Top 10 Horde Bases of Alpha 20 - 7 Days to Die

[@WaywardEko]

Hello Folks! This was so much fun to pull together and look back through builds over the past couple of years. Hope you enjoyed my A20 bases!

[@arcmancer7793]

Whoa some sick base designs

[@brianhoff4991]

Your builds look so detailed and well designed. I think the devs have found a new POI creator. I never thought I was terrible at building but these make me jealous for your creative skill.

[@WaywardEko]

Thanks kindly Brian!! Honestly it's just getting in and spending the time playing around. Take a basic concept and start building on it ... beg borrow and steal and other's brilliant but put your own twist!

[@andreas.grundler]

These bases are absolutely gorgeous. I hope some of the developers see this video.

[@WaywardEko]

Thanks Andreas! One of them already commented :)

[@heeb97]

and here I am, making a square block base and call it a day 🤣 these bases are very inspiring

[@WaywardEko]

Nothing wrong with a square block if it works!

[@ShakaTechie]

Awesome builds! I especially like the one you built in the mountain. That motorcycle exit with the mountain view openings was the chef's kiss...😅

[@WaywardEko]

Thanks so much Laz!!! There was soooooo much auger action on that build.

[@blackknight9156]

I built a massive castle in my current world, and I could not be happier with it. I had always built bases with function being almost the prime design concern, but I decided to mix it up recently. While it may be substantially harder to defend, I will take a good looking base over the most efficient design any day.

[@WaywardEko]

I'm a huge form over function designer ... as evidence by my bases being a little overkill :)

[@TheYfdsdff]

you deserve more subs man, these are a lot of work.

[@WaywardEko]

Thanks so much for that!!

[@rasmusnobel4448]

Great work dude. Love the creativity!

[@WaywardEko]

Thank you so much!

[@RookieEyes22]

Great build portfolio Eko! I loved seeing them all again. Frosthaven was the first of your builds I saw and was what actually led me to join your community =)

[@WaywardEko]

Awww ... that is still one of my favorites because of how it looked in the landscape.

[@prop6648]

this video is amazing, there are not much 7days videos out there that are good but this is insane

[@WaywardEko]

Thanks kindly!!

[@ethangarofolo8170]

Stunning builds! Well done!

[@WaywardEko]

Thanks Ethan!!!!

[@satiivaindiica]

I find inspiration for my own base designs In these types of videos.

[@WaywardEko]

Love hearing that!!

[@myview5840]

Puts my 6 x 8 wood shack to shame, cheers mate 😂😂😂

[@Tazman345]

wow!!!!! taken base building to an artist level!!!

[@WaywardEko]

Thanks so much!

[@Bigmanfire]

this is the 1st video of yours that i am seeing. Needless to say, i am now a sub! And i have to say, your building skills are amazing! wow!

[@WaywardEko]

Thanks so much for that! Glad you enjoyed!

[@Viktir123]

Those dragon heads were cool.

[@WaywardEko]

Thanks so much ... I lost some sanity making those!

[@MortenWill]

Some of these bases could use a A21 refresh. I could see "Horde Night with Eko and Friends" becoming a hit series

[@WaywardEko]

I can't wait to get my hands on the new blocks and do some makeovers! Likely I'll build a load of new bases, but I have every intention of bringing these over to A21 and also building a massive test world with all the bases in it.

[@awoocow6026]

you are an amazing gamer thanks for sharing these builds with us!!! youve totally impressed me!!!

[@WaywardEko]

Thank you so much!!

[@JayBartlett1975]

Wow! Amazing work

Thanks so much!!

Was good seeing some of the classics

[@WaywardEko]

Thanks Shak!! You should come back and join us for A21!

[@Shaknor]

@@WaywardEko i finally got a new rig so i may try too

[@leechee5721]

You are probably the reason why the added plenty of new Block design to give free rein to creativity

[@WaywardEko]

I'm ok with that!

[@zechtt2735]

nice i just started playing the game, do you have vids on how to make this awesome bases?

[@WaywardEko]

The effort to make a video on these huge bases is tooooo crazy. I wish I could. If you check the description I have individual videos on each of these vids that talk about some of the design elements. I also have all of them available for download on my Patreon - www.patreon.com/waywardeko

[@ckmodele]

I aapire to express this level of creativity ❤

[@WaywardEko]

Thanks so much!! You can do it!! Each time you do a new build, pick 5 new blocks that you MUST use .... keep doing that each time.

[@jebatkapat]

Desert Panda is so good looking, I have enough resources to build I think and I will

[@WaywardEko]

DO IT!

[@Djani1986]

Impresionante, enhorabuena!

[@ZombiePicnic]

Very impressive designs! I want A21 already! 😫

[@WaywardEko]

Me too!!

[@trishlynn8075]

I can’t wait for cross play would love to build something similar to hogwarts giant functional base using many blocks

[@WaywardEko]

I'm also excited for crossplay!! Will bring a lot of players together!

[@richard_bo]

Are these downloadable? It would be fun to be able to generate a map with 2-3 of these bases hidden across the map.

[@WaywardEko]

All of these are available for download via my Patreon: www.patreon.com/waywardeko

[@grim115reaper2]

Is it better to dig down to bedrock for the best foundation support ? Because I still have issues of the zombies digging under my base.

[@WaywardEko]

I never do that ... I usually just make sure I go a few blocks down for key support areas. Sadly there is no way to completely stop the random digging.

[@grim115reaper2]

@@WaywardEko Alrighty thank you. But seriously how long does it take you to build these bases it’s bonkers how beautifully designed it is 😅

[@WaywardEko]

It depends on if it's in survival or creative ... Survival I usually build over 2-3 weeks playing off and on. The creative ones can take me 20-30 hrs of play time to design and then another 5-10 hrs to test. All depends on the level of complexity. Bloodmoon Keep that I did for A21 release took almost 80 hrs.

[@brunokruel9439]

is there a place where can we download theses bases? wold be so much aprecciated :D

@@WaywardEko hahahaha!

[@Globeguy1337]

Dang - I’m building a MUCH less impressive community base and I’m even struggling with that - which makes yours look that much more impressive to me.

[@WaywardEko]

It gets easier the more you do it!

[@Globeguy1337]

@@WaywardEko Guess I’ll have to get back to work, then lol. Just in case it’s of interest, Ever work with secret passages and hidden entrances? What I’m struggling with right now is that I want to make a hidden vault in or under the base (mostly just for RP purposes and the fun of having a secret space in the community area, but also to hide away certain things). The base is an above-ground, castle-themed base built on a cliffside (so it can passively drop incoming zombies off the cliff as a low-cost defense mechanism), so just having a tunnel just branch out from a wall underground isn’t really viable. I’m thinking of using duct and plate parts to make hollow passages in the walls (1-2 block thick to make it less obvious), but entrances are tough - ‘decorative’ duct and vents over furnaces/campfires, AC vents, or Joel-type fireplaces are all I can think of and even those I’m not sure how to best implement. A replaceable sheet with a hole in the wall seems too obvious since its HP will be obviously too low if it’s ever hit at all… unless it was elevated at the end of a disguised obstacle climb?… I just found your channel pretty recently (from Prebuilt praising your base designs), so I don’t know if you’ve already done something like this - just seems like it might be interesting, and while I’ve never been on a PVP-heavy server so I’m not sure how things go there, it seems it might even preserve some valuables from looting.

[@keayedplaysgamez843]

Hey Eko. Question for you. I'm attempting to construct a horde base utilizing a Ranger Station. Looking for insight into how to fortify it 100 fold while also making it's footprint 3x the size of what it is initially. I've been trying to learn more and more on how to use blocks and to change the shapes and rotations, but having issues (I think I'm dumb haha). I have an idea of what I want it to be, but not entirely sure if how to put it into practicality. Could you assist?

[@WaywardEko]

For block rotations, hold down 'R' to bring up the radial menu. That gives access to all the shape and advance rotations.

[@tmdwu3110]

Were any of these built in survival mode?

[@WaywardEko]

Half of them were. If you watch the beginning it calls out if they were done in prefab editor vs built on one of my community servers.

[@rav3ndawn]

Ah, the memories

[@WaywardEko]

I know right ... was crazy going back through these.

[@leukoscrux]

could be nice but my server using snufkin boss zombies even during BM so this bases could be really damaged each time from all these explosions.

[@WaywardEko]

These were all designed for vanilla.

[@heyitsscottyo]

So are you an architect?

[@WaywardEko]

hahah nope. Software Program Manager.

[@heyitsscottyo]

@WaywardEko Makes sense given the organization and albeit , defensive automation some of your bases have. I'm on the journey to learn software development myself. Maybe one day my creations will be like yours haha.

[@squeezerdsqueezerd2427]

Is this on pc or console 🤔?

[@WaywardEko]

These were all on PC - though could be done in console now.

[@kaydenteel8868]

I want to make all of them😂

[@WaywardEko]

Do it!

[@iambiggus]

Lotta ideers up here!

[@WaywardEko]

Had some fun times!

[@KianyDeketelaere]

Can I download this to ps5?

[@WaywardEko]

I don't believe any of the consoles have the prefab editor/world editor to import bases.

[@TheGrimmy]

Your prefabs make a grown man honry...

[@WaywardEko]

Ya making me blush!

[@TheGrimmy]

@@WaywardEko i hope way down the line they're included in a mod like darkness falls or something. Hopefully after Alpha 9017 or whenever the final build will be and the game is released we get a complete game that doesn't botch saves after every new update... Then those community mods will be fricken awesome :D before these new fancy POIs it was the fan mades that usually had tiers and cool scenes that told a story(usually a struggle but sometimes way more interesting). Would love to get back into the game then. For now I vicariously live through your content lol

[@WaywardEko]

Thanks kindly for that. I've talked to the devs about building an intake model for player developed POIs. Would be incredible.

[@TheGrimmy]

@@WaywardEko yeah, it would! Hopefully they take your constructive addition with an open mind. I know they'd have to have a "weeding out" system for tier 6 loot in a single room type additions but I'm sure the playerbase could flag those easy enough. No one wants loot handed to them in this type of game. Unless it's in a single room of floor to ceiling zombies lol project zomboid style lol

I have a fantastic life. I wish you peace as you seem to be in a very sad place where you need to shit on folks trying to give back to the community they love.

[@aseroxd]

Pretty clever pay-wallling your creations. Regardless of the justification or work that went into this, it's still not your intellectual property. Won't be getting a single cent from me, but I'll buy a copy of the game for a friend.

[@WaywardEko]

That's cool. I provide tons of base build vids and stuff for FREE. I host 3 servers for my community for FREE. I spend 60-80 hours a week on top of my day job to make vids. I am under no obligation to share my creations for free. I've had people ask for me to do build tutorials on these massive bases that sometimes take 40-80 hours to build and there is no way to do it. Patreon was the best method, and yes - I'm pushing to make a living off of this cause that is my passion. Hope you enjoyed the bases and take some inspiration from them!

[@keayedplaysgamez843]

I don't get why people would be rude like that. He's not saying to sub to his patreon. He's merely saying that if you want these bases, they're available here. No one is holding a gun to your head telling you to sub. Won't be getting a single cent from me... Well, you'll be getting a dislike from me every time your negative attitude is seen by me. Instead, you should've just said nice builds or something to positively reinforce his video. I bet you play solo. I can't fathom people liking you. Eko, you do you dude. I may sub to your patreon myself shortly after all this craziness at work is over. Personally, amazing job on these builds. Gives me something to strive for when it comes to my base I'm attempting to create. 10/10

How about a nice job instead of just sounding like an a$$hat?

@@keayedplaysgamez843 I will never support anyone that is profiting of off someone else's hard work, especially behind their back. Where exactly did he get permission from the developers to do this?

@@aseroxd Get permission from the devs for what? Building his own bases and uploading them for others to use??? Lol. I know of at least 4 content creators who do this and EVEN THE DEVELOPERS themselves have commented on their videos, so the developers are FULLY AWARE OF THIS and if you didn't realize that, then you are extremely blind.
