For a truly OP combo, use electric fences with the sledges. The fences will stop them in their tracks long enough to boop them every time. If you use walls like blinders, you should get predictable results. Also, a good tip for sledge placement is to place them slightly further back, and on a lower 1/2 block. This makes it so they won't tickle the Demo nips, plus they are easier to target forward (the side arcs will be too far away to "see" the zombies and hit them). WIth the right placement of the fences and sledges, it should be much more effective. Heck, you could go crazy and line the shredder with electric fences too for that extra "zing" in your zombie juicer. Maybe even dart traps to finish off any surviving zombies at the bottom (I'm thinking radiated cops, which could make a mess of your escape ladder).

[@matthewlingelbach4761]

11 blocks away, both horizontal and vertical take effect. Calculation seems to work based on both.

[@tomdalsin5175]

You actually didn't need that second power source. As the blade traps break, they stop drawing power and are replaced by the next working blade trap along the circuit. So those unpowered ones are backups to replace the ones that break from wear & tear

Did you notice, that those, which were missed by the robo-sledges, were pushed *passively* nicely right next to the corner pillar (23:20)? I'd guess you could do this entirely w/o the robo-sledges, and move the "shredder tunnel" next to the corner pillar, and they would be falling into it by themselves ..

[@stevdor6146]

i think he said something about wanting "to goopify" using the turrets, because there is a chance after falling that the zombies "stick the landing" and don't go goopy

[@CapObv]

This is an option, depending on how you build it, but one advantage this has is that the sledges will continue to function long after the blades are broken. Plus, this is way more fun to watch :D

I believe 11 blocks vertically also works to prevent destroy everything after the fall. Not for the faint of heart without parkour. 😂

[@zombiephill5228]

It does I’ve built my base to allow for 11 vertical and it works like a charm 😊

[@mechanical_chaos]

Confirmed. I've built vertical and it works beautifully

[@Tabby_Angela]

​@@zombiephill5228does it still work? I've seen people say 11 blocks doesn't work anymore.

[@bannankev]

Works provided you aren’t on the latest experimental. On that the zombies just do weird shit at night. They (TFP) throttle the zombies to help lower end PCs on horde night (heard this from GNS and he heard about it in the DEV streams). ANYWAYS the throttling on horde night for 64 Zombies really makes them behave in strange ways. They will randomly dig in areas, wander away from you, hit random stuff with or without falling. They are just weird on the latest experimental. CONFIRMED I make mine between 12-13 just because I like to be safe but I have had ZERO destroy area mode zombies.

[@Tabby_Angela]

@@bannankev thanks. Still on the first stable so I should be safe.

[@Burevix]

Can you still put the flaming mod into the sledge turrets? Watching flaming zombies fall into the slicing pit would be fun.

[@staticpulse5]

Yes you can. First mod my sammy ever get is burning shaft mod.

[@randomnutcase8926]

mounting the sledges vertically, one above the other, next to a ladder would work better. it would make the direction of flight more predictable, easier to get them in the hole.

[@Vinceras]

Most fun base as ever. If you were to actually build something like this, I would make the zombie ladder also your maintenance access ladder with hatches that open onto the blade traps for easy fixing. I would also reverse the blocks he has blocking access to him after the Sammys so it pushes them away from the stairs leading to him. Good times...and definitely a great screen saver.

[@roquepardal]

slo-mo is epic! please use more often 🙏

[@stevdor6146]

An alternate design, if you don't have/want sledge turrets, is to use powered hatch pathway that lures them over the blender pit, and a tripwire at the end of the pathway triggers the hatches to drop the zombies into the blender(s).

[@silverhexagon8077]

Yeah I went creative and just made a pressure plate for me to stand on. If it gets too crowded I jump and they find out if they blend. Added hay bales so they don't take fall damage and I don't miss out in xp. Maximizing my gains.

[@matthewlingelbach4761]

Blade traps act as structural blocks. You can build with them to create a base that is structurally sound as the blade traps act like a 3x3x1 block.

[@Grovonator]

before even watching the video i am having flash backs to a dual sammy base that seemed great until the demo's showed up and sammy set them all off

[@kiddcannibus]

Exactly. Was hoping to see more cops and demo's here to see how they affected the setup. Might do that on my own.

[@jdsell]

Love Woodle park episodes - perhaps add the "burn everything" mod and add flames to the shredder??

[@je2848]

Cue the soundbite from Russianbadger: "And be sure to tune in next time when I beg the developer to add a woodchipper."

[@markgusto]

Put your character underground, and the zombires will path right down the shaft into the blade traps and make them climb internal ladders that are also in the shredders bladfes

[@zacharysanders8543]

What’s the next series ? Lol I’m patiently waiting hahaha

[@syphon583]

Josh, it's 11 blocks vertically and horizontally. IzPrebuilt has done what he calls "stilt" bases in his last couple A21 series and they work a treat. I've used it in my own playthrough and I never have damage on the pillar that I am standing. In concept, this is great. One change I would make right off the bat is making sure the blade traps aren't daisy chained together. If one part of that chain is destroyed, everything after that is kaput. Setting up some protected relays that are then feeding wires to the blade traps independently would ensure that if one trap goes down, you don't lose all the others down the line.

[@Khenal]

Instead of using a ramp, why not try setting the sledges at the top of a ladder, which you can them bonk off into the shredder?

[@stevdor6146]

that's too simple, JaWoodle loves his pyramid ramps/stairs. but you're right, a slightly elevated ladder would be all you need to funnel them to a punch-turret, and the blender can be right next to the base of the ladder.

[@Allan_Lugia]

You can also use powered garage doors as a dropper. instead of sammy. also that triangle you´ve placed, could be placed reversed, and 1 block closer, so when they get past sammies, they still end down the blender.

[@Allan_Lugia]

also : someone did a doble sammy trap back in 20A, with reguler block, so zombs had to hop, to approach. it was an afk base.

[@mechasmoke]

[@davecisneros5285]

I think he just needed to add a wall next to it to act like blinders.

GNS found out in his last episode. That zombies will stand on blade traps and actually tunnel into walls

[@stevdor6146]

i think only the center axle has a collision hit box, the blades shouldn't allow zombies to stand on them. so the way JaWoodle has them positioned simulates a center pillar with no-collision blades by the walls.

[@atcatorl]

I really enjoy your series and trying out diff play through styles, but I do very much love the JaWoodle Park episodes mixed in. Watching how you theory-craft to come up with new base ideas and refine them is freaking cool. Even when something doesn't work quite the way you hoped or intended, it's an epic master class in 7DTD. Really, really loving the Tier-7 and Park episodes Josh. Cheers m8!

[@wu2300086]

Nice~ I like this zombie blender XD

[@TwistedMe13]

Place a couple of full blocks in the Sledgeturret section so they have to go up and down and up and down to give the turrets more time to reset and bonk the next zed. Combine with electrical fence traps in each down section to slow them down further. I hope the Joke Mod comes up with a soap or oil trap for giving Zed the slip. Or for that matter instead of a automatic spike trap, how about suckerpunch (like the WipeOut gameshow) wall traps?

[@reallybadgamer]

[@michaelknightmustdie]

If you stop the zombies at a wall with a sledge just to the side, it will reliably send them in the direction you want. Add in an additional wall so the sledge only has a 1 block view and you'll get the result you want.

Next evolution would be to remove the sledges and direct the zombie dropper to drop 100% of the zombies into the hole and make a way to climb down and repair the blade traps. As long as cops and demos die before the bottom. Electric fences on the way down?

[@ferreirasky]

Woodle, maybe a double ladder, (1+1 side by side) with those vents behind, and sammy's in the front at the top of the ladder directing the zombos to the pit. Yeah, the ladders could be broken due to zombo accumulation, but it might be worth the try.

[@CapObv]

He could combo this with the ramps. Most will take the ladders as the closest route, but doggos will want ramps to go up. Nice idea!

[@GwenHembrock]

I thought of you when I encountered a new District Zero mod. I didn't think of you straight off when I was watching an intro video by Snowbee, but when he mentioned that you could put a landclaim block in the trader outposts and move in, I thought of you and Jen. ;)

[@tpeel6309]

[@Wanderinpaladin]

11+ blocks works vertically. You just have to account for them landing on each other and ending inside the 11 block radius (I usually go 14 blocks.) The thing is, they still go into destroy everything for 20 seconds, but don't attack blocks if they are outside the 11 block radius. If they are fast enough, (say Nightmare speed) and can race around and get back within the 11 block radius in under 20 seconds they will start beating on the top of your stairs. IzePrebuilt had been tinkering with it for a couple of series now.

[@Rengray2]

Shredded zombies - what a treat! The backboard seems to be that perfect addition for getting the zombies into the right spot. I do wonder if you alternately rotated every other blade trap by one rotation (still keeping them horizontal + upright) whether they would hit more traps as they fall. With all the traps in sync, I think you run the risk in later hordes of having the tougher zombies make it through alive.

[@OSYofRR]

They fixed that isse in A21. I know what you mean they would "skip" traps because the game wouldn't register them hitting for w/e reason. That still might happen on x64 but I ran it on 16 and 32 it it wasn't happening that I could notice and if you go down to bedrock they won't survive and you shouldn't ever lose all the traps because unless a Sammy taps a demo button and he explodes in the chute but that only happens if he like rattles about, if he goes straight down he dies b4 the detonation lol. Might also depend on if you have turrets aswell shooting things, that is what really caused the traps to derp b4, too much going on and the engine couldn't handle it all.

Need to do a 6x6 blender orifice with 4 towers of blade traps inside. That would be wide-enough maw to catch everything the sledge turrets throw at them.

[@stevdor6146]

i was thinking the same thing, you don't need to go 1stack x30 layers deep, but it helps to spread it out , having 4 stacks of 7 blade traps would be a biggerer, betterer blender (and you would need a dedicated generator bank for each stack anyways, since only 6 blades spin at a time)

[@patrickblind998]

[@Cameron0214]

Another good thing about that being a Intel base is that you get exp for those blade trap as they get kills. Also try putting a block in front of the sledgehammer so the zombie has to jump over it. That will make them land right in front of the pit while not sprinting.

[@SpaceGalleria]

allrighty then.,.,.,GREAT Video

[@TheHeftyHiker]

This is probably my favorite afk base yet. Looks like a massive bit of work though

[@JohnA...]

Things like this would be cool to build in the game to deal with the hoards... that is if TFP didn't make everything cool that you could make basically pointless when actually playing the game. Here you go some neat blade traps to chop up zombies, but they are going to break after a few hits. Here are some neat electric wires to use, yeah they are only going to function for about 30 seconds before breaking. Here are some neat fire traps, you can't even build them, and we of course made the fire worthless other than to hurt players. And if that isn't a kick in the balls enough, we aren't going to let you have full credit for the zombie kills if you actually take the time to make and setup something using them.

[@llamaking447]

Its about as much fun as you can have with your pants on 😁I name this base "The Zombie Juicer"

[@MR-ri1qp]

If you angled your wedge the opposite direction it would push them off towards the chute instead of away. Also adding another chute level just above the ground level would funnel more towards the chute. I would also widen the upper "limiting" walls to match the new lower level dimension.

[@pauljarosch371]

Sledge turrets activate the Demos' button I believe.

[@Md936S]

IzPrebuilt made a vertical 11 block talll g base and they didn't go into destroy are immediately. The only thing to account for is that they actually do activate the mode but it doesn't become effective untill they get within the 11 block radius of you. So if they drop they won't attack blocks immediately but if they get close enough before teh destroy area counter gets to zero they might still stop and slap some blocks here and there. Also sorry to burst your bubble but the wedge thing you were using to stop the zombies from reaching you seemed a mot more effective than the turrets. All you had to do is put the hole and chatcher under the wedge barrier and watch them drop down on their own. Yes it's cheese but it's mighty fine cheese. Also pretty sure even without the blades you'd get an afk base cuz they wouldn't be able to attack anything due to the time required to get back up.

[@-dazza555]

Well I didn't know there were fans in this. For that collection thing, I would extend the walls down and forward to collect any stranglers.
