It won't win any beauty contests but it works really well :) CHECK OUT our latest 80+ Beginner Base Tips video which contains some more information on multiple shapes, rage mechanics, among many other things! th-cam.com/video/axnzB-CdVFQ/w-d-xo.html
I am really excited to see your great videos. I really like how informative, if not scientific, you present the results of your hours of experimentation for us. You provide a lot of information briefly and concisely, you explain the background in detail and present everything with a nice in-game camera perspective. The music and video editing are well chosen and support the content in an entertaining yet straightforward way. Thank you!
You are the MOST useful 7d2d youtuber there is. All the others just feel like streams running around playing the game. If I wanted to watch someone playing the game, I would play the game and watch myself play it. You provide tested, and useful information that make it possible for others to understand the game mechanics and block structures. It's CRIMINAL how few people are Subbed to you, and I hope that this changes quickly. Sub folks and share. This content creator provides us with actual useful content. I've used his designs before and they have NOT failed me. I broke one of them simply due to game stage and having 5 additional people inside the base when it was designed for 2. Every design I've used from this creator has held up exactly as tested. Keep the content coming and let's get this man greater exposure.
The time and brain invested in this videos is remarkable! Top quality material mate, love your vids. Keep helping us to endure the wasteland. Going to make this as a the last resource if my base failed like the last horde, i had to run like a bit$%!! Thank you.
In your last video you showed the new 4 way block for drooping and blocking zombies. I found a good way to use that block. To maximize melee ease (especially with groups) you can pair it with the ramp block. if you face the slope of two ramp blocks towards each other so they make a V you can lower yourself to make melee much easier. Face two of the pole 4 ways (+) on one side of the V with a narrow way for zombies to get to the + fighting position then melee fighters can dip down into the V and get very close for some great mid to lower body melee or just dogs and crawlers. I pair this with full blocks behind the V on the opposite side from the + with full blocks topper with pole plates. You can add pole plate half on top of the rear ramp to give a closer position for the shooter or shooters. The ramp blocks seem to stop Cop sighting at least in my testing. The back of the V next to the full blocks with pole plates doesn't strictly need to be a ramp other blocks work even full blocks but it's easier to get into and looks cooler. If that doesn't make sense I can show you in my test world if needed or through pictures or a video.
11:04 You probably could use lighter blocks (wood instead of beton) for the los-blocking blocks like on the floor and back of the resting area so the base won't collapse and save 4 blocks of these support tubes. Also, do you really need 1x2x2 area to stay afk? With 1x1x2 standing area you'll save another 8 blocks, right?
You are correct! There are probably some ways to reduce the mass with lighter blocks and do a smaller standing area. I think you could get under 40 blocks if you were to do that.
Used the setup from one of your previous videos on the pole 4-way, and it worked quite well! Though, I did forget I had a modlet to add the behemoths in that were scrapped in A16/A17, so that threw a wrench in my plans. It still held up despite only being 50/50 cobblestone and concrete, but my buddy and I went through a LOT of ammo. Next horde, it will be reinforced steel, and I'll have a path in the middle of the roof for the behemoths to fit. Should work nicely :) Thanks for this awesome content!
I’ve tested three variants of this you showed in the a previous video about the shapes in 1.0. I’ve had good success up until the higher higher game stages. But it still kept me alive. It was just cobblestone so I wasn’t expecting it to work as good as it did. This is awesome. I can’t wait to try it out. I’m gonna find a way to actually do some fighting though.
I'm happy that the designs have worked out for you and have inspired you to do some of your own testing! You can certainly adapt this design for a fighting base. A couple ideas that I just gave to another viewer is to either remove the front blocks so you can shoot at them as they come over the slide. Another idea would be to use the design as a dropper and have them fall into a pit so you can shoot/grenade the hell out of them.
There is one drawback to the ramp 6m 03: It is harder to traverse as a player than the wedge narrow of the 4-block series. So if your AFK loop is also your main entrance (and why wouldn't it), you have a harder time running that path yourself.
That is a trade off with the wedge narrow vs the the ramp 6m 03. It is steeper and more efficient at dropping zombies at the cost of doubling as a viable entrance.
That is elegant. Though there is two issues: Forest biome cities cannot have tier 4 or 5 buildings which means there is barely any three+ storie buildings in the forest city which means to find a decently tall building one might have to go into any other biome which means much higher gamestage which can be problematic early on. Second issue is performance. Forest horde bases are much more suited for not so good PCs because there is barely anything to calculate other than zombies, but doing a 64 max spawns in a city might be painful. But other than that it is genuinely genius and I might build something like this with the exception that I want to rain down explosive arrows down to where zombies fall.
An easy enough solution is to just build a simple tower that has the zombies run long enough they exit rage mode and fall at least 11-12 blocks before hitting the ground. Yes it will use more materials, but is a simple issue to solve. The overall design doesn't change.
Forest might be a bit trickier to find a suitable building though early game, a 1 or 2 story POI is perfectly suitable. I think the first reply you got is certainly doable if you would rather build your own simple tower in the middle of nowhere. More materials, but it would still be rather simple. Speaking of middle of nowhere, some ranger stations are rather tall so that could also be a potential build site.
@@d4cto It might be a bit tricker as some of the ranger station stairs are broken so it would require some repair work and reinforcement. But it would save you a lot of time and resources in the long run from making your own tower.
Fire station 3 should work for this (remove the roof of the bell tower and build on top of that) and if you build a way up to the roof on that side of the building you can separate it from the rest of the building so you can still use it as a crafting base. you just have to replace the spiral stairs from the ground floor to the first floor so the dire wolves can get up
The secret is to not leave any kind of edge for them to collide with. Any block that flushes up with the edge of the slide blocks would probably work... even more slide blocks. Also, I feel like outside of debug mode, this base would want to have a slightly more accessible entrance point. A single hatch surrounded by spikes that you have to destroy every morning seems kind of inefficient.
Edges, sharp corners and contours are the zombie kryptonite. I am not sure if you noticed, but when I did the last horde at the end, I didn't cover the entire roof with spikes as I regretted that decision. It wasn't shown but for the first horde test, i entered the base not in god mode and lost nearly half my health :D But yeah, you definitely don't need to cover the entire roof so you can leave yourself a way to get out.
I built this style base 'between' two buildings :) with the small cornered pole to connect across to the other building for extra support. They stopped attacking the main building under the path as much also. Possibly because they didn't see it as a 'support' anymore? not sure.
When constructing a base, I always try to account for those pesky animals :D The trick is to give them a viable path so a ladder only type of build will absolutely fail when confronted with them.
You sure could! You could open up the front to allow you to shoot through at zombies coming down the slide. Another thing you could do is drop zombies into a pit using this design so you could shoot at them and throw grenades/molotovs. Welcome to the game!
2:18 I was doing a horde night yesterday and there were cops spitting at me with no line of sight. My base has walls a full block wide. Maybe it has changed or maybe there was something else at play but I could not see them and the spit was coming from the side of the base where the wall is.
Full cube blocks will prevent cop spit. If they are spitting, there is something wrong with the setup. It is funny you bring this topic up, as our next 7DTD video dives into this topic ;)
It would work extraordinarily well as a zombie dropper into a pit. I've done similar designs in the past using wedge narrow blocks but these would be a worthy replacement.
It is really all about personal preference. Some people like to cheese the horde so this is the base for them. You can check out our tips video if you haven't seen it before for some other ideas: th-cam.com/video/axnzB-CdVFQ/w-d-xo.html
We all know that zombie cops are horrible because they spit But now we know that this base is awesome because it swallows everything Yeah, I'll just show myself out now. Sorry
for building off the sides of building I like Olgiddy & Brother Advertising (city_center_01) when I can find it. It is "3 stories" (each floor is about 1 meter taller) and there is a long easy path to the top so they will run out of rage mode before they get back
Loved it! I would appreciate, because I'm not very good at spatial relationships, a breakdown of exactly what blocks to use, and how to place them to make that last one you built. I don't really use AFK bases, but I want to try that one with some spiciness added.
The blocks are are color coded. So for the final version at the end of the video, red is cube 1/2, purple is cube, pink is ramp 6m 03, and blue was ramp 6m 02 but I replaced those with cube 1/2, same as red. Hope that helps!
@@pseudoposse don't mind me , just replying so I can save this comment for later. Thanks for the great build guide! P.s., would you consider writing up a design doc, i.e. a pdf or something? Video is sometimes hard to parse while playing.
Welcome to the game! You only get experience if you directly kill zombies or you have perked into Advanced Engineering under intelligence in which case electric traps can net you a percentage of experience from a trap kill.
since all players have access to a cheat menu and very customizable game settings / mods, it was always unclear to me why people are so attracted to cheese builds. Its also weird that the Fun Pimps are so determined to fix all of these broken loop behaviors every time they add a new block type. what is the point? If you don't enjoy them, you can just turn off blood moons entirely / make them less frequent. seems to me like a pointless battle neither side should be fighting so hard for. :) Edit: well, i kinda get it... finding exploits as a player is fun, and watching them in viral videos as a dev may be frustrating/embarrassing. also, i watched and commented on this video, so i guess talking about this is interesting, even if my previous points are valid.
For me you hit the nail on the head where you said it is fun to find the exploits. I love doing all the testing, and optimizing to find the perfect cheese base which is an enjoyable process to me. When I actually play, I prefer to fight the horde but everyone has different tastes which the game fortunately allows. The Fun Pimps have nerfed some blocks into the ground before but there are plenty they haven't.
@@pseudoposse just curious, during actual play, how often if at all are u using the cheat menu / game settings / balance altering mods? do you make the game easier / harder / both, regarding different aspects? or is it mostly default vanilla for a first run on a new update?
@@pseudoposse I only use cheat mode to fix / recover from bugs, but i do heavily mess with game settings and add various mods, to a point where i`m no longer sure it is fair to say i play the same game as default vanilla 7d2d. :) but i play solo and make my own fun. Its really great we all have the options to fine tune the experience to our own taste.
@@sinkler123 When actually playing, I don't like to use the cheat menu. An exception would be, especially if recording for YT, giving myself a helmet light mod if it takes too long to find one naturally so people can see what is going on. As for mods, I do like to play vanilla when an update comes out but then I do add mods for more variety and difficulty.
Could be the support from the wall you are building off from is not fully supported. Or there is something that is incorrect in the way you are building. If you are at least using cobblestone, the structure should hold. Don't forget the pillar horizontal supports on the side.
Ok so I am getting my ass handed to me, I have no clue what I am doing wrong. I even added push back turrets to my horde base and still get owned. I have those big guys that explode and then no more path and they end up beating the place where I am at. The structure end up breaking apart and then I am on the ground floor over flooded with Zs. Do you any build I can follow step by step in the making for noob like me, and maybe that would help new players also. Cheers !
The final 45 block build is color coded. Purple is full cube block, pink is ramp 6m 03. Red is the half cube, blue was ramp 6m 02 but I swapped those out for half cubes as well. I have yellow pillar 0.05m shapes connecting from POI to the full cube. All the steps shown in the video apply to the final build. In the future, we can make it more noob friendly. Hope that helps!
I just checked and I still see it in the shape menu. Make sure when you type in the name of the block in the search filter, that you aren't accidentally focusing on a specific block shape category.
I love your vids and this base, but I absolutely hate your youtuber-y presence. I'm not gonna smash any buttons. The music choice was really campy too.
You don't need the wedge 'dropper' Just using half blocks for the entire thing will work just fine. As long as the part of the half block they stand on is occupied by any other half width block, you're fine. Shape doesn't matter. Never has. Here you go.
It won't win any beauty contests but it works really well :)

Oh perfect. Gonna use this for when SHTF. More of a place I’ll retreat to if my fighting base fails.

Looks great! Though I'm curious, won't the zombies go into rage mode after the slide drop?
Nope! It is suitably high enough and far away from the player that they won't enter rage mode.

@@pseudoposse I only use cheat mode to fix / recover from bugs, but i do heavily mess with game settings and add various mods, to a point where i`m no longer sure it is fair to say i play the same game as default vanilla 7d2d. :) but i play solo and make my own fun. Its really great we all have the options to fine tune the experience to our own taste.
@@sinkler123 When actually playing, I don't like to use the cheat menu. An exception would be, especially if recording for YT, giving myself a helmet light mod if it takes too long to find one naturally so people can see what is going on.
As for mods, I do like to play vanilla when an update comes out but then I do add mods for more variety and difficulty.
Did TFPs patch this out? My Zs eill not run across it.
I think so i tried to build this 4x and unfortunately this design was not functioning for me..
ive tried to build this like four times and it keeps collapsing for some reason
Could be the support from the wall you are building off from is not fully supported. Or there is something that is incorrect in the way you are building. If you are at least using cobblestone, the structure should hold. Don't forget the pillar horizontal supports on the side.
Ok so I am getting my ass handed to me, I have no clue what I am doing wrong. I even added push back turrets to my horde base and still get owned. I have those big guys that explode and then no more path and they end up beating the place where I am at. The structure end up breaking apart and then I am on the ground floor over flooded with Zs. Do you any build I can follow step by step in the making for noob like me, and maybe that would help new players also. Cheers !
The final 45 block build is color coded. Purple is full cube block, pink is ramp 6m 03. Red is the half cube, blue was ramp 6m 02 but I swapped those out for half cubes as well. I have yellow pillar 0.05m shapes connecting from POI to the full cube.
All the steps shown in the video apply to the final build. In the future, we can make it more noob friendly. Hope that helps!
Will the zombies die from fall damage?
After multiple drops, it is possible though radiated zombies do recover hitpoints so you likely wouldn't kill them.
@@pseudoposse Ahh I see. We can build it hiiiigher.
@@LLAAPPSSEE You can build higher but fall damage is capped so after a certain height, you won't get any benefit from being higher.
cant find the Ramp 6m 03 in game? any idea why?
I just checked and I still see it in the shape menu. Make sure when you type in the name of the block in the search filter, that you aren't accidentally focusing on a specific block shape category.

I love your vids and this base, but I absolutely hate your youtuber-y presence. I'm not gonna smash any buttons. The music choice was really campy too.
Thanks for the feedback.
Where is the fun ?
The fun is in all the testing for me at least
You don't need the wedge 'dropper' Just using half blocks for the entire thing will work just fine. As long as the part of the half block they stand on is occupied by any other half width block, you're fine. Shape doesn't matter. Never has. Here you go.
I'll have to give that a try, thanks for the suggestion :)
