Zombie Defense

They say a man's home is his castle, in this case my home is zombie proof when I play 7 Days to Die. Obviously I need to do repairs now and then after the zombies come but they don't break through a freshly maintained zombie bunker. :)

7 Days to Die

So I'm playing this zombie survival game lately and it's pretty good. The only real complaint I have about it is zombies can actually spawn almost next to you once you think you are clear. That being said it's a really fun game and takes some pages from Minecraft but in a more post zombie overrun America.

Anyhow you can build forts and things and the zombies will do their best to tear it all down and get to you. So without further ado, here's the zombie fort I have under construction.

First image is the outside of the base. Notice the spikes all around? They make great zombie stoppers, especially when you reinforce them with extra wood and scrap iron. The dis-joined bridge with a ladder is a good design because zombies can't jump even though some can climb. :)

During zombie attacks it's nice to have a garden or two to be somewhat self sustaining.

Down in the bunker part the walls are two blocks thick of reinforced concrete with rebar. You can see I've been scavenging quite a bit from the ruined cities and towns with all the filing cabinets, fridges, coolers, flat screen TVs, etc.

7 Days to Die is best played on multiplayer with friends but single player can be a real hoot too. Especially when I go on a sledge hammer/chainsaw spree with zombies. One word of warning though, mind yourself when you see the zombie German Shepherds come, they are nasty!
