Best Base Build For 7 Days to Die, Alpha 14!

Make sure to see the other part, where I defend it against zombies to PROVE I have the best design! Final Version Base Defense: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrpjURXbN64 In this video I showcase a base layout I've used since alpha 7, and perfected over time. This of course can be modified to suit your needs, whether you play by yourself or with friends! The materials are relatively easy to gather (iron and wood). You can always use tougher blocks if you have the resources. There is minimal monotonous labor involved, size can change, and you can decide what you want to do with the courtyard (if anything). The main building alone serves as an insanely tough fortress. In PvP servers this works well too, although you may opt to make the walls solid instead of using iron bars which can be shot and seen through from outside. In this video I have 23x35 walls, and the front of the inner building is 15 blocks wide and extends back 13. Remember, if you want to make a metal trussing overhang to make the top layer on the wall trussing as well! Attaching trussing to the side of a wood block will support a player's weight only 1 block away! The overhang should be high enough up off the ground that zombies can't hit it from below the outside of the wall. I would recommend digging up the area you plan to build the compound on and replacing the dirt/sand/pavement with wood blocks which will show damage if the zombies tunnel under you. Never EVER dig pits around your bases or else zombies will fall in and (literally) undermine you! It sucks. Drop a Like or leave a Comment for suggestions and/or your experiences with this layout!

1. Hey thanks for sharing this! I love to see the methods and pick up tips and tricks. I had a few thoughts! I recently have been testing using Poles horizontally rather than the bars (on the 2nd block) You can upgrade to concrete AND can still loot or repair up to 2 blocks out without having to leave. This also lets you use blunt weapons. I tested a bit and looks good so far other than crawlers I think can get through. If this method works out properly you can eliminate the vault hatch to open and close that door on your inner fight area. Other thought was about the vault hatch on second floor. Consider replacing the blocks around it with grate or bar so that in that rare 1% chance you have enemies down there you can clear them. Personally i never have a bottom bock to any ladder and destroy all bottom blocks i find. you never know when you will wish you had haha As I am minimalist I try to find the resource effective and smallest ways to deal with things. Seems to me the smallest fighting area such that your walls create would be 5x5 interior (6x6 wall) room for center post ladder and people to move around. I tried 3x3 strutures but .. well lol I can't back away from them and it cant accomodate friends. Anyway sorry to be so long winded but I love this game.
2. How the fuck are you only on day 4? XD
3. first off how did you get a black couch in there i can get them im on console idk if that effects it and how do i get a big tv
4. Couldn't watch you jerk and spin that camera around anymore.
5. there is no way you did this by day 4!
6. how does the launching work? i cant recreat it
7. I am getting it this Xmas for ps4 pro
8. all ready did :) :) I made some thing like it with my friends but I didn't know how to make a mini bike
9. is this created in creative mode cause you haven't crafted a stone axe PS I can't say anything I love creative mode PPS I love the creation it and it won't collapse
10. You did a really great job on this, I know it must have taken a long time to finish it. But you have given me some great ideas..
11. what location is this in?
12. why no spicks
13. Zombies will just break in
14. this game is bs to hard
15. Use Pillar 50 instead of iron bars. The zombies cannot walk through them but you are able to hit them and the pillars can be upgraded to steel so they are much stronger. The pillars also allow you to drive through them while riding a minibike.
16. How did you dig that ocean entrance/escape?
17. How do you do that bucket of water thing?!?!
    Just find a bucket?
    fill it with water?
    and then "place it" (L2 on ps4) on the hole?!
    Dude your base is drool worthy , you are in inspiration.
18. shit for pvp
19. my base is better
20. What do you use to record?
