[@stephensmith9983]

I loved the flash. Forward/ flashback edits. Really adds to the tension.

[@MyouMoorlord]

every time that happened my heart started racing!!!!

[@wallingj68]

Yup, I like them better than the slowed down version of what he just said like he normally does. Great addition Tem!

[@Figworm]

Agree on the flash forwards. Factoring in the base overhaul and game stage. It was a nice addition to his editing. If it was done every video from here on out. The flash forwards would get old really quick though.

[@VioletHeyoka]

Me too! Very cool!

[@cestlavie4062]

I agree. Top tier content and nobody ever does it.

[@foobar1735]

Tem: "no hordes to deal with" Screamer: "bonjour!"

[@alexwattsblog]

This series has never got boring at all - but adding the knucks and beer as a new meta is an epic shift. Felt well earned after the last couple of nights taking a toll! Great series.

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

For me it's getting more fun as time goes on!

[@alangabbard9378]

Dam what a horde wonderful editing and story love your work

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for the support 🫡

[@chrishubbard64]

You are learning a lot with this run. Going forward it looks like all bases must be built from a core of solid blocks, then you can pretty up the outside with whatever neat design you have in mind. So long as the core remains solid blocks the cops penetrative spit wont be an issue. Now you know the door condition is key to keep the zombies focused on your path so keeping it in good condition will be more of a focus. This is great stuff. Until you figured out the door thing I was set to declare poi horde bases a bad idea because of stupid strange pathing bugs that cant be stopped.

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

Definitely, that's the future plan for me. Boring cube template and fancy it up as I go

[@jaydunbar7538]

Should get a mod made to change it, have the cop spit tied to opacity or something so it actually makes sense instead of them spitting at solid walls

[@zackpedersen2666]

Do an Indiana Jones inspired base. Fall pits with spikes, dart traps, spinning blades, etc…

[@dwiss2556]

The Epiphany about the corner problem you had, is why your videos are so enjoyable. Nothing is more boring than flawless power slaughtering all the time without a little bit of drama and or failure in between. Nicely done again

[@PriMate]

6:47 this was a great bit of teasing, good stuff!

[@Made4Slaying]

I dont know if anyones mentioned it but, the "armour" that was placed around the outside was at the perfect height for zombies to "think" they can run along it which probably encouraged them to dig through the wall potentially... Also from observing the steel doors are damaged dont know if the zombies see the holes in them as potential hazards aswell (oops it was the doors haha!)

[@Lenape_Lady]

I love those flash forward edits! Now I want a Psychic Series! Where you are haunted throughout the day with visions of the dangerous situations to come!!!! It would be fun for us to try and pinpoint the exact reference when the situations do eventually happen. “Holy shit so THAT is what that vision was about!!”

[@Nymphetimine84]

That has to be one of my favorite episodes! Every once in a while, Tem has something happen drastically, yet he turns it into solid gold footage! However when he realized when he was out of materials and started freaking out a bit, that alongside the little screen snips leading to the horde..... Hands down some of the best story telling from a creator I have seen. I am literally debating on buying a projector and dedicating a room setup like a theater, just so I can watch these Videos! Love the Editing! Cheers GNS!

[@666stonewall]

The cut to the on foot hoard night was a great addition XD Finally figured out the problem, man, I NEVER would have guessed that XD

[@quincyhodson1831]

Dude, your cinematic shots and delivery are getting absolutely amazing! Keep up the great storytelling!!

[@Verinagie]

Awesome series :) You can put a line of hatches or doors facing down instead of the catwalk. You can have catwalk if you need when they are opened and get rid of it by closing them if things go not very good.

[@Branwhin]

OOF! That was terrifying. That would pretty much be it for me - mind you i don't play at these settings, lol.

[@mojolene_]

👏 clap your hands, while tem is healing his aggression 😄🥰

[@jessed6838]

Bro, I love the edits! "Let's just hope nothing bad happens under the stairs..." *Cuts to half a second of something bad happening soon* lmao. Ty for that.

[@RG-gn8pe]

The new editing style with flash forwards are WONDERFUL.

[@crazydutchy4243]

you seriously have THE. BEST. editing skills ever!

[@SteveK6470]

One of your best series! The little quick snippets of the on foot horde night was chef's kiss moments. I love knuckles with Vol. book that eliminates the buzz affect for a clear screen. Max knuckle points and all volumes and that melee weapon is so much fun. I'm also a big fan of the Robotic Turrets as helpers during horde nights and very congested POIs. Drum mag mod and other mods on Robotic Turret and load with ammo, place it down for extra fire power assistance. KEY POINT LEARNED = make sure Steel Doors are max or close to close max health always to make sure their pathing is straight to your melee fighting position along the thin steel cables. You could also put Dew Collectors where the Farm was and move Farm Plots just little away from base since you really only need Corn and Potatoes for the good Stews and harvest once in awhile. Keep up the amazing work!

[@shad885]

"Get off my lawn" LMAO great reference, great movie.

[@taulie75]

I almost never comment on vids but I feel compelled to today; this was an S tier episode Highly entertained the entire time. Love the change of fighting style this far into the series IMO, the quick flash-forward is a much better storytelling & foreshadowing technique than than the slo-mo replay. Door issue was great to watch Tem figure out. Diresville late-game horde on foot. Still not really grasping how lifesaving vitamins are. This ep was perfection

[@Zyggy140]

The total killer of that base on the first horde night was the vault door health, when they have holes on in zombies dont like to path over :P Fun police changed it when they made changes on hitting through doors and so. I guess its been funny to make that horde on foot. Keep going ^^

[@lironcohen3223]

happened to me i have to swap doors cuz i end up shooting them alil bit xd

[@amak8935]

Now I know why the zombies are not pathing right where I want them to do. The door I have is not fixed so they use the other place to attack. 😅😅 thanks man. I’m gonna fix it and see. 😎👍🏼🫡

[@amak8935]

Just reached the part of the video where he fixed the doors and the pathing corrected 😎👍🏼

[@Hellkites-Domain]

That first Horde had me on the edge of my seat. The first flash forward caught me way off guard... made me jump lol. Awesome Episode.

[@coreyperez8817]

Flash forward is awesome Tem!. The Double Plate trench should be on the side walls. Stick with one light on each side, and use the space where one of the lights are now to make your double plate trench.

[@notazombie...notatall8577]

This is chaos 😂 The whole series is chaos, and it's amazing

[@StarAxion]

Best 7DtD playthrough ever. Period.

[@MrMeatloafsndwch]

I wonder if the zombies not pathing on damaged doors started when you could hit zombies through doors. I dont remember this last alpha. Also an idea to make the zombies stop going through the wall, maybe the steps and alleys to the fighting position arent connected to the base. just leave a block gap from floor to roof right next to the step on either side.

[@Imae08I]

Yeah, it seems like it

[@ancalagonyt]

You had all those polymers from the wrenching run a few days ago. Wrenching cars with skill points is a very good source of polymers. I think the zombies were trying to build a staircase within the wall to avoid as much steel as possible when they tried to dig through the corner. So it might be a good idea to upgrade some other blocks above that corner to steel. Since you figured out the problem was door repair, it's not urgent, but no reason to give them an easy path to you, and you're cooking a lot of steel.

[@kyllbs1]

First, that foreshadowing was killer. Great work. Second, it really sucks that Fighting space has to become a cube. It looked so nice with the angles. If this base ever gets built again moving the forges off that wall would probably fix the issue.

[@Nexadon]

I LOVED the editing on this one, bro! The flashes of you getting mauled every time you said something hopeful about the future really made me wonder if this was the last episode! Also, you CAN'T beat yourself up about the door thing cause I have sat and tried and tried to figure out why they kept going over there too and it never even occurred to me either that the condition of the doors would matter that much. I figured, like you did, that it HAD to be the catwalks causing it. Keep up the great work and stop brow-beating yourself about things that there's no way you could have known without being told it or experiencing it first hand!

[@razerfangegaming8548]

The additional 'forward/flashback' edits were *Chef's Kiss*. I really love the added detail. I can only imagine what it takes to edit the videos. You just keep getting better brother! Please do keep up the good work! Running horde on foot is pro-gamer. Love the series! 😁🤩

[@feldamar2]

Switching to solid blocks and keeping that door in repair is making SUCH a difference! Also...I think that brawling made a HUGE difference for those Demomen. No more spear overpen hitting a dude you couldn't see. Granted this was an easier Dice roll today...but still!

[@MrNajsman]

Very nice find with the vault doors, I had no idea about that pathing!

[@nataliekramer9092]

Omg that was insane. Just wow. Incredible episode

[@ampeg187]

Man i think this is the most BADASS base you have ever done. Make sure that you write down all basebuilding hard lesson learned stuff so you avoid doing same mistakes in the next series

[@Official_Dominatus]

The height of those thinner wall plates you put down was flush with the top of the stairs. That may of appeared as a path that was close to the catwalks. Removing those outside catwalks also worked so that's all that matters lol

[@rafaelantoniomartinez4371]

"It went down a whole mountain, and then it went up into the sky." That's what this episode was.

[@paybackntf4017]

The weird feeling where you want to jump into the horde to help Tem

[@aaronthompson9210]

Great episode, absolutely crazy. I think you should detach the wall from the staircase.

[@flamingavocado2876]

The foreshadowing clips of horde night made this episode so much more thrilling and ominous! I’m not sure if you edit these yourself or have an editor, but either way, I am always so impressed with the editing each episode.

[@mc_abber]

best episode of the series imo

[@pamlange7289]

What a hard lesson learned... But you saved with your ordeal your viewers the very same experience. Never thought this would be such a problem! For science!😅

[@zeebark6033]

You are the drunken Master! Excellent editing as always.

[@DarkPegasus87]

Wow! That first horde night would make Glock9 proud!

[@codybeckett5294]

Funky music during wandering horde was cool

[@Tabby_Angela]

Trying to catch up due to life issues. I wonder if the reason the zombies were trying to go through the wall to get to the catwalk in your 1st horde is because of the iron door there? Can't wait to catch up! Ah you figured it out! Never would have thought that was the problem!

[@summits4ataxia]

It might be the shutters behind spotlights directing their pathing to tear through the wall. Just a thought.

[@RadioFlyer1221]

I love being a brawler and im so excited that you finally used it an like it!

[@paybackntf4017]

Maybe put the spot lights above the fighting space? That way you get illumination and freeing up extra cladding space

[@iamwaynecodd]

Very close call, man. Ggs!

[@worshiprick]

Commenting for your stats: yes! The fact that you have now realized that mobs can “see” through all blocks except pure cube shapes is a problem. Minecraft solved it (kinda) by adding a property to every block that determines its transparency. It’s not perfect, and has potential to easily cause massive lag (just by adding memory footprint and computational complexity to each voxel), but it is worth investigating.

[@cyanurecyanures130]

Yea cool vids, I love the series!

[@rnick3665]

16:26 to 17:10 looks like a game trailer. Open it with a close-up of a guy staring at a picture of his wife or his child or the last pint of Häagen-Dazs on earth. In the background the radio is reporting on the zombie apocalypse. Follow that with a montage of weapons being loaded and strapped on and and a cold voice saying "not on my watch" Then edit in 14:38 to 14:47 then the 16 to 17.

[@adamwynn8920]

Best episode yet!

[@GameHopping]

7 Days between hordes will feel relaxing for you at this point.

[@serenerebel1983]

I've found the zeds get a bit weird when the door used for pathing is damaged even a little bit, once you have a hole in the door it's a no-go for em

[@andrewr9761]

This episode was a roller coaster, i loved it!

[@RussErickson_v1]

I commented to my wife on this ambitious series that as game stage increases difficulty that there will not be enough time to repair, get ammo, mine, gather resources, explore, visit traders, cook food, get water, craft required materials.

[@tausenti]

that was insane, cant believe you made it even

[@fishdrowner01]

Your editing is getting so good!

[@paulh8220]

Firstly this maybe an upgrade for your fighting positions; replace the lower block with the Arrow Slot block, you can still shoot the crawlers, but they shouldn’t crawl through, and Secondly build a second wall, two blocks off from the base on the sides which you are going to use the blade traps on, so you can set twice the number of blade traps to cut down the Zombies.

[@ruychavez6242]

18:19 Time to daaaaaance!

[@mechanical_chaos]

Fun Pimps need to use your footage of fighting that horde on foot in their advertisements. Never seen anything so epic.

[@RryhhbfrHhgdHhgd356]

Brawling is just so much fun in this game, I cannot resist it. Nothing beats the feeing of punching a zombie right in the face! 😂

[@saskiawillems9435]

As always, love your editing ❤

[@MyouMoorlord]

My heart is racing with that Flash forward edits! I'm not even playing why am I panicking?!

[@j-p4194]

great episode! Finally turning a corner with everything. Try rockin' the m60 + m249 if you have excess 5.56 rounds

[@davidgillon2762]

If the zombies won't follow your pathing, there's something in it they think is more work than the alternative. Difficult to troubleshoot in the middle of a horde, but how often do you see people just say 'zombie pathing is weird!' and give up. It had to be something that has changed, the way they were going was now more work than before, as steel, so it had to be the intended path, and the only changes there were the state of the damage, and the improved fighting position, which wasn't more work to get through.

[@stevedixon921]

Knocking off the last catwalk block might help as it would put an empty block on the path 9as it was it make a connecting corner). Removing it entirely is the safer option.

[@DarthRektar]

That horde was awesome! It would be cool to see you do a playthrough as a nomad and see what sort of system you could figure out to deal with the zombies without a base present

[@MrTboltjes]

Nice job on figuring out the doors were the issue! Knuckles are so much better than spears, can't wait til you get the healing book for the knuckles. I would go back to 5x3 garage doors tho, those smaller ones look awkward.

[@IceBlueDragon58]

Your lack of resources is the result of not having enough time between hordes to gather said resources. “Blood Moon Hordes every night” is the resource-drain. I’d rather have at least 3-4 days between hordes to allow at least a couple of days breathing room. Don’t get me wrong, this play-through is exciting and tense, but having a bit more breathing room between hordes would be a bit more fun for me, personally. I like seeing you run through POI’s and looting new weapon/armour upgrades more than fighting hordes. Also, seeing that the damaged vault doors were the zombie pathing problem makes sense now that you can “shoot/hit through the hole in the door when damaged” in this version of the game when they are vertical as a proper door, so no wonder that the zombies see the damaged door as an obstacle when laid horizontal.

[@MrNeatSoup]

Banger of a thumbnail Tem

[@VergiI_Sparda]

Haven't yet finished the episode but if you haven't done it, I would just concede and put those plate 2 filler blocks back to stop them from carving the walls, because I don't think they'll stop as long as they're full cubes or any block they think they can walk on. If anything, put two full cubes on either side of them; yeah it's ugly but at this point in the series if you don't end up dying this episode's second night or beyond function over form is basically required!

[@neoverse]

I've had zombies not want to cross doors like that, damaged or not. Only fix was to close and reopen them or just don't open them til after HN starts.

[@keayedplaysgamez843]

Sounds like my own horde night last time. I ran out of gas in my jeep and was outside of a Crack a Book HQ PoI… Lost my jeep and most of my sanity. It was a very gnarly night haha. But I didn’t die although I think I got to 3 HP at one point lmao.

[@sorrowsoul8979]

you can carv 2 block's at the ramp down & replace them with fasad peaces to detur the zombie's even more

[@Tazim2911]

I like baton + turret style. But from my personal experience, once you go knucks there is no going back

[@patrickblind998]

Maybe that garden is now the first phase of GNS Brand Beer and Moonshine!

[@Bootstrap_Bilbo]

Love the series with little to no modding

[@perky42069]

I would say now that we can shoot thru holes in doors, the zeds can see that hole and won't try to walk over it

[@addybugz5447]

I'm not in a horde base with you. Your in a horde base with me!

[@StevenMcnutt]

Nice way to renovate Diersville.

[@magnus33john]

Catwalks would have been fine if there was a break similar to how you redirect the zombies with the doors. Having a door or jail door at the end point that you can put down when horde night is happening would stop them from seeing it as a path

[@Andermani]

Suggestion: make a bug-out "bag" in the form of a crate with a specific set of supplies, in case of needing to bug out again.

[@jfisher5151]

It has been so fun to watch you struggle with the base not working well and being low on resources to figuring out your problem and solving it. That's so awesome. Wrt the base design id personally like it if the garage area was as tall as the rest of the base with those glass domes on each side. Maybe you could figure out a way to fly the gyro into the level above the garage. One other thing I wanted to tell you was that I feel bad about all the loot bags you lose our on after every horde because they disappear so fast. You're putting in the work you should get the bags. So id be totally fine if you installed a mod to change the timer on the bags. Can't wait to see the blade traps installed again. Putting them in the path where the zombies run was genius. Ohh! One last thing. I think that zombies havent been able to path over broken doors since TFP made them permable so we can finally shoot through then when theyre damaged

[@garyb9167]

Make quick trader rounds and nuy all the resources you can to give you a headstart while production rolls on.

[@foobar1735]

yeah if the doors are damaged they won't walk on them, can absolutely confirm.

[@jeaniebee3657]

i know scaffolding bars are not nice looking but maybe think about putting some on the windows and walls between you and your forges and stuff so the cop puke doesn't hit them, just a suggestion.

[@Vex-Milk]

All those buffs/debuffs on the side of Tem's screen at the end of the hoard. Lol

[@BaneV666]

never seen so many zombies...is a literal horde

[@Highwind6001]

Man I've got a lotta hours in this game and I've never seen the left side of the screen get THAT TALL before LOL. I think you had every status effect that exists in the game haha!

[@Petrus74-yj4kv]

No steel, no concrete, no backup plan... With fighting position's faulty design being obvious for quite a while... But no worries, so what if the base is made of plywood - as long as it looks cool and pretty, all's good. 😄 It frustrates the heck out of me but I will keep watching, 'cause your videos are so entertaining. And the editing is awesome. Keep up with your great work, Mr. Temreki.

[@Haplo699g]

I'm ten minutes in, the sense of foreboding is growing, dunno why... LOL

[@CanisBlume]

For the garden and dew collectors do you have to take out the skylights cause if cop spit can get through and crops can grow I’m thinking the dew collectors wouldn’t have any issues. Love your videos and excited to see the new base upgrades

[@josesaldanha2683]

For the horde base to work, move the fighting position to outside

[@josesaldanha2683]

Or don't, I mean, i'm having fun, keep strugling.

[@slab-dd6vj]

Nice Video, you could make the bew catwalk out of doors so if that situation happens again you can close them and cut that pathway.

[@OuabiGaming]

Hohoho, nice foot horde. I want an extended edition 😆. You could make a really cool thing on the farming area with horizontal garage doors and sensors to land the gyrocopter. Just need to figure out how to make a takeoff runway.

[@gillgamesh007]

How about a roll up door in front of the forges? That will save the asthetic. Would the phasing cop spit penitrate glass and a door?

[@Damian125id]

Fortitude build is fun isn't it? I think there's a perk book or i guess you unlock it by perk points, but basically if you hit a zombie in the head you'll reduce the chances of them infecting you. Saves you some antibiotic.
