This might help you.  You can make an infinite water supply within your base in a very small area.   https://youtu.be/KYDyjwhJuXo

I have a tested & confirmed way to still drop zombies, if that's your style.  I have a picture showing the design (4 ramp blocks & 4 pyramid blocks).  The 5 minute video gives a quick walk-through on how to build it (along with a special visit by a zombie bear, lol), and it also shows a...

I shoot out of boredom.  It’s more fun that way.   If I had bigger hordes, I’d just make it wider.  

You can make a much stronger base than this, using a lot less dart traps.   I use only 8 dart traps and it shreds everything in vanilla.   Blood Moon:

You don’t actually need to use wedge tips.  You can use a ramp in 4 corners, in place of the wedge tips.     I know I’ve shared this design before, but it utilizes ramp blocks, in combination with the pyramid block, to get the same effect.  You don’t have to “Bury the Zombies Alive” but you...

I hear that there is no intent to remove punching crops to harvest them.   I’ve come somewhat used to it, but like many others, it still drives me mad when I pick up a seed rather than harvest the crop in my crosshairs. So, I have a solution that I think makes almost everyone happy.    ...

I didn’t read all of the comments, but you just need to rethink your base designs to accommodate the demolishers.  With the exception of vultures, this base will literally take care of the whole blood moon for you.  And it only uses 4 electric fence posts, 4 trip wires, and 8 dart traps.   ...

I have built and tested this setup, and I can confirm the darts will not damage the blade traps. As others noted, the only way to use the blade trap and trigger plate is if the blade trap is 2 blocks high. However, this setup does not work for demolishers, since the blade trap activates their...

Thanks! It took me a while to get this one in action! It’s actually a 5 way. There are dart traps on top, controlled by trigger plates. It really is a chamber of death that piles up the zombies!

If you want to build a base to beat them, you have to adjust to the challenges. First, never use blade traps, they do hit the button. Dart traps are fine though. For me, the goal is to never hit the button, but that’s just how my bases are designed. I feel like this is the easiest strategy...

I do that so I can efficiently mine without worry of zombies or animals attacking me. When I get an auger, I can fill my bag in only a few game hours, unload at the base, then repeat. I like doing this at night too, since it’s safe to stay there for hours. Just need a stack of repair kits...

First, I find a hill or surface area that is raised from the rest of the ground. I’m not sure if this matters, but I find I have more luck under hills than flat ground. Then, I dig a hole straight down until I get to elevation of 12-14. That’s deep enough that surface zombies won’t hear you...

For the sake of this game, I consider those mostly “part of the engine”, since that detail doesn’t exist for anything else in the game. Vehicles, for example, have none of those details, nor require special vehicle parts. I would like to see more consistency in how the details are used. Either...

I also dislike the parts. IMO, it’s an unnecessary grind hurdle. If I can make steel, and I’m an expert craftsmen, it seems odd that I also need specific parts to make an auger, for example. And it really doesn’t make sense to deconstruct a chainsaw to get the parts for an auger. That’s what...

Think of it like an average person turning bodybuilder. The average person needs 2,000 calories a day to sustain themselves. If that person starts working out intensively to become a bodybuilder, and puts on 40 lbs of muscle, the same 2,000 calorie diet doesn’t work. They’ll be hungry and...
