thank you for this I will def watch the series

I appreciate all of this the base stood amazingly strong on my day 35 horde. My question though is there anyway way to incorporate the exact same base in a two player build and not sacrifice stability

Firstly, thanks for a great video for someone just beginning the journey into 7dtd! Now, the question. I've built an exact copy of your base, but i seem to be having some issues with zombie pathing. It's 11 blocks tall, with 10 spikes on the center column. I've only upgraded the entrance where i fight them to cement, and all of my lower part of the base is steel. Yet, somehow there seem to only be around a third of them climbing the stairs, while most keep hitting the steelpart on the groundlevel? Most of the ground level is cement as foundation whilst the pillars are all the first 2 levels with steel. Been trying to figure this out, but i can't seem to find a solution :/ You happen to know of one?

@@SicknessWin Sounds like they are going into rage mode. You want to zombies to fall 13 blocks or more otherwise they rage and will attack your base. Keep in mind the zombies pile on one another so if they fall on a heap, you can take a few blocks away as well.

@@tesseract2365 I figured it out, and oh my do i feel sincerely stupid after i did. I had simply forgotten to close the door for some reason, and had just never noticed. Had never used powered doors before that, and it was connected to a timer, but the timer had max connections if i recall correct(?), which took away the one for the door.

Truly amazing, that’s a lot of hours looking for the blocks, materials, etc., for each upgrade… 👍🏼

Creative mode 😏

@@shaneflannery5267 try to replicate the same with all the info he put on and see how many ours will take you to do it… Remember, he’s the one who makes all the researching… Sometimes we don’t appreciate all the effort they do for us…

@GunsNerdsandSteel I was hoping you would see and comment on this build!! His editing style and attention to detail reminds me of the hard work you put into your videos. I have really been digging the base upgrading set to the beat of the music! G9 does this as well and it's always one of my fav parts of the video. Huge props for all the amazing 1.0 content you have been putting out. The camera angles, sound effects, super clear and articulate voiceover, and level of commitment to your base design keep me coming back for more!

@@shaneflannery5267 I use the most appropriate tools available ... and to rapidly prototype bases, I do often build in creative because it's the most efficient use of time so I can get content out to HELP people learn to build. But if you want you can see me build it in a live playthrough ...kzfaq.info/sun/PLDRZ6PYEiJSJlHVGqDOwKgEw6HplNCXPN

Thanks for taking the time to provide that feedback. This was by far the biggest tutorial vid that I've done so glad to see it's resonating well!

Agreed! Thanks Eko, you can see the love you put into this base and this video, like all of your content. That extra effort goes miles

That was well said and put I can also agree on day 50 on my 1.0 I love the thought of giant useable bases but the off the top details to to each and every build is wonderful

100% agree! First of all - many thanks, Eko! Have to say, that I´m german native (Austria) - so it gave me a little hard time, to find out all the right blocks you`re using, but I spent my nights figuring out and preparing them - and I can say: your tutorial also works fine for german speaking people! 😉 Took some time to integrate your base to my existing game - but with the advantage of having another "working" base next to it - now everything works like charms! Again tahnks a lot for your effort, Eko! Lovely regards from Austria! 👍😃

Trying to make these for anyone to consume! Glad you enjoyed!

Thanks kindly!!

I get that ... I kinda changed format on the material listing mid vid ... one of the challenges of making these is you almost always forget one of the parts ... and then start recording. So trying to learn better ways to do this but still let people know what they need up front.

Thank you!!

Thanks for that feedback. Was hoping to get this out earlier, but it's those little details that I hope make this followable even for new folks!

Glad it helped! Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks so much! Appreciate the love as this one was such a big lift!

The only change I made was to put some bars above where I stand surrounded by ramps giving me a wide-eye view of the sky. I prefer to blast those little bastard vultures out of the sky myself for now :) I should also note that I did not have time to widen the stairs or add the grenade pit, and it still held up under a Day 21 horde night in the winter biome where 3 demos and LOADS of cops came to the party!

Glad it's working well for you!!

Glad it's working for you!

Yeah - day 35 you need to be up to concrete and have the full base built!

I'm not exactly sure about the specifics, but I'm pretty sure the zombies are being triggered into rage mode when they fall. I think it's 13 blocks to avoid it completely, 11 blocks if they don't hit anything on their way down. But they love to clump up and fall on each other's heads, falling only 9 blocks of height since they landed on a zombie, I imagine spike traps would reduce their fall distance too. So I think it's a good idea to have a 13 block gap just to have some headroom for these situations, if you don't wanna build higher you can dig a pit 2 blocks deep all around the zombie path, make sure they have an easy way back to the path though

Thanks so much for the feedback!

Thanks so much Whistor!

There's always ways to improve!! I look forward to seeing other's takes on this that will move it to the next level!

Thanks so much!

Thanks Joutre!!!

Please beg borrow and steal! We all get better snagging pieces from each other!

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much!

Thanks! Hoping it gives some answers that folks were asking on stream!

@@WaywardEko It has definitely helped me out. I was excited to see how you were going to do the pit and the design for it is really nice. Keep up the great work on both the streams and the building tutorials!

Yes, I typically "fight where I live", but this design could be adopted. Increase the platform level from 7x7 to 11x11, add a second level, one for living, one for fighting.

You can absolutely get the materials. The crucible is sold very often at the trader for 15k dukes. That said, once you combo up w/ some enforcer glasses, sugar butts, .44 book for 5% barter, awesome sauce ... you can get it down to around 9k dukes. That is the best route.

Thanks kindly!

Thank you and enjoy!!

Drop some pics in discord when you get it setup! Love seeing how people riff on other ideas!

Glad it's working for ya!

It is 11 blocks high :) and more after you add the pit. Pole is a single point of failure - the combo cube + 2 narrow tips allows for redundancy. Spiral staircases would absolutely be a viable choice!

@@WaywardEko I should have mentioned to stack two poles ontop of eachother to have that redundency. Will try so since V1 already came out!

Appreciate the feedback!

Glad it helped!

@@WaywardEko hey, I dont know if you will reply but I am building the base in my playthrough and I found out that dogs stack up between underneath the stairs and that little foundation to keep the stairs from collapsing. Is there a building mistake or something else I am missing? Thanks in advance!

Thanks so much!! Enjoy!

Awesome!!!!

Thanks so much!

I'm so bad at piloting them... also thank you!!

So happy to have the console folks on the new version!

Thank you so much for that!

This is the direction I'll be going with the channel - more build focused blended with some mechanics vids.

Glad you enjoyed!! Thank you!

Thanks as always for the support brother!

Thanks so much for the support!

Thanks so much!

Make sure to drop a picture on my discord when you're done!

Thanks so much Sir!!

Thank you so much!

@@WaywardEko ur very welcome!!!!! 💜

Thanks kindly for that!

I almost added those timestamps but it made it look like you had a 5 minute section covering the materials and shapes.

@@WaywardEko i am directly making steel stuff so these time stamps are helping me to track in case i make doubles so guessed it might help someone else too

good looking out

All great ideas!

100% intentional. It's the little things that makes the edits take longer but is sooo satisfying.

Love it! The musician in me appreciated every single one.

Thanks so much Rook!!

Enjoy!!

Glad it helped!

Thank you kindly!

Your kind words mean a lot to me. I appreciate the support!

Thanks kindly!

Yup - pressure plate is a completely valid approach!

Thank you!

Glad it's working for ya! Would love to hear about your modifications!

@@WaywardEko For starters I noticed Robotic Turrets don't fit in 1 full block gaps, so I put a 3/4 block on one side to fit them in, with plates on the outward facing sides to make it look more solid. Not 100% sure on positions yet, might raise the roof a block or two higher to put elevated positions adjacent or above the electric wire traps.

@@WaywardEko latest iteration I have done of it has the following modifications: First blocks on both sides of the fighting position have been replaced with cube 3/4's rotated to where the missing part is facing away from the fighting position block Then I placed plate ramps rotated where the sloped side faces the opening for the fighting position on the inside and outside of the cube 3/4 spots to cover the gaps, and above them to smooth it out. Then placed a column of 3 high scaffolding ladders rotated on their side next to the original fighting position, with plate ramps smoothing it out on the top and bottom. Along with stairs in the inside of the base ascending outwards towards the scaffolding ladders with a 1 block gap, followed by a hatch on top of the gap between the stairs and the scaffolding ladders. From there everything is pretty much the same, that makes 2 spots where robotic turrets can be placed underneath the hatches, and additional players can stand and fire on top of the hatches. For a player to fit in there, either crouch or walk in pretty centered, or perhaps replace the block directly above those positions with a cube 3/4 with the space facing downward, and do more of the plate ramps for smoothing as needed.

Thanks kindly!

Thanks so much!!!

Thanks kindly!

Thanks kindly!

Get it!

That's what I like to hear!!!

Completely valid option!

Thank so much!!

thanks so much!! I generally stray from mechanics like that which appear to defy real world physics - just a personal preference.

@@WaywardEko I used to be that way, but Minecraft broke me. :D

Love seeing people make their own tweaks!! Please drop by my discord and drop a pic when you are done!!

Glad to help!

Really appreciate that!!!

Enjoy!

Thanks kindly for the support!

It was a beast of an edit - tried to make it as new player friendly as possible.

@@WaywardEkoI’ll bet it was. I’m just coming back to 7days since alpha 20. Wow there are changes made. Loving 1.0 and loving your live stream. Almost caught up so hopefully be able to see you live soon 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you so much!!! Enjoy!

Thanks kindly!

Thanks kindly!

Thanks for the support!!

Opening the door can be tricky when they stack up but usually you can get an opening. You could technically leave the door open all horde and they will keep trying without going into rage mode. Yeah - I tested on Survivalist ... so on Insane you'll have more stack up dealing with the crazy HP numbers.

Thanks kindly as always Sir!

Glad it's working well for you!!!

Make sure you get the upgraded version!!!!

​@@WaywardEkowheres the upgraded version?

Thanks a lot!

Enjoy!!!

Thanks so much!!

I did this on my livestream with almost no active resource gathering and built the whole thing in a day in game. We all play differently.

@@WaywardEko I watched the livestream before I commented this. You started on day 4-5. Finished around 2 days later

Thank you!!

More build guides incoming ... likely different bases and formats!

@@WaywardEko that’s what I meant. Can’t wait

I've seen this happen sometimes when the door is damaged.

I’ve had the same challenge with many bases. Sometimes they just glitch through. I would fill the spaces around as you are able.

In early game it doesn't matter, in the later hordes the pit easily accounts for that.

Thanks kindly!

Thanks!

Thank you!

You could do something similar to what I did on the Eko Craft ... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qeCoe6lmvq2oZGg.html

@@WaywardEko idk if I can do that with 11 blocks high 🤔 to much of an incline, I was thinking more like a dra bridge but that's a good option
