How To Build My FAVOURITE End Game HORDE BASE In 7 Days To Die 2023

[@IzPrebuilt]

I've tested this in alpha 21, it works exactly the same but the dogs are actually affected by the fences now. For those wondering, yes i have access to A21 because I help various other streamers but im not allowed to actually upload alpha 21 content til monday, weird i know but here we are.

Why not use railings for the fighting position instead of plates

Alternating colors on the blocks to help with counting might seem like a small touch, but its super helpful for trying to replicate what I see. Add in some prebuilt humor and it makes an awesome vid. Ty!

Wow....amazing how much effort you put into this video. Good job. Also, it was amazing how well you simplified the instructions to build the base !!!!

[@realmofrandom3696]

you could add an SMG turret to the top at the very back of the base facing towards the front to take out any vultures that show up, its a simple upgrade that gives you one less thing to worry about, of course keep the vulture grates in case the game decides to throw a boatload of vultures at you and the turret runs out of ammo.

[@f0rml3ss]

I started playing like 2 weeks ago and I'm so glad I found your videos. Anytime I've gotten stuck or need to understand something I watch your videos.

[@Rawkit_Surgeon]

Personally, I like making my main base my horde base for role play purposes. Sure, I can make something elaborate and grand but it loses some charm. I want some risk just to make the horde night feel more survival and less like a chore I have to get done.

[@maelstrom2594]

I agree completely, having a separate horde base is unrealistic and immersion breaking IMO

[@Rawkit_Surgeon]

@@maelstrom2594 Yeah....Immersion breaking..... Meanwhile on my Navisgane: An imposing castle complete with a moat and multiple fallback fighting positions and murder holes now stands where a gas station used to be.

If you put the electric fence posts from the ceiling they would get the dogs as well. Awesome base :)

[@Mccaid]

Its pretty easy to set up just the center part for the first horde night and upgrade blocks and add the rest in as you can through out the play through. Thats my favorite part of this base. Not a lot of rebuilding, just adding to what you already have.

[@DevirothS]

2:44 is a perfect cartoon effect and I have no idea how you managed to do it also I think I have been using some of your precious designs for horde bases, they seem to work rather well

[@ChromePyramid]

No clipped into the box and enabled/disabled ghost mode

[@MrBlaktoe]

Pretty cool. You could always add a couple blade traps up front for when they get close. I used the design of your basic horde base for day 35 the other night. However, I did upgrade some important blocks to concrete, added an electric fence across the middle and placed a puncher bot right near the my position. If they got up to my railings they got punched off the base and had to go back around. Worked awesome.

[@andreas.grundler]

Not being completely brain dead might be the most difficult thing for me but I think I can manage it. 😁 I used a similar base when I made an agility build. Except I placed steel bars that the zombies had to break through. I then used the crossbow with explosive bolts. This was very effective but consumed a lot of duct tape.

[@theritchie2173]

I've taken to building my crafting base just a few blocks away from the horde base - actually close enough to jump between them, but far enough that the zombies ignore it (I once accidentally joined them - that didn't end well).

[@stixaw]

Thanks for posting this its always good to know these things lol... especially when you realize you are now at a higher stage of horde night and your existing base is no longer going to cut it.

[@xiayu9451]

i used my day 7 horde base till horde 4 not a good idea when i saw the first demo zombie and didnt headshot it

[@AthrinShadowdance]

I do have to say, my personal favorite base I haven't put into the more recent versions(I made it with my partner on the PS4). It's an old medieval style castle, complete with moat, keep, and walls w/ towers. Fun stuff. We have it implemented as a mid-late/end-game combination base.

[@NannyOggins]

This is brilliantly detailed, I wish you would do a console version demo but maybe it wouldn’t work because of the total lack of auto defence systems in a18 ! I enjoy watching what can be done in the later versions though. I really miss the blade traps and dart traps, had a lot of fun setting those up back when I had a PC. Many thanks Iz.😊

[@SodoMojo22]

Made this as my last base in Alpha 21, worked great on the day 700 horde. Damage areas were similar to what you showed in the vid. Really like the design as a basis...thanks!

Leaving it on the "right to repair" can also leave you with a fun alliteration to remember which side to go! Also, THANKS for this! I was having such a hard time figuring out how to even start. Everything about this helped!

As I am a nerd, I've made examples of how to do thing in games for my friends, just like all the steps you have made; however I understand how difficult and how long this took you to make, and I want to say bloody well done.

[@artemischii]

Just finished building this base on my friend and i's survival world. We tried it on day 147 and there were plenty of demos by the end. It was so fun, the base really holds up. We accidentally triggered one demo but no blocks got destroyed ( we also tried no repair) only the last fence post survived but it was so much better for easier headshots compared to shooting jumping zombies

[@TheNuclearGamerr]

Do you by chance have a material list so we know how much we will need ?

[@LordSos91]

Great video, like the design. I like so redecorate poi’s sometimes base in poi’s but build the tower with the stairs and the pole. Best base I had ever was fates motel stair case, tho the issue I ran into there was the demo blowing a hole into a basement taking the stairs out. (Like you mentioned 2 blocks in the ground to secure) lol not with fates it has a huge basement I didn’t fill

[@skylerjr2648]

I love how barriers and electric fense is really all you need for hordes in general. You can automate things with turrets, but this alone is already overkill. Personally I keep the bulk of my crafting within a chunk or two of my horde base to cut back on resupply/ repair time after. Also to help spread heat out. Big bases are easier for other players to find so I usually make a bunch of small ones hidden all over the place.

[@waltermcgarvin8001]

Have built this base and used it from day 14 on. Cobblestone is doable and works fine for early days. Concrete by day 28 and definitely by 35. Steel on the walkway saved me when an exploder zombie blew up. Did not do more than half the hp of the blocks. I added a Shotgun turret to the roof near the back, saves me having to deal with the vultures nearly as much.

[@stevedixon921]

It is a solid design. I have been using this style of base for nearly all of A20. I also started to build my late stage bases 12+high as zeds will automatically enter destroy mode when they get within 11 blocks of you (Cautious Pancake has a video on this). You can cut corners to save on materials, but it is VERY stable and durable when fully built out. In mine the post wires are at leg height (I hang them from the ceiling) for improved visibility, so it zaps spiders/hunters and spaced 14 blocks apart (to mitigate damage from blasts). Great for sniping, I use it to level automatics using a 4x scope and as long as I focus fire on demos and cops it requires little post horde repairs. For some reason though it seems to cause a lot of spiders to spawn, but I could be wrong (I play at max 16, because my machine is a potato). I also place a pair of blade traps on the roof above my fighting position to handle birds (since two can cover a 3x6 area birds die fast and the traps last the whole night).

[@michealnelsonauthor]

2:20 the mini video of kiting Arlene is Hilarious! Reminds me of being all Ip Man when my ex tried to hit me, lol.

[@joshuasargent991]

If you made the wings one block thicker, you could put a second row of electric fences outside your current row. Then with a switch you could wait for all nine to be destroyed and then turn on your backup set and have a fresh new nine ready.

[@ImezRuez]

if z's hit 2 fences at the same time it throws a lot of errors. It's been an issue since A16-17

[@RandomGamingFTW]

i just did this,and made a full base with crafting area and everything did it with a friend,rly easy,im sure i can do it alone,even on day 49+

[@rremnar]

I'd build it higher, probably 7 or 8 blocks high from the base, and the path inward a bit longer. I am giving it a try in Darkness Falls mod, but I have a long way to go before I even have the materials for cobble stone. I like the design, and it could be expanded to add different traps and stuff.

[@martinlayne5612]

Thanks for this video tutorial. I tried to build this base via reverse engineering and "ah ketch mih arse, so thanks. Using a tower build at the moment, but will try it

[@tobitan_8825]

[@ian-ivey]

@IzPrebuilt, how do you feel about this approach for 1.0? Do you now prefer to use poles rather than blocks for the bridge to cause some of them to drop, or do you still like this method?

[@mr_wilkins]

[@drayton359]

Nice base, seen Spanj build something similar. hopefully you and the Chaos Crew will team up again.

[@JetxPi]

Any suggestions to improve this? maybe add turrets for front end and other traps such as blades and darts maybe?

[@FishyTheKid]

I will probably build this in A21. I had a barebones version of this without the electric fences in my latest A20 playthrough, I wish vanilla was harder so you actually had to upgrade your base instead of just being able to just use the same base over and over.

[@Easyflux]

One thing you "could" do to make repairing the fences even easier/faster is to add another 8 fences right next to each other (either 8 in a line or 4 above and 4 below) into the side/corner room before the wing where you originally would go to repair them. That way you'd just hop on in, have all that need repairing within arms reach, slap em with the repair tool in a single mouse movement, and then right back into action. Only reason I say this is because I can see it being easy to make mistakes with all the noise, flashing lightning and possibly electricuting yourself stressing to do this in a hurry. And distinguishing which one needs repair if you accidentally skip over one.

[@darenvalnys7718]

AskPrebuilt: Hey, i was wondering if you could test this : In alpha 21, how are calculated the explosive bolts/arrows, with the different perks, are they under the explosive or marksman tree ? or does it benefit from both ?

[@thanosmallios8015]

I mean if you shoot next to a zombie and it gets hit by the actual explosion the dmg it will depend on the actual perk for the explosives if you shoot the zombie straight on I get both perks for archery and explosives works together it's just a guess

Good thing I'm going to make another base.

[@danlacroix6943]

Is there a good reason not to add another 3 sets of bars and another row of I beams behind the plate of the barricade? Can just slap 3 more hatches and I feel like it'll double the effectiveness of each node

[@rasmuseriksson8187]

Would this base work well in the darkness falls mod? Also, can you put the electric fence posts 1 block down so it also hits the dogs? Or would it not hit the other zombies like that?

[@IzPrebuilt]

Oh i really wouldn't try this in DF lol. DF is much harder and you generally need a smarter base design with just more MEATY WALLS to keep zombies away from you.

There's room for improvement. If you make the base not solid under, you can let it lay on columns and then use bars as floor, this will let you shoot/molo zombies under you and they won't punch the walls aside.

[@thehunter2754]

What about demo zombies what does it do to defend against them and can turrets/electric fences be added?

[@mattdrifts]

where would you reccomend putting 1-2 turrets?

[@DukeofGames50]

Just in front of the railing the zombies are running towards, that's where I put mine. Pre version 1.0 the shotgun turrets WOULD gradually damage the base on missed shots, but it never became an issue. And now I believe if you have a claim block here (which you should) it should have the "friendly fire invulnerability" sound if it hits your base. Annoying, but useful Also, 1 or two turrets at the VERY back of the base on the roof to clear vulters makes it so you never need to look up

[@ZombieX13]

I add amg turrets shooting towards me from above the stairs so it doesn't set off a demo. Shoots everyone in the back.

The demos blew up the platform leading to the battle walls then it turned into pure chaos after that. I escaped to my backup melee base and managed to make it thru the night. Concrete wasn't enough the platform and surrounding walls NEED to be steel if you're going to try to cut corners like I did.

[@nstorm2415]

Thats why i always build an extra road leading to my base for horde niight and i use an electric vault door to open or close it, and guide the horde. Also, believe in parkour and cardio, with some coffee on the side. I sometimes jump down to make repairs during horde night and get back inside using blocks that can only be reached with parkour.
