AlyssaFaden Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 So we're nearing our Day 56 horde, and our base currently consists of: POI bunker in the middle of nowhere .... distant POI house, which had a workbench, so we took it over an dput a garden there. And in the middle your standard: tower, cage, ramp, blades of death, sea of spikes, electricity wire goodness, omgisthatadartinmyhead traps. Everything is pretty peachy. Come horde day we sit in the elevated cage and shoot the ♥♥♥♥ens out of anything outside of the cage to the fine harmonious tune of shotgun turrets losing their sh*t. Life is good. But we're thinking: what next? Come this horde, we're going to be thinking about the next evolution of the base, and we're thinking about making it a military-like complex with outer wall, turrets, gun emplacements, etc. Come horde night, we might just open the outer doors and let the mob come on in for the central defenses to take over, but what about between hordes ... random groups of Zs, wandering Zs, or pesky screamers ... what's a good defense/wall against these guys to avoid just having sh*t wailed on until it breaks? (we noticed that screamers spawn on the other side of the garden, for example, bash through the wall there, then bash through the wall again to get back out ... they don't just walk around). Any block shapes, combinations, moats, overhangs, or traps that would be good to keep the perimeter safe from random damage and breeches? - - - Updated - - - edit: "shooting the d!ckens out of things" ... oh you censor you. Apparently having a certain name is too touchy touchy for this modern world. Dearieme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kattla Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Barbed wire fence in front of a square block (wall) is good for stopping, but not killing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal Deluxe Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Maybe have a look in this test https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?100324-A17e-B221-Gamestage-300-Blockdamage-Testrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a regular full block and the barbed wire ON the block or a barbed wire fence placed in front of the block? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kattla Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Like a regular full block and the barbed wire ON the block or a barbed wire fence placed in front of the block? In front. Personally i would just use turrets, or triggered bladetraps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal Deluxe Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Well both combined is nice too. Except you are so stupid and set the horde to X64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jugginator Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 This setup works like a charm for me on high-spawn settings on Survivalist. Been barely touched every horde night through day 48. The iron spikes stack so nicely it's sexy. https://ibb.co/Xb8zx3W https://ibb.co/nQ6LZnq https://ibb.co/dL4dPGz Excuse the bad graphics lol.

AlyssaFaden Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 That's pretty close (ish) to our core turret defense we horde-night defend on. I'm looking for a huuuuuuge perimeter wall encapsulating the three locations: 2xPOIs and center turret defense. Not sure I could do what you have there for 1000 blocks of wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've found defending huge bases / etc is not worth the effort until you've reached end game with mass resources for that reason. You can try wood spikes, they don't stack as nicely but you can make up for it with extended coverage. Maybe encourage funneling to a couple choke points?
