Great video. I usually find an existing poi and attach a ramp/pole section to it. This greatly reduces the materials cost allowing you to get more questing done in those first 7 days. I also turn the poles horizontal to avoid the whole floating block thing, but that’s just a matter of choice.

There are a couple of spots I've found where you can hang out safely on Horde nights, kill zombies with no risk up to and including day 21. That gives me ample time to outfit a proper base that will suffice well into triple digit days.

0:58 13 blocks height for little, to no agro (destructive mode) for fall damage

It's a solid base and even has the mandatory machicolations for killing the odd outlier who gets stuck in rage mode.

But all you do by having the pit is delaying reage mode until they come back in range. You need to make them spend some time to get into range so the timer runs out and they forget about their rage. But that's just not feasible for a starter base.
The pit is a good choice for an explosives base though. There you want to make sure that the zombies can't escape and your primary way of killing is throwing explosives and mollies into the pit. Not sure whether that is still fun in A22/1.0 with the new trickle spawn mechanic though...

Btw, it's always good to have more than one (switchable) zombie path and plan the base for that from the start. The second path after the melee station should be a loop, so you can repair in peace if needed.

[dylansmith]

im getting back in after a few years away from the game and wanted to make sure this base design was still possible and that there weren't any new problems to avoid. thanks!

[aehalix]

just picked the game up a few hours ago and having a blast! Thanks for this awesome video very informative

I think you can add a grenade shooter below the fighting position and also when you dig it’s better to make an outline of the area you wanna dig out then destroy the bottom then it will collapse which is a faster way to make a pit but your base is really good how the zombies can’t stack up

i went 15 lol but im over kill but that is 12 ground lvl with a pit with and exit back to the stair area lol however my buddy was watching my first horde night .. simple 5x5 but i forgot and had hatches to get in and out.. worked great till the floor hatch broke.. i was able to get out then up and shoot down i had no clue horde night lasts "all night" now and not a set number of waves lol but i did it!!! haha i do like the base design for early starts

[joleennagel]

Love these tips videos. Its been a while since I played so the tips will definitely help out a damsel in distress 🤣

[Popz]

Its definitely clever, however I can't stand free-floating blocks. I know it's just a video game, but I don't like the unimersive look of free floating blocks.

[mementomori]

Already far to big/elaborate for the very first horde night...
Just build a ramp up like 13 blocks or so, then have a little path with maybe some dropper blocks in it and then your little "bunker" area (which just needs to be a small box) and you're done with it.
Far simpler than what you created there, especially far simpler than digging a far to big pit.

Your pit also has the problem that it can't deal with dogs. They will start destroying the ground.

[rubycandy]

I always do house style bases, I need to think outside the box.

[robertbarton]

These ‘floating block’ builds, break emersion for me

[justinritchie]

Im confused on how you get back into the base after you scaffolding the doorway off... Unless you have to break it every single time which would really suck.

[dichebach]

The distance from player to not cause "Destroy Area" mode may have been increased to 16 or 17.

[toysoldier]

Hordes now last until 4AM Reach, have you tested this in actual game play? Not to mention having to scramble resources and run missions so you can progress?

[MRmofoHD]

Since this xbox updated version I can't figure out how to pull the shape menu up or how to craft poles and nothing online says hold block hold B but no option

[ironEagleWings]

Nice Idea have you are idea how tu bild this build with electric trapps?
