Yeah, I like the poles a bit more for the path rather than the thinner round poles. Zombies will start slapping the path a bit regularly with the thin poles as they look ahead and see their brethren blocking up the path. With the regular poles they seem to think they can still slip by to slap you. It still results in them falling off as they try to shove forward (if that is the intent with the round thinner poles).

the one square at the top of the middle pillar. place one iron hatch that faces you, and leave it open. they will leave the block alone, try to hurdle the hatch.. and fall off. the hatch itself should also take no damage. great base design! thank you for your "accidental" genius. all the best.

So Ive gotten back into the game recently and ive found a hoard base that works really well. Its basically a pit with platforms to drop down onto every few blocks. Zombies see this as a way down and dont attack they blocks much. At the bottom, there is a square room that funnels to the area the player stands. It funnels down to a more narrow 3 blocks wide area for easier shooting. Its all in their line of sight and the same level so they dont try to hit anything. What protects the shooters are iron bars with a block missing at head height. Zombies will see you at something they can hit and will NOT attack blocks. Usually they just flop down and you can shoot them as they stand up. If they get close you cam just step backwards and they are forced to hit the bars. There are 2 steel doors on the side that lets you into the zombie area. Theres a door behind you that leads to a long hallway. In the Hall, there is a hatch at waste hight to shoot over and block zombies just in case, and another steel door. At the end is a ladder to the top. Zombies dont try to get in this way. So far I'm at day 62 and ive done more damage to the base by shooting zombies than they have. So far so good

@stevedixon921 Жыл бұрын
My observation is that once the zeds get within 11 blocks of the player (horizontal or vertical) they have a chance to enter destroy area mode. Thus, when they get to the top of the pole in front of the player they may just decide to hit that block. Nothing to do but shoot them to reset them. Being at least 12 off the ground really reduces the amount of damage you have to fix later.

My personal favorite pathing block is the Security Grate centered. You can shoot through it. it's thin and they fall. To prevent shooting pillars I use the metal truss block. I used to use the pyramid foot at the bottom but started using Guns Nerds and Steel's method. The Half Triangle plate can line up with the ramp blocks, plate blocks on the regular blocks and the zombies will walk around to the ramp up and not bash on the side, much.

Suggestion: A robotic sledge for that square portion in the center would send them flying nicely and slow them down even more, potentially making it pretty close to a true AFK base. Having them knocked down might also interrupt that pause to strike that they are doing. I don't recall, but I think the robotic sledge also deals glancing blows? You could add burning mod to it for extra dps though that might run the risk of setting off cops in less than ideal places. I'm sure the base is more than strong enough to handle that happening on the odd occasion. A robotic turret on the roof for the vultures with some spikes would deal with those pretty effectively so you won't have to take your attention off the incoming horde and zooming with a rifle. Rifle would be superb for this base too with how long the entrance is and with Penetrator.

Great content. Much enjoyment here for me. Have you considered using different blocks for the pillars? These two: Cube 5m Dome Middle 06 Door Trim Corner Block These blocks are the same strength as their full sized counterparts, use a full block space and require the same amount of material to construct. BUT they are physically much smaller in size. The zoms seem to be less likely or able to give them a wack, especially if it is an incidental one.🧐

I haven't really tested it on A 21 yet but I found setting a sledge turret with a burning mod on a platform to the side of the bridge and it will knock them off the side of the ramp and the burning effect seems to count to keep them from frenzying. It doesn't hit every zombie and bears don't seem to get knocked off but it does help to thin them out.

I made a base similar to this but I made the path leading to me a 45 degree incline ramp to further slow them and to increase my odds of getting headshots when shooting at them. It ended up working pretty good but I eventually had to raise it up high enough that cop spawns couldn't spit at me until they were on the ramp. Might be something to play around with when horde difficulty starts getting closer to maxed out.

So, There is another way to stop them from hitting the sides... if you use the triangular catwalk floor, for some reason it is not seen as a pathable block by the zombies, so they will ONLY approache your ramps/stairs from head on. You use the catwalk as a sort of armor plating on the left and right sides... it stops them from trying to come at the steps/ramps from the side.

I have that type of stairs at the bottom so they can go up easily and not bunch up but I did have one stop on the side stairs and beat on another stairs. So don't count on that ramp to be stopping some from randomly beating on some blocks because they'll do that. They'll stop short and pick on a block. Won't go for stairs.

I recently designed a very similar horde base which generally works fine. But sometimes the zombies bevave very strangly. They seem to want to destroy the pillar from above by attacking the path block directly above the pillar, although the way is clear. Sometimes they even run past those blocks, then turn around, run back and start attacking them without me interfering with them. And I have blocked my fighting position only with a hatch, so that cleary is the "soft spot" for the zombies. I have observed that behaviour with your base too: 29:19 You too commented on that. My path ist a 2 block wide solid block path, no transitions. Any idea why that is happening?

For that problem area, I don't know why you even need to do that diamond kind of shape there? I'm not fully aware of all the blocks available but is there not some kind of T Pole that could be used instead? this way once the zombies get on the initial pole which seems to have no problems they just have a single line to run down. I get wanting to avoid the look where blocks don't connect but is it worth a possible fatal flaw? once they take out that one block then they will be hitting the block behind and in front and once one of them is gone so is their path which would not take long after the initial block. I love the idea behind this design, just would go with scaffolding ladder floor to look and shoot through and would do bars all across the ceiling just to make it easier to shoot through. But I lean more practical over looks. I'm not one for lots of storage at the hoard base but I usually keep 2 boxes there, one with a bit of supplies like medical, ammo and weapons I only use on hoard night just so I don't have to worry about forgetting them at my standard base, and another box that is left empty for gathering after dealing with the hoard just to dump stuff into.

Holy hell, you do know that the zombies in this game path better than the Appalachian trail, right? You can do the same thing with a winding pathway. There's no need to build sky high bases. Hell, I think my next base build might literally snake back and forth like a coiled snake. The zombie freaks don't even fall off full blocks running at full tilt despite the winding pathway. You can easily get them to the point you want them at, and then to get them to fall where you want them to fall. The pathing is hardly zombie-esk but that's what The Fun Pimps have left us with.

I still have some questions if you don't mind :D So like if you have a steel pillar like that one and 6 blocks of concrete (which they need to destroy to get to you) do they choose destroying 1 steel block or 6 concrete (because they think they actually need to break multiple steel blocks instead of just one) Unless I misunderstand the "If we destroy these 6 steel blocks down here, the entire base will collapse.". So like they have no clue that destroying 1 block brings me down, but they do somewhat think about the integrity >
