The only one's that can fit through one block gaps are dogs, the torso zombies, and vultures but they could always do that.
Take a two block opening. Put a hatch on the ground, flip it open. In the block space on top, put a pole across that gap. Now with the hatch up and the pole there, there is a 7/8ths block space open, and zombie dogs, etc., can't climb through, and if you close the hatch, you can walk through it just fine.
Your bases aren't obsolete, you just need to adapt them. This honestly isn't a big issue at all.
That part has happened for a long time. If too many z's are pushing behind them some can get phased through small openings, bars, hatches, doors, etc. Only thing that seems to work is to kill them quicker and keep the crowd to just a few.
Its lame zombies cam crawl and we can't.
If a lot of zombies are crowding around one tiny entrance (I assuming you're doing a melee base), especially if you've cranked up the number of zombies that appear per player, you can limit them more through a few means.
Anyway, methods of preventing zombie crowding:
1) Use electric fence posts. I won't make a melee base without these, and you get them guaranteed by Advanced Engineering 3. They only take 7 Forged Iron and some electrical parts you can easily get from wrenching cars, and cost no steel.
2) Make your entrance larger than 1 block space. This isn't actually a negative for a melee base using clubs as if you position yourself properly you can hit 3 zombies at the front, simultaneously, with one power attack (Pummel Pete is the GOAT, change my mind).
3) If you're dead-set on using a 1-block-width funnel into you without electric fence posts, et al, then place hatches or other things that the zombies need to jump over. They will run into the hatch, but if they have the space to jump, they'll pause, jump over it, and then do it again. Place a few hatches leading up to you, so you can club zombies down and have some time so they can't crowd and phase through blocks.
Currently, in A20, I have a base with a 2-block-width entrance that has two hatches I raise in front of me and a pole block at top, and no zombie, not a spider, not even a *vulture* has gotten through that gap. I spec'ed shotguns and clubs for damage, but pushed Str and Int for Advanced Engineering so I could get reasonable base defenses and a Crucible (I had not yet taken a single point in any offensive skill but Pummel Pete until the third horde night. Base construction was enough to keep me alive on Warrior difficulty and everything else set to default settings). Power attacking and knocking zombies back/down served me well enough for the first 20ish days.
I put a row of cubes on the ground, and a row 3 blocks up leaving a one cube space. Then I put a plate in the middle row to make it less than a one cube space. They seem to still get through that space, birds do, dogs do, spiders do and sometimes a normal zombie.
