I wish all TH-cam "builders" were so coherent, descriptive and articulated as you. Well edited, simple and to the point. Fucking nice. The only thing I miss is a little visual test with zombies.
So I like to keep the test of the zombies separate so the video isn't so long. Just so its just the build itself. That way its easier for me in the future if I want to look back on stuff. I try to keep it straight to the point because I don't care about the TH-cam analytics just posting video I find useful for me and if they help others its a bonus.
Great base! I'll try this for sure 🙃 I might be wrong, but I think the demolishers have a 5 block explosion that punches through walls. If that's still true, i'd dig deeper to separate my crafting area, benches and storage from the blast at least a couple more blocks. Same for the electric fences that could get destroyed quickly being that close. That section could be wider and fence posts be further from the action
@@patricklaurin7272 It can no doubt, but the walls can hold up for a few accidents through the night. But as long as you target cops and am for the demos heads when they come in. should have any issues. I haven't
I‘d create a 1 block cavity per campfire, to have it nicely tucked away. I’m not a fan of dancing around a fire just to not set myself on fire. The campfire in a cavity can also be nicely covered with a trapdoor, makes it a tiny bit more like an oven… 😏
Hey CJ. Just want to say i used this build of yours on two seperate worlds and I love it. Absolutely amazing! (Xbox) First one was my solo world where, at the start of the 11th horde night, I was level 96. I had plently of forged steel so i upgraded most of it to steel. I already had a crafting/storage base so i did the 8×8×5. Though i added two holes in the floor for storage and generator, but I put a concrete block under each just in case they thought it was a way in. I also placed two extra smg turrets just to up the efficiency of them while i repaired the fence posts. Hardly anything was damaged. Though, I have a full kit of level 6 and HP ammo for sniper and m60. Second one was another world that I host for two others while our usual host isn't online. This one was concrete in the vunerable parts and cobblestone elsewhere, but again it was 8×8×5 because we had a house we already set up in. This was for day 7 but with 120 minute days and boosted exp, so by the time that came around I was level 45-50. I couldnt make traps though and could only find 1 smg and 4 fence posts. The other two players were well under my level because I grinded for the base materials when they were offline. This base took more damage than the steel version but mostly because a couple cops exploded, and with only two sets of fence posts, many zombies were reaching the hatches. Also we didnt have much ammo. Not a single block was broken. I was repairing the railings mid battle just in case but it wasnt even needed. Sorry this part was long but i just wanted to share that this is a fantastic base design. And you get to kill every single zombie. Previously i had a super simple base, that never failed, but it used spike traps that dont net you exp, and was expensive to repair and re-setup. Thank you!
above the hatches, put a quarter block so that if they stack up or what have you they won't try to crawl over, if they make it that far.maybe put a motion sensor behind the kill position to activate the traps so you don't have to worry about the switches... just gota watch for cop spit if you are sitting there. speaking of.. if cop runs over top it may try to spit through the bars above. not sure if that's a thing now but i'm pretty sure i've had it happen to me before.
I don't have any SMG/Shotgun Turrets right now but I don't think they set off the Demo buttons, as far as I know the other turrets (robotic turret) do though. I may have to load into a test world and try them out again.
I really don't get why people have a crafting base and a separate hoard base the whole point is to not die and if you do the hoard night is basically over. Why not have everything in one spot?
Exactly and if they are worried and have to make them separate I feel like there not confident in there base. If they don't trust it. I'm not going to either
@@nema151 Exactly. I made a livestream on the 12x12x7 it doesn't have the crafting base below it though it can be added. But I wanted to go ahead and get it built for anyone who cranks up the maximum zombie blood moon count to 64.
I am using your previous version in two different play-throughs and while it absolutely works like a charm on my solo play-through, the version I have with 2 friends is having one main issue that I cannot figure out. For whatever reason, during bloodmoons the majority of the zombies stand over the "vulture hole" (for lack of a better term) and obviously if they are not killed as fast as possible, they eventually break through. I see no differences in pathing from your base to either of mine and while my solo version works as expected, the one with my friends is nearly unmanageable.
Turrets won't trigger demos, only the junk turrets will. Exploding cops however could set demos off and also other zeds punching the button if they're too cramped together. 😉
I'm approaching day 21 and tossing up whether to start building a beautiful underground base like yours, or an above ground horde base. My only problem with the underground base is that if things go wrong, I have no way to run away and escape
You can always create a tunnel underground outwards if you'd like. But as long as you have some ammo and electric fences it'll hold up. If your playing with bloodmoon zombies count 64 you'll need to build a 12x12
I’m still getting a zombie or two glitching down to the lower level even after double blocking the floor. So what I’ve done now is moved the crafting area behind me and have two double vault doors in between the fighting area and the crafting room and filled the rest of the lower level with blocks. Not sure why I’m having that issue. Otherwise the base works great 😊
I had the same issue with the 1st version. Eventuall I just took all my benches and my forge outta there and threw them in a smaller base I made above ground behind the bunker. All I keep down there now is some steel storage crates and campfire. Now during horde, I just leave the hatch open and jump down there periodically to kill whatever has glitched through the floor.
@@fearsbecomephobias2129 This is interesting. Do yall place the forges in the same spots as I do. I'm curious if the placement of the crafting stuff is whats making the difference

No, I had my benches arranged differently cause I don't really like to have my stuff all bunched together like that. Now that I'm really looking at it though, I bet you're not getting any glitched zombies down there because of how you have everything so tightly packed together. 🤔
Hey CJ. Great build. I’ve upgraded my base from your V1 to this one. I’m having an issue though. I built it exactly to spec as you did in the vid, yet when the zombies drop down they IMMEDIATELY target and punch the back left corner. It’s all concrete. Every zed does. And that back area of the shooting gallery (that has both ladders) is a “safe spot” from the fence posts. Why would that specific spot be targeted?
@@Syndrum For some reason the 2 forges directly below the spot where the whole is open at will stop them from glitching through. The forges create a bedrock connection, but also they do something that blocks can not. Glitch on dev's side, but the forges are a work around
@@superezbz Well if you have the Blood Moon count to 64 you'll need a 12x12 if you are at 24 or less the 8x8. I still never got overran by the zombies. Why need a way out if you can talk em. If you don't have the ammo then you didn't prepare. You can always create an escape way, but I'm not there no need for me. Zombies go in the hole they die in the hole
I would love to see somebody put their money where their mouth is and create a survivable crafting base that's separate from their horde base. Exactly how does that work unless you play on the easiest difficulty? Crafting is 90% of the enemy heat you generate.
Can you elaborate please? Because I use this base for everything and have never had a problem and I'm on max settings solo. When I play with groups I make it a 12x12 and a much bigger crafting base and it still holds easy to zombies.
Well, you have to add some disclaimers: 1. does not work for gamestage > 150, since demolishers very quickly damage that little kabuff in mere seconds 2. does not work for any settings other than vanilla beginners, since that little kabuff gets quickly overrun even by zombies below gamestage 150 3. does not work for any PC below top level performance rating, since with dropping FPS, the fire rates drops, too, and you get overrun even earlier in the game 4. If you dare to set the number of "bloodmoon count" (former "max alive") to bigger than 32, you get overrun even by beginner hordes, since the kabuff is much too small to accommodate them at ones, thus they will dig in from multiple directions at ones in mere minutes. Fazit: It's an interesting "easy game beginners base" idea. BUT then the question arises from where the concrete material should come. If you build that from wood or cobblestone, that base is even more brittle and will crumble even faster.

@@CJMINDMATTERyou have no video of how this base works against a horde at all on your channel.
@@lalalajuice its v1 test horde. v2 only uses less different shapes
Interesting base concept, I'd enjoy seeing it in action.
I have some test horde bases it holds the exact same as the v1 test.
This is way different than any base I’ve tried so far. I’ve only tried staircase/drop bases so far. Definitely going to give this a shot!
Hope you enjoy it Let me know how you like it after you make one.

They can but the demos shouldn't be exploding. Turrets don't set them off. and the electric fence will stun them so you can get a easy headshot
@@CJMINDMATTER just thinking of unfortunate accidents. Cops blowing up can trigger demos as well. Never had that happen yet though 😅

I stand back most of the time and only step forward for the vulture kills
Nice design, think I will try it. Did you try placing blade traps in the middle where the Zs fall down?
Yes I did. Blade traps just seem to be to expensive for me to use, but feel free

@@zombyslayrgaming Thank you I was curious, but didn't get around to testing it. This is good news
Thank you I didn't know, the dev's change settings sometimes and I can never remember

Awesome base,the big hole for the Zs could be close by a gate when you are out.
They could, but when you have your turrets setup you can keep the turrets on to blast

It does still work. keep it if you like it. I just changed to the v2 for simplicity on the shape types.
I would definitely have a separate escape hatch in case they break through.
