I didn't think of using a switch to conserve power, I'll definitely use that

What else do you use them for?

Meanwhile, just 1 centipede tank just drives over the traps. And they appear in most raids when you progress

[@KokoplaysMB]

Steel traps do 100 damage. 10 traps is usually enough to kill one. And if it makes it into the box use EMP and you're good.

[@rickysmyth]

@@KokoplaysMB the amount of resources to do that is huge. It's the equivalent of building so much barbed wire that it stops a tank after it gets tangled up. There are more efficient ways to take out the mechanoid tanks

[@KokoplaysMB]

@@rickysmyth use EMPs then and just kill em?

[@rickysmyth]

@@KokoplaysMB Do you prefer EMP or HEAT?

[@GooserMan]

Meanwhile **2** centipedes appear

Some advice about turrets: for anyone new to the game, the regular turrets are more of a support role then decent defense. They’re there to soak up damage for your colonists, so they’re good as a front line emplacement or in the case of killboxes, the first thing the enemies can attack Turrets like the auto cannon and uranium slug turrets are much better, but they’re likely to kill your colonists if you don’t place them correctly. These are back line turrets, so try not to have your colonists in between these turrets and the enemy. Modded turrets can get kinda surprising, but they can be quite good. Sniper turrets alongside uranium slug turrets can be quite devastating, for example. Then you have glittertech and some other mods that add humongous turrets that can mulch through enemies like nothing. If you want a base that does the fighting for you, mods are the way to go

[@TheMartianMancumpster]

My first base is chilling In a save folder purgatory because 20 centipedes are camped outside my base and nothing can stop them

[@volodymyr_budii]

If you can't kill them but you still want to play that save, try to Uninstall all furniture/production tables, grab everything valuable you can with your pawns and leave the map, so this centered can destroy something and go away after.

[@christolley6805]

If you have a few insanity lances laying around...

[@Righteous_Hate]

You can kill them using the debug menu or how its called

Once i left a nest in a cave for like 100 days and it spawned like 20 more😅😅. Had to burn them all with the superheated air.

[@ascspeedywalker4778]

If you use a chunk at the end of the tunnel It can force enemies into the kill room so they don't have cover. But it must be at a 90° angle from the killroom

[@Dedelblute3]

Meanwhile my colonists on their way through the traps: Nah let’s not pathfind around them

[@lootgoblin8705]

I can’t be the only one who doesn’t like killboxes right? It’s just not interesting.

[@huhtorro]

played through so many colonies, never used them once. it makes raids less exciting and dangerous imo

[@isnel1021]

I'm with you

[@liamjp99]

I’ve started to get a bit bored of them, there are some fun ideas like using an autobong to make them all slow or using fire or animals in clever ways, but these days I just kinda let ‘em show up and see what happens haha

[@dpetersz]

I don't like cheesing the game. I just make a firing line behind cover and call it a day. If I'm playing medieval I just make a wall and use normal siege defense tactics.

[@KiotheCloud]

Thats great until you get a 300 tribal breach raid cause u decided to make ur base pretty at that point killbox or trap hallways or breacher breakers becomes a nessesary thing.

[@dpetersz]

@@KiotheCloud and that's why custom difficulty settings exist. I use wealth independent mode and change raid sizes so they're usually always a fair fight. 300 cavemen running into a deathbox because I have pretty floors also sounds like a kind of cheese to me.

[@KiotheCloud]

@@dpetersz but thats the point if u wanna play with the set difficulty (eg. Strive to survive,) cause making custom difficulty is considered cheating to me since that isnt what the devs intended as an alpha player the whole reason these kinds of raid exist is because its suppose to not only counter kill boxes but make them a part of the game cause even the most sophisticated kill box will be overwhelmed thats what the game was originally suppose to be. Plus kill boxes arent gonna save u from drop on top of u raids and breachers they are meant to stop those huge raids that are other wise impossible to overcome thats why you dont see tribals landing on top of i cause out numbering u is what makes them unique compared to more tech advance factions I normally play with colonies above 21mil wealth cause im a hoarder and like to make pretty bases and not having a kill box or trap hallways(i normally avoid using tox hallways cause those i think are actaul cheese so i use ied/normal traps) is basically a death sentence. Large raids are suppose to be a wake up call to u saying ur time in this world is not limited and u need to finish ur victory choice and finish up those loose end.

[@dpetersz]

@@KiotheCloud my brother in christ I have 300 mods, so you can guess how much I care about how the game was "meant to" be played. If the game is meant to be 4 dozen enemies mindlessly running into an illogical maze then I'd gladly cheat to make it a fair 12v12 shootout/brawl instead. Because that's what's fun for me. I paid for the game so I can play however I want.

[@KiotheCloud]

@@dpetersz but lets be honest kill boxes arent that bad compared to how powerful other dlc are (royalty specifically with that 1 button psycast that makes a raid useless)

[@BierBart12]

Wish you could put shorts in a playlist, this would go in a helpful one

[@handsomeblackman255]

The depths of this game is mind boggling. There are millions of different ways to play.

[@clumsyturtle8544]

Only problem with a switch is I will forget it exists and then wonder why my turrets wont fire lol.

[@rickysmyth]

You don't need switches in the game. Put a single piece of wire under the thing and click on reconnect. Since no colonists required if you forget to turn it on then you can quickly

[@ScoutLovesHer]

What mod is making the textures like that

[@bobowon5450]

It's bofa

[@WitchHunterSiegfried]

Terrain Overhaul (ignore the joker above me lol)

[@mouseburger4183]

The turret switch is so obvious yet ive never done it to save power. In dumb lol definitely gona use that. Good video helped me learn kill boxes

[@KokoplaysMB]

Glad I could help!

[@tobycat5799]

Or.. make a path 6 square length. The 2nd and 4th wall push out, so it's a slight zigzag path Fill the path with doors, and leave them all open. You can use melee attackers to hit through the wall. They cant attack back as they are on a door. The doors will stop enemies from bunching up, so it's all ways 1 at a time. Doors make enemies move slowly, so they filter into your base slowly. Then have a firing line ready for them behind sandbags. On hardest difficulties.. you need to put unpowered turrets to split the enemy group. Or they start popping out through walls.. This 6 long wall will destroy 50 mechs. Only a few will make it out of the tunnel, half dead. As a final bonus. Emp grenades targetted at a wall will go through diagonals. So you can dtop shield belts or centipedes. Dont waste time with expensive traps. They drain your resources. Slap em with Trumbo horns

[@etiennevanderkorput7151]

I have 2800 hours and have never built a kill box, too much of an eye sore for me, breaks the immersion xp

[@brummbear7085]

Am I the only one who had raiders making a fortified position with motars in vanilla

[@KokoplaysMB]

That's called a siege. Mortar them back with your own mortars or bring out a lone sniper to interrupt them and get them to attack you.

[@CursetheVandal]

My killbox is just a small one that i use to take out the first wave its all wood with a fire ied they hit it all start burning some run into the base on fire and get gunned down while others run back out to the lake to put the flames out but the snipers and lmgs are at doors on other side of lake and gun them down as they try to put their flames out

[@steel3z3u59]

Hotbox (geo hole n a few traps or campfires) kinda forget how long you have to make it. 👍🏽

[@MisterThomm]

Nice video bro!

[@TheJewishAzovMember]

I really don't like the cheese tactics that take advantage of the ai but no human would ever be fooled by it

[@plansh0332]

I'm playing with CE so I didn't made a kill box in My run. Instead, I made a distant safety zone where my pawns can shoot really far far away, so I think that plus a good psycaster from vanilla expanded is enough to deal with most raids.

[@samsonthemanson]

Don't put doors in your trap tunnel unless you wanna spend the rest of your life replacing them, raiders break down doors when running away and all it does is break your killbox

[@mitzuriki]

as long as you kept the entrance and the exit open they won't attack/break gap doors. Their AI only focuses on least resistance route

[@haihuynh8772]

@@mitzurikiNot anymore for me. They seem to just path straight through your base if possible now.

What the name of mod for such soil texture?

[@jeremyjd436]

so, how do i control that the raiders even go in through this exact spot into my killbox

[@rean192]

cover everything with Walls and make a specific spot where you leave one open then you can create traps house or kill box or you can combine them both you can search for tutorial so you know how to do it more accurately

[@volodymyr_budii]

Build a wall around and make the only open way to the center of your base be through the kill box
