My friend Dylan has been hard at work in 7 Days to Die. Every time he logs on, he sends out a text to me and his progeny that the server is up and ready to rock. It's been a busy week, and I haven't been able to log on and play with him as much as I would like to, but when I did finally log on this weekend, WHOA, these guys (and specifically Dylan) had been hard at work.
I quickly jumped on the bandwagon and started reading a bunch of tech books and wiring manuals so I could try and catch up on my skills as "the intellect gal."
I was unable to lock my second rank in shock baton and learn the basics of making a few things in the workbench like my old favorite . . . the punchy turret! Dylan had never really used the punchy turret, so I introduced him to its awesomeness while we delved into a rank 3 mine and then later at the base.
He liked punchy so much that we incorporated it into our base defense design because here's the thing, he had been holding back the blood moon with server controls. He did that because he wanted to have as many people logged on and playing when it happened.
So our first blood moon last night was 24 days in instead of 7 days, and MAN, it felt like we had been holding back a giant poop of zombies. there were spitters and vultures and leapers and all manner of nastiness in this blood moon. It felt WAY worse than our "first" blood moon.
As it turns out we had been worried we were over-prepared for the night, but we had prepared just about right. They did break through a weak point in our defenses by going under a wall, but none of us died. We did go through a ton of ammo though.
The punchy sledgehammers worked great until the zombies toppled the steps they were sitting on top of. All in all, it was a pretty great night of intense action in 7 Days to Die.
Happy Dueling!

I wasn't originally keen on the Robotic Sledge (or any turrets) when they were first introduced, as I felt like they either didn't do much, or took away precious XP when they DID kill something. But after trying them out a few more times, the Robotic Sledge in particular became one of my favorite items in 7D2D. The ragdolling is just hilarious every time it happens, and I absolutely build my base concepts around zombies being pushed off things for comedic (and pacing) effects.
Yeah! The ragdolling is half the fun! I haven't been a fan of the other turrets. They seemed to have inconsistent results for me and couldn't keep up. I need to look at them again for kicks. I really love electric fences though. Haha
