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.

While the zig zag is pretty cool, I find it kind of cheesy, but each to their own. Some of us like to try an build insane castles with towers of food and others like to build for more aesthetic's. Then again I do like to build in moutains and water so maybe what I do is kind of cheesy as well.

Go to your Steam folder.. common.. Colony Survival.. gamedata.. savegames.. YourSavegame.

Make a backup of settings.json.. or make a backup of your entire savegame folder.

Edit the file with Notepad++ or such:

Set zombies at daylight = True
Set double amount of zombies = True

Save that and get back into game!

ffs... I know it is cheesy and if I wanted to legit play the game, I wouldn't do it, I would have day zeds, I would have double zeds, etc. I like breaking games, and telling everyone else how to, and in doing so I hope the devs see and make a more challenging game. I bought CS with the intent of finding and pointing out the broken things so that the devs can fix it.

I have told the devs for Eco (a greenlight game, I bought it thru them directly instead of waiting for steam) about a dupe bug that they promptly fixed. I have reported bugs and exploits to the devs of 7 Days to Die and ARK and Empyrion, I break games and point out the flaws so the devs can fix them.

Everyone commenting, rather than telling me how to workaround the current game mechanics with file edits, should post the issues here on the forums, so the very active devs can work on fixing the bugs.

TLDR: Post the bugs you find instead of complaining about the exploit I have found. Help the devs make a better game instead of trying to help me make a better game.

CS Devs I give you kudos for reading the forums and responding pretty quickly :)

Excellent point.

My main language is not english.. so I'm not sure if there is something between the lines.. sarcasm or such.

This is no workaround for me. And for sure this is no issue or bug ( BTW: there is a Bug Reports sub-forum ).

Choose what you want play, start game, play it. Devs gave us the backdoor through files to change everything.. enough for me. Sorry for those how cant edit plain-text files. I would not wait for those ingame-buttons.. most devs/games don't allow that.

Some people were saying the zig zag isn't very aesthetically pleasing. I beg to differ.

Plus you can organize things underground, it's great.

It is a tower defense game.

[Forgotten.]

I mean the way he built it looks like an actual tower defense game, not a open world defense game

[Abstract-Player]

Hm.. you can call it open world defense game.. but it is still a tower defense game.
