Building A Simple Melee Horde Base in 7 Days To Die 1.0 [Episode #7] 

I wish I could understand what you are saying .My brain can’t figure it out .

@nikewilly8404 That is my go to POI! I always try to find that one

Or just stand on a roof.

​@@IrradiatedMushroom Peak resource management right here

​@IrradiatedMushroom first horde night with a friend we stood on the roof of a gas station and they collapsed the whole place not even half way through the horde night

@@crazedfella4791 Yea, bad building choice, a multi storey house or something made of concrete should do fine. That is also if you're playing on default. Also 2 player makes the game slightly harder, like it's just part of the code, so yea a base might've been better but the Firehouses are go to buildings.

yes

Well i have over 2800 hours and I also had no idea. I was Jealous of some Console builds where they simply back up the rotation! I was just happy with the copy shape and rotation option.

that may get some zombies stuck in rage mode though

@@Hamstray not if you are 15 blocks high

I just look forward the the xp from it and maybe the loot drops which are mostly mehh

instead of building a base for horde night build a compound that you can defend

Yep. I'm having way more fun playing without hordes, no quests, and feral sense. It makes every moment playing scarier and more tense

@@neuro3423 I,m doing quests with full lvl6 assassins and my goal is to not get swamped at any point, even though some POI *always* trigger some mad aggro zombies, but the rest I deal with using bow/arrows. When I'll be done, I'll try different armor sets to see what"s fun and less fun.

Money.

​@@clapjack-true, also suffering is mostly entertaining to watch as long as its digital

Personaly i only play single bc you dont need to account for other fucking up

I am loving solo. Go solo and the game becomes a different experience - so much better. After always being the cook/farmer with two others I really didn't learn much and my fighting /bow skills were pretty pathetic even with good weapons. Now I have to fight Zombies on my own, go into scary POIs alone and also have to learn to understand EVERYTHING about the points and perks myself. It is nice to have some advice and suggestions like this series. Izzy is very precise so you will get ALL the nitty gritty from him. There are so many ways to play this game - it's magic! I have turned off the Horde Nights at the moment. Having a PC allows me to also have extra fun going into Creative mode where I can experiment building a simple melee style base or two, either in a field near the Trader or choosing and adapting a POI. God Mode is fun; I also have the dev tools - still looking into how to get the entity thingy up to summon Zombies to test my Horde Base. Regards.

Do not go deep go HIGH

@@Superniemeyer But ... But bunker moment

​@@TheFrankWhiteShow hold square when having a block to build. A radial menu will pop up, which gives you several options.

@@aliakirk5505 hold x on the block and select it

Use solid blocks simple as that

@@Superniemeyer that doesn’t always work, in my experience. Hence the x-ray comment, heh. I’ll have to keep experimenting.

There are some useful video's on it here on youtube. Just look up 7 days cop spit. There was a lot of testing done by people to see just which blocks work and dont work. Same with screamer proofing. :)

At PSEUDO POSSE channel Eerie Knight shows you the new blocks in this 1.0 version, he has a whole section on COP SPIT. He loves building and shows the EFFECTS of many types of blocks on Zombies, he also does very complicated builds in beautifully presented videos. You will learn so much. I keep it all pretty simple but appreciate his work. To simplify: plain SQUARE blocks make it safe to be inside OUT OF SIGHT of Cops. E. Knight shows there are a couple of SPIT RESISTANT BLOCKS to safely melee from behind because once the Cops can see your HEAD they will spit. RAGE mode is fairly simple to overcome if you always stand 15 blocks up in your melee position. DELAYING the flow of the Zombies is important, otherwise you can get overwhelmed and can't repair in time. Use Electric fences, or mazes, bombs quickly clear congestion. Demolishers will always be of concern if they explode and damage the tracking to you. (Our Horde Base always had a risk of catastrophe if we did too much wrong during Horde Night otherwise it stood up to everything - face to face and at risk - great fun.)

This is where i say "skill issue" and cackle.

@@IzPrebuilt Definitely a skill issue. But 🖕🏾😭🤣

@@IzPrebuilt what map/seed is this?
