Introduction

Welcome back to another episode of horde-based testing! In this episode, We Are going to return to the horde-based testing format after a brief deviation in the previous episodes. If You haven't already, be sure to check out the previous episodes for some interesting materials testing. In this episode, we will be focusing on a particular base design that I came across online. This design is a variation of the floating base concept that I showcased in my very first episode. So, let's dive into the details and see how this base design performs.

Overview of Horde-based Testing

Before we jump into the specifics of the base design, let's have a brief overview of horde-based testing. Horde-based testing is a popular approach in survival games like 7 Days to Die. It involves creating a base or structure to withstand hordes of zombies and testing its effectiveness against various scenarios. The goal is to build a base that can efficiently defend against zombie attacks while allowing the player to safely engage with the horde.

Previous Materials Test

In the previous episodes, I conducted some materials tests to evaluate the durability of different blocks and materials against zombie attacks. These tests provided valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of various building materials. If you're interested in learning more about materials testing, I highly recommend checking out those episodes.

Introduction to the Base Design

The base design I'll be discussing in this episode is inspired by a YouTube video recommendation. It is essentially a variation of the floating base concept. In the floating base design, a solid block is placed on top of pillars, creating a space underneath. The AdVantage of this design is that zombies cannot reach the player on the floating base, making it an effective defensive strategy. However, there are some concerns about the surface area for zombies to stand and beat on.

Comparison with Floating Base

The main difference between the base design I'm showcasing and the traditional floating base is the use of dome corners. The floating base relies on a solid block, while the new design incorporates dome corners placed strategically in the corners of the base. The addition of dome corners reduces the surface area for zombies to stand and beat on, potentially improving the overall effectiveness of the base.

Pros:

• Reduced surface area for zombies to target
• Improved structural stability

Cons:

• Additional materials and effort required for dome corners
• Limited space for the player to move within the base

Building the Base

To build the base, start by placing the dome corners in the corners of the base. These dome corners should be placed one block above and opposite each other. This creates an interconnected space that zombies can't access, while still allowing the player to move freely. The dome corners can be made of concrete or upgraded to forged steel for increased durability. Additionally, the placement of traps, such as electric fences, can further enhance the defensive capabilities of the base.

Testing the Base Design

In order to test the effectiveness of the base design, I conducted several experiments. By simulating horde nights and observing the behavior of the zombies, I was able to evaluate the base's defensive capabilities. The results were highly promising, with the zombies having difficulty accessing the player and taking minimal damage to the base structure. The base design effectively prevented the zombies from attacking the blocks, resulting in a successful defense.

Results of the Test

The test results clearly demonstrated the effectiveness of the base design. The dome corners significantly reduced the surface area for zombies to attack, making it harder for them to breach the defenses. The base structure remained stable throughout the test, with minimal damage to the blocks. This design showcased a vast improvement over the previous floating base concept, providing better protection for the player and the base itself.

Expanding on the Base Design

Building on the success of the initial base design, it is possible to expand and modify the structure to Create a taller and more intricate defense system. By adding additional dome corners and connecting them vertically, it is theoretically possible to create an infinite tower-like structure. This expansion offers potential benefits such as increased visibility and better positioning for the player to engage with the horde.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the base design showcased in this episode proved to be a highly effective and efficient defensive strategy against hordes of zombies. The incorporation of dome corners reduced the target surface area for zombies, while maintaining the structural integrity of the base. Additional tests and variations can be explored to further optimize the design. Overall, this base design shows great potential for players looking to survive and thrive in the face of zombie hordes.

Highlights:

• Horde-based testing is an effective approach to evaluate defensive strategies.
• The base design incorporates dome corners for improved defense.
• The base design outperforms the traditional floating base concept.
• Expanding and modifying the base design offers further opportunities for optimization.

FAQ:
