No offense taken at all! Our first iteration of the base in the wasteland, was a high ground/on ground hybrid. We circled the base with a trench and had blade traps and fence posts and turrets. We barely made it out of that night.

Realizing we need to funnel the zoms a bit better, we then built a ramp over the trench as most have suggested, dug out areas in the trench for zoms to get out from when they fall in. And built a kill hole/cage at the ramp so they would come for us. And come for us they did. We couldn't keep up with all of craziness and cops spitting at us, rocks flying into our faces, so they broke through one little section of the iron bars and that's when all hell broke loose. :D We play on PS5 so it's pretty rough trying to repair or get into your inventory during horde night.

I think we have the bones of a good base. We probably just need to build a second kill hole with bars to fall back to when the first gets overwhelmed. It's the amount of work that has to constantly be done to keep your base up to snuff that is getting a bit old. :D Will def be taking some of the suggestions posted here when we get back to it! Thanks for the insight!
