Vaeliorin Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 So, I just massively upgraded my base (from 2 blade traps, 1 electric fence and 4 dart traps to 12 blade traps, 13 electric fences and 52 dart traps) and the only real problem I found on horde night was that I ended up with a massive pile of loot bags between me and the horde, such that I could barely see the shorter zombies, and couldn't see dogs and spider zombies because of the pile. Is there any sort of floor set up I can use (in the future...it would require drilling out way too much steel to reasonable do that this point) such that the loot bags would fall through and the zombies couldn't? I've honestly never had this problem before, and I'm not really sure how to fix it (or if it can be fixed.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldranon Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Do what I do and use loot bags for walls and fuel for my campfires and forges... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12pack Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I put them all in a giant pit and swim.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanea Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 best way is to use some kind of ramp with 1 wide hole on one side ... knocked down zombies + almost all bags will fall down ( rarely some stay on top but then get knocked out of ramp by zombies /new bags + you can use 1/4 block corridor next to this pit to loot them safely zombies wont punch through concrete/steel blocks if they have meaningfull path to you On 11/27/2020 at 7:03 AM, Vaeliorin said: and 52 dart traps is there any iron left on your world?

Yeah, I know you can do something like that, I was hoping there was something I was unaware of that would let the bags fall through, but not the zombies. As to the iron...let's just say I'm on my third iron vein and I'm only on day 40 or so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbluebeer Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 52 Dart traps? heh. Amateur! I use 60. yes, it takes a LOT of iron to feed them. (btw, with a corridor and the dart traps, you don't need the blade traps) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaeliorin Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 Hey, my corridor is only 13 blocks long, I don't have room for more...though I guess I could have put another 26 in the ceiling... I just like blade traps and a couple of the blade traps are just set up to keep them away from the sides of the stairs. My gamestage 178 horde barely made it past the first set of dart traps outside of the occasional dog or spider zombie, so it's not like I really need more.

I have some on the steps up, then the corridor. Split in 2 parts. If I leave the front half on, I only get to see the occasional head pop up, and then fall over. So I keep the first 7 off mostly, until I hear the demos growl. Then it goes on. (or if I need to repair the machine gun) 52 is still a lot, and will pretty much take care of everything. (and yep, feeding them is not trivial) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn mine's only 3 blocks long and never saw a zombe getting over block 1 and I play max difficulty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have adapted the floor Vedui uses in this video to one of my previous base designs and it worked very well. I'm sure you could make it work with yours.
