Ray Garraty Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 In A20 horde bases, I would stretch the electric fence wire directly above the floor block to stun crawlers, dogs, and other low-profile creatures (see the schematics image attached). In A21 however this doesn't seem to work anymore. Is this a bug or a feature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theFlu Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Likely a bug.. the electrified line is now going basically on the exact top of that solid block. None of the zeds will collide on it as it's the same as it was in the floor. To get it to go through a middle of a block like before, install the poles horizontally for now. Or make a diagonal line of it - raise one pole up, but not the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbluebeer Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 use a half block? either for the floor, or the posts dunno yet. (not quite ready to make the base to use those... yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Garraty Posted July 18, 2023 Author Share Posted July 18, 2023 Well I tried to fight Day 7 horde in a winter biome without them, but to my great surprise cops showed up and wrecked my wooden-cobblestone starter base. That was totally unexpected for day 7... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seagas Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 The wire seems to come out of the fence lower than in previous Alphas. It use to come out about a half block above the floor, now it's almost even. Running the fence post horizontal isn't always an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranded_Napkin Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Yeah, I ran into this my first horde night. I just ended up raising the fences up 1 block. Building the pathway out of half blocks would work as well. All depends on how your base is set up and what you'd prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you push hard at leveling, you will end up kicking yourself in the ass by having hordes harder than what you have resources for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syphon583 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) So I just started using electric fences for the first time in A21 and I haven't had any issues. I didn't put in blocks to catch the low-profile zombies like dogs and spiders (though crawlers still get through unscathed). It's not a bug. From what I understand the change in wire placement was intentional so that it would catch the shorter variety as well, again, except for crawlers. Do we really the fence to stop them though? 😆 Edited July 28, 2023 by Syphon583 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenLim Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) Yes had the same issue. However now (A21) with vertical pole it's already catching spider and dog, so no need to "bury" it 1 block lower. Edit: Just like Syphon583 said. It does not catch crawler (or those with no legs). Edit2: Adding half-block will catch all (on vertical pole). Edited July 28, 2023 by SenLim (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It´s the gamestage that defines what will spawn during horde. You will get demos very early aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
