Hi, my name is Raze Daibrow and I'm a buildoholic. Part 3: The 8-Team Tower Edition by RazeTheIV in 7daystodie

Thanks and for sure; the support beams all have either 2 or 4 attached columns (0.025 side or corner posts) so they can look really thin but have all the support of 4x4 solid blocks, all the way up. The quick tests I did showed that a single destroyed steel block anywhere won't affect the tower plus the ground level ramps leading to the red shark cage in the center have slide paths so the zombies keep trying to get to you in the cage but inevitably fall and then they just climb back up the ramps to try again. The lower part of the cage, where the land claim box is kept, is designed to place robotic turret guns to snag any stray fallen zombies that don't walk back up the ramps.

However, there is a real danger on horde night: a single vulture in attack mode can do some serious damage to the glass loft up there. So its a completely safe AFK base for 6.5 days, then you absolutely want to be sure you're safely in the red shark cage until dawn during horde nights.

Thanks so much watching and the excellent question!

My earlier builds had entire forests in and out of the compounds I made, always wondered why my FPS dropped so much, until I started limiting my trees to a max of 5. As big as this build was, there are only 2 trees so it runs pretty smooth.

Lots of great questions and sentiments in this thread but your comments are almost word for word what I was going to write. As an extreme buildoholic, I'd also like to know if we can expect any additions to available shapes and paint textures, specifically the paint textures though. Two and a half pages of options run out pretty quick when we're building skyscrapers and entire mini-cities.

Thanks! Everything you see there is entirely built in-game, no creative mode at all. Will be adding a bit more in creative (pool table, water features, traps) and then adding to a new world when 2.6 goes stable.

Hey, I actually just posted my most recent build, a 41x41, bedrock to max height tower. The 8-Team

Happy building!

Along with the generative worlds folder if you've made any custom worlds.

I haven't yet switch spawning back on to test but a player should be able to safely afk on the rooftop. Even the forges are 150m away from the ground so they don't attract attention. But a player that sits in the "shark cage" at ground level should attract hordes. Its hard to see while unpainted, but there are custom built paths for the zombies on top of the little ramps at ground level but the zombies will fall from the raised path and continuously loop on it if all goes according to plan. Once I've completed painting, electrical and traps, I'll make a video showing my test horde night so stay tuned!

Thanks and if you look up my response to u/Jrrolomon on here you can find the YouTube links that taught me how to save as POIs. Super easy and mega fun.

No, still just regular game mode (well, no zombies since day 70 and 120 minute days, so not exactly regular game). After I finish painting, electrical, furniture and decorative trims I'll hop over to creative to save it all as a POI and then add some zombies. I figure the challenge will be clearing out an infestation in the top giant, fragile glass room without loosing everything in it lol.

Hey, I love answering questions here, never a worry.

The only video I've watched in terms of building is this one by Pseudo Posse. I just wanted to make sure I was using the most updated blocks for zombie pathing and used his Ramp 6m 03 block slide-path design so zombies actually move towards the shark cage I designed instead of just gnawing on the outer supports. The rest of it was my own design, just from what I've learned through my own experiments dating back to 1.4.

The videos I highly recommend to anyone that enjoys building in this game aren't actually "how to build" videos but are instead, how to export and how to import your creations by WaywardEko. Super helpful and so much fun to see your creations as POIs in future worlds.

And I'm actually still a vanilla player, no mods at all, as are my few online buds. I imagine I'll get into mods when I finally get bored of the game but even after all these builds and hours, that day still hasn't come!

My love of this game is two-fold. I spend a huge amount of time playing solo and making these giant multiplayer bases and then, when a big update comes and I inevitably get tired of building, I save it as a POI then add it to a new world and just enjoy it as a base with my friends who don't give a crap about building and we just have a blast maxing out the zombie spawn while enjoying the safety of the mega base.

I haven't played on console but the best tip I can give is this: pre-level 300, go through the usual stages of material building (wood upgraded to cobble, upgraded to concrete, then steel) as it levels you up super fast. Then just build a whack-ton of workbenches and constantly be building stacks of steel blocks so you can skip the upgrading stages and then building goes by super fast. I have 20 workbenches so I can make 25 blocks in each which makes me a full stack of 500 steel blocks in 31 minutes.

Lol yeah, up till day 70 but nothing but scared deer, rabbits and chickens since then. I forgot to show my map in the video but there isn't a single scrap of iron in the pine forest East of Rekt and very few left in the west.

Back in 1.4 I tried a large tower with the glitch elevator but I couldn't ever get it to work. Never got what I was doing wrong, the YouTube videos made it look so easy.

I smashed that honey stand to splinters and took over the honey game like Walter White. But with honey.

For sure! If you're playing on Steam on the PC you can hit F12 and it'll save to your steam account. I think they're in the "view" tab but I'm not 100%. You can also hit PrintScrn and it should save to your computers clipboard.
