This base was built and evolved over the course of my first 1.0 playthrough livestreams You can see it being built in game here: kzbin.info/aero/PLDRZ6PYEiJSJlHVGqDOwKgEw6HplNCXPN Let me know if you have any questions! Eko

[@Jacksonnn33]

thank you for this I will def watch the series

[@billmiller2471]

I appreciate all of this the base stood amazingly strong on my day 35 horde. My question though is there anyway way to incorporate the exact same base in a two player build and not sacrifice stability

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

Huge props for the effort you put into your base builds (and tutorials)! Inspiring!

[@Moalex1981]

Truly amazing, that’s a lot of hours looking for the blocks, materials, etc., for each upgrade… 👍🏼

[@CtrlAltElite404]

@GunsNerdsandSteel I was hoping you would see and comment on this build!! His editing style and attention to detail reminds me of the hard work you put into your videos. I have really been digging the base upgrading set to the beat of the music! G9 does this as well and it's always one of my fav parts of the video. Huge props for all the amazing 1.0 content you have been putting out. The camera angles, sound effects, super clear and articulate voiceover, and level of commitment to your base design keep me coming back for more!

[@WaywardEko]

@@shaneflannery5267 I use the most appropriate tools available ... and to rapidly prototype bases, I do often build in creative because it's the most efficient use of time so I can get content out to HELP people learn to build. But if you want you can see me build it in a live playthrough ...kzbin.info/aero/PLDRZ6PYEiJSJlHVGqDOwKgEw6HplNCXPN

[@alexishuon8440]

So I do not know if people know how much work you put into editing that video but I have to let you know how I appreciate your level of dedication and work in those videos. I do thank you directly for this. I have to say I tried to follow couple of base video for 1.0 but I got twice my ass handed to me and then yesterday small update broke my world, probably due to mods I use. I will use this today and again thank you very much, I love everything in your video, the tone of voice, you pace, the way you explain each step to make noob friendly for us. Just Brilliant !

[@WaywardEko]

Thanks for taking the time to provide that feedback. This was by far the biggest tutorial vid that I've done so glad to see it's resonating well!

[@Thevideofish85]

Agreed! Thanks Eko, you can see the love you put into this base and this video, like all of your content. That extra effort goes miles

[@trishlynn8075]

That was well said and put I can also agree on day 50 on my 1.0 I love the thought of giant useable bases but the off the top details to to each and every build is wonderful

[@jimbodee4043]

I love that you detail the raw resources, then show what they can make and then go through all the different shapes and how to get to them in the menus.

good looking out

[@shiykat]

Firstly, thank you for the massive effort you put into this! It was well worth the wait! 💝 As far as single video or separate for the stages, there's pros and cons to each. I will personally be fully content with whichever works out better for you. The individual videos would give us the early version sooner (which is nice), but I also like knowing how the build will need to evolve later even as I'm building the Day 7 base. Also, listing the materials needed... 👍👍👍 Now I know how much to collect before I start, so I don't have to stop in the middle of building! ❤(I hate running out of materials in the middle of building.)

[@WaywardEko]

I get that ... I kinda changed format on the material listing mid vid ... one of the challenges of making these is you almost always forget one of the parts ... and then start recording. So trying to learn better ways to do this but still let people know what they need up front.

[@lancefulcher5544]

Wow, Next level build!! Never seen anyone do the progression and all the pre planning you do. Great work.

Just wrapped up my day 21 horde in the winter biome with this. Had 3 demolishers and unfortunately the 3rd one popped right at the choke point. Blew the iron door to smithereens but everything else held up, including the electric fences! I am a handful of books away from powered vault doors so that's my goal by Day 28. I love this design and the time you put into this video to help us build it has not gone unnoticed, huge kudos my man!

[@CtrlAltElite404]

The only change I made was to put some bars above where I stand surrounded by ramps giving me a wide-eye view of the sky. I prefer to blast those little bastard vultures out of the sky myself for now :) I should also note that I did not have time to widen the stairs or add the grenade pit, and it still held up under a Day 21 horde night in the winter biome where 3 demos and LOADS of cops came to the party!

Thank you! As a console player the change to 7dtd have been a lot to relearn 😂 This base design is going to truly help as I tried the old console base for the first horde and only just held on for the night!

[@WaywardEko]

So happy to have the console folks on the new version!

[@BDSquirrel]

That is a pretty cool and good looking base. Having the zombies have to run on switchbacks is a good way to keep them from entering rage mode. It doesn't immediately activate upon a fall. There is a timer. If you can make them run about for a bit, the timer runs out. I made a simple pill box on stilts base that forces the zombies to run at me with a narrow walkway. This causes many of them to fall down from a traffic jam and allows for a nice rifle build to abuse it. The penetrater perk with AP rounds makes it especially deadly. It also allows for one or two teammates to join in on the fun. Later on, with enough points in traps and wiring, I fill the floor with blade traps all around. The traps kill their rage mode as they take new damage and softens them up with extra damage before they can run back up the ramps to the narrow walkway to get to the pill box.

[@WaywardEko]

Drop some pics in discord when you get it setup! Love seeing how people riff on other ideas!

[@fruzeniusgames]

I don't know if it was intentional, but I loved that the first two hits of the club in Horde Base day 7 went with the music drops. That aside, fantastic base. Love to see the evolution, I might be building this one on our server

100% intentional. It's the little things that makes the edits take longer but is sooo satisfying.

@@WaywardEko So it would seem

[@mementomori5580]

Because zombies can fall on top of one another, you should always have a safety margin of at least 2 blocks and build the area you're standing on at least 13 blocks higher than the ground the zombies are falling on.

[@WaywardEko]

In early game it doesn't matter, in the later hordes the pit easily accounts for that.

[@b5freak445]

This looks like the evolution of the Eko Box.

[@WaywardEko]

It does share some design components for sure!

[@jasiririks]

We built this out of cobblestone for our day 35 hoard and at first it was working really well, they would drop into the pit where we had a bunch of spikes. But then the zombies started attacking the stair supports for some reason, we had only made single pillar stair supports because we didn't think they would bother with that. After the stair collapsed they started attacking the main base supports and we had to abandon the base or it would get destroyed. I'll try with heavier stair support this time. When it works it works really well.

[@WaywardEko]

Yeah - day 35 you need to be up to concrete and have the full base built!

[@macksemi]

Love this

[@WaywardEko]

Thank you!

[@DarkKingChris78]

Just used this for my day 7 horde and plan on upgrading ut to the day 14 one. Worked great but had a couple close calls because zombies decided to crawl on each other and block the door. Also the broke the double pole and valister while i was dealing with a zombie that got in. So if your doing insane 64 count hopefully you get some cement mix or you get lucky with ammo drops pre horde. Otherwise keep that door open?closed? and shoot them with arrows as they fall down.

[@WaywardEko]

Opening the door can be tricky when they stack up but usually you can get an opening. You could technically leave the door open all horde and they will keep trying without going into rage mode. Yeah - I tested on Survivalist ... so on Insane you'll have more stack up dealing with the crazy HP numbers.

Second comment, I appreciated the long video, but I also would have loved a 3 or 4 part series evolving the base from week to week. There was another creator that did that (his channel is inactive now sadly) and it was cool to just see video to video how it changed.

[@WaywardEko]

I'm on the fence ... I'll have to see how this one performs ... it hurt me not to be putting out a lot of content but this ended up being near a 40 hr edit. That could have been 3 vids easily dropped in sequence.

[@fruzeniusgames]

Hoo-boy that's a lot of editing time. I hope this one blows up! As long as there's Eko content to watch, I know people will be happy

[@reallybadgamer]

Gonna try this in my new game I just started and looking forward to it. Something to consider for the next version are dart traps.

[@WaywardEko]

You could put some in the pit, but you wouldn't be able to reload during horde. Dart traps are hard because they only fire in a direct path.

[@reallybadgamer]

@@WaywardEko Haven't look closely yet but maybe the top fence post could be replaced with two dart traps, one on each side (in the 7 day+ version).

[@Mariusz803]

Some things to improve: 1) make it min 11 block high so they don't go into rage mode when falling (preferrably 13 to be safe when double stacking), 2) use pole then door, so they don't stack side by side at melee point, 3) use spiral stairs to save blocks and space rather than ladders or long stairs. Looks cool though! I'll try a variant some day when V1.0 is officially released.

[@WaywardEko]

It is 11 blocks high :) and more after you add the pit. Pole is a single point of failure - the combo cube + 2 narrow tips allows for redundancy. Spiral staircases would absolutely be a viable choice!

[@nosbigdamus9665]

Dam good idea
