I'm building a perimeter defense to keep these Screamers OUT! - 7 Days to Die (Ep.30)

I didn't expect the extra-long episode but I loved it! Excellent surprise! Long live Herbert the wall zombie, I hope he enjoys his new home.

The reason it seems like vitamins only last 11 minutes is because you don’t see the second countdown when it’s that high. It is lasting 12 minutes. When you take them it’s goes instantly to 11 minutes but it’s at 11 minutes 59 seconds. Love the 2 day format. Keep up the good work.

Double feature! Most excellent

[@CapObv]

For perimeter fencing, I usually drop them one block down so they get anything trying to pass through, even dogs, chickens and rabbits, not to mention crawlers. I do the same thing by enclosing them, but I also cover them such that I can place a light on top of them to illuminate the grounds at night, so they're still tall enough that zombies path around them.

[@tds06001]

Loved the longer episode! Thanks again for all the great editing you do. You're definitely in a league of your own in that category.

[@coreyperez8817]

The vitamins effect duration stacks up. So if you take 3 of them at once that will cover you for most of the day.

Definitely a pleasant surprise to get a 2-day video in this series. A couple of those screamers were certainly acrobatic. Particularly the one who tried sneaking up when putting in the new garden, I give her an 8/10 for that gymnast-level bridge she pulled in her death. Not using her hands to perform it is a tricky thing to do, but her feet were too close together in the end, which pulled her score down from a 9/10, lol.

Suggestion for the birds: Make a trap out of Electrical garage doors that Are layed on face and triggered by Motion sensors When the Motion sensors see's the birds The doors open the birds fly down and Once the birds are in visual of the turrets They get killed, This keeps them from Flying off and Wastes less ammo on the turrets ( NOTE : This trap also works in darkness falls for Sucubus as well) Has been tested in Vanilla also Its 3 Shotgun turrets Lined up in a cage covered by Electrical Garage doors

[@harleygama7476]

Pit fences definitely help even on headshots only as it slow them down. I thought you used the steal shapes to make your "saw blade" on the outer wall

[@TwistedMe13]

Have you thought of adding a Jackpot (lowest difficulty slot/only positive buffs) to each wheel at a 1/32 (or less) probability? 35:14 Well you can replace that revolver with a tier 5 Desert Vulture and really start using all that 44 ammo burning a hole in your pockets. Also since your now reliably running into installing more radiation remover mods into your guns is a good idea.

[@SenseiRyuuji]

About the Shotgun racks, only the shotguns have them because the shotgun's mod is the only one 100% completed by izayo. The others are still imcomplete, but I think they will have some nice decours as well. The rifle mod has a poster already!

[@darkguild69]

Hey Tem. An idea to protect your walkways for the zombies in case of cop or demo explosions you could put bars in between each line to shield the blast like you did in the pit. Or put those same block trusses you have out front near the stairs in between each line so they take the damage of an explosion and not the lines. Also you get the added benefits of being able to still shoot through them.

[@user-kc9rs8ew4x]

CHICKEN HORDE! I wonder if you could take advantage of the demo/cop height difference? Maybe put an electric fence over the approach bar so it shocks them but not the normals? Anyway, thanks for another fun vid.

[@hapster22]

Yes. I thought exactly the same thing.

[@filruan]

Great series! It is amazing when you compare all the thumb nails with the base on it -the transformation over the time is amazing.

[@wizardgaming758]

Another great couple of episodes. I did notice there are a couple of blocks that are still cobble. One in the pit and one near the switch above the central fighting position.

[@justinbriley2531]

could you do a couple 1x1 holes down into the sides of the pit and run ladders. they would be deeper than the floor, but as demos and cops make the pit deeper it would give them a path out.

[@emrwtf]

Glad you went back to 2 days per episode. That is one of the best things about your channel to me. 1 day episodes are so unfulfilling by comparison. Hope it's a permanent reversion back to that format.

Seeing how well they form a line along your outer wall, this would be a great place for a dart trap (two stacked on top of each other shooting them in the back).

[@avalonjameson]

The wood floor and walls under/around the dew collectors and the crafting area give me anxiety. The sense of doom is strong.

[@JohnnyS5791]

I think I heard the electric fences shocking them on the way down technically breaks their fall and prevents them going into break-everything-mode from falling so far. Possibly cheaper to keep fixing the fences than all the concrete walls and risking losing the ladders and ending up with them all stuck in the pit.

[@Keenok]

I have found that zombies stuck in the wall/floor despawn on logout, Might try it?

[@Reach-fe8yi]

Love the 2 day format 😊

[@Eldormain9]

I'm a huge fan of aesthetics but I tend to use it combined with other knowledge. For instance, apparently, cops can see through any block shy of a full block. So, the angled blocks you have along the Front Line the Cops can see though and will spit at you behind them. We saw that around minute 21 or 22 during your first horde night in this episode. This could be why the electric fence up top has been destroyed. If a Cop gets turned around just outside he could possibly see you thru those thin covers and spit.

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

I'm aware that the base has some shortcomings. But despite increasing the difficulty in every area possible (with the only real concession being the automatic repairs) the base is still holding up just fine.

[@Highwind6001]

Gyrocopter landing pad could go pretty well on south side. Extend the repair catwalk further south over the already existing driveway. Then take off and landing from east west.

[@hammelbreu2059]

The last time I saw them, you dumped the 100 Steel Shapes into the DUMP Chest in EP 27. I know it won´t answer the question where you dumped them afterwards but that all I got 😂 /edit: If you encase the electric fences, you could put spotlights on top to light up your base 😅

[@mikeriley2475]

You used the steel blocks on that bandsaw blade thing around the outside of your base You always parked the bike out front with its high beams (lighting out front) The Pit: Next time what if you layered it, concrete, steel, concrete, steel. Just a single layer in which ever side has the most damage. Using the concrete inbetween the steel layers to absorb some of the damage on the steel. Perimeter fence: "we can just drive through this" I'm suddenly reminded of that one episode of the Simpsons.... Cop spit/cover: Your gonna wanna turn those concrete walls you keep hiding behind on horde night into steel cause that spit is tearing through them

[@esunavox]

Have you considered putting in some bars or something between the poles like the cage in the pit? Maybe even extend the pit bars to the ceiling to give yourself a little more layers for demo explosions and such

[@tricorius9653]

I hope the “wardrobe” system includes weapon load outs, it would be kinda nice to have a 44 equip in a “trader” wardrobe. I forget the 44 all the time too.

[@notazombie...notatall8577]

Cops can see you through some blocks, and the ramp blocks you used in the fist 2 blocks of your fighting positions, is one of the blocks they can see through, so they'll spit at you if you're behind these blocks even if they can't see you.

[@decoygaming4604]

idea! pressure plate for you controlling a fence across the fighting pos's and inside entrances like 10 seconds active for when you need the demos to lock up

32:34 A number of years ago, I was undergoing a medical treatment that required me to take various medications at different dosages at various times of day and so on. The treatment was taking a physical and mental toll so the doctor recommended that I take a multivitamin. I bought an over the counter bottle. I couldn’t for the life of me find the dosage instructions. I read the box and the bottle numerous times, getting more and more frustrated. And then it hit me. The vitamins were called One a Day. In my defense, the treatment really was zapping me. Nonetheless, not my proudest moment. 😂

Tem, this playthrough is proof that this game isn't hard enough for you. Even with everything put in place to challenge you, you still reached level 200 in 30 in game days. That's bonkers within itself.(lvl 200 in 30 days)

[@mitchelkral8190]

It would take some major reconfiguring if you went this route due to your base being the way it is now-> I would put bars and a pole laying on top of the bars for the zombie attack path. In case the pole takes enough damage they can still path on the bars until you can add that replacement pole on their path. (The poles at the vault doors in front of the fighting window) Just a suggestion, love your base work!!

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

Like I did on the Citadel of Steel base (DF series #1)?I've done testing on this before. My conclusion was that a demo blast usually damages the centered bars below AND the pole on top, so it didn't really add a lot.

What about putting blades on the 2 sides of the base so when they run along the wall they take some form of damage on their way to get back up? Hope that helps love your channel

[@janneaalto3956]

I wonder if the cop spit went through the glass due to lag. In Empyrion it's customary to make lag-armor, multiple layers with airspaces between, so if lag causes a projectile to go through the front of a block, it'll enter the airspace and hits the block behind instead of lagging through all armor and hitting something important.

[@DarkSunGameplay]

Maybe, but cop puke has been passing through non-full blocks since A16, and even then I swear I've seen their puke go through cubes before. It could be a lag issue, it could also be a hitbox issue.

[@TripleXclown]

I would Build a Runway on top of the Wall and just use SMG turret on Towers for Screamer defense.

[@Nabsickle]

You could put a barrier between each fighting position do reduce damage from demo explosions

[@MatthiasBuck-yu1dl]

seems like the copspit goes right through the outer layer at the fighting positions because u need to repair the inner block all time

[@ampeg187]

32:24 - is it possible that it does start counting at 12min during animation but since the timer icon is delayed a bit it shows 11min and like hidden 56 seconds in a background
