Making some overdue upgrades to the base! - 7 Days to Die (Ep.9)

[@twistedexistence3603]

13:59 "Woah! Losing control. Very muddy, around here", as he drives, under water 😁

[@slumpbuster8023]

Really enjoying this series. The random zombie stats keep things interesting and I enjoy the building montages/time lapse. I also feel like the contrasting building materials at the base make it feel authentic. I’d imagine during a zombie apocalypse irl you’d build with all sorts of whatever you can find.

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

Yeah it's been nice to do a little looting, a little building, and a little fighting each day

[@GatorDunnAZ]

It would be nice to have a mod that randomizes the settings. And maybe the trader could have a dialog option to sell info about the forecast? 🤔

[@coreyperez8817]

Just a bit of warning Tem: I set up a shoot down dart trap system for a base, and discovered that it can set up demos. Not guaranteed, but it's a risk. ;)

[@panda93247]

That mo power shack is one of my favorite places to set up a horde base. It works really well for spears as well. All you have to do is fortify the ladder that leads to the roof and you have a perfect vantage point to shoot/stab down on them. You can build a single blade trap with a repair hatch that handles all the dogs. It's already concrete, so it's early-game viable. And I've been able to handle night 42 horde just fine with it with very little block damage.

[@nate-.]

i don’t know if you’re gonna see this but i love the effort you put into your videos they make it a lot more entertaining and interesting i’ve been watching all of your 7 days to die playlists and im loving it love your content 🖤

[@liamkelly8312]

You're 7dtd editing skills are unmatched tem 😮 I loved the conga music when you were fighting dem zombies at the mo shack. Love it ❤

[@riptide6161]

Best editing of all our favorite YT's. You take that which is boring and turn it into... well.. less then boring. Thanks for keeping the pace up.

[@jeffrobagman2834]

I had the Cuban Pete song from The Mask in my head during that conga line. Chik chiky boom! Chik chiky boom! Chik chiky boom!

[@bonedetector]

Nice move on grabbing that satchel through the roof!

[@Marc_von_Hoffrichter]

Such a great series. The fighting conga line montage at the beginning had me in stitches!! Thanks Tem, cheers cobber.

[@twistedexistence3603]

22:55 LOL! That dog, never came back!

[@CrabClownJimmy]

It's so weird to see you at the cobble stage of your base fighting hordes, when I have more memories of your end-game level bases and horde battles. Cool to see the struggle of HEN!

[@twistedexistence3603]

8:18 The only Streamer, to make spears, look good! 😁

[@BrandonHabiger]

I think you need to get rid of the stairs and add more rungs of ladders to allow for easier pathing. I use a 2x5 wall of blocks with 5 sets of ladders on the opposite side of the fighting position and the zombies barely touch the blocks and ladders. You could set up a 2 wide wall that spanned the width of the 2 outer positions, and would have 7 rungs of ladders all the way across. Keep it a block away from the outer walls of the fire station so zombies don't beat through the walls and fire station walls will save you from cop spit.

[@bnemezis]

@2:30 how about connecting pressure plate to electric trap AND dart trap so zombies stay stunned in the spot for longer while getting peppered by the darts?

[@grevedanko]

Awesome series Tem! Keep it up and I will keep on watching it!

[@GamingAfter50]

Horde numbers increasing... I like your plans for the base and the construction so far. Love the montages, too. As if cutting the grass isn't a bad enough chore, here you are doing it underwater! 🤣 Good job not getting eaten by one of those dire wolves. 👍

[@patcaza6166]

yeah man, Im digging that Dolemite soundtrack ✌

[@mitchelkral8190]

Dogs trying to climb the bugges blocks, neat. Theyre not doing any damage or getting up!

[@Lenape_Lady]

‼️TEM! Bob had a Dart Trap!

[@ManBearNoPig]

Great music choice on this! I am so pumped to play solo with multi quest mod.

[@jadeobsession9088]

wonderful Horde night as always!

[@jeffrobagman2834]

Around 13:00 ish, the lattice right where you poled up is climable, so the zeds chasing you just climber up after you. Kinda surprised you didn't get swarmed. They probably had issues transferring to the roof.

[@Gochen86]

With how much of the wall the zombies carved out, I'm a bit worried about potential stability issues. As such, I'd suggest first filling in the holes in the walls and then making them double-thick, You might also want to put some form of ramp/stair access into the oil pit so that animals and crawlers can get out of there without carving away at the base foundations. Other than that, it was kinda crazy seeing the virus have back-to-back days of all-active X-factors. Hopefully not a foreshadowing of things to come, but this _is_ 7Days we're talking about here.

[@TheLugia345]

Great video again i realy like thos building montage thumbs up

[@jplumagui]

This series made me comeback and play again last logged in is around 2020 haha and now I've been playing again with my friends and getting ideas on this hordebase build.

[@foobar1735]

Tem to the zombies in Jen's compound: "I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here WITH ME!!!" >:D

[@TheSkydogsguitar]

Thumbs up on the conga music...

[@element1291]

Hello hello! You can break the wall that is between each entrance ahead of the ladder like that it will help with the flow of zombies annd still leave you with your 3 ways stuff.

[@Wanderinpaladin]

They're hanging onto the ladders in the front you need to switch them out with a block you can shoot through but not the ladders. Maybe Railings

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

Ah you're right, they're glued to the other side of them. Hmm, might be able to exchange the outside ladders with something else and retain the inside ladders

[@Wanderinpaladin]

@@GunsNerdsandSteel Yeah that's why I suggested rails, but you can't melee through them....maybe the circle you originally had? But definitely keep the ladders on the inside.

[@Indyguy5oo]

Liking the series so far, are you planning on building a base or are gonna stay at the firehouse?

[@jplumagui]

Solid series always waiting for the new episodes.

[@DarkPegasus87]

How about tossing a timed charge onto a zombie dog? It will run around and gather with the others before the charge explodes, effectively pulling a "@ll@hu @kb@rk!"

[@codyray6069]

The drop sends them into rage mode. Except at like 13-15 block drop they won't. I go 15 for my base just to be on the safe side and they don't damage anything they just go right back to pathing

[@PatrickPoet]

In this alpha I've surprisingly had to start farming cotton for cloth. It's the only way I could make enough duct tape for items and mods. I was waiting a week at a time to find enough cloth:( Farming works great!

[@KyleSage35]

JaWoodle special: time for a balcony!

[@DjOdyssey1971]

I been using the mod for the mower, you wouldnt believe how crazy fast it gets when you put the turbo mod on LOL.. Of course i had to add the fuel saver and extended tank mod. Plus 3 other mods for gathering. Whipping all over is fun on it. And im using it in Darkness Falls. Gathering potatoes is easy. Khaine should look into it LOL.

[@chrishubbard64]

Honestly, crafting blade traps and such is so expensive and rare drop consumptive I flat out dont, just raiding a few tier 5 poi main loots and praying for a bundle to drop. On the plus side iirc, they drop 10 at a time, so you only need to find one. Or buying from the traders when available.

[@rupertwebb8416]

Mown chicken and grass. Yum.

[@lero5831]

Really enjoying the varying zombie forecast stats! Have you thought about including this mod or feature in future series? I think it would be really immersive with a story playthrough like Darkness Falls and/or war of the walkers

[@wookie69ify]

Due to the amount of changes that the overhauls have its unlikely the Game Options mod would work with DF/WoTW atm. If GNS is interested in this though i may be able to tweak the mod to get it to work with them.

[@Darksage5555]

I love all of you videos man, but it definitely killed me watching you use antibiotics at 5% infection when you had honey lol

[@davecisneros5285]

You just need a crafting "balcony" in the back, same as your storage crates.

[@jaydunbar7538]

Bonus bundle is always 5/6, that’s what the bonus means

[@DatThere_Guy]

Really feel like Tem and Woodle would be a good pair for a duo darkness falls run. They worked together pretty good at zombie beer pong.

[@orecruncher7930]

hey - you need to create the conga line horde base.

[@aragonraphael8133]

am i the only person taht increase perception at lv 5 1st to gain max materials from salvaging at the begining then use sniper cause i like them ? i build every time mostly agility and perception , then strengh because you dont need to rely a lot on mother load or mining operation when you salvage all the things arounds ( for wood & stone juste pick up the palets or firewood stockpiles or rely on quest from traders at lv 1 it is common to see 1500 woods ) Salvaging is cool , you gain max material and you can sell them to buy others things :D i'm a salvager yes !!!

[@Mullerchiropractic]

Is there a general philosphy you use when deciding what parts of the play through to cut when editing a video, or just go by feel ?

[@kaions8928]

Hey Tem what would be your go to system for having a ground level horde base? Im looking for a bit of inspiration in my fortitude run

[@GamingAfter50]

No idea what GNS would do, but I'd surround the base with trenches down to the stone layer, 4 blocks deep, and at least 2 blocks wide, wider if possible, except for the intended approach. This way you can still funnel them to your fighting position and not have them surround you. They won't go in the trench, they'll run around it. You can also use window arches laid flat on top of the trench, zoms don't think they can walk on those so they won't, but you can.

[@kaions8928]

I had a small plan made for a ground base with one fighting position and I reinforced the walls to have 4 layers of concrete whereas the fighting position would be 2-3 layers thick with some shotgun turrets on the roof for vultures and a trench system around the exterior walls to help funnel them towards the fighting position but I will take your information into account and change my design accordingly thanks

[@GamingAfter50]

@@kaions8928 It sounds as if you're doing the same thing with the trenches. Just make sure they're at least 2 blocks wide or they might think they can jump over it. I like the extra layers with more on the "blind" sides. I'm also a fan of bird guns on the roof. 👍I wouldn't change anything except depth and width of the trenches if they're not as deep or wide.

[@GamingAfter50]

Electric Fences, I forgot to mention those. What I like about those is they make the zombies stop hammering on your base and just stand there, giving you some time to kill them without taking too much damage to your base.

[@kaions8928]

Thanks again I will add those too

[@SickocrowAU]

The 5.56 rifles penetrate a single target. You've probably shot the block.

[@CountryMama31909]

I noticed that when you throw down bombs or a molotov, they clip the block on either side of your door. Would it be possible to place upside down wedges there so you can throw more at an angle and not clip the block?

[@dmoney2761]

Did you say in the last video that if you had the bag attachment for the lawn mower, it collects materials as you run them over? Wouldn't that solve your cloth problem???

[@TheSilverJedi]

Hey Tem!! Any chance you could post your Mods folder for download like the Fallout Mod? This is a sweet mix you have going on.

[@robertrobinson3384]

Why not have the 2nd floor for the fighting and build a compact 3rd floor for crafting?

Can u make a pit where they fall down that they can't get out of?

May I suggest Benny hill music for fighting scenes lol

[@Damian125id]

If you're gonna do darts overhead it's better to use tripwires because the darts do damage blocks and could accidentally destroy the pressure plate

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

Huh? Darts dont damage blocks

[@GamingAfter50]

@@GunsNerdsandSteel Correct, they don't. Had a dilly of a time trying to find darts' effective range, ended up using my character as the target (no extended keyboard to make a zombie sit and stay) because the darts simply passed right through the blocks I'd set up without damaging them. Damaged my guy, though. 🙃 I found the effective range to be around 27 blocks.

[@redlars]

Great show Tem, but did you need to say that you were using an Israeli weapon. Suddenly I was thinking of the zombies being some completely other targets :(

Can you turn this entire series into a mod so we can try our hand at it?

it would be smart to spec into demolition for pipe bombs, cleaning infested poi's and cities would be way faster

The zombie forecast is a mod? Or?

He spins wheels set up with whatever you want on them. There are websites you can use for free for that. Then he just modifies his game settings according to the spin of the wheel.

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

The mod is WMM game options, I just spin wheels and set the settings accordingly

[@W1se0ldg33zer]

Your base is too complex and they can't easily path to you so they beat on your blocks. You have blind spots that you can't get in shots at them. A good base has total fire control over every zombie. The simplest bases work the best. Stairs are always much better than ladders.

[@W1se0ldg33zer]

Like for example you'll get a batch of them hogging up the ladder and path spaces and the ones coming in won't have any path to you - so they go for your blocks instead.

[@W1se0ldg33zer]

Then the other thing that happens is when you open a door up the zombies don't have a path to you so they beat on your blocks.
