This is by far the most ridiculous horde base I've ever seen. And I love it. It was funny. It wasn't useless - we learned a little about zombie pathing. This knowledge always helps in whatever base we build.

@@CautiousPancake im curious on a non afk version of this base, but still keeping the main concept of the jump up and down mechanic.. basically i was thinking could you have just 2 sets of stairs and have a player path at the top that connects, but that the zombies dont see as a viable path.. so you would stand at the top of the first paths stairs, shooting down at all the zombies lined up, then as they start getting too close, you use the player path to the top of the second set of stairs.. the zombies currently on the first stairs either loop back down or jump down to start going up the second stairs, and rinse and repeat.. i know functionally its the same as a zombie dropper, but it shaves a little bit of the cheese off the top, as its possible you screw up and swap places too often and have zombies waiting at both peaks, so it keeps the adrenaline rush of a survival mechanic instead of just kicking back and watching a boring doomsday equivalent of a play with 0 danger

Poor zombies, they have never been so abused. I remember in alpha 17 or 18 we built closed-loop structures where zombies would fall and drain their health and climb back up on this carousel. I remember my personal AFK hourglass design 5x5 with a height of 3 blocks of the base and 2 blocks above the cone. Even a wooden structure could withstand a horde on any difficulty level, because the zombies could not reach the block, they were hindered by the block at the top of the hourglass, it was at an angle in the way of their head, while the bottom corner held their legs, thus creating a section of emptiness for their attacks. I remember my underground AFK base, where the entrance began 20-30 blocks away from the base and therefore the zombies could not find the entrance, trampling above you and scratching the asphalt a little.

Alone for this water trick you should get a medal of the multiverse mind. How do you get your brain work this way!?😮😳 Learnings: -Zs are no team players but with gluteus in Kardashian size thanks to this base - they don't jump one free block to cheat Questions: What is with cops? They had probably stand on top and spiit on you? And you would stay the whole night with just the first spawned in horde or do spawn the full hours ones as well? Awesome job CP... All those blocks and spikes...😵💫 What an effort 🎉 Edit: What's about a discord channel? Would like to ask the pro players about all the things in the game giving me a hard time😅
@CautiousPancake
15 сағат бұрын
hehe I should call this base The Gluteus! Cops will spit once they get within 26 blocks which is about the 5th row. They can shoot from anywhere they see, but thankfully most of the blocks are cube so that will block some of the line of sight. You could easily turn that little platform into a crafting base though and that could add a wall on the front that almost completely blocks the cop line of sight to stop all the spit. Once that first wave has spawned, if you're not fighting and killing any then no more zombies will spawn the rest of the night!

Yes, the jumping over one block thing slows then down quite a lot. I make regular use of that to funnel them for maximum grinding performance with Sledge Turrets. The only weak point is the first block so it is necessary to give them more than one access so they do not start attacking the base blocks. After that it's usually very simple.

interesting idea, beating horde night by running out the clock. Maybe do some testing with low clearance sections where they have to crouch/crawl through and see if that affects their speed. You could also add some sections of barbed wire to slow them down further and allow you to condense the footprint of the structure.
@CautiousPancake
6 күн бұрын
Crawling is pretty much the same speed as running (I've not tested the actual speed, but from my previous crawl bases they don't slow down much. barbed wire is a good idea, but it doesn't last - plus it would cause a bunch up and pushing zombies off as they come up behind. Absolutely nothing wrong with doing that, just was not the challenge I was going for here.

Like if u made the final path to u a stretch where u could end them maybe twenty minutes before the night ends. Use the sniper to take out cops or demolishes before theyr reach u or get even close as they reach the top of the paths and u see them
