Day 35 is behind us—and for the first time in a while, it wasn’t a disaster. We handled the Day 35 Horde without breaking a sweat, reinforced both horde bases, and even squeezed in a risky trader road trip trying to buy a beaker or chemistry station outright. Trader Jen and two Trader Bobs came up empty… so now it’s time to take matters into our own hands. This stream is all about progression and expansion. Instead of gambling on trader RNG, we’re heading downtown to tackle a Tier 5 Pop-N-Pills in hopes of pulling a beaker straight from loot. At the same time, we’re upgrading quality-of-life around the base—finishing the garage, adding a second ramp to streamline loot drops, and roofing the garden as part of a larger crafting area build-out. We’ll also be questing hard to push progression: • Rifle magazines to unlock a proper sniper rifle • Vehicle magazines to finally move toward a gyrocopter • More trader quests to keep momentum rolling Check Out the Full Playthrough: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDRZ6PYEiJSK-Sb6OGIvoAlYKoeyjqQI8 Help Support Me! ✨ Patreon || https://www.patreon.com/waywardeko 🚨 Merch || https://waywardeko-shop.fourthwall.com 💀 7DTD Server || https://frag.gs/eko Community: 🎮 Discord || https://discord.gg/YhQwdtWW5p 📱 Twitter || https://twitter.com/WaywardEko 🟣 Twitch || https://www.twitch.tv/waywardeko Building & Horde Base Tutorials: ⚒ https://youtu.be/H-v0oR6b1Rk ⚒ https://youtu.be/jEMnP7sHEzo ⚒ https://youtu.be/Bv4Lk7UkkV4 ⚒ https://youtu.be/D3K_oTpq3BI Charity: 💙 ExtraLife || https://www.extra-life.org/participant/Eko Music & Graphics 🎵 Music & SFX from Storyblocks.com 🎵 Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio 🎨 Design & Art Support | Mumpfy | mumpfy.myportfolio.com/ ________________________________________ #7daystodie #tfpcreator #7daystodie2.5 #ZombieSurvival #HordeBase #SurvivalGames #BaseBuilding #TipsAndTricks
Traders Failed: Raiding Tier 5 Pop-N-Pills for a Beaker
This is NOT one horde base… it’s TWO 2.5 kill towers running off a single brain. Tonight we’re in the final hours before Day 35, and this is our last chance to fortify the dual 2.5 horde bases so they don’t collapse when the zombies crank up the pressure. If you’ve been curious whether a paired horde base system is worth the resources in 7 Days to Die 2.5, this stream is where we put it to the test. What We’re Doing in This Stream • Locking in final upgrades on both horde towers • Reinforcing critical paths so 2.5 AI keeps flowing where we want • Dialing in trap placement for late-game hordes • Balancing ammo, repair materials, and power between the two bases • Setting up emergency escape paths and fallback positions Why This Dual 2.5 Horde Base Is Different • Two independent kill zones, one shared infrastructure • Built specifically around 2.5 difficulty spikes and tougher hordes • Designed to scale past Day 35 without fully rebuilding • Lets you test multi-base strategy instead of one giant bunker Check Out the Full Playthrough: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDRZ6PYEiJSK-Sb6OGIvoAlYKoeyjqQI8 Help Support Me! ✨ Patreon || https://www.patreon.com/waywardeko 🚨 Merch || https://waywardeko-shop.fourthwall.com 💀 7DTD Server || https://frag.gs/eko Community: 🎮 Discord || https://discord.gg/YhQwdtWW5p 📱 Twitter || https://twitter.com/WaywardEko 🟣 Twitch || https://www.twitch.tv/waywardeko Building & Horde Base Tutorials: ⚒ https://youtu.be/H-v0oR6b1Rk ⚒ https://youtu.be/jEMnP7sHEzo ⚒ https://youtu.be/Bv4Lk7UkkV4 ⚒ https://youtu.be/D3K_oTpq3BI Charity: 💙 ExtraLife || https://www.extra-life.org/participant/Eko Music & Graphics 🎵 Music & SFX from Storyblocks.com 🎵 Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio 🎨 Design & Art Support | Mumpfy | mumpfy.myportfolio.com/ ________________________________________ #7daystodie #tfpcreator #7daystodie2.5 #ZombieSurvival #HordeBase #SurvivalGames #BaseBuilding #TipsAndTricks
Multi-Base Strategy Under Fire, Will It Collapse?
After barely scraping through that last horde, it’s finally time for a proper power spike in 7 Days to Die 2.5. Today we’re fixing the weak spots, upgrading our guns and armor, and turning this place into a fortress so the next horde – and the snow biome – can’t break us. This episode is all about climbing out of “barely surviving” and into “overpowered”: better weapons, better defenses, smarter pathing, and a base that can actually handle our current gamestage without collapsing under pressure. What we get done this episode: - Locking in real firepower with new guns & mods - Armor, resistances, and cold-weather prep for 2.5 - Base upgrades to fix the problems from the last horde - Resource runs and crafting to fuel the power spike - Planning ahead for snow biome survival and future hordes If you’re playing 7 Days to Die 2.5 and feeling stuck in that “I survived… but just barely” zone, this is the blueprint for how to turn that corner and start steamrolling content instead of constantly rebuilding from disaster.

The Moment We Stopped Panicking and Started Dominating 2.5
Our last horde base FAILED at high gamestage… so it’s time for a full 2.5 BASE REDO. We’re tearing it down, rebuilding from scratch, and then taking this new design all the way through horde night in one stream. We are all fighting the new zombie AI changes that came with 2.5 and so far it looking like outside of extreme cheese, redundancy is going to be the answer. In this episode we’ll: • Start on Day 24 after the failed snow push • Salvage what we can from the old base • Build a second identical base from the ground up • Set up a central crafting area to support multiple defenses • Tune traps, paths, and kill zones for high gamestage nightmare • Finish the night with a full Day 28 horde night defense using the new base We are starting the stream earlier than normal so we can carry all the way through horde night. You’ll see the entire process: planning, building, prepping, and then the live stress test when the blood moon hits. If you like base design, zombie pathing tricks, and seeing builds actually tested under pressure, this one’s for you.

Our Horde Base Failed – 2.5 Full Redesign + Live Stress Test
Star Rupture PRE Early Access – this build isn’t public yet. I’ve got creator-only access to this new sci-fi survival factory-builder from Creepy Jar (the devs behind Green Hell), so we’re going hands-on before release, LIVE. What is Star Rupture? You play as a convicted laborer exiled to Arcadia‑7, a brutal alien planet owned by a megacorporation. Your job: build massive industrial facilities, extract resources, and survive long enough to pay off your sentence. The planet is anything but stable. Cyclical solar firestorms from its volatile sun (Ruptura) periodically scorch the surface, wiping out anything you didn’t build smart enough to protect. Between the storms, you’ll be racing to: • Expand your base and automate production • Explore dangerous biomes and failed colonies • Fight off hostile creatures and defend your factory • Adapt your layout to survive a world that literally melts around you Core Features We’ll Be Testing LIVE: • Base building & automation – conveyor belts, mining rigs, power grids, processing lines, and shipping nodes to export materials efficiently • Combat & defense – turrets, weapons, and smart base design to hold off alien creatures and survive environmental chaos • Exploration & progression – scouting abandoned outposts, unlocking new abilities and tools, and pushing into new biomes as the planet changes over time • Survival factory gameplay – a blend of survival, base defense, and factory-building that’ll feel familiar if you enjoy 7 Days to Die, Satisfactory, Factorio, etc. This stream is my unfiltered first look at the PRE Early Access build: raw gameplay, live reactions, and honest first impressions. No trailers, no scripts—just a survival/base-building nerd poking at all the systems to see how deep this thing goes. If you’re into: • Survival crafting games • Base building and automation • New games before they go mainstream • Or you just want to see if Star Rupture deserves a spot next to your favorite survival titles… …hang out live, ask questions, and help me figure out if this one’s a keeper. If you’re watching this as a VOD, drop a comment: • Would you play Star Rupture? • What do you want to see in co-op when it launches? • And how does it stack up against your current favorite survival game?

Building on an Alien Planet That Literally Melts | Star Rupture First Look
If you rush into Snow, Desert, or Wasteland in 7 Days to Die 2.5 like older versions, you’re going to get slapped around. In this biome survival guide, I break down how the new biome hazards, temperature system, storms, and gamestage multipliers really work so you can safely push into the biome you actually want to live in. We’ll cover how the 3-minute grace period works, how to reset and extend it, and how to complete biome challenges to unlock survival gear for each zone. I’ll show you the exact steps for harvesting biome resources, crafting and using each biome’s special tonic or stew, eliminating biome-specific zombies, and mining the right materials so you can fully negate biome damage instead of cheese-surviving in doorways. You’ll also learn how external vs internal temperature works, what heat and cold actually do to your movement, food, and water, how shade, shelter, wetness, and heat sources affect your character, and how to stack insulated armor mods and clothing liners for long-term survival. Finally, we’ll look at storms, how the countdown works, how resist extends the timer, and how to reset it with shelter or quick-build structures so you’re not taking constant damage just for being outside. If this helps you survive longer in tougher biomes, drop a comment with what biome you’re living in and what day you’ve made it to. 🔗 More Guides: • https://youtu.be/k89FE_6P9fA • https://youtu.be/UT6BViqGJkg • https://youtu.be/D3K_oTpq3BI Help Support Me! ✨ Patreon || https://www.patreon.com/waywardeko 🚨 Merch || https://waywardeko-shop.fourthwall.com 💀 7DTD Server || https://frag.gs/eko Community: 🎮 Discord || https://discord.gg/YhQwdtWW5p 📱 Twitter || https://twitter.com/WaywardEko 🟣 Twitch || https://www.twitch.tv/waywardeko Building & Horde Base Tutorials: ⚒ https://youtu.be/H-v0oR6b1Rk ⚒ https://youtu.be/jEMnP7sHEzo ⚒ https://youtu.be/Bv4Lk7UkkV4 ⚒ https://youtu.be/D3K_oTpq3BI Charity: 💙 ExtraLife || https://www.extra-life.org/participant/Eko Music & Graphics: 🎵 Music & SFX | Storyblocks.com 🎵 Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio 🎨 Design & Art Support | Mumpfy | mumpfy.myportfolio.com/ Chapters: 00:00 Introduction – Why Rushing Biomes Gets You Killed 00:25 Biome Hazards & the 3-Minute Grace Period 00:59 Biome Challenges & Unlocking Survival Gear 01:21 Biome Resource & Consumable Requirements 01:54 Biome-Specific Zombies & Mining Objectives 02:12 Tips to Complete Biome Challenges Faster 03:22 Gamestage Multipliers by Biome 03:41 Temperature Basics – External vs Internal 04:14 Heat & Cold Severity Effects Explained 05:00 Environmental Heat Factors (Time, Shade, Shelter) 05:28 Cold Factors – Wetness & Shelter Impact 05:54 Heat Sources & Temperature Stacking 06:42 Insulated Armor Mods Explained 07:51 Clothing Liners – Tiers, Quality, and Scaling 08:46 Where to Find Liners (Savage Country) 09:25 Storm Mechanics & Extended Grace Period 10:07 Surviving Storm Damage with Shelter 10:27 Final Tips & Wrap-Up ________________________________________ #7daystodie #7daystodie2.5 #tfpcreator
You're Surviving Biomes Wrong – Here's the 2.5 System
We made a massive mistake pushing into the Snow Biome this early. In the 2.5 update, the snow doesn't just make you cold—it doubles the difficulty. The game math says our Day 21 Horde will hit us with a Gamestage of 180, spawning Demolition Zombies, Ferals, and Charged Infernals. The problem? We only have 26 in-game hours before the blood moon rises, and our base is a mix of wood and cobblestone. In this episode, it is a race against the clock to upgrade the horde base to concrete before the Demolishers tear it down. If we survive the night, we have to scramble to establish a crafting base and scavenge the frozen wasteland for resources to stay alive. In this episode: • The 26-Hour Rush: Frantically upgrading the horde base from wood to concrete. • Gamestage 180 Horde: Can our unfinished base withstand Demolishers and Charged Zombies? • Post-Horde Survival: Exploring the Snow Biome for critical late-game resources. • Crafting Base: Breaking ground on a permanent home in the north.

We Pushed Into Snow Too Soon (Gamestage 180 Nightmare)
We survived the desert heat, but now we're trading sunburn for frostbite. In this stream, we are attempting the ultimate migration: leaving the safety of our outpost to face the freezing dangers of the Snow Biome in 7 Days to Die 2.5. It is already Day 16, which means we are racing against the clock. Before we can challenge the new threats in the north (including the terrifying "Chuck"), we have to gear up. We are liquidating our assets at the desert trader and heading back to the forest to craft the biggest travel upgrade yet: the Motorcycle. But a ride into the frozen wasteland requires more than just wheels. We need to hunt down chili for Scorcher Stew and brew up some Blackstrap Coffee—because in this update, the weather kills you just as fast as the zombies. In this episode: The Great Sell-Off: Clearing out the desert outpost for maximum Dukes. • Motorcycle Build: Finally upgrading our mobility for the long haul. • Cold Weather Prep: Crafting Scorcher Stew & Blackstrap Coffee to survive the freeze. • The Migration: Moving our entire operation to the deadliest biome yet. • Day 21 Base Rush: Can we establish a foothold and start a new horde base before night falls?
