EVERY HORDE BASE NEEDS THIS! | 7 Days to Die 1.0

[@JaWoodle]

Never building a base without this again! Edit: Editing Josh you're on thin ice! Missed that little bit that was meant to be cut there

[@1969chgoodwin]

Josh take out the pole where you are throwing rocks in the chute. Then replace it with a chute all the way up to make it idiot proof. You throw a grenade or rock in it and it's guaranteed not to miss

My reaction to the trader rewards has been, "Dude. You could give me every last one of these items, and it would still be an Insult."

[@theovermynd3930]

One thing I will absolutely tell you, from personal experience and from watching other people, Cops have x-ray vision on horde night. Anything that isn't a full cube, they try to shoot through, and its WAY worse with a grenade chute. The first few horde nights won't be that much of a problem, but boy freakin howdy that chute will have have rad cops shooting the floor straight out from under your feet faster than you can say Bonza Mate.

[@michaelknightmustdie]

I thought it was just me having that problem.

[@CoachCam8]

Sounds entertaining AF lol

[@jacobstanton5213]

I understand why the nerfed traders, but at the same time I was in the waste land doing tier 4 and 5 POIs and I was getting crappy loot and my loot level was 214+...

[@Broncoclipping]

Woodle i found a solution to path zombies the way you want to, use a 1cm cube hole which detours zombies from places you don't want, i belive it also stops destroy everything mode as well. Personally haven't tested it a lot but thats what I've gathered so far

[@Llew70]

For pathing up, if you run straight out from your pole to just before the fence, then use normal blocks as stairs. If you do 5 or 6 blocks right then switch back the same distance, 3 or 4 times to get to ground... it would give your molotovs a backdrop and also be able to hit several levels at once. Even pipe bombs would sit fairly well with a backing like that.

[@isaacbenrubi9613]

Woodle is almost 2.5k away from the stun baton series... GET THERE

[@jasenspeed1906]

In the keyboard options, swap the letter E function with the letter T function. That will stop you from accidentally jettisoning yourself from the gyrocopter. Or indeed any of the flying vehicles.

[@jrm0601]

What about switching E and R? 🤔 E to reload, with R being much closer than T to avoid wrist aches from reaching. If I was actually worried about that, I'd probably do that, or use F since that's another common selection button that's in the same range as R.

trader rewards are getting close to pointless in 1.0 I'm guessing nothing is going to change that

[@T.G.Phoenix]

The only reward is increasing the trader stage over time to slowly unlock nicer things to buy in the shop.

[@JaWoodle]

I'm starting to think beyond finishing the T1's for the bike they're garbage yeah

[@tylergee1405]

Maybe there will be a mod made for better rewards. Maybe the a21 reward system.

[@Blitzcreeper239]

@@JaWoodle In the early game tier Is and IIs are nice for the mollies and pipe bombs, and the occasional extra ammo. Tier III onwards is honestly just there to reset the good POIs, or just to get a lot of Zs to shoot at, Tier IVs and Vs should get larger crafting skill magazine packages to match, in my opinion. I think Tier V should definitely go back to giving firearms, they are so much trouble to begin with it's a fair tradeoff

[@magejoshplays]

What would make them good without making it an easy way to cheese the game?

[@jamespearson3216]

If you're upset about those quest rewards, wait till you get to the higher levels. I just did a Teir VI infestation in the wasteland, and they were just as crappy. As was the end POI loot.

I love that Woodle still bad mouths the baton. My buddy's baton build wrecks in our multi-player game. I sometimes think he's better than me at murdering zeds, and I'm a fist build.

[@rexsaint-onge9995]

Just had a thought while watching this... in a zombie apocalypse, even in late stages, I feel there would be a lot more blood curdling screams, etc. How cool would it be, and how creepy would the atmosphere become, with occasional background screams off in the distance. Death wails and such. Not a bunch. Just ambient.

So unless my game is having issues screamers can spawn on horde day. I just had some spawn on day 49 at 2000, then again when horde was done. 2000 to about 0940 fight off hordes. Pretty sure I just logged out before the next one spawned

[@VSodaki]

You should go dire wolf hunting they drop great loot at high rates

[@roymakano6306]

I do think they over nerfed the traders, I do think Alpha 21 was fine for traders when it comes to Question Rewards. Though, is it me or do the Vehicles feel slower? Me and a friend found its faster to have a Mega crush and any run speed increase than a Turbo boosted Minibike

[@SuperNinjaMan55]

The roof of that firehouse is high enough to stop the zombies from going into destroy all mode I have that exact one in my save and used a modded killing corridor and just sit back and watch the zombies fall down and do it all over again lol

[@silentmessiah1]

Upgrade from the bottom up to prevent collapsing again 😂

[@ledce464]

Screamers do still spawn on horde night, I had some spawn as I was finishing up my horde base like 40 minutes before the horde. I like the upside down bowling alley bumper for a zombie path up to the melee position. It's mostly just a half pole with one flat side so I like the way it sits better than the pole and they still path over it.

[@willfultrain6779]

All the work we do for tier 4 quests and up and we get scraps it's honestly disappointing and kinda turns me away from doing the quests aside from getting the bike. I mean yeah it unlocks nicer things in the trader inventory but it's just kinda eh, by time I unlock that good stuff I've already got it if not better.

[@theAkornTree]

I'm looking forward to the 100K subs series. Not because I'm stupid enough to think that stun baton is good (I honestly think most people saying it is are just trying to get a rise out of Josh) but because doing something stupid, knowing it is stupid, can make for some great entertainment. Also, I'd really love to see someone sit down and do the math, to answer the question: if a player is spending the points, wearing the gear, etc, to make stun batons work, is there anything that _isn't_ good with that kind of investment into it? Like are there actually any weapons trees that are still garbage even with that much investment of points, gear, etc?

Enjoy them Joshy boy, you gonna be spending the next dozen series fishing all the batons back up you flushed away.

[@jeremyschultz4731]

shift-click on item puts it on empty slots an doing the same to an occupied slot makes it empty this feature not every one uses. I noted that you do not use it, it can make or brake an hoard fail run that went bad, so by the time of swap vs the inventory drag method is used it causes you to not move sooner so you can get 1-2 hits in weapon wise from the swap time saved alone.

Absolutely not. Each point boosts your trader level so they get better inventory; you can even game it like the old secret stash if you use an INT mod in your helmet, doubling the trader's inventory. I had bought my chem station on day 9.
