| 9x9 Horde Base Tower Tutorial (For Beginners!) Posted: 14 Apr 2020 08:30 PM PDT  | https://preview.redd.it/3q69bx6aiws41.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=1316442da2b7702ed6d7fa03a4154f485907d4d7 So you're new to 7 Days to Die and you want to know how to fight off the first blood moon hordes. While there are many ways to go about this, one of the simplest and cheapest structures a new player could erect is the humble 9x9 tower. Take a chair and have a seat follower, I'll show you the tricks up my sleeve. - You're going to want to start off by digging a 9x9x1 square pit into the ground with your shovel. It should look like this: https://imgur.com/oVTGIOQ
- Now wipe the sweat off your brow and put away that spade. It's building time. Fill in the 9x9 hole with flagstone, and upgrade the two outer layers with cobblestone rocks to cobblestone. You'll see why in a minute. https://imgur.com/5MqZUiE
- Next you're going to erect the two outside layers five blocks high to form the lower base of the tower. Be sure to place and upgrade the corner blocks to cobblestone first, for you won't be able to reach the innermost corner blocks once the walls are in place. https://imgur.com/2W4xAS7
- Nerdpole your way inside the base of your tower and choose one corner for your ladder system to go. Place wooden ladders and a hatch on top. On top of what, you might ask? Why, a ceiling of course! (Just be sure to leave a spot open in the ceiling for where the ladder shaft will go.) https://imgur.com/hnner70
- With the necessary blocks now in place, make your way up the ladder and emerge on to your new second floor. This is where you will make two layers of wood bars placed sideways going all the way around the tower, 5 blocks above the ground; making it two blocks across will lessen the chance of you falling. Add protrusions along the corners to stand on and allow you toss throwables down at the zombies below, like molotovs or pipe bombs. (Be sure you're using wood bars and not wood bars centered!) You can upgrade these to iron bars in the future when resources permit. https://imgur.com/hILSfGQ
- Now it's time to get the third and final story started. Erect 5 block high walls around the edge of the second floor. These don't need to be double thick since the brunt of the zombies' attacks will come from ground level. Leave a spot open on one side to put in a door later on, and spaces for windows in the locations shown, mirrored across all four sides. https://imgur.com/HqMBvJH
- Run along the bars and place sideways-facing poles (not poles centered!) upwards of the window holes. Attach hatches to these poles so that they open upwards, as shown here. Replicate this on all four sides. You can upgrade the hatches later. https://imgur.com/LTujYcD
- Head back on inside and install a door and wooden bars placed furthest away from the player along each square window, as shown in the image. Now would be a good time to add the roof above, but again leave room for another ladder shaft. https://imgur.com/5AePYCK
- While you're at it, place a lip that circumferences the tower on the same elevation as the floor above. On the underside of this lip, place flagstone arch 2m all the way around as shown in the image. https://imgur.com/XplV7ft
- Next, raise a wall two blocks high around the very rim of the top of the tower, and place additional blocks to form a parapet with gaps, forming as the castle battlement. How could one not appreciate a medieval aesthetic touch? Prior to this, adding in second ladder system and a hatch would probably be a good idea! https://imgur.com/7gAnPLc
- You remember the ladder shaft on the one side of the ground floor? Knock out the flagstone block placed at the bottom of the ladder shaft and dig a 1x1 pit down. I chose mine to be 9 blocks deep, with the back edge of stone knocked out and replaced with flagstone to support an extension of the ladder system above. You'll also have to knock out the bottom-most ladder on the ground floor to place in an additional hatch. This is going to serve as the entrance/exit of your tower base. https://imgur.com/KeLriYH
- Climb down to the bottom of the ladder and mine a straight tunnel three blocks high and as far as you care to go. I chose my tunnel to be 24 blocks in length. https://imgur.com/1I5tqTw
- Once you've mined out a sizable tunnel, dig straight up and break in to the surface. Place another wall of blocks on the back side where you will attach a ladder shaft leading up to the surface. You'll want to make this entrance/escape hatch visible, so construct some sort of simple structure that easily stands out. https://imgur.com/YcobmYy
- Now it is time to place the defenses. At this point in the game (day 7-14), you should have a forge going and a fair bit of forged iron produced. Use a portion of this forged iron to craft iron spikes, and use them to surround the base of your tower. I made my single row of spikes two blocks in height, to prevent most zombies from jumping on top of them. If you don't have access to iron spikes, wood spikes and/or barbed wire fences will do for the first couple of hordes, but be sure to place a far greater quantity of them! https://imgur.com/mqGINXj
- There's no point fighting the horde if you can't see the gun right in front of your face. Place some torches around the structure, inside and out, to give you the necessary light levels to face the horde comfortably. If you're concerned about screamers possibly showing up due to the torches, consider turning up your gamma instead, or simply remove some of the torches. https://imgur.com/pDb0uj3
- You're all done! The majority of this tower should be possible for you to construct for the day 7 horde, and as long as you continue to use it, be sure to make appropriate upgrades, such as upgrading the rest of the flagstone to cobblestone, and then the cobblestone to concrete and then reinforced concrete. This design is only intended to do well against the first few hordes on its own, but with the right additions and modifications, it could certainly take you into the late-game, assuming you haven't constructed a much more foreboding base elsewhere by then! https://imgur.com/avRWsp4

| I need help set up the game for solo play on ps4. Posted: 14 Apr 2020 04:26 PM PDT Hey, I need some help getting done the right settings to make the game more balanced for solo play on ps4. I already searched in the internet but couldn't find anything. Before I'm gonna try out different settings (I wanna play and not mess around) I thought I'm gonna ask players that know more about the game. Thanks submitted by /u/Krykox [link] [comments] |
| Basic Pole Horde Base Tutorial (For Beginners!) Posted: 14 Apr 2020 10:04 PM PDT  | https://preview.redd.it/olhawkbxvws41.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=15c061c521dbe955a70bda10fd85b47d566abff6 So you're new to 7 Days to Die and you want to know how to fight off the first few blood moon hordes. While there are many ways to go about this, one of the simplest and cheapest structures a new player could construct is the humble pole centered base. Take a chair and have a seat follower, I'll show you the tricks up my sleeve. Disclaimer: Make sure you use poles centered instead of regular poles; when placed horizontally, regular poles take 6x more damage from zombies than any other block. This is currently not the case for pole centered. - To start with, grab your shovel and dig a 13x13x1 square pit in the ground. When you're done, it should look like this: https://imgur.com/eNVRtto
- Next you're going to want to fill in the foundation with blocks. Have the two outer rows be 1/2 blocks, the next 2 rows be full blocks, the following two inner rows be 1/2 blocks, and the centerpiece be a full block. https://imgur.com/6azIeGH
- Using Advanced Rotation on the 1/2 blocks, you're going to want to construct 2 sets of 3 block tall "pillars" along all four corners. Having these be full blocks will not allow you to shoot zombies through them, but the 1/2 blocks will come with gaps in between them. https://imgur.com/xlI4Che
- Following the inner "pillars" of 1/2 blocks, construct a ceiling using full blocks above. Erect the block in the very center, forming a pillar to match the elevation of the second floor, and leave a gap on one side for a ladder shaft to subsequently be placed. Place a hatch on top of the ladder shaft. https://imgur.com/OCxa0aS
- Along the inner rim of the structure, place vertical poles that form a set of "bars". While the player can walk through these easily, note that the zombies can as well! Replicate this design on all four sides. https://imgur.com/jPbMWLo
- Along the outer 1/2 block "pillars", place horizontal poles connecting them. These will keep the zombies out, so long as you frequently repair the damage! Remember that if the zombies break in, you'll have to bail. Wrap this design along on all four sides. https://imgur.com/EQYvV3y
- Climb to the top of the structure and place a rim of wooden or iron bars surrounding the perimeter shape of the base. Place guardrails along the edges, since you'll be only extending the bars out one block, but leave space for extensions placed along the corners. Standing on these extended bars will give you a better angle at hitting the zombies with throwables like molotovs and pipe bombs. https://imgur.com/4AFdWyZ
- And you're done! The purpose of this design is to be simple, easy to construct, cost effective, and be durable enough to withstand the zombies for a decent amount of time. Be sure to upgrade this base to steel eventually, and feel free to construct several identical structures of this type, connected by bridges or underground tunnels, as a series of back-ups. https://imgur.com/N56eoaD
The benefit of the inner ring of vertical poles is you can get better shots on the zombies while also allowing you to administer repairs in those tough to reach spots. Take a look! https://imgur.com/dzoYmJJ As an added benefit, look how far you can reach zombie loot bags! https://imgur.com/19rBOry (Note: I am aware they are weathered sports bags. Get off my back. :P) To use this base most effectively, shoot at the zombies from within (staying crouched) and toss throwables when a group becomes too overwhelming. Another option would be to simply shift your position to another side of the base; the zombies should follow you around. Repair the damaged blocks frequently to avoid a breach.

| Similar to 7DTD on XboxOne? Posted: 14 Apr 2020 07:03 PM PDT My roommate loves 7 Days to Die but is a pretty strict console player. Also, he has probably spent about 10,000 hours on Ark. So the one option I had is out the window. What are some other games on XboxOne that are similar? submitted by /u/panne_lara [link] [comments] |
| POI Lights Posted: 14 Apr 2020 11:11 AM PDT Was playing around in creative mode. Lights marked with the POI tag says they don't need to be connected with electricity, and that you can just turn them on or off by pressing and holding E. It doesn't work though. I press and hold E like something is supposed to happen, and it looks like something IS supposed to? Like the curser changes to a pointed arrow, but no option to turn on or off the lights happen.
I would be satisfied with the answer 'there's nothing you can do about it', but I don't really know, as I haven't found any clear or well written answers from what I've searched. I don't mind using the other lights, where you do have to set up wiring and stuff, but like come on, the POI lights are so much cooler. Street lamp, the cool retro looking headlights. That red light would be awesome if it worked too. Does anyone share my pain or have any easy answers that aren't over complicated? I don't build computers, I don't code games...just wanna make a cool looking fortress with my friends! submitted by /u/Lina-Buns [link] [comments] |

| Looking at getting 7d2d Posted: 14 Apr 2020 06:56 AM PDT I've watched some youtubers playing and I think I want to try the game, but I'm curious about a few things. They always have huge, elaborate bases -- is this needed? Can I just fortify a house or build something thats reasonable without seemingly gaming the AI/Pathing, or do they just destroy your base then? I want to feel like im defending something, without feeling like I have to do something unrealistic/break the game to do so. Secondly, how long does everyone play in each play through until they feel like theyve... completed it for that run/patch? submitted by /u/Arkaingate [link] [comments] |
| MSI GeForce GTX 770 and 7dtd? Posted: 14 Apr 2020 04:51 AM PDT Hi, I'm new to PC gaming and I'm looking to buy a PC with a sole purpose to play 7dtd. My question is, can I play the game with the aforementioned graphics card? submitted by /u/jhkl17 [link] [comments] |
| Building Blocks Posted: 14 Apr 2020 07:36 AM PDT I just started playing 7dtd (PC) yesterday and it is very fun, though hard for my first few tries. Now I'm trying to make a base, but I do not know any good materials for bases other than flagstone and concrete. I am asking help for what building blocks are great for bases in early game up until the late weeks. Maybe you can also type how to get those, and how easy or insane it is to get. Please help me :/ submitted by /u/ToastWithNaomi [link] [comments] |
