Simple Yet effective Early Game Horde Night BASE - 7 Days To Die

Let's check this one out :)

😃

I just saw your poll on do you still enjoy the videos. I will say videos like these are more why I'm subscribed but to be honest maybe try and branch out to other more popular games if you want to keep growing your channel. 7 days to die is a great game, but doesn't have the massive audience and player base that bigger games do... untapped market right there for you in my opinion. great vid!

I’m gonna try this base 👍🏽

I really like those informative videos. I enjoy the game but i got a problem. I get 0 zombiespawns at all. Dosent matter what i do -.-. Keep up the spirit.

This was a lovely video. Thanks.

Can we see a base build without the creative/chest mode on??? That’s 2 Thumbs Down!!! 👎 👎

I think it is good that you show them how to build this base. verry easy and so effective
Someone gave you 2 thumbs down and I give you 10 thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks for the ideas...great video

Nice build

Simple and effective. Easy to integrate into a POI should the player wish to. WELL DONE! Had to check if I was on the right channel because you didn't set yourself on fire ;)

With all that snow you're never going to run out of water

Very cool!

I really like this build. The one thing I would do different is the pillars. Instead of one pillar I use a 2x2 area and put a pole in the inside corners. Uses the same space, but 4x stronger. Can't remember who I got the idea from. I watch a lot of you guys.

Good one. Thanks for inspiration.

I will have to give this build a try, very cool!

Realistically by day 5 you won't have had 300 let alone 500 cobblestone blocks. But it's a cool base.

looks good for the first or 2nd horde night, but as soon as zombie dogs and bears/animals start showing up on horde nights, this wont work.(they can't go up ladders) You would need to have ramps or stairs leading to the top by that point, so that they can path up. Plus, ramps and stairs don't cause as much pathing issues as ladders do, but cost a lot more blocks to get to the same height. So maybe don't build quite this high up. In my experience, anything more than 7 or 8 blocks above ground level is unnecessary and makes no real difference.

I didn't know about the pillar 1 block below trick. I'll have to play around with that :)

pit of death

Just curious, what would be the plan if you had dogs?

dogs exist and this is extremely resource intensive for a beginner base. there are better designs. I do like the buried supports

Instead of putting a block above the zombies to prevent them stacking, its generally a better idea with this style of base to make the wall there 4 blocks tall and then a small overhang. by preventing them from stacking in a standing state, you force them to crawl to stack instead, which can force them through your little window setup. You may also be better off having the funneling pathway be in line with the window so that when you fire into the crowd, missed shots at zombies in the window are more likely to connect with a zombie behind them, having the pathway off to the side means your shot can only potentially hit the ones that happen to be at the top of the ladder, rather than all of the zombies on the pathway.

How would you go about handling Dogs?

You should put a block down on the top right of the single walkway. Then put the sledge turret on it facing the opposite way. This way has a better chance to hit an knock them off. Great vid and base by the way.

Just ready to build it. After my first plan, to load it in to an existing savegame went to nothing. :)
Problem is, you sayed it is an early-game-design. But in early game, there seem to be a lack of robotic parts.

Mr Reach, I am unable to find this base download on your Discord.

same thing but turn the ladder pillar 90 degrees and put in arrow slits that give you line of sight to the ladder so you can thin them a bit on the way up.

This is really simple and cool, the only problem is when zombies fall they go into rage mode and start beating on things, usually temporarily but sometimes you need to inflict damage on them to get them out of rage mode. I didn't know about them not attacking pillars if there is a ditch built around the pillar so thank you for that info.

And here I spent 4 days full on redoing a 3 story house in full steel and turned it into a friggin Winchester mansion 2.0 when I could've just done this 🤣 I've learned, they do jump and definitely do dig the hard way.

how many hordes would this take?

Nice little horde base

sounds like the crash bandicoot music. Great video thanks for the info!!

Pretty nice base. Thanks for showing this.

Cops would destroy that

Pipe pistol.. Sure. I have all night to reload. I break those down or sell them and I never use them. I craft a pipe machine gun and save my 9mm rounds until I get a proper pistol. Which in my current play through, I have gotten a .44 on a quest rewards before I have gotten a semi-auto 9mm. Still waiting....

the new godtier fighting position block is the scaffolding ladder placed sideways

u can hit them, you can shoot them, but they cant hit,or spit on you.

double it up and you have a nice way to safely dish out the damage

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Hey......I can't get my ladder stable? I'm on PC
