Hello All Survivors!

We’ve been given another future update from the Devs in relation to Last Day On Earth. At the moment we have no idea when it is going to come into place but it’s a small(ish) update that may come with v1.4.4, whenever that may be.

They will be adding a new upgradable wall/door/floor/window feature to the game. At the moment you can only build up to Stone. I am going to be a bit more opinionated (yes, people on the internet do have opinions and like to voice them, what a shock) in relation to updates and posts from the Dev team.

I find that at the moment there isn’t a massive use for having metal walls etc, I have been playing the game for a fair few weeks now (nearly level 70) and the only real issue with the walls is that they can get destroyed by the Zombie Horde. They easily smash through the basic Pine Log walls, not so much the Pine Plank ones though. Upgrading your walls is an expensive, resource demanding thing to do. Currently it stands at:

1 Pine Log = Pine Wall

20 Pine Planks & 10 Limestone = Pine Plank Wall

20 Cut Stone & 10 Pine Planks = Stone Wall

So as you can see, it can take a lot of resources even if you just have a 2×2 building. 8 Pine Logs, 160 Pine Planks, 80 Limestone just to upgrade to Pine Plank. And that’s just for walls! I mean, you need a door, unless you’re a T-1000. Not only that but you also have to make sure that you upgrade the floor that it is built on, otherwise it can’t be built. Square peg in a round hole and all that.

As the game gets more and more updates I can see a future benefit for the metal walls though. “What on The Last Day On Earth are you talking about?!” I hear you cry. Well, they’ll come into play when we are able to do Ambush missions and raid other people’s bases of course. If you’ve ever been to one of the pre-made AI bases within the game, you’ll have noticed that you need C4 to be able to blow the wall to pieces. Now here comes the story of the three little pigs: Logs, not so good. Planks, meh. Stone, getting there. Metal, try it bitch!

Thanks for reading once again. I’ll make sure I update this blog as soon as I can when they drip feed us info on updates and with my survival guide. Good luck with that Big Bad Zombie Wolf!
