Invincible base... by Day 3

[Serana Borogroves]

just make a "Guantlet", a LONG path zombies have to zig zag thru. At present, farms can grow underground or you can build a tower with a farm on each level. Tested it troroughly, it took me 15 layers of 20 long path to last me all night, Z take all night to go through it and die in the sun when dawn comes. I hope they make it a bit more challenging.

If you have Daytime zombies on, just put an archer at the end of each turn. will get a screenshot shortly.

Enable the double amount of zombies and wait when you get to about 100 colonists ;)

you can also enable daytime zombies, and even with tower stacking tactics, getting over 500 colonists is really hard, because building farm towers becomes tedious.

but the devs know about this. i've had one dev play on my server and looking at my base, which was basically a death gauntlet and 2 high farm towers^^ there were so many zombies and the wheat growing was so laggy, that the map was really performance demanding, so the developer asked for the map and with that map he managed to push some performance fixes.

once they get around to rebalancing the whole game your tactics might not work later on.

besides, you can also build farm towers in minecraft^^

I'm hoping they add a lot to the game, it looked interesting enough to drop in $20 worth of support, but it still needs a lot of work :)

They have a roadmap of what is coming. There are going to be stronger enemies as well. hoping for some faster ones. For a day 1 release, it is done very well. I enjoy building different killzones atm. Right now I have a 84 colonist colony setup with a zig-zag style killzone. Loads of fun!

Lol, You arent meant to play the game like that though, build as if it was an actual colony, you can still dig around your base but the zig zag thing is dumb, I am not saying you didnt have a good idea, im just saying the game is much more fun building something that is actually a bit tough to defend, and another thing is once you get late game you can have a giant wall with archers, rn i have a giant castle with a wall, about 100 archers total

Don't forget that this game is at 0.1.18. This is far from 1.0 which is release and it's in Early Access.

This game will change so much that you won't recognize it when it comes out.

Just wait until the colonists aint blocky anymore O.o

[Chev Chelios [SVK]]

Well, you know they will always be blocky ;)

Also, I did post my base some time ago on different thread, so if somebody wants to play with the new verion, you can download it here:

You're meant to have fun, if you're having fun, you're playing it the way it's meant to be played :)

Thanks! Also when i said it wasnt meant to be played like that i was just saying that that was too easy, and since it is medievle based you wouldnt see a castle with a zig zag path. I was pretty much just saying playing like that isnt fun to me, i like the challenge!

[Serana Borogroves]

I like trying to break games.

I have 2 worlds, an SP that is legit playing and a server that I play with a few buddies and use the zig zag. The one up there has over 250 colonists between the 3 of us and Z can't make it thru the maze by sun up.

Game has excellent potential as a Tower Defense and I ca't wait to watch it evolve (well I can, hence buying it Day 1 of public EA)

When the stronger and faster monsters are introduced a redesign will be in order

[Death]

enable all check boxes. zombies in daytime, double amount, etc.
