PC Give me some building ideas for my current base

My hubby and I are at the Diersville hospital.

We took over the 3rd floor as our base (storage, forges, etc)

2nd floor is a no-man's land and accesses the roof over the front entrance; in front of this we have our jawoodle ramp for horde defense.

All areas from 1st floor to 2nd have been knocked out; no stairs etc. We have ladders 3 blocks off the ground for our own access. Ground/1st floor is pur open where zombies, hordes etc can and do roam. We have bars over various places for elevated killing. Bars wrapped around the entire 2nd floor for elevated killing. a cage above the front entrance. Turrets for optional extra defense of the blood moon. CCTV (mod) showing areas of ground floor. Some spikes on east and south sides to kill pesky screamers.

Interior playground and courtyard have been knocked through to make a large farm. I have a mine to bedrock tucked into one corner.

Kill ramp for BM has spinning blades around it and under the drop. Electrical wires across the ramp to slow zombies down. barred cage on top to stop them piling up and getting ONTO the ramp. It's lethal.

And now we're thinking: what next?

- turrets pointing down long corridors

- some extra CCTV cameras

- ...

We thought maybe a helicopter style pad up higher. Maybe.

But any ideas for a cool add; a nice building project?

I always find dart traps to be more of a vast sink of resources than any other trap.

I saw one that used a ramp down into some water to slow them down, fed them to the sides and around, and had electric wire and blade traps in the channel to kill them.

 
SIXTY DART TRAPS! okay, I have to see this.

I generally turn half of them off, to let some get up to the top part, just so I can watch the fun.

(then turn the second half back on and zap them all)

135k darts to fill the bloody things. Takes a while to mine that much iron, and craft them.

(I made a grand canyon mining it all)

:)

Videos should still be up on my twitch page. (same name as here)

Sunday I blew up the world (yeah, I got kinda silly there with barrels)

Cops I shoot if I see them, just to avoid their blowing up, but it's surprisingly effective.

His video had a few less (one row of 4 less). I miscounted. oops.

I have 60 traps.

If you combine them with a trip wire and electric fences, they're not quite as resource-intensive anymore.

The tripwire ensures that the dart traps only fire when a zombie is in the firing lane and the electric fence stuns the zombie so he receives more damage.

I only have 6 dart traps in my base and one blade trap. And they are very effective. To kill a gamestage 400 horde only 1500-2000 iron darts are used. That's just 1200 raw iron and 600 clay to make them.

yes indeed, I always pair my darts traps sitting above the electric fence, each with their own trip wire. That way the dart traps only fire at standing targets and not crawlers or dogs. I have separate switches for each so they can be turned as needed.
