Etsamaru Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I really enjoy the idea of putting stakes in the ground at 45 degree's, sharpened sticks jammed into the ground for zombies to get stuck on. Then you can go up to them and finish them off. You could have them break once in a while so you would have to replace them every so often. It would be really cool to have them around your base. You could use a knife on logs to carve stakes, then you would have to dig a hole and put them in the hole. hyperchondriac, Bughunter66, Demonic_Kat and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okamikurainya Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 This would be a very good idea, especially with animations on the horizon. It would be cool if when the stakes broke to see a zombie walking around with it still jammed through it. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kitteh Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Do the zombies walk fast enough to get impaled? And would they get impaled from wandering about without stimulus? For the stimulus, this is basically the difference between a passive defense (pick up zombies that wander to near your base), and active defense (helping combat a sieging horde). If speed matters for how impaled they get, then this'd be a funny defense against sprinters who'd probably disembowel themselves on the spikes. Also, as for how sharp it is. Maybe in the future, a metal worker can make a sharp metal cap for the spike. Okamikurainya 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okamikurainya Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Quote Do the zombies walk fast enough to get impaled? And would they get impaled from wandering about without stimulus? I think it has more to do with the zombie's unrelenting application of pressure. Quote For the stimulus, this is basically the difference between a passive defense (pick up zombies that wander to near your base), and active defense (helping combat a sieging horde). To balance it, I don't think this could ever kill the zombie. The zombie gets hooked and begins damaging the spike before eventually breaking free. Maybe have the chance to turn it into a crawler? It would be pretty useless against a horde, it would just keep a bunch of them in place for a bit rather than truly dealing with them. As a passive defense against wandering zombies it would be great, they get hooked and you can go pick them off.
