Multiple Bases possible in hordenight?

[Niggels]

Can I make multiple bases in 7D2D and when the hordenight comes they will only attack the base I am in?
How do they spawn and pathfind? To the player or activity like forges, campfires and generators?

Horde night is centered purely upon the player- The zombies want You- And only You. They'll destroy anything between them and you.

So what most people do is have a home base where they store everything, and then a horde base that they do all the fighting in so there's no risk to their stuff.

That's rather zesty.


But yes they'll only attack you. If you play co-op with your buddies they'll also multiple and divide to attack all of you, whether or not you and your friends are based together or separately.

I do it the hard way, i have 1 base and defend it liek i have everything to lose. so far only the lower floor has suffered. since everything is a floor up, i find it fine and usually just fall back in stage's to some broken stairs where i usually end up, defending there, till dawn.

I do both, separate horde night bases, then later on a single permanent base.

In the beginning, I use various buildings around a town as horde night fighting bases. When they get really tore up, I find and convert another. I don't spend a lot of time fixing them if they get really jacked up.

As I get better resources, better gear, etc, they get tougher and tougher (upgrading blocks, etc). When I start adding powered traps, the damage slows down a lot.

And about that stage I begin work on a single permanent fortress base. Bottom levels are all defenses, top is living, farming, etc. It's all about waiting until I have the resources and infrastructure to make tons and tons and tons of concrete quickly.

What does number of bases have to do wit "permadeath"? Or was this just a opportunity to say to everyone that you play permadeath?

And to answer to OP: Zombies spawn only in your area, there is 0 zombies in the parts of the map where no players are present. Regular zombies do not react on heat levels (forges, torches, fires...) but certain amount of heat will cause screamer to spawn - yet again they will not spawn if you leave your base and go exploring.
Horde night is a different situation, like people above already explained, zombies only want you, they will attack blocks if they can't get to you but they don't care for your stuff and stations. They chose easiest or shortest path to you.

If you delete the game anyway if you die you doesnt care if the Zombies destroy the Base. (what happens only if you die and your base is not decent)
