I dont want longer early game make end game content

If we had the old zombie AI back, at least for horde night, I'd have a lot more reason to keep playing, because base defense wasn't really a solved problem back then. Now, it's almost impossible not to funnel the zombies easily into one place for them all to die.

I agree insofar as AI pathing, on horde nights, you should be attacked from all corners of the universe.
 
You are attacked from all corners of the universe if you're not copying the megabase builders and how they play.
Kind of. You almost have to build a base specifically to get attacked from all sides. No way to reach you or the same paths from all directions. It doesn't have to be a megabase or any kind of meta or whatever that prevents them from attacking from all sides. If there is a path to the player on only one side, they won't normally attack from all directions unless they go into demolition mode. So you can definitely get them to attack from all sides, but it is a conscious decision to build so that happens.

Another thing that can help if you want that to happen is to damage some blocks on all sides of the base. It doesn't have to be much damage - a single hit with a stone hammer will do it. Zombies like to attack damaged blocks and may ignore a path if they find a damaged block they can attack. Having those all around a base and cause zombies to attack from all directions. Of course, they only come from one direction at a time.

Ding!

More planning than I care to do, AND, I would still know where they are going to hit.

I've had them go around my base to attack another side when there was a damaged block, though. So even though they come from one direction, they can attack from any if given incentive. :)
