Major Tom Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I'm having an issue where untouched reinforced concrete/steel blocks will randomly get 1 - 2 points of damage. Any idea what's causing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Tom Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 could be from the 2 turrets i had going. Also do zombies have an AoE swing attack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theFlu Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 As far as I know, no; I've never noticed a single zombie damaging blocks they're not actively attacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Tom Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 Thanks for the help, I appreciate the info pal. seems like a lot of blocks though to catch stray bullets.. do they really travel that far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theFlu Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 If they're reasonably in line of sight, that's what I'd assume.. of course, I have no idea how far your far is. The next time you see a trader, give his establishment a few shots from similar distance.. the ping should tell you if you're hitting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The horde base I have is on a solid foundation (no mine under it), so I'm fairly certain that isn't an issue. Will do some testing. thanks again. 1 minute ago, hiemfire said: What type of turrets?

I think they damage blocks unlike the dart traps SMG turrets have a range of 30 blocks and Shotgun Turrets have a range of 15 blocks, unless that's changed since the wiki entries last updated (I'll doublecheck here in a bit). Neither turret type is 100% accurate so stray shots can hit blocks that are within that range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My underground base (with no turrets) has a ton of reinforced concrete as well and only a few have been touched from my vehicles smashing into them, so stray turret bullets most likely is the case.

I was able to confirm that they do reach the ranges listed in the wiki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danidas Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Other things to note is that explosions not only hurt the outer layer but also can penetrate to damage the blocks under it as well. So if you have 2 block thick walls and a cop explodes next to the outer block the inner one may get damaged as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't get a cop or a demo to damage the 2nd layer if the first one was a full block. Went fine through a plate though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
