can all zombies break stuff under them?

[Kara]

I found this to be hard to search for. I made a little man made cave under a large boulder. i dug down 4 blocks and move inward under the boulder like 5 blocks. It also happend to be the 7th day horde on my tail as i was quickly trying to make some sort of shelter to hide in lol. Basically they broke in and got me. I dont know however, if they can punch down at the wood frame i had over the opening of my cave or if just the weight of them all caused them to collapes onto me. first they broke the wooded frame but i replaced it before they slid down the hole. then i decided to keep digging and maybe come above ground farther away so they stop pursuing me. I saw blood, looked up, and they were breaking in from above.

Anyone know if the dirt is just too weak to hold them up? I just want to know because this will be the deciding factor of me trying to live in a deep game made cave, thanks.

It seems to me like they know what's created by the original seed and what was added by you. They always seem to sense when something isn't right and attack it, even if I'm not near it at the time. Plus, you were being attacked during a blood moon.

i have a pit under my spikes and horizontal concrete pillar50s supporting them. this is so i can loot and repair from underneath without using frames to get on top of the spikes to do it.
it seems that veryvery rarely they have damaged 1 or 2 of the pillar supports minorly, but its so rare that i could just be mis-remembering.

No matter how strong castle you made,they can easily appear around you inside your safe zone^^

humans are like ice cream made,zombies are like iron made,buildings and manmade structures are like fruit.

too terrible=.="

what? they fell on top of me, i'm guessing based on the integrity of the sand blocks.

I see. Sounds like i have a decent shot at making a safe cave base in a game made cave. When i was staying on top of a building, the zombies didnt go straight for the wood frames i threw around the bottom of the ladder.
In the hole i made, there was one zombie that saw me go inside moments before night time hit. Also as i was sniping them up through the wood frame the zombies were seeming to punch the bodies and break them. it could have just been a crawler or dog doing that but idk. It was horrifying anyways lol. they were so loud going serious ape shrimp. I wonder if the blood moon thing is what made them freak out the entire time. Even as i hide out of their view they were fully pursuing me.

Also its been a thing they have had for a while if you kill a lot of stuff in one spot or lay down a sleeping bag, zombies come to that area. Since then i dont keep one near me :P

During a blood moon, which now seems to correctly hit every 7 days (hence the title of the game), they'll come straight for you if you're near enough. It doesn't appear that there's any reason they know you're there. Best thing to do I've found is to create a crazy hard to penetrate structure and give yourself some snipe points high enough they don't stack on top of each other high enough to get to you. I just built a base right beside a very small pond...right on the edge of it. I put the hardest structures facing opposite the water.

They usually try to get to it through the water, so they sink into the water and just keep hitting dirt under the water. My base is still standing and they almost never get through. If there's a blood moon, I try to wait it out, or simply store any gear I might lose and then make a run for it by leaping out of my base. They either follow me or they don't if so I die and then spawn near my camp. Otherwise, I just wait it out. By the time 4am hits, they'll be back to normal, the sun's coming up and I can go take them out. Then I get to repair my base over the next 2 days. It's a viscious cycle, but it's more fun than never getting hit and never having a challenge.

I try to store a sleeping bag high, so that even if I die, I can come back to that spot.

Zombies are programmed to go straight to you, they will smash downwards to get to you. They will tear down anything in their path, including trees, rocks, hills, structures and your face.

They awlays spawn within the same "cell" as you, so they can be right where you are without traveling far, because there is no pathing in this game.

I agree that they spawn in your cell, but I have had mobs spawn near that never made it to me, even on a blood moon. Sometimes, a good strategy is to get away from your base when it happens so that if you die, they're not tearing it apart.

Underground bases are soon to become a thing of the past. As I understand it in version 15 zombies will find you even down as deep as bedrock. If they can't get to you they will wait on the surface until you come out.

You will need to learn how to kill the horde not just hide from it or run away. You might as well learn now.

So it's true, the devs want us to play the game the way the devs want, not how we want...I dont want to be a dweeb building an above ground base from scratch just like their trailer and just like their launch screen. It's sandbox for a reason. =[ I was shooting at the zombies from where i was but the devs decided we dont need to have a hitbox for their heads lol. And that zombies should take several more body shots. You would think they would want us to have a lot of freedom and room for creativity but i guess not. Rust is another game that started closing in on creative strategy and that drove me away. Thanks for letting me know =[
