For anyone wondering, this still works in v1.0 (b333)

10/10 would be fixed asap, funpimps tend to prioritize fixing cheeses rather than optimizing the game first so im 100% sure that itll be fixed quickly

'Like the old world war Z movie'. Ouch, that one hurt me right in the backache and bald patch

omg this is amazing. for the district zero mod I was wanting to make a spaceship that was hovering off the ground but didn't want to use sheets and plates mess with the bot's pathing. As for if it'll get patched it possibly will. they've shown they watch your stuff and this can be abused unfortunately, but guess we'll see. for now floating base...or tree house base and one properly supported without having fight tree alignment. knew you'd figure up a better way to make that work even if wasn't the plan. well done.

Perfect! TFP, who I have become convinced are more interested in pushing a game play style THEY want, and not paying attention to what the players want, are once again defeated. RIP FunBlimps.

Interesting. It would be fun to build a sky base with these blocks accessible only by the gyro. Gives me some ideas. Thank you CP for this fun and informative video.

The classic music killed me. Great video btw!

Interesting stuff! I would love to see you do another big creative mode build using this before it is patched.

I don't mind if they fix the hit box but it would be so nice to have an invisible block to make some really creative builds with.

LOL - I wasn't expecting a full expose'. Fantastic video! Thank you!

I'm half convinced this isn't a glitch- when I was building a base that had walkways (the walkway wooden flooring and squared railing wall in one) as the edges of a cube (to stop me falling off...) but later added plates to the outside for an added protective layer, the railing part of the walkway block disappeared just like this one. I didn't think it was supposed to but it seems like it merges with the other block for most of the railings, and in my case left only the floor part of the block visible. I think it's a "feature" of railings that they do this, to prevent clutter internally, in bases maybe.

Would love to have something like this even if targetable, the invisible and passthrough would make it great for supporting the interior of larger bases without looking cluttered by pillars. Specifically thinking of my Ravenheart game as I would like to have a 2nd floor garage for vehicles since I can't pick them up and want ground floor for dealing with zombies.

zombie moshpit 😆nice work

So, in essence what you have built is, a ufo. 😅

Interesting and it might be fun to do it with a chute for Molotov and/or grenades, not sure if they are going to fix the block or not since the possibility to path through is intended. The Funpimp could just add the possibility to destroy the block under them to the rage mode of the AI

It's interesting for sure. I don't know how easy it would be to patch with their engine. I don't think it changes gameplay very much as there are already many ways to build an AFK base if that's what you want to do. And the fact that you can't repair the damaged blocks makes it a risky thing to do for a base. I think it will just become a useful asthetic tool to add support in place of bulky blocks - to make structures look leaner and less blocky.

I would use this for my crafting area but not for the fighting base. It's more fun to fight than just stand around waiting for the "morning chime". I wish the f-pimps would leave some of this cheese alone. There are players that like it for building and just messing around.

It's amazing that the zeds pile up like that. Cool.

This would be great for building actual flying poi's. The house from UP, a ufo &/or a blimp or airplane.

This silly simple things are the ones the lame pimps rush to fix asap, I was looking for something like this for a good time by now, gonna add it to my cheese repertory for sure until is fixed ofc. Thx for the video awesome work as always

Personally would only use floating plates as the ground floor of main pillars, yeah its great that I can drive 4x4 through the invisible catwalk, but zombies (and explosion?) can damage it while unable to repair is just a big no no for me, on the other hand it would be a great interior invisible support beam where aesthetics can matter lol

Simple, if you don't like it don't use it. It is nice to have some glitches like that as he said for style on structures if that's more your thing etc. I hope they leave some glitches up to the game player to utilize or not rather than remove everything unique/neat. Too much glitch-removing steals some fun aspects of the game.

If they choose to fix it, I really hope they leave the current version in Creative Mode, for larger stable prefabs. I really don’t get why TFP refuses to make poi-versions of the turrets, bladetraps etc., including electricity for prefab builders. Of course without the possibility for players to alter that, so no using or picking up of a poi-turret for example. No prefab turrets, traps and electricity takes away immersion imho.

It should be fixed, but if not I don't really care. For me horde night is "sacred" and I'll never afk. I like to fix my base after a hard battle, counting the bodies and, of course, check all the loot.

Dude you are AWESOME. ❤

This is an interesting one for sure ....Not really sure if the Pimps will fix this one..they might do more damage trying to fix this one .They might just leave this one alone .

just tested this, it still works

love your videos. thx

Personally i would only use for secret stability, perfect safety is boring 😂

Another great vid CP, i wonder if you can paint the DD to see them?

looks like the best cheese since they killed door bases. 100% would use. also 100% needs fixed but will be fun till it is fixed.

A slightly bigger exploit than the cactus. Let's see how long it takes FP to fix this one.

As the pimps have said, they don’t like exploits in their games. So it will be patched surely. I mean hell they didn’t even let us keep the hatch elevator :(

I aim to misbehave 😆

its weird you did this video ont he railings cos i noticed this yesterday but didnt put 2 and 2 together.. i was just making a road up to my base with railings and some blocks seemed to disappear into the solid ones and i was wondering what the hell was happening.. is this new to alpha 21? or did it always do this?

I believe the difference in the zombies being able to target the invisible block comes down to the height you built them up to. Saw somewhere else that zombies wont go into "destruction" mode if you are more than 11 blocks away from them.

I think the only real upset would be in pvp. Of other players dont know they can destroy the bottom blocks of a floating base, i could see how that could be annoying. But imo, it shouldnt be fixed for any other reason than potential pvp frustration, as the blocks do not behave as expected/ designed. On the other hand, single or cooperative play could have a lot of fun making spaceship builds or experimenting with these blocks!

floating farm hell yes

hey, does this trick still work? which exact block name are you using? i tried it today.. the ones near the full blocks disappear but when u put ones above in the air they dont disappear dunno if im doing it wrong or using the wrong block or if the fun pimps fixed it so u cant do it? im trying to do a building with an overhang and cant quite build what i want.. was hoping to do the invisible thing so i dont need a huge long pole to hold it all up.. thanks for any info

just made one, got a hord night coming next night, looking foward to trying it out

My main question is how does one get up into the floating base without fly mode?

Ok, I can't tell you how much more I like the classical music on horde night opposed to base beats of death... that was getting so old.

i made like 8x8 but they keep hiting my statives at the bottom

I disagree that its a bug. I think its intemded for the rail to vanish against a wall. Clearly though, they disnt intend for it to be used in this fashion. Yeah i think theyre going to change it quickly now that its been discovered.

I think it a game and it's fun to have Those glitches

How did you get it so high? I'm a little confused sorry

I am new in the game, how can I do to build the catwalk v2 rail only double...?

Future patch, players report bases falling out of the sky lol.

how can you see your caracter like 3:45 what command is ?

Patched yet? and would love a revisit/follow up vid if its still in the full release

Nah. They'll be on this pretty darned pronto. Good choice of music for the fly by shots of the invisi-tower.

Awesome find! Probably be patched out in future releases but then we'll find another way to fool the zombies, lol.

I just found out about this, really surprised we haven't gotten a patch just for this. As one commenter said, Funpimps just had a bit "Horray, 10 years of Alpha!" post that celebrated their spending all their time fighting against players vs adding content to the game. I imagine they might just straight up remove this block and the others mentioned.

Is this ver 21.2? I havent played in a while.

well i think it fine since if you abuse it then you would never know when your base get blow up since they get dmg with explosion... and you cant really repair since they invisible! but for afk temporary i think it work great.

Im going to use this to make a base that looks like the Brotherhood of Steel Airship

A21.3 dropping any day now

The FP shouldn't spend this much time "fixing" things.

All the floating tactics are obviously bugs. If there is no visual connection from bottom to top, it shouldn't count as vertical support. Whether The Pimps fix it or not depends on whether they think that it will trap too much noobs into just going with a cheese build that is efficient but also very boring instead of actually playing the game. they didn't fix floating in general, force fields, obstacle drop courses, the slide and a few other pathing exploits. The roundhouse fix will likely be that zombies eventually give up reaching you and just go into area destruction mode. That said, it is hard to create arconian funnel buildings with the limited structural support mechanics in the game. So i might exploit the hell out of this actually invisible floating technique to improve the look of my buildings. I will still provide proper paths for the zombies. But with invisible supports, i can create some realistic but also bold looking tower and bridge structures which just aren't possible without floater cheese.

Not something I'd use, but would be nice to see it stay because of the fun visual

it would be great if it became a toggle option for players who want to make a cool looking floating base, because that way it easily solves the problem, it allows players who want this glitch to use it while also having it be not in the normal modes of 7 Days take the devs from terraria for example, the player base had discovers a way to move without any inputs using sloped blocks, this glitch is called a HOIK and Relogic saw this glitch and left it in as an intended feature. im not saying that 7 Days should be the exact same but more so allow the players that freedom to choose if they want that in their world, because yes there will always be those players who want to use a floating horde base but cosmetically it looks really cool to have a home floating in the sky but the likely outcome is that the devs will remove this glitch entirely while understandable it still sucks for the aesthetics

I love it. tho its deff cheesey a.f. I would bet FP will fix it. but wish it would stay or have some variant. Leave it to the players to decide if they want to make use of it for bases or for deco or what not.

hmmmm lil hatch in the middle and drop boom booms till my lil hearts content

UFO/Plane build base! :D Closer to the Vultures; joy!! >XD 1st time I came across one of those it scared the crap out of me; it's not just zombies! 4:10 - Fuck no, they're pulling a WW Z!! Ha - 4:15 - You mention WW Z! >XD

likly to be fixed, and i think it has something to do with the lack of hit box as you could drive your car through it

👍👍

this would be amusing use for a pit trap one. and it'll get killed i'm sure but honestly i wish they'd just leave crap like this. i feel like 9/10 its not apvp game at this point.

I would use it to make a MAHOOSIVE castle with no obstructing supports inside and I do mean MAHOOSIVE.

would like to see a base mod that is on a ship in the middle of the ocean or in space or on the bottom of the ocean

For builders is a great block I wish people would not divulge this stuff it ruins it for those of us that love to build thats Why I never talk about my tricks when I find them

with my luck this will be patched as soon as they know about it. thanks for the video!

Has this been patched yet?

with those really tiny blocks that you cant drive thru.. it could be used as a cool way to set up an ambush on multiplayer on a road... wait for people to drive into an area blocked off by almost invisible tiny bits and then shoot them dead.. or just to be annoying... maybe surrounding their base with little bits so they cant get out easy.. could be funny

Did you all know about the bow glitch to use infinitely consumables ?

As with all things 7 Days, enjoy it while you can!

it's interesting from a technical perspective, but the point of the horde night is to build normal defenses and survive... so unless you're on a pvp server, where pvp is the focus, there's no point to this

Awww but…burger 😂

watch this gets patched sooner than you can say "cheese". Fun pimps take all the cheese and fun out of their games, making everything chore or unfun.

i wonder if u'd get banned on a multiplayer server for using this to make a base?
