PC Explain to me why should I ever build a base in PVE?

Some people (not saying you are one of them) have a strange attachment to their stuff in the game. They regularly destroy thousands of resources every time the restart the game, but get heart attacks if even one storage box ever gets destroyed by a zombie. They should make a separate home base though :smile-new:

Wait until we have tame rabbits: big sorrow when bunny will be shredded by a bear ^^.

 
I build at around 60 elevation height, make a giant pit 50x50 blocks down to bedrocks. Build 9 stilts that are 3x3 steel back to the top. Build back up to around 70 elevation. Fill out with iron spikes. Never have a problem on horde night or ever. Just have to mop up zeds that don’t die from fall and trap damage. Easy peasy.

Oh is that all you do? How do you get by with just a minimal structure on day 7?

((I'm just busting your chops))

 
You can check out my base on my PVE server voidwraith if you are interested. It’s not far from the lobby area.

Lol I built it before day 7:)

 
Once the game is finished I will build everything by hand but not until there are no more map resets. I’ve build so many huge bases that are just dead because of game changes. Sucks.

 
Undestroyable base anyone ? :fat:

One of my old bases, never to be used again. Sad.

I did build this all ligit, no creative mode.

I managed to build out a 10 story apartment building on the largest part. That was the most building I ever did on a single base. It took probably 300 hours total when I stopped playing that map.

Yes, Royal, your mod is awesome, but it's sadly just a fix for something that doesn't need to be broken at all in the first place.

i know, and it was not the reason why i made this modlet in the first line. Lets name it "a nice sideffect" that allows to build scyscrapper you thrust the foundation

 
I mean, I build wood/cobblestone bases on Survivalist for bloodmoons for the first 3 or 4 horde nights and none have even been breached. Occasionally lose a single block in the outer wall, but spikes + base works just fine. I guess if you just want a pretty house with no spikes I can see that impossible.

 
I guess the only problem is that there is a percentage of players that like to have a safe base.

And i can completly understand that TFP have problems to satisfie both sides

* One side want safe bases and say "Steel means steel means F-Off zombies"

* The other side says "Its tower defense" undestroyable blocks fit not in such a kind of game

Different to the stamina aka "World covered in glue" issue and the in a few weeks upcoming "No Falldamage"gate i can live with a "mod it" as answer

 
I mean, tower defense... is kinda in the description in the game... and the advertisements for it.. "Build and defend your home".. Not what "the other side" says, it's what the devs said was in the game. But I guess that's what modding is for, and if you prefer to be in a safe-bubble I guess the option's there and I'm glad for ya, but it doesn't mean it's "broken" heh. It's what the game is meant to be.

 
Well if 4 Zombies break tthrough a 7000 Hp Block in a few seconds it is broken for me.

But as said, its modable

Just for your info a few days ago TFP confirmed that tower defense will be optional in the future, aka people will be able to turn off blood moons etc. And yes, the game will still be called tower defense after that with the same logic it is still called "survival horde crafting game" when you can turn on godmode, turn off zombies and turn on creative menu and not have to craft at all. Game offers it all, no matter how forced or optional it is.

And just like Royal said, zombies can destroy your whole house made of wood or stone just by using fists, thats not really what it should look like anyhow. I could understand if they did this damage while holding an axe/sledgehammer (which is what zombies do in some games), but fists? Come on, fists should only allow them take off your wooden upgrades or dig through dirt and other soft materials.
