Who is excited for the new building possibilities? I will continue testing out blocks but if anyone has any suggestions, let it be known! Our latest 80+ Base Building Beginner Tips contains a ton of relevant information for the 1.0 update: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6nRq3VjeMmJfLM A new melee base design using the Pole 4-Way shape: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKq1ZppmorWCbJo For those looking for EVEN more tips and strategies, check out our 100 building tips video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bovQgpKsmNBnhs0 Though it was made during alpha 21, everything still works in 1.0 :)

There's a double rail catwalk block, rails only. If you stack them with the rail side touching they become invisible. I had a giant 50x50 two story with a root farm that looked like it was floating 16 blocks above a foundation.

Ahhh, I've missed these videos. Your insane base builds are incredible, but I always look forward to your block testing videos each update. So thorough, informative, and entertaining bud. There was, however, one thing surprisingly missing; Taco!!! Where was the "Hey, Taco, come try to climb this", or the "I saw it Taco.... it was a drive-by head shooting that came out of nowhere!", or maybe the "Come on Taco, climb this super-tall ladder to get in to the base". After all your upcoming testing videos and new base ideas I think the viewers NEED to eventually see a custom built Taco obstacle course base where she has to make it from one end to the other without falling. I'm sure you could do some "surprises" like garage doors pushing through a seemingly innocent wall and such. If you do this video I will deny all ownership of this idea for the purpose of protecting myself from an angry Taco, lol

[@pseudoposse]

Nice to see you around these parts again guru! We've missed them too but now with plenty of new things to test, get ready! As for taco, don't worry, she will be thoroughly tested and forced to climb as many ladders as possible for the sake of science! And yes, I'll put some or all of the blame on you 😉

[@theguru143]

@@pseudoposse So, update regarding the 4-way block. I hate to kill this idea but it didn't work well with a difficult horde night. They are, somehow, able to push each other through those openings when they pile up. We had multiple zombies make it through to attack us. It's possible I did something incorrectly, but I followed your instructions. Quite a few were pushed in to the floor so only their shoulders and head were seen, but they could move and hit us, lol

[@pseudoposse]

@@theguru143 Both taco and I spotted that too! Glad to see others testing! Yeah they totally glitch through the poles if they pile up too much in lategame hordes especially if you use the corridor design in which zombies drop through the poles in the very narrow corridor. However there is an easy fix for that upcoming ;) Correction there are a couple fixes that can be employed to keep all the functionality and prevent zombies squeezing each other through. Stay tuned!

As always GOAT content, there was a couple blocks that let you build floating bases or force fields, one was a catwalk with rails on both sides and when placed one on top of another in certain position the block becomes invisible and un tangible, dunno if that still works on A22, there was also a pipe block that worked as a force field wall, again dunno if it still works haven't been able to play the new patch yet. Again thx for the video, got some ideas to use the new blocks!

This was wonderful and fun to watch. What an imagination for design and aesthetics. My horde base is quite basic. I can't remember all the shapes anymore.

Still love playing though when I remember how to work the computer. Stream says I have 4000 hours into this game. I don't remember any of it. I will be killing zabombies until I am one.

[@pseudoposse]

Haha fair point! But since some of these strategies worked in alpha 21, perhaps we can slip under the radar ;)

[@W1se0ldg33zer]

They used to have the wedge tips so if zombies fell on to them they'd stick to them. But then they'd have issues with them running on to them and then running in place - that was a long time ago. I had built a big pitfall with those and they would land on one then proceeded to beat the crap out of the walls made from those. Then also around that same time period they had it so even if you had a straight down wall they could still 'land' on a seam and would beat the tar out of the blocks they were facing, dig a tunnel out and around or down to you. Dogs were great at landing on seams and are generally great at digging.

[@pseudoposse]

Ah yes the earlier alpha days. Things certainly have changed since then.

[@Semirotta]

For some reason when ever we have horde night bases, the zombies always tend to start beating the walls / pillars even if there is route to the entrance where we are. Thought it was an AI change but might not be that.

[@pseudoposse]

If they are beating on your walls/pillars, several things could be going on: 1) Zombies can see a direct route to your position through the walls/pillars and feel it is easier to go that way versus the route 2) There is no inadvertent/accidental path through your walls pillars, but your supports are so weak, they feel it is faster to break through and collapse you rather then follow the path 3) The route is too long and they feel it is easier to break through 4) Something is wrong with the path and thus they cannot reach you Try positioning yourself on various points along the route to see if they follow it. If they do, see at what point they'd rather beat on the walls/supports. Based on that, try to identify the issue and fix it. Good luck!

[@pseudoposse]

I could give a short tutorial in a future video as to how I use the creative menu and console commands :)

[@Oktokolo]

The most promising shapes for actual basebuilding are the new wedges. In A21, i used three of the four-block wedge shapes as the lower part of my ladder into the base. Would be nice to be able to use six of the new eight-block wedge shapes instead - or all eight without an actual ladder on top. I need to test those at the weekend...

[@pseudoposse]

The new ramps I tested are definitely insanely good for zombie pathing. Better than the pole 4way in that regard. I definitely have more experimenting to do :)

[@Oktokolo]

@@pseudoposse I plan to use them for "player pathing" though. Classic steep ramp base entrance you enter by sprint-jumping up. Wonder, whether the new ones are too steep for that.

@@Oktokolo They might be. With wedge narrows, you can easily run across them whereas with these, it is very difficult if not impossible.

It would be nice if there was a realistic tier list. I have used ideas from previous videos when making a horde base, but I don't allow for any floating in the air blocks. I think the 4 way pole block is a big step in the right direction

[@pseudoposse]

The "floating air" blocks are unfortunately very effective. I'd love it if it were more grounded and realistic. It could be interesting if I made a video on "realistic" base designs that work.

[@ladybug591]

The Pole 4-way block with the Catwalk floor looks very good - one question - what does this 4-way block UP-GRADE to? Can it be brought up to Steel? You also show ways to slow the Zombies down a bit for melee - melee is such fun, which I like, so the final strength of the block may dictate how much they need slowing down to cope with repairs in the mad rush. We eventually use electricity and steel blocks in our melee - shooting base style. Also, thanks so much for your ladder and railing diagonal up the top. We used this simple idea by making a nice self-contained live-in tower of three 5x5x4 rooms with all tables put in as we built upwards and enclosed the top with a cage to stop the birds. One ladder inside went up to the top fighting area and we put a ladder with the Railing Diagonal at the top up three sides for redundancy. It worked well, but we did not get to use it with Demolishers - I'm sure it would still be fine. Regards.

[@pseudoposse]

I am thrilled the railing diagonal has worked well for you! That is correct, the pole 4-way block can be fully upgraded to steel, the full 10k hitpoints. We actually made an early/lategame melee horde base using this block in our newest video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKq1ZppmorWCbJo

[@MildarValsik]

Here you are testing out the greatest ways to build a horde base. Me: mean while I'm putting in points into cardio and run and gun. To spend the horde night outside runing around with mega crushes and steroids shots. Granted not the best experience points gain yet fun to change it up some. I might look into that one building piece.

[@pseudoposse]

That is certainly a viable strategy :) It sure is fun to mix it up once in a while.

[@IsThatDrak]

i actually like it when TFP nerf them into the ground because its fun to figure out new tactics. though i actually miss the days before smart zombies, i want them to just spawn at each side and just beat on your walls from all sides to get to you. all they needed to do to make it harder would be increase the zombies. radiated zombies will still tear through steel blocks fast. i do often build an afk case for some of my players or rarely myself when im really not in the moon, but 90% of the time i enjoy the fight and xp

[@pseudoposse]

Since I like testing, I guess I wouldn't be that upset if I got to find a bunch of new strategies. I do miss the earlier alphas when they weren't so smart. I've long hoped they'd revert some of that, make at least some zombies more dumb.

[@IsThatDrak]

@@pseudoposse best way is just to give us an option to enable/disable smart zombies. i think project zomboid is the perfect example we can make the game hard with slow and stupid zombies, without acid spit, exploding ect. i was them zombies in 7 days. just hordes that make leaving your base terrifying lol

[@pseudoposse]

@@IsThatDrak That would be an amazing option to have! Or even a slider or something so you could really control the balance. I've long wished 7dtd had some of project zomboid's customization options.

[@dichebach]

Great information! One question: don't a lot of these zombie dropper designs have vulnerability to zombies going into "Destroy Everything Mode" when they land are within X blocks of player? Is building high a good means to mitigate that vulnerability? How high? My understanding is, it used to be "11 blocks" so a platform built at 12 blocks would work, but it seems that distance may have been increased to more like 16 or 17 blocks?

[@pseudoposse]

Anytime you drop zombies, you will have to deal with the zombie rage mechanic. As you mentioned, as long as they are further than 11 blocks from the player, there is a near zero chance they'll start destroying everything. I say near zero as a small percentage of zombies will still start beating on your supports. Aside from that strategy, you could dump zombies into some water which will also stop rage mode. Electric traps will achieve similar effect as well.

[@infreno848]

hi there!, can you do some tests for the new update about "force fields \shields" ? love you'r content keep up the good work

There has to be. I haven't tested that out yet but I'll make sure to do so.

[@stevedixon921]

I kind of want to know how the 4 way pole as a melee barrier functions with animals (dogs and bears). I will try it out on my next play I think.

[@pseudoposse]

Come to think of it, I don't think I encountered any dogs from either horde I did. I think it should work especially if you put up the half length pillars.

[@schwak112]

I have the setup shown at ~6 min mark, using the pieces called out at the top of the stairs with the appropriate angle facing the stairs, yet in blood moon mobs still don't always file in, they'll punch the walls. I wonder if its due to mob speed? they are set to run and not sprint on blood moon.

[@pseudoposse]

I have my zombies set to the fastest speed so speed isn't the issue. If they are punching the walls, that might indicate they are getting stuck. If you have sharp contours or corners, consider putting in some wedges to make it more gradual . When zombies get stuck, they will tend to beat on surrounding blocks. That is where I'd recommend starting at to fix that issue.

[@thedevilinthedetails3061]

What about the cube 5m Dome Middle 06? Does that still work as a foundation block that they can't hit very well to make a floating base?

[@pseudoposse]

I'll have to test that out! Thanks for sharing!

[@IzurielsBane]

how do you prevent the zombies from destroying the supports for the 4 way pole floor you showed, i tried it out and they immediately dropped an started beating on the support blocks all night instead

[@pseudoposse]

The trick is to build it high enough. You want it to be at least an 11 block drop, though 13 is safer. If you watched our melee base video using the pole 4-way, you'll see the base I construct there is around 15 blocks high. Zombies won't rage and destroy things if it is high enough. Good luck!

i have a question : all those modded zombies that we see trough your videos, what mod it is ? this looks hella difficult to play, i want it, is there a video explaining that somewhere please ? real great content, those guides are the best i saw over the internet ! EDIT : if it is not modded, tell me, cuz i was looking on wikis to check on them but i cant find them anywhere 2ND EDIT : why my game is still in alpha 21.2 ? is that because its only on new maps that the v1 is available ? or it is because steam dont have the v1 for now ?

[@pseudoposse]

Some of the mods were created from our ModGen GUI: www.nexusmods.com/7daystodie/mods/3345?tab=files&BH=0 And I think some stuff you might have seen was also from the popular Darkness Falls mod.

[@blainebickle1178]

They really need to update the zombie AI to be more randomized. I think it would make for much more horde nights.

[@pseudoposse]

I agree, I wish they were not as predictable which would force more creative base building. Even if only a percentage of them were to follow the optimal path, it would still force you to handle the randoms.

[@evilspyke5760]

They used to be that way. When this game came out, there were no zombie pathing.

[@blainebickle1178]

@@evilspyke5760 Yeah I remember. I think it should be somewhere in between where a bunch will try to break in from weak points, but other's will randomly just attack walls, like pseudoposse said

let me know if you find a block thats good for making them jump onto your base but fall off... i tried the sloping blocks in alpha 21.. they go up the ladder but dont jump onto my roof.. even when i took the roof off and they could have literally jumped on top of me they didnt jump.. i had to go outside of my base and stand on a single block then they jumped to me mostly falling off but sometimes landing next to me and they killed me.. so basically i couldnt get it to work.. i was hoping theyd ladder up a skyscraper and id be on a base off the side of it and theyd jump the gap to me but fall off... another weird thing i found is zombies seem to keep often falling off the ladder on the way up which ive never noticed happening before.. i barely needed to do anything

[@pseudoposse]

You can definitely get them to fall off while jumping in a variety of ways. Forcing them to jump up narrow pillars can do the trick. Also the pillars, triangle plate 1/4, plate 1/4, etc, plus bars can get zombies to fall via jumping. You could even use the half block trick i showed and add a block in front to get them to jump though it does work better having them just run through.

[@gamingjim5919]

The first build, you basically made a JaWoodle zombie dropper using twice as many blocks 🤣

[@pseudoposse]

It is way overbuilt. It doesn't need to be nearly as long, like less than a third of the length. And you don't need both sides...just one row of the ramps will do the trick.

[@tigrecito48]

hey.. have you noticed how dogs, wolves etc can walk up the side of walls now? seems like the devs made a cheat to allow them to slide up certain blocks.. whats the best way to remove this cheating ability they have? for example... if i do a jump to ladder into my base on the 3rd block above the ground, and full blocks behind it, dogs cant climb up into my base but the problem with this ladder setup is if ur too close to the wall sometimes it wont let u jump cos ur under the bottom of the ladder so the normal solution was to put 2 plates under the ladder so u can 100% of the time jump up... what ive noticed since alpha 21 is if i put those plates there.. dogs can magically slide up those plates and get into my base.. did you ever do a test to see which blocks dogs can cheat with and which they cannot cheat? thanks

[@pseudoposse]

I haven't ever had dogs/wolves scale up my walls in the previous alpha. I'll make sure to test that out in the update :)

Are they adding thirdperson but without using the console?

[@pseudoposse]

Not that I am aware of.

[@MrMagyar5]

DO you know, if in 1.0, the traps have had any updates to durability/useability. I find that traps are more of a nuisance than a viable alternative to base protection. Creative construction seems to be the best defense.

[@pseudoposse]

Creative designs are certainly the first and best line of defense. I haven't really tested out traps yet in 1.0 as I finally got to play the update on Monday. But I'll be sure to take a look!

[@MrMagyar5]

@@pseudoposse Thank you. I downloaded the beta but haven't had any time to really play between work and family. I like the game, but, it's been a wip for a long time. I would love to see traps be a more durable and reliable form of base defense. Turrets are great, but that's about it.

[@pseudoposse]

@@MrMagyar5 Absolutely. If I had to guess, I don't think traps are less fragile. That being said, you can use mods to make them more durable :)

[@MrMagyar5]

@@pseudoposse Likely. This is one of the biggest concerns I have with games and developers. If your product, at any point, has a majority of your customers using an addition to the product, you should be humble enough to consider that your product may have an opportunity for improvement. You see this in ARK a LOT. The majority of players in the game play with "QoL" mods and instead of the developers addressing these QoL changes which could elevate their product to new players, they instead focus on money grabs with add on creatures etc. If your community needs a mod to make traps viable as a base defense, it might be wise to have a discussion and roadmap on how to address that issue. I don't particularly like QoL mods. I do enjoy overhaul mods, however.

[@pseudoposse]

@@MrMagyar5 To be fair, balancing anything in some particular way will make some happy and other not so much. That being said, I agree, they are too fragile especially the blade traps which require constant babysitting.

anyone know what would be the best way to create a lava effect in this game? also.. does anyone know how far water goes? i dug a tunnel from the sea to a hole i made.. but it seems to be taking an awful long time to fill the tunnel.. im wondering if the new water physics spread ability has a limit to distance it can go???

[@pseudoposse]

There's definitely limits to water. It can take a LONG time for water to spread. And it also depends on the size of the original water source.

[@tigrecito48]

@@pseudoposse do you know does the water only spread if ur in the area? if i go off to loot other pois will it be exactly the same when i get back? i noticed since alpha 21 u cant get rid of sea water, if u put frames down and completely fill an area and remove them the water is still there right? but does it do that with water you placed? and if not how does it know which bits are sea water and which bits are from a bucket? what if they mix?

Yet more cheese blocks. I wish they bring back old zombie AI where you have to build an all-rounder base instead of cheeses that you wont ever build if ever we get in a zombie apocalypse.

[@pseudoposse]

I remember the good ole days of dumb zombies. At this point, I don't think we'll ever go back to that though I do wish we'd be able to configure zombie "smartness" which would make base designs more interesting.

[@copendubb]

I don't hear you mentioning destroy everything mode. When zombies fall when they land they go into destroy everything mode for a few seconds. Supposedly you can negate this by making the pillar you stand on at least like 13 blocks away. Only problem is with building that far away if zombies come from that side they will go for your pillars instead of the other side where the stairs are.

[@pseudoposse]

Correct, I didn't touch upon the zombie rage mechanic in this video. I may have briefly mentioned it but that want the focus. But in general, there are some ways to deal with it. One way which you alluded to is if zombies are at least 11 blocks from player, there is a near zero chance zombies will rage. Dropping them in water at any distance will also stop rage. And if they take damage from other sources like electric traps, that will also prevent it. But if you opt to build a large base, make sure wherever they drop, there's a short enough path back up to you or they will opt to destroy if it is too far.
