    Fun fact: With two blade traps stacked, one hitting the legs/crawler/dog block and one at the head block, the game is rather over. They eat EVERYTHING.
    Edit: I locked the ammo.

    If I could stop backing into my own iron spike traps while doing repairs after horde night, that would be nice. It's not like the damage matters, it's just so annoying when that sound reminds me I've been an idiot. AGAIN.

    A note: wood spikes are a relatively inexpensive, low-profile way to deal with screamers coming to check out your early-game heat generation. They'll prevent you having to risk an approach that would cause the screamer to aggro and summon backup.

    I locked the ammo.
    I will always lock the ammo.
    If I'm unsure I locked the ammo, I will spend time making sure I locked the ammo.
    I will double check all turrets/dart traps 3 times (for a total of 6) to make sure I have LOCKED THE AMMO before horde nights.
    That situation will never happen to me again :x
    I tend to use the gun turrets as almost... 'Ambush traps' in my "Doom Arena" horde nights; setting up about 5-7 along the side of a path (and if I'm feeling extra cheeky, on the ceiling for giggles). Letting them get a dozen shots off while I'm stacking up on ammo, doing repairs, or healing some wounds. Effective? Not terribly. They help, but that's about it. I used them mostly because I kept finding them around and playing with them, just adding them to the 'arena' batch by batch and soon enough there were turrets around nearly every corner :x But the SMG turrets do feel better overall, I just kept finding more shotgun turrets and more shotgun ammo than I could ever use.

    I will remember that the lock ammo button is key, but forget whether locked means "the ammo is locked up and can't be used" or "locked and loaded, ready to go" until the zombies swarm past it unmolested.

    Dart trap and single wire across walkway is my go-to economic horde base setup, at least for first few ones. Wire stuns them so the darts get a guaranteed hit, saving you the precious gun ammo or in-case your don't have adequate guns for a horde.

    I wish there was a way to tap into the "what the turret camera sees" without having to stand right next to it. Like those Ring(tm) doorbells that let you see who is there while you are deep underground in your bunker.

  • @shivurr9714
    @shivurr9714 11 місяців тому +2

    shotgun turrets in my experience work best at the opposite end of a very tight (like 3 blocks long) killbox set-up, blasting them in the back, and linked to a plate or wire because their targeting likes to get weird sometimes and try to shoot through walls, you can also reach it if you forget to lock the ammo :)

    I use a shotgun turret tied to a single trigger plate in front of the door of my bridge base. It is off to the right and my final door defense, aside from myself. My steps to the bridge hook off to the left and back towards my tower. I fight on the left side, so sometimes get distracted and don't watch the door. For zombies to get through the door they have to get past two sledge turrets (yes, robotics inventor is maxed out) and the shotgun turret.
    On the back of my tower I have another incomplete bridge and steps with one block left out, guarded by two shotgun turrets. Those turrets are turned off by a switch until needed. The idea there is if the front bridge and/or steps get destroyed, I can put in the single block in and coax the zombie pathing that way. I don't want them to start trying to destroy my tower.

  • @DaxMarko
    @DaxMarko Рік тому +5

    I'm not sure if there were recent changes to the spike traps, but last time I've played, zombies may climb on top of them and scale up the walls they normally couldn't. So that's something I'd give caution to when placing them.

    • @silverjohn6037
      @silverjohn6037 Рік тому

      Having a set of bars from the wood frames block, set on their side so they project overtop of the spike traps, seems to protect against that. The zombies will occasionally beat on the walls but don't beat up against the bars. I also set two traps, one over top of the other against the wall rather than in front of each other on the ground so that they last a little longer.

    I dunno about shottie turrets. Even in shottie builds, i tend to have a really bad surplus of ammo. Find the turrets also need less refilling than the smg ones, despite the shotties burst fire.
    Also i find the shottie turret a better like, " a home defense i can forget about" kinda thing. Having one or two is fairly cheap by the door and saves me time from killing stragglers and crawlers who follow me back from doing clears and supply quests when i live in the city

  • @phoenixdragon3580
    @phoenixdragon3580 6 місяців тому

    See, I made what I like to call the "Pit of Death" I basically surrounded my base that I built from the ground up with a 3 wide 4 deep trench that fits (I think) 44 blade traps on the floor around my base. I've also put them on the outer wall of the trench, and I'm in the process of putting them in the inner wall of the trench as well. I have a couple issues with the blade traps though. One, they break way too easily, and the zombies can just sit on the ones on the wall and hit them WHILE THEY ARE RUNNING. So my first change would be to have at least vertically oriented ones ragdoll the zombies easier so they can't just sit on them and destroy them. Secondly, they don't have nearly enough durability. I'm on day 80 rn, and halfway through horde night several of them broke, so I had to jump down into the pit, fix them while getting hit by zombies and my own traps, then barely make it back out of the pit just to keep them running and stop the zombies from fully breaking them. Lastly, WHY THE HECK ARE THEY SO FREAKING EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR? just fixing one of them from 250 hp costs like, 10 forged steel, and yes I have advanced engineering. It costs 10 forged steel to make a 10000 HP steel block. To fix my entire trench, I'm spending about 300 forged steel. That doesn't even account for if they broke fully. My point is, I feel like the blade traps don't really work as well as they should for what I believe is a perfectly reasonable use for them. I would increase their hp to 5000, but keep the max repair cost to 10 forged steel. Doesn't seem like as much of a ripoff then.

    I actually use the lock/unlock ammo to turn my turrets on and off during horde night. I've got a master power button at my horde base, and the turrets are always hot when that's on. I'll generally shoot things myself for max XP until I start seeing demolition zeds, and then I'll turn on the turrets to take care of the big boys since they never set them off.
    I prefer the SMG turrets too, so I end up with a bunch of shotgun turrets after doing a few tier5 POI's. I'll set those up on the grounds around my base to help take care of wandering hordes. I have them about 10m away from the walls, pointing inwards so they'll start shooting anything that gets close.

    I use shotgun turrets if I find them, either for anti-air or for door defense: a shotgun next to your base door is an effective point defense against unwanted visitors. Typically I'll stick to SMG turrets for horde base or a more general (aka anti-screamer) perimeter defense.
    A very important note: dart traps won't set off demos. Also I think it was JaWoodle who experimented and found that the dart traps have a range of 32.

    I'd love to see a video about how each trap can be optimized on bases. Take the common base styles (turtle base, elivated base, elivated turtle base, elivated corridor base etc), and go over how each trap can be placed/used optimally, and how base designs can incorporate trap repairs/reloads and maximize damage to zombies.
    Love your videos!

    Shotgun turrets are okay for anti-air, but not as good as SMG turrets.
    Shotgun turrets are best as a close-range base security system. My favorite use is to have them pointing at whichever door the zombies like to smash, so they're getting a shotgun in the back while they attack my door. To keep that turret safe, I elevate it on a concrete post, or build a mini-bunker around it with an iron hatch for maintenance.
