A small tower which I climb up to and then I jump 2 blocks to my platform. The entrance to this platform is off to the side. Then outside of this is an ever expanding area or wood log spikes. This platform is enclosed with doors on each side and outer lip are iron bars so again I can stand on.įor defence I like to place iron log spikes directly below me (they never get destroyed just need repairing) so I will have maybe a 6圆 or 7x7 area of these iron log spikes which eventually I upgrade to steel. In the middle (which is 3x3) are iron bars to stand on and shoot down. So I used a 5x5 platform, pillar each corner, 6 blocks up. The Z's will move to be in the same position as you so if you put a pillar in the middle and stand in the middle, they will attack that pillar as they too want to stand in the middle.įor this reason I prefer to leave the middle (where I stand) free of anything but spikes. I've seen people use mostly the ones that turn floor spikes ( the chepaer ones) but should I layer it with the other spikes as well? also will they try to attack the pillar i nthe middle where our ladders will be for entry/exit.

Any tips for how to put up defenses against zeds? we're nearing day 14 and will probably move after 14 as our current base should hold with 5+ layers of spikes for one more horde night yes thank you :) we're still at the pouring the floor stage and were thinking of this method.

The Z's will do very little damage to pillars if they are not blocking their movement to get to you.ĭue to the settings I play, during early game I use a quick and dirty 5x5 platform raised by pillars on each corner just to clear towns and that is made out of wood frames of all things, that's how little damage pilars take if they are not blocking Z movement. Originally posted by Myrkana:can we just do a base with pillars o nthe corners and the middle and not the whole centrer pieces? or will they eat at the pillars pretty quickly?ĭo you mean so that they can walk between the pillars freely and you shoot down from up top? Yes that's possible too, just have to watch your structural integrity obviously.
