PC The Best Defense is _________

I found that the best defense is... well a fence. If you surround your base with a regular fence that faces inwards (the fence itself is rotated closest to your base) the zombies have a hard time clearing it. I have found that the fence being single block high doesn't get destroyed and on day 7 I typically have only 1-2 zombies clear it. I think they don't jump it because the zombie is standing in the square that the fence is in and they don't register the fence being there. The zombies that crawl don't climb it or attack it either. (I don't it a bug, rather I call it exploitation of programming)

So I just let them walk/run up against the fence on day 7 and hit them one at a time just out of their reach. Fences are cheap and easy to build compared to spikes and other defense that I have seen.

What are some other unusual defenses that you all use?

Interesting "exploit" Chakan13. I'll have to try this out.

I built what I call the "shark cage". It consists of the concrete or cobblestone wedge tips for the base perimeter, about a 5x5 space. Then put iron bars 2 high stacked on the wedges.

This looks funny because the iron bars are suspended in mid air but the game recognizes it as a block as well as the wedge tips so there's a sizable gap however no crawlers or spiders can get thru.

Then I top it off with a scrap metal roof. It has a perfect overhang that prevents spiders from getting on top.

Now I've dug out a tunnel underneath & made a hatch to come up from under & also at another time made a hatch access on the roof. Both work pretty well.

I like this design, makes horde nights fun

 
A lot of the times, the best defense is to just avoid them completely. Often times you can predict the next horde spawn and just have them GPS over to a random area and just leave that area before they see you, completely avoiding a battle.

That’s a complete waste of exp, though.
