underground can be make interesting by adding Environmental hazards there. like iron chuck or coal chunk they can make a uranium chunk, if someone dig there it radiation, and destroy that chunk will be like 15000 hit point. It will be effective if it appear more than at least diamond chunk.

Similarly we can make underground gas leak from bedrock, so if you are say in 15 block radius of that you can experience uncertain urge in gas leak result in poisoning etc to player.

For POI, they should not be random room, yes I do expect random Wall safe other than other random stuff already done or added. having random container or night stands in POI is welcome as well.

Digging down through rock..you could would have a Radon problem . Introduce a 2x2 ventilation system at a certain depth that a zombie(s) can get into and gain access too you. There are no digging threats being introduced so you need something to make it not boring.. living underground. Every 10 blocks needs a turn so zombies aren't dying on the way down .

The underground dwellers will be requesting a mole machine to dig next...now that gyrocopters are being added..

Another way to avoid the zombies.

lol.Reminds me of the three stooges.

The radiation , combined with the virus , mutate underground fungus into killing machines...

Or...simpler but not nearly as fun...the radiated virus infested fungus generate toxic spores that have to be filtered or eventually will kill an underground living player...unless they head to the surface for a certain amount of time to recover...

I like these ideas they are a creative solution to a glaring problem, there needs to be underground threats that make living underground dangerous/hazardous.

Well.... Mining is out. lol

But really, the second idea was pretty good.

Guess it's only a matter of time before someone "need" more airborn hazards then.

so excited about the new stag. cant wait :apathy: :crushed: :crushed:

Flying cows. Problem solved.

Or chickens with choppers.

Sorry Gazz. Madmole already said that there are no cows allowed in the game.

Chickens with choppers??? What would that even look like? lol

MM said no cows, indeed. He didn`t say anything about flying cows.

Btw, do you remember the sharknado, where Joel tested it and laughed ? This was fun )

I don't know I kind of like that underground is a bit safe. Mining is tedious and having to worry about hazards while doing it would be a real pain, and you need those resources. Also, if you want to get creative it's a great place for it. My friend made this huge underground city. First, he carved out a huge cavern then build a hotel, bar, houses, stores, and so on. It was spectacular. He even brought in water made a underground lake with a couple boats on it. Plus, he had a highway underground connecting it to other places like traders, his base, and killing ground (took him months). For testing things out and just having fun building underground is the only place in the game to do that.

That's true. He didn't say anything about flying cows! Maybe someone should tell him.

After all the reason that he was against it is he reasoned that cows were too slow to avoid zombies and would be killed off.

No I did not remember him testing the sharknado. Is there a link?

Wow, builder of the year award goes to your friend. That's impressive. You got any footage of this?

 

[emarat]

well in my defence that was over 4 months ago and no other reference to it has been mentioned. and Joel said it in passing as he entered the house.

Oh no problem. I remember a lot of things that Madmole tends to say from the videos that is why i showed it to you.

Yes there hasn't been any reference since then. Maybe in his next video, he could/will showcase it. If they even will do that for A17.

Sounds like a lot of fun. I wouldn't mind seeing some video on this.

You know if you wanted to do that on the surface without the um... distractions (zombies). Your all your friend would have to do is disable zombies on the game menu.

Welcome to the forums by the way.

From what i remember it was more of a joke back then. It was something back in A16.

I would rather have a zombienado like they had in Z Nation. At least that would fit thematically with the game.

That would be pretty awesome to see.
