I would be curious if you could combine the wedge with one of those floating block type bases. For example when they jump to the little floating block they hit a sideways sitting wedge and it pushes them off the side, missing the floating pillar blocks all together or something.

Great video. I was thinking a lot about a simple end game horde base design with ladders on single columns. I wanted to place those around my server for new players to have an easier time when joining late. Your video might have just added the final piece to this idea. My idea was to place 4 tall columns on the outer ends of a plus shape and have them connected on the top only with a forcefield or a different configuration (like a simple jump) that makes the zombies pathfind back down and up another ladder if you go over to another of the 4 columns. I think the "railing diagonal" will help make this work even for late game hordes. If you like the idea, feel free to use it in one of your videos. Keep up the good work!

This is a nice and quick mini-tower base Pseudo Posse. I like to use it just outside of difficult poi clears that have a lot of ferals or radiated. Especially in A21 my difficulty is currently outpacing my gear so it helps for tough clears. I use the diagonal railing at the top so I can clear them quickly with gun or bow. It needs to be high if you anticipate spiders and birds as well as cops will require more prep up top but it is really a quick and clever design. Just a tip if using them to help with poi clears...make sure you build it just outside of the poi reset area or you'll lose it next time you reset the poi for a job.

@pseudoposse

Жыл бұрын

Very good tips! Height is definitely important and the higher, the better it works. It can also be helpful to put a regular railing block above the diagonal to prevent zombies that group up from jumping on top of each other to get above. This can happen especially if the ladder is too short, or if you are using a single ladder at a higher gamestage with too many zombies for the single ladder to handle. So adding that one block will prevent them from doing that.

Welcome aboard! I never thought that actually worked haha :D

one thing im thinking is, maybe you need to put a really tough vault door at the top of each ladder just for safety.. so if they do break the sloping block u can just use a switch to close that vault door, and they will then start climbing another ladder... i know it didnt need it but if one slope does break by bad luck im assuming they will ignore all ladders and keep coming up the one with the broken slope and then it renders the rest of the base useless and they will sometimes get to the top and put u in danger.. so a way to stop them doing that and move them to a fresh ladder would be ideal

@pseudoposse

Жыл бұрын

Yeah that is an excellent suggestion! You could definitely make the ladders multi tiered either with additional ladders as you mentioned or put some other pathing stuff they need to traverse if they break through. You are absolutely right, if they did manage to break through, they most certainly would follow that path as it is now the easier one.

@6:30 you cam place 2 plates blocks below the ladders, in same orientation. This stops you from hitting your head on the ladders when jumping up to climb.

So I was thinking about your design and I think that what you need is a way to close off different paths in case of breakage. I am pretty sure that ladders can have 1 block spaces between them and still work (at least I know this works for players). So, maybe you could use some hatches to open and close different paths. If that doesn't work, you could just have bridges going to the different ladders near the bottom.

Pretty sweet, my problem with ladder bases though is dogs, bears, and I think brood mothers can’t climb. I definitely feel like a corridor with a narrow wedge loop right before the zeds get to you is going to be the most elite base for sniping.

@@pseudoposse my thoughts for a sniping corridor with loop is (if I understand pathing correctly) that it would be best to keep the cooridor no more than 6 blocks off the ground so the zombies don’t take fall damage and therefor won’t go in to rage mode. Also by keeping it lower to the ground you can make the corridor longer before you break the ai and the zombies try tunneling. Do you know up to how many blocks zombies can travel before the pathing ai is broken and they instead tunnel? Or if it’s not so simple and it’s a certain number of blocks within a certain block radius?

@@KillMeOrUDie If zombies are far enough from the player, they actually won't rage. But even if they are close enough, you could employ some anti rage strategies such as a pool of water where they fall. So you could certainly get around the rage mechanic if built properly. You could also build the wedge narrows straight to the ground. Lots of materials but that should prevent them from falling... instead they'll slide down. Check out our recent slide video for a version of that. However for sniper base, you'd put your platform up top instead of below as in the referenced video.

Does it need to be over the magical 11 block height to avoid the zombies going into rage mode and bringing down the column (assuming you are not using a POI and just a single pillar like your first example?).

@pseudoposse

8 ай бұрын

To prevent rage mode, or at least bring the chance of it to near zero, it needs to be at least 11 blocks high. However, I think using a single column support for your position would inevitably get collapsed as the 11 magic block height doesn't necessarily reduce the rage chance to none. The single column would only work on like the first or second horde at most. You would want to build more supports or use a POI for later hordes.

i also told cautious pancake about how you can stand on top of drones (at least you could in alpha 20) - i dunno if they will move or not.. i never tried it on horde night but if u could position a drone in the right place like somewhere just off the edge of a building or chasm, i wonder if u can be virtually safe all horde night with no base just by sitting on the top of a drone? all u would have to do is make sure there are no cops and birds & spiders by shooting them.. and after that once u have all normal zombies it could possibly be totally afk?

Essentially, you need to slightly tweak the design by first, adding a regular railing bar on top of the diagonal as sometimes, they can jump on top of each other if they bunch up too much (especially since melee will have lower DPS). Secondly you can extend the fighting platform to the sides a bit so you can attack them from the side instead of through the bars. If set up properly, it should work pretty well as a melee base.
