Staying in the circle is almost impossible in the late game on Warrior while doing LvL 3 mission. Solo is a different story but in a group of players the difference is quite stark in survivability. I will try to record a video of what exactly is going on. Zombies are quite spammy sometimes.
I always build a 2x2x3 block of wood or concrete cobblestone with ladders for access when I do higher level dig quests. This prevents me from leaving the circle when the going gets tough.
And in our co-op group of 4 we always have at least 2, often 3 dedicated to killing zombies while 1 or 2 are digging. I.e. often only the miner digs which is fast enough. And depending on situation digging stops until a zombie wave got cleared. Especially when opening the chest we clear zombies afterwards, and only then the next one opens the chest.
Especially because of the block as a safe place we can even do high level dig quests with a mix of shooting and melee and no danger of leaving the circle. Any gun and melee weapon has its use in this scenario, headshots are no problem
