BUILD the Best Horde Base Ever!

What's the best base design? Here it is! Well, out of mine anyhow! We're making the best base design for hordes in 7 days to die, which comes complete with the simple fall trap should the zeds break through (unlikely). Each wall is doubled up poles, protected by dual electric fences, dual shotgun turrets, dual blade traps and of course, dual dart traps!

⚫ We use sod for the ground, with its great blast resistance!
⚫ Walls 6 x wide.
⚫ Towers on the corners. Standard design.
⚫ Don't forget the ramps!
⚫ Poles! Two deep where possible.
⚫ Dual blade traps
⚫ Dual shotgun turrets
⚫ Dual dart traps
⚫ Dual electric fences per side
⚫ Trip wire!

⚫ Wiring it all up! Some go on trip wire, some on switch.
⚫ Iron bars around for protection.
⚫ Don't forget the kill box, which gives a great view to fight from!
⚫ Concrete works, but steel works best!
⚫ Don't forget to make a ladder down to the drop trap, and a way out!

⚫ Sit back and relax, you're safe!

What's your best horde base build? What defense designs to you put in place?

I'll work on making this even better in future episodes, not that it's strictly necessary, but to give further ideas of how to extend and layer the defenses even more!

Do let me know below in the comment section what your horde base designs are :)

Works for me

Thanks Tryktos! I hope console gets some electricity stuff, but the console game is hopelessly different sadly. PC definitely has a major edge, as we're looking at Alpha 17 in next month or two as well! Good to switch to PC in other words!

[Shite]

Good Stuff buddy. Dont listen to haters :D usually people know that u do the creative just to show us how its done. Im new to PC 7DTD i played on ps4 since release but we dont had electrical stuff so i switched to PC. Thanks for that ill try it. Keep it up.

Hi Mike. It's a lot easier to make videos in creative, as otherwise it'll be a lot longer to put together. I've done something similar if larger in my single player stream, and I just last night streamed doing this again for the benefit of the viewers, all in survival mode. It's not that hard.

It also doesn't matter whether this is nomad or insane, as the traps kill the zombies exactly the same way. There is no damage reduction for traps vs zombies, only for players.

[DustyDinklemen]

everyone plays creative and cheats.. so hard.. never starts insane too. always nomad. wimps

My best base build is just digging Vietcong tunnels

[Vedui]

Hey Snafu! Have any photos? :) I've never done any PvP really, so really got no clue on how people make it hard to raid, would be cool to see :D

[Meat Sweats]

Verdui, you should come see my pvp base. it has semi typical horde defense with several building techniques that make it hard to raid

[FrostToast]

hey Vedui
