Underground Bunker NO CHEESE Melee Multiplayer Base - 7 Days to Die 1.1

[@pseudoposse]

Another base design for you lactose intolerant connoisseurs of base building 🍷🚫🧀

[@majorlouis956]

keep them coming mate happy new year

[@omicronpersei9510]

Not sure how I missed this one, but really nice job. The build looks fantastic

[@andreas.grundler]

I have a suggestion for improvement. If the blade traps are destroyed, it is difficult to replace them while zombies keep coming at you. One idea would be to install a roll up gate to keep the zombies out until you have installed and connected new blade traps. The rolling gate has enough HP to last for a while. You can also install turrets to keep the zombies at bay.

[@pseudoposse]

Love the idea! During one of my horde recordings, I had a demo blow up the blade traps when I accidentally triggered him carelessly. I was able to replace the blade traps due to the stun of the fence posts but it took some time get them in place. That would have made it easier :)

[@davidhuang8406]

I'm definitely stealing that idea. Perhaps you could use powered doors as well so you can open/close them via a switch. Can't recall, but I don't think roll up doors have a powered version?

[@the_algo_rhythm]

@@andreas.grundler Good thinking. I've been having good success staggering my blade traps slightly and inverting some to get them to line up 3 blocks high, hitting head, torso, and legs.

[@KillMeOrUDie]

Wow that’s a neat idea

[@xDarkShadow24]

Love the editing and the informative style you always have in your videos! I have been using the no cheese base with a little bit of cheese and i cant wait to try this one aswell

[@pseudoposse]

Both taco and I are glad! I've been having fun doing these types of builds and feel rather refreshed trying to build in different ways. Keep on the lookout for more :)

[@TheBlueB0mber]

Just want to say I appreciate all the effort you put into making your bases look amazing...I wish I had the patience! 😅

[@pseudoposse]

You're welcome! Haha yes, it does require a certain level of patience but it does feel satisfying when it is complete.

[@jchysteria]

I love your uploads!

[@Ogmosic]

Great design! Love the editing and information.

[@jayql]

7dtd is probably my most played game because of this channel. Who edits your videos? The direction and editing is insane.

[@pseudoposse]

Wow we really appreciate that so much! This channel is run by my wife and I. My wife, tacobear (known simply as taco around these parts), does the editing and thumbnails. She has a really good eye for that stuff, much better than what I could do lol :D

[@the_algo_rhythm]

I've been using Bart's Salvage as a hybrid underground/aboveground base for a while now, and it's held up so far. I created a drawbridge pit in front of my vehicle garage, knocked out the floor on the other side, replaced it with automated steel hatch doors, and turned the basement area into the main fighting area. The idea being zack goes around the perimeter, (which is surrounded by a storage block barrier- thanks for that one) trips the hatches, fall through blade traps and fences, all while I'm behind scaffold ladder. I did put a decent layer of asphalt around as well to try and mitigate digging, but so far the majority of them path to the drop zone and get slaughtered.

[@pseudoposse]

Sounds awesome!! Yeah I think because you are not far underground, the pathing still works pretty well.

[@the_algo_rhythm]

@@pseudoposse Thanks, I've been using a lot of your tips and tricks! I'm guessing you're right- there's still an easier path. It works even better when there's a second player across from the hatches- they all try to path there first, then fall down to me. (I'm actually still on the last alpha, lol- I had so much time spent on that save, and the 1.0+ release is just too... RPG-esque compared to the sandbox feel of the alpha.) I've tried to make a (mostly) realistic/non-cheese base since I found the bunker under the POI. The vast majority of crafting and storage is underground in the bunker, with farming and such in the warehouse and yard. It seems to keep heat down a bit and makes stuff less vulnerable. There's a handful of SMG turrets for wandering hordes and screamers and a cluster of shotgun turrets next to the fighting positions. I'm on day 250 something and I haven't had any failures- mostly just the occasional particularly dumb zeke getting caught on a wall somewhere. Granted, if I try to up the horde count to anything above 16 it's basically a PowerPoint presentation because I'm playing on a potato.

[@pseudoposse]

@@the_algo_rhythm I'm glad our tips and tricks have been useful! Day 250, wow!! I think highest I ever went was around day 180 or so...been years since I did a playthrough that long.

[@the_algo_rhythm]

@@pseudoposse You and Taco are by far the best 7dtD content creators on the Tubes of You, cheers!

[@emorsi]

Damn... you are an architect... and... well, and a gamer. This base is just beautiful.

[@pseudoposse]

Thank you very much!

[@reynac8016]

Love the video, appreciate all the efforts from you two!

[@pseudoposse]

Absolutely, thank you for watching!

[@user-bn5df6hl1d]

ive been annoyed at the lack of stats and testing on alot of features in this game i am so happy to have found your channel

[@pseudoposse]

Welcome to the channel!

[@MikeOxLong1042]

Man i love how at the start you showed clips from all the previous horde base videos and it reminds me how many sick videos you made. You really deserve more likes your the best out there

[@pseudoposse]

Thank you, that means a lot :)

[@osarmys]

Excellent work Pseudo!

[@pseudoposse]

Thanks!!

[@notgonnahappen7899]

The ingellect knock back turrets are a greta option as well to help keep yourself from being overwhelmed. They can opperate through scaffold ladders and help create space to keep zombies from beating on the fighting position.

[@pseudoposse]

That is a good suggestion!

[@tpeel6309]

Awesome as always! Personally, I hate underground bases, too much maintenance. I did really like the aesthetics of this base!

[@pseudoposse]

I generally avoid doing underground bases as well. I did one in an alpha 20 playthrough before and it was just annoying to maintain and setup. But after I fixed the deficiencies and stopped the diggers, it worked really well. But man oh man, it was a lot more work.

[@Nico-ki2gc]

beautiful!

[@AlohaHumor]

First ;D Always appreciate your base building videos, Pseudo! Good stuff.

[@pseudoposse]

We appreciate that, thanks for stopping by!

[@azazeldeath]

"Between you and a friend if you have one" i feel so called out. Legit only really have 1 friend left. And he doesnt play 7D2D

[@Genesis8934]

I'm not anti-cheese, but I LOVE the design of this base. :) The only thing that could make it better is to have a vehicle escape path. edit: I'd probably use cheese biscuits (the circles/discs on shaft/pit bases to have zombies drop "safely" according to their AI lol) on the secondary shaft. You could even combine the two and have the secondary shaft drop at the bottom of the staircase.

[@pseudoposse]

Glad you like the base despite the lack of cheese! A vehicle escape path could be nice. Extra work but if you plan on playing long term, would be beneficial.

[@kxujwyzqpae6950]

It seems AI gone psychotic more and more. Good video. Au plaisir.

[@pseudoposse]

Pretty much lol. Thanks!

[@Dbdlive]

Does this need to be built in a hill or can I just build it outside and put a few changes on the entrance just keep the stairs down the same ?

[@pseudoposse]

You could adjust the entrance to put it anywhere. You could dig down from flat terrain with some stairs and adjust the entrance accordingly.

[@jmaniere]

can only become an expert in 7d3d base building by testing and failing a lot :-) but expert work it is !...

[@pseudoposse]

Unless you are willing to fail countless times, you won't become an expert at anything :) Agreed, it is a lot of work but also lots of fun!

[@dra6o0n]

Can land claims be used to control the zombie spawns along with bedrolls of multiple players? One on either side with bedrolls filling the middle gaps. Or land claims outside your bunker on either side, since zombies can't spawn inside a mountain.

[@pseudoposse]

Land claims/beds will prevent zombies from re-spawning within a POI but it won't prevent zombies from spawning on the ground during a horde.

[@robbailie5878]

Great video as always. When going underground does it make any difference, mats permitting, if you double up on the thickness of the concrete structure? So if everything is several blocks thick in concrete, does it then push them to use the longer way in? Or do they tunnel down to then chew through the increased thickness to get to you?

[@pseudoposse]

The thicker walls are necessary, and if they aren't thick enough, they will absolutely dig to you. It took about 5-7 layers of concrete above my fighting position to deter them. Before I added the second path, I had 15+ layers of steel and they still wanted to dig rather then run the extra distance. Which is why I recommend building around 30-40 blocks from the surface entrance. You could probably cut down the number of concrete layers to 3-5 if you are that much closer. I'd estimate my base was around 70-80 blocks from the entrance making it much harder to deter zombies from digging.

[@Batushka_FanPage]

Whats the triangle piece at 6:25

[@pseudoposse]

That would be the Cube 1/4 7m Round Filler

[@Vici0usKill3r16]

I play on console so still trying to learn but is it possible to build something like this but also being a main base included vehicles without messing up the pathing?

[@pseudoposse]

You could absolutely build something like this but also include a path in/out for vehicles. You might want to block that path from zombies but you can certainly do it if you have the patience.

[@mmo_joey7376]

Would you be willing to make a base IF you were to go bow (no crossbow) and knife? Going to try that soon and would love to see what you come up with.

[@pseudoposse]

It is funny that you should mention that...I think you'll find the next video (currently in editing) rather relevant ;)

[@majorlouis956]

Hi m8 what blocks did you use for roof going down

[@pseudoposse]

Ramps were used in the inner roof to give a smooth sloped going down.

[@majorlouis956]

@pseudoposse thanks mate

[@Md936S]

I think it's since A21 that they tweaked the zombie AI to prefer digging.

[@pseudoposse]

That could be correct. It is definitely annoying haha. I wish they'd lessen the weighting a bit to make underground bases more viable without needing to turn the entire mountain to steel.

[@the_algo_rhythm]

@@Md936S Huh- didn't know that. My main save is still A21, I'm underground at Bart's Salvage, and I don't have problems with diggers.

[@Md936S]

@@the_algo_rhythm it depends, I think, on zombie count. GNS had a really hard time with his bedrock base in A21. Zombies would simply start digging at random even if they had a proper path down to him.

[@the_algo_rhythm]

@@Md936S I think the actual solution is that my fighting positions are only maybe 10 blocks underground. There's an easier path with automated steel hatch doors that drops zack off into my kill zone.

[@Md936S]

@@the_algo_rhythm probably

[@CosmicIceCream]

Just a heads-up, the intense strobing effect added in this makes it impossible to watch for those who suffer from aural migraines like me - I had to turn the video off almost immediately. No big deal, just thought I'd let you know

[@grumpynomad3551]

Nobody cares about your migraines. Maybe get off the internet.

[@pseudoposse]

Thanks for informing us! We'll keep that in mind in future videos :)

[@BelegornHK]

goddamn I hate the devs for that stupid ass digging option for the zombies..

[@pseudoposse]

I don't mind that they can dig, but I do think it is a bit excessive with their pathing. If there is a way down, they should follow it rather than spend all night digging.

[@RecuringWolfe]

I wish TFP would let us have viable underground bunkers. Diggy zombies don't make sense, and the length you had to go to just to get them to walk down a safe stretch of unobscured path, its crazy! Its like they tried to make underground bunkers not viable. And that's a bit sad, as they could be very cool. We can't have bunkers, they are too stronk and not realistic... buuut we can have cheese paths of 14 metre zombie drops, zombie slides, zombie stuck in triangles... that's okay and realistic, and not too stronk at all, is it? Sigh... come on TFP. Let us build viable bases which are strong AND realistic.

[@pseudoposse]

I wish they'd tone down the degree to which zombies want to dig. You need way too many layers to make it work. Besides, underground bases are more difficult and time consuming to make so it should be a hefty investment by the player that gets rewarded.

[@RecuringWolfe]

@pseudoposse ya know... Their desire to dig might be usable against them. Would they prefer a path, even a horrid one, if it had a layer of dirt in it somewhere. The path would require digging at some point, so their coding may force them to take crazy routes of heavy resistance, just because there is a dirt wall somewhere along the path...

[@Techfanatic73]

I don’t build bases period. I always use an existing POI. Way more fun. This whole base you build is all cheese. lol. Good video. But I’ll keep using real buildings. I also always use same base for horde night or not.

[@pseudoposse]

Fair enough lol. Building in POIs saves a bunch of materials and time! Curious, what part of the base do you think is cheese?

[@robinmiller871]

It's not. He's just jealous. What you do is soooo much work.

[@Vitucadrus]

Yeah some people prefer building their own structure to see if it can efficiently withstand a zombie horde night.. and others cheese it on top of the roof of an existing POI. See what I did there? Each to their own play style.. There is no better or worse way, there is only the way you want to play.

[@brandonjohnson7310]

and no ones building this in survival bro

[@pseudoposse]

I did say quite clearly multiple times I was pushing it to extreme to see what it would take to go deep inside the mountain. And I even mentioned how you should tweak the design to actually build it in game.
