Unveiling the Switchback's Horde Base Evolution - 7 Days to Die

[@WaywardEko]

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

[@SicknessWin]

Firstly, thanks for a great video for someone just beginning the journey into 7dtd! Now, the question. I've built an exact copy of your base, but i seem to be having some issues with zombie pathing. It's 11 blocks tall, with 10 spikes on the center column. I've only upgraded the entrance where i fight them to cement, and all of my lower part of the base is steel. Yet, somehow there seem to only be around a third of them climbing the stairs, while most keep hitting the steelpart on the groundlevel? Most of the ground level is cement as foundation whilst the pillars are all the first 2 levels with steel. Been trying to figure this out, but i can't seem to find a solution :/ You happen to know of one?

[@tesseract2365]

@@SicknessWin Sounds like they are going into rage mode. You want to zombies to fall 13 blocks or more otherwise they rage and will attack your base. Keep in mind the zombies pile on one another so if they fall on a heap, you can take a few blocks away as well.

[@SicknessWin]

@@tesseract2365 I figured it out, and oh my do i feel sincerely stupid after i did. I had simply forgotten to close the door for some reason, and had just never noticed. Had never used powered doors before that, and it was connected to a timer, but the timer had max connections if i recall correct(?), which took away the one for the door.

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

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

@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.

[@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

[@shee1313]

100% agree! First of all - many thanks, Eko! Have to say, that I´m german native (Austria) - so it gave me a little hard time, to find out all the right blocks you`re using, but I spent my nights figuring out and preparing them - and I can say: your tutorial also works fine for german speaking people! 😉 Took some time to integrate your base to my existing game - but with the advantage of having another "working" base next to it - now everything works like charms! Again tahnks a lot for your effort, Eko! Lovely regards from Austria! 👍😃

[@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.

[@SimonCleric]

Has to be one of the absolute best 7 days videos I've seen. I love that it's not just "put cubes, put railings, done", but actually an aesthetically pleasing base. Pure art.

[@jeremyblaiklock4243]

You know... I've watched a LOT of base build videos lately as I'm learning the game, and I keep coming back to this one for it's simplicity and effectiveness. Well done!

[@WaywardEko]

Glad it has helped!!!

[@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.

[@ItsRemnant]

Okay first of all, Eko, the algorithm is god-tier for bringing me here because your videos, ESPECIALLY this one, are absolutely top freaking notch. Thank you so much for this, and goddamn your community is full of creative people! Secondly, 19:52 is the absolute highlight of this video to me. No idea why, but the scaffolding just casually collapsing beneath you (or whoever was with you) on the right was absolutely hilarious.

[@WaywardEko]

Thanks kindly! This was a massive lift video to put together but super proud of it! The scaffolding thing happened on accident ... totally did it to myself and realized I had to leave it in!

[@ItsRemnant]

@@WaywardEko As you should be! It's phenomenal. I'm glad you left it in, all the best to you, looking forward to seeing more

[@danielwilms6919]

Immediately after 1 minute I liked the video when I have seen the different iterrations of the bases side by side, the checkerboard pattern floor to easily count the blocks, the number of resources needed. Well done! Update: And the video got even better after that!

[@WaywardEko]

Thank you for this. I LOVE THE BRICK NAMES listed on the screen when you are using that brick. I am doing this base almost brick for brick.

Really well done!

[@belladivine7944]

@@WaywardEko yes it did, hubby wants to build it now. we play together and also solo. he is going to use some parts for his solo game.

[@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!

[@Mariusz803]

@@WaywardEko I should have mentioned to stack two poles ontop of eachother to have that redundency. Will try so since V1 already came out!

[@CtrlAltElite404]

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!

[@WaywardEko]

Glad it's working well for you!!

[@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!

[@Stelyns]

I'm not exactly sure about the specifics, but I'm pretty sure the zombies are being triggered into rage mode when they fall. I think it's 13 blocks to avoid it completely, 11 blocks if they don't hit anything on their way down. But they love to clump up and fall on each other's heads, falling only 9 blocks of height since they landed on a zombie, I imagine spike traps would reduce their fall distance too. So I think it's a good idea to have a 13 block gap just to have some headroom for these situations, if you don't wanna build higher you can dig a pit 2 blocks deep all around the zombie path, make sure they have an easy way back to the path though

[@tminusboom2140]

When explaining stability, always mention that it's only the top of the supporting pillar that matters. You can have dirt all the way up, and then a cobblestone block at the top, and it offers the exact same support from that cobble as if it was a full cobble pillar.

[@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

[@WaywardEko]

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

[@fruzeniusgames]

Love it! The musician in me appreciated every single one.

[@bradenwoollums9643]

im not a horde base type of person, but ill say that this video is nothing but quality. nice job!

Yes, I typically "fight where I live", but this design could be adopted. Increase the platform level from 7x7 to 11x11, add a second level, one for living, one for fighting.

[@YokoJrGaming]

Watching this build was great! I loved the details you provided. I actually built this base while you were building it on the streams and really like the upgrades you did with the base and the changes made.

Your base builds have always been a big help when playing this games, even in overhauls like darkness falls and the age of oblivion. Can’t wait to build this one in the wasteland mod as I wasn’t sure I wanted to do the eko box again in there as I made a much larger version for 4 players to defend in df and found that it was a pain for just me and it was mostly to have a full base for myself.

Enjoy - this is a significantly stronger base than the Ekobox. It scales and has more space for traps.

@WaywardEko, love the video and the base. It is working well. I was able to keep pace through day 14 and even upgrade everything upgraded to cobblestone on day day 21. I am on day 27 and still do not have near enough forge books to have a mixer. Your videos are awsome! It would be helpful for noobs like me if you explained what skills you were investing in to keep pace with your time line. Keep up the great work.

[@WaywardEko]

Lots of tricks if you are struggling w/ workstation books. Put a single point into lockpicking. This will singularly boost your chances for workstation books up to level 15 in workstations. Also keep an eye out for cement mixers - they almost always have forge ahead mags ... to that end you can always follow the trader line through quests as each trader will have a few cement mixers/broken forges. Finally .. watch for the traders to sell the workstation mags.

Is there a building mistake or something else I am missing? Thanks in advance!

[@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.

Excellent tutorial, keep up the great work

Thanks a lot!

Amazing video. So well done. My only tiny gripe is the unrealistic idea in 1.0 that you can get all these materials by day 28. Steel now takes lvl 60 in workbenches. So unless I am missing something here, good luck getting these crafting stations and resources in time.

[@WaywardEko]

You can absolutely get the materials. The crucible is sold very often at the trader for 15k dukes. That said, once you combo up w/ some enforcer glasses, sugar butts, .44 book for 5% barter, awesome sauce ... you can get it down to around 9k dukes. That is the best route.

I snickered at 19:54 when the blocks fell from under him. 😂

[@WaywardEko]

We've all done it :)

[@TexasSpartan099]

@@WaywardEko agreed. But I really enjoyed the walk through. Great base bud

[@sodone4593]

*Cries in steelless* This is so helpful though! What an amazing and tough base! I'm on my way to day 21 now! LFG!! 😂

[@WaywardEko]

Get it!

[@Ova-bv4os]

scaffolding block rather than baluster might be better as it allows you to shoot and strike through, but completely blocks cop vomit unless you shoot straight down the barrell which they never have for me so far

[@WaywardEko]

Completely valid option!
