Perfect timing. Just popped back in to 7D2D and my day 7 horde base took a beating and I didn't fare much better but this design will do the job wonderfully.

[@tpeel6309]

Loved this base!

[@pseudoposse]

Thanks!!

[@wizardgaming758]

Definitely an interesting build, and I love the new defence block (the base reminds me of steampunk/circus, theme park rides). Also, with regards to the early game iteration, how would you prevent the zombies going into rage mode? Surely they'd beat on the fighting position? I noticed a few of them getting on top of the pathway and going into that digging animation. Would that block also work for bats/clubs? That's my specialty :D

[@pseudoposse]

This will definitely work for bats and clubs :) As for the rage mode. Early game hordes aren't too threatening to topple a base from rage. But if you do want to prevent it, you can build the dropper higher above the ground. I made that early base minimalist but you can easily make the path wall a bit higher to prevent zombies from getting on top. And you can make the path higher to deal with raging zombies. You can initially cut costs on the base if you build higher by making the stairs more narrow and making the fighting platform very simple. And then add on as you go :)

[@its.jakeup]

[@RavynHerself]

Man, I don't know what I did wrong as what I built, at least stair and corridor-wise looks just like in the video, but it just went really bad. I was hyped to find a good base to carry me through the first few horde nights, but I think this is just not it for me. None of the zombies fell, despite them piling up. Moreover, when one would ragdoll after me boinking it, when it was getting back up, it would get pushed by the mob through the hole in the 4 pole arrangement and into the same space as me. It was impossible to keep up with the constant zombie waves (they changed it, didn't they? It used to be easy first night) or with the repairs. They finally broke the barrier after only 1 hour and a half. Spent the rest of the night running in a straight line and knifing them one by one... it was a painfully long 4 in-game hours... I play on adventurer mode, for anyone curious, with sprint during bloodmoon so nothing crazy :/

[@pseudoposse]

Sorry you had difficulties! That's odd that none of the zombies feel through the holes in your horde. During testing, that happened consistently. As for zombies squeezing through, did you use the half length pillar 0.5m shape? That should prevent all squeezing.

[@summits4ataxia]

Love it

[@alexishuon8440]

Hello There, looks great from a new player that just got the game. If I may point out for a new player the advance base, the build may be obvious to veteran but not for us, I have no idea how to build or even setup the electric thingy, so that could be in your next video to make sure everyone is included. I ll definitely give your set up a go, as I got my ass handed to me on the first horde night :)

[@pseudoposse]

Thank you for the feedback and welcome to the game! I'll need to incorporate that in the future :) In meantime, you may find our tips video helpful which does include information on electric traps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bovQgpKsmNBnhs0 Best of luck!

[@Frogmike86]

this is great... now see if you can make a base solely using the pole 4 way block lol

[@pseudoposse]

That would be hilarious lol. I'll have to think about that one :D

[@RoseDragoness]

Do you increase the max enemy count on bloodmoon? my fav block is any triangles put horizontal, force the zombies to slide down. I use spear for max distance from the horde tho, so triangle barrier may not that effective to melee with other weapons. Altho, amazing looking horde base, I clearly need to up my game haha. Maybe I can make a horde base in the shape of a dragon

[@pseudoposse]

The number of zombies is 64, the game's max allowed without mods. You could absolutely make your base in the shape of a dragon! That would look pretty dang cool!

[@Ares38D]

Was looking for base ideas this looks interesting. Would making the stairs an obstacle course to slow there ascent make this better or worse ?

[@pseudoposse]

It depends on what your objective is. Adding an obstacle course on the stairs would slow the rate in which they loop so if you are worried about getting overwhelmed, or your base is made of weak materials and you need to buy some more time, that would work.

[@shaneWARs1]

Could add a steal door to drop them if they pile up and give you time to repair

[@pseudoposse]

Absolutely! You could put a vault door there and drop zombies immediately in front of the pole 4way

[@Bob.Jenkins]

Great video and awesome design. Would it work with two paths? One for Players who want to Melee and the other for those using Ranged Weapons.

[@pseudoposse]

Thanks! It would absolutely work with 2 or more paths. You could make it multiplayer by adding 2 or more paths so each player can cover one :)

[@Bob.Jenkins]

@@pseudoposse Thanks for the quick reply - I'll test it on a LAN Server and see how it goes.

[@pseudoposse]

@@Bob.Jenkins Awesome, good luck!

[@DirektorKatastroff]

Looks very interesting! Two questions tho: how high is the second base? And why not put some bladetraps in the bottom?

[@pseudoposse]

The second base is about 13 blocks high. Definitely no more than 15. Blade traps I would only use if they are within repairable range. They are fragile and if left alone, will go down very quickly. Dart traps plus electric fence posts with some tripwire would hold up better at the bottom of you wanted some more automated kills.

[@DirektorKatastroff]

@@pseudoposse ooh, okay, makes sense. Thank you for your reply!

[@pseudoposse]

@@DirektorKatastroff No problem, good luck :)

[@agentmaine8352]

got it bad at following this video have fallen to death twice due to structure failure an can not get stuff lined up love this base wish i was better at building XD

[@pseudoposse]

Don't worry that comes with practice! When the block preview turns reddish, that means next block will cause a collapse. So be careful 😉

[@markgonzalez107]

Is the idea to have a sperate base for fighting hordes? Or where do all of your workbench and storage go? Underground?

[@pseudoposse]

I generally make my "home" base and horde base separately. But if you wanted to attach this base to your crafting/storage area, you certainly could. Either make the fighting position larger to house your stuff with some additional protection for that in case they break through. Or dig beneath the fighting position for an underground base. Just be cautious about creating a complete path from underground to your fighting position as zombies will then tunnel down and go up.

[@shootymcsnipe3622]

If they fixed the clipping issue, wouldn't that also stop them from falling through the same block pattern you are using as a floor no?

[@pseudoposse]

The difference in my opinion is they can fall through the holes without being squeezed but to get through them while walking/crawling, it is normally too narrow for them.

[@jistsomeguy]

have you seen any difference in the new traps? i noticed the blades are new models and the electric fence is shorter, and performance changes?

[@pseudoposse]

I've started to play around with new traps and you are correct about fence posts being shorter. I haven't noticed any performance improvements.

[@mmgilman]

The main problem I had is that all zombies are not the same height. Taller zombies were easy to hit and no problem. Get some of the shorter female zombies and their head is literally right behind the 4-way pole and difficult to hit. I basically had to crouch and hit their body instead. If the zombies make it through the drop section I think a catwalk block to raise the zombies on their side would fix that height issue and not cause a Cop spit issue.

[@pseudoposse]

I've thought about raising or lowering the other side of the 4 way pole which as you said, would make zombies easy to hit and not have the cop issue. I think it depends on how you construct your path, with some designs, placing a catwalk or like a 3/4 cube might mess up the path design you've chosen. Definitely placing it inside or outside is a viable strategy. Thanks for bringing up a good point!

[@liquidbotanorama3786]

Thank you man.

[@pseudoposse]

You're welcome!

[@idiocide6609]

I tried this on a week 3 horde.. no bueno.. I did not get hit by cop spit.. but I had multiple squeeze throughs.. and they were not falling through the holes with any meaningful frequency.

[@idiocide6609]

also, I found many of the zombies were not tall enough for me to melee on their heads.

[@pseudoposse]

@@idiocide6609 Sorry to hear you had troubles! For the zombies squeezing through, if you don't have access to the fence posts, use the half length pillar 0.5 m shape I mentioned in the video. That will prevent all squeezing. As for difficulty hitting, you have some options. You could catwalk or thicker to raise yourself on your side, or you can conversely sacrifice a single row of the pole 4 way right in front where zombies collect and put in like a cube 1/2 or so to lower zombies to make them easier to hit. Lastly, you could replace, the pole 4 way barricade with scaffolds if that is easier. As for zombies dropping, when there are not many zombies, they do fall a bit less frequently. It is more effective later hordes when you have a large collection in there. Then they drop very frequently as shown in the video. Hope that helps!

[@kojofosho6751]

How would you modify this to accommodate for parties? Like a full party of 8?

[@pseudoposse]

You could do a couple things. First, add additional corridors of the same design so there are multiple to cover. Another thing you could modify is the end of the corridor by making it wider to allow more people to engage the zombies. You could use the same pole blocks along the path. Another idea would be to use a single corridor and then split off multiple paths from it for others to cover.

[@Butterlover900]

do you thinking building this base in the water would cause any pathing problems with zombies ??

[@pseudoposse]

Nope! In fact, it could actually help as water will slow down zombies making them take longer to do the loop. And it also serves as an anti rage mechanic so you could build the path at a lower height in water versus land. Just be sure the stairs extends all the way to the bottom of the water.

[@jax1411]

Can you do a horde base for the Mod Age of Oblivion?

[@pseudoposse]

I can eventually do that! I've done bases for other mods in the past so I'll put that down as something to try.

[@pseudoposse]

[@erasalams61]

Okey but what would u suggest to widen the attack position for 2 people instead of one. So corridor needs to be wider too. I would have to use 4 or 3 cross blocks between me and zombies and for pathwalk right? So there's gonna be 2 big holes in pathwalk. Is it doable or is it gonna change structure completly? For now i think of early stage of the game, i dont need endgame base for now. Cheers :)

[@pseudoposse]

I'd have to test out how effective it is being wider. Zombies might be less likely to fall through. But another option is to create multiple corridors of the same size with the 2 wide pole 4 way. So if you have 2 people, put in 2 corridors that each of you can cover.

[@erasalams61]

Not enough zombies are falling they cluster right behind front crosses (4 poles) and doing mayhem. ​@@pseudoposse

[@erasalams61]

I tried last 4poles on which they stand switched for 2 little 0.025 poles or something and i erased adjacent ramps blocks which u put as walls in corridor i hope they start falling on left and right side. And i hope they gonna jump on those little poles to attack me cuz there are some blocks which zombie ai doeant consider path at all i hope its not that 😅

[@pseudoposse]

@@erasalams61 The pillars should work well as long as they are the centered type. The regular pillar shapes aren't seen as paths for some reason. Good luck!

[@flax6899]

Even though the game difficulty is set to normal, during the second blood moon, when I play with my friends (3 people), an incredible number of zombies and extremely powerful zombies spawn. We face the same issue every time we play. This problem also existed in the previous version, and it continues in version 1.0. I have tried everything, including checking the game codes, to reduce the number of zombies spawning per person, but I still don't know what to do. I would appreciate any help you can provide

[@pseudoposse]

During the second horde, what are your player levels? The difficulty is tied to game stage which is mainly driven by the levels of your party.

[@flax6899]

@@pseudoposse We are at levels 35, 36, and 25, respectively. However, we know and researched these. Still, we reduced the number of zombies spawning per person to 4. They continued to spawn excessively. At the same time, only green zombies are spawning. I am using a level 6 sledgehammer and a strong attack; I hit their heads at least 10 times, but the zombies are not dying.

[@pseudoposse]

@@flax6899 For a second horde (day 14 by default), that is pretty high levels. In your game settings are you using an xp multiplier? If so, you may consider putting that down to 100%(default) which should make the difficulty progression slower. The danger of leveling too fast is while your skills get better, you may not have had the time to properly loot gear reflective of your level whereas the zombies are more difficult. But since you are already at those levels, short of starting over, try to prioritize getting better gear and dedicate a person or two to making a horde base that works well. We've got plenty of options on the channel that you could try out. And if you are still using cobblestone at that gamestage, that is probably another reason life is harder. Beeline to concrete as soon as possible.

[@flax6899]

@@pseudoposse Thank you for your help. Even though our XP multiplier is set to the normal level of the game, I still don't know why our levels increased so quickly.

The Fun Pimps will fix this in 3, 2, 1 ...

[@pseudoposse]

Hope not! I don't really see this as an exploit unlike some other blocks which are clearly more exploitive.

[@GinSoakedBrain]

@@pseudoposse We'll see. Realistically, the cop puke "should" get though an open space. And a spear "should" only be useful though open spaces. TFP are known to over correct zombie AI for people making cheese bases. But, since they are now 1.0, I can see them being done with that stoopid crap. Lastly, it's a game so, have fhun!

[@pseudoposse]

@@GinSoakedBrain If we want to play the realistic game, I would argue puke shouldn't fly that far to begin with 😁 I agree hopefully they are done trying to nerf strategies they see as cheating and just let people play however you want. It is pretty much a game of whack-a-mole...nerfing one strategy might open the door for another.

[@GinSoakedBrain]

@@pseudoposse Agreed 100%. That cop puke, when looking at it, make NO sense. Don't get me started on zombies somehow strapping base killing bombs to themselves either.

Is there a step-by-step tutorial for the late-game design?

[@pseudoposse]

We have a step by step base guide lined up this week, stay tuned!

[@Oktokolo]

The new shape isn't really better than the existing ones. You can always use the L version in the same way with the same zombie glitch-through problem and the same opening size for throwing and melee. The actual advancement is offsetting the floor to better align the player character with the openings for easy use with anything which isn't a spear. Was still an entertaining video to watch though.

[@pseudoposse]

It isn't necessarily better, just another alternative to mix things up :)

[@starfuryms582]

I'm not sure the zombies making it through the gap is a bug. Ever since 1.0 dropped, I've noticed they now seem to be able to crawl through partially destroyed doors now if they pile up just a small amount. Something I've *never* seen them do before. Has me wondering if TFP changed how they interact with those types of openings....

[@pseudoposse]

That is certainly possible. But you'd think they'd be able to do it when not squeezed if it were completely intended. But I think I vaguely recall something a dev mentioned somewhere about changing how zombies move through

[@starfuryms582]

@@pseudoposse it looked like it was more a case of they needed to be on top of another zombie to reach the right height to crawl through the gap (once it was big enough). But when there are 2 or more zombies on the other side of a door, I've found it somewhat consistent. If I knock one down, there's a decent chance the other will walk on top of it, and crawl through the door, rather than bashing on it. Obv this only happens with the *big* hole in the doors, lol.

[@pseudoposse]

@@starfuryms582 That could be the explanation. They do tend to crawl when piled on top of each other so they may need to be in that state in order to get through. But it definitely isn't easy for them as not all crawling zombies cannot pass through with any consistency. At least the half length pillar blocks plug up enough of the hole to prevent it.

You can filter by category on the side. And also you can type in the text filter to look for a block. If you press "s" on a block, it will save it in your favorites so you can easily find blocks you like to use in the future.

[@rafalwasik334]

I’m a new player, how far can this base take me? I keep finding good bases to build but finding out they don’t make it pass day 49

[@pseudoposse]

It really depends. Some bases will scale better than others. As a general rule once you get to lategame, you want at very least concrete with some steel for the important parts. For this particular base design, I did the lategame horde on day 70, insane/nightmare so it should hold up. Another thing to consider in this particular example is the early game base I showed (the smaller of the two bases featured in the video) would probably fail at high gamestages even with concrete as it sets too low to the ground. Falling zombies will accumulate too rapidly and they'll get caught underneath and start beating on the path. So sometimes it is better to make things a bit higher from the beginning so it can eventually handle later hordes. When I play, I am always thinking about future hordes. Either I'll make a temporary horde base that doesn't require a lot of upkeep for the early hordes while I build a more long term design. Or I'll build something that I can later expand upon as I progress. This design will work for all stages of the game but make sure the path is built high enough for the lategame. Make it at least ll blocks from the ground. You could easily build that high for a first horde and keep the design very simplistic (one block wide staircase instead of 3 or more). And as you progress, beef it up. Hope I didn't overload you with too much information. But good luck!

3 of us played on navezgane map. I built an appartment with a garage on the 1st floor. Entering the yard and the garage is through a bridge. I dug a moat around 3 blocks wide and filled it with water. Added poles on the sides of the moat in front of the appartment so all zombies fall into a moat, and climb back using ladders. Horde nights were getting boring shooting them from our defensive towers inside the territory. I would sometimes jump outside for fun into the fray. day 49 and any other is a joke with such a base - just make sure you have enough bullets xD

[@chriswhinery925]

I tried this one and I gotta say I did not like it. I hope it works better for everyone else, but for me, trying to aim melee weapons between these bars is too hard. Half the time I was hitting the blocks instead of the zombies, several zombies are too short to headshot through these bars, and I had so many cops explode that my base was in tatters at the end of the horde night. I did make it through without dying but it was close and it was only the first horde night. Back to the drawing board for me. The actual walkway using these bars worked great, zombies falling a lot, it was really useful. But the part where my fighting platform is I gotta do something else.

Sorry to hear it didn't work for you! When zombies pile on top of each other which they tend to do with this setup, they actually poke their heads through the holes for easy hits. When there is a single zombie or two, it can be a bit tricky to hit some of the shorter ones. You could either replace the poles with scaffold ladder. Or you could try raising/lowering your platform to make hitting single zombies easier. Good luck 😊

ugh. too much effort

[@pseudoposse]

It's a pretty straightforward design. And you could save some effort by building the pole 4 way path from a POI saving you the trouble of building the rest of the structure.

7D2D is only abut effort. You never stop doing anything. You're always needing something. XD

@Devil914 yeah, i forgot you reply to you. After your first reply to me i just gave it a shot. It came out a bit different from your design but works perfectly anyway. I ended up putting 40 hours in over my 3 days off....😑 So thank you sir, ill have to give some of your other builds a try. Never got hardcore into the building aspect but i can see it being fun

[@pseudoposse]

@@Belows682 Good luck! Building is definitely one of the best aspects for me :)
