Chickon_20 Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 (edited) This is a Guide on how to build an easy and cheap killbox / bunker (I designed it myself). You are required to at least have access to copper tools already. (I´m not really experienced at posting stuff online and English is also not my main language, so please correct me if I make any mistakes) Building Materials You´ll need: ~ a Stack of any solid building blocks 9 slabs of any kind 4 stairs of any kind 4 ladders of any kind 36 trapdoors 4 doors (1*2 of any kind) 1 dry grass 4 firewood a bucket of water some storage (any storage will work) Tools You´ll need: a hammer a chisel a shovel (for digging dirt) an axe for breaking misplaced trapdoors and doors tools for breaking the building materials (in case you misplace them) Building it First, dig a 9*9*3 hole (you may need to flatten the terrain around it). (the packed dirt is just for illustration) Build a fire pit in the middle. Fill the corners with water (on the with packed dirt marked spots). Place ladders in all four corners (exactly like in the picture below). Build a 5*5 ring out of the building block you´ve chosen at the same height level as the terrain around the pit. Replace 4 of the building blocks with stairs (like in the image). Fill in the empty space with slabs (facing downward). Carve of a layer of the middle slab using the 4*4*4 chisel brush. Carve a hole into the middle using the 4*4*4 chisel brush. Carve of parts of the inner edge using the 2*2*2 chisel brush. You need to place trapdoors (it will make drifters and other think that they can walk onto that space). First, place two parallel rows of trapdoors, which face sideways from the trapdoors (so you don´t get stuck on them). Add two more parallel rows. Place trapdoors at the stairs, each facing the stair they´re placed at. Fold down the trapdoors. Place doors on each of the stairs. Build a 2 block high wall out of the building block you´ve chosen. Build a roof out of the building block you´ve chosen. Add storage. Add necessities. You´re done building it! Now it´s ready to use! How to use it Just get in when the temporal storm starts and fuel up the campfire (through the hole). To cut up the drifters corpses, sit down right next to the hole and cut them up (through the hole). You can also use it catch wolfs and bears and cook! That´s it! Please leave a review if you have any questions or issues. Edited February 28 by Chickon_20 I finished it! 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealFlynn Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 (edited) so worth the investment of time and materials. got a temporal gear the first storm. 1.19.6 working well Edited April 1 by TheRealFlynn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickon_20 Posted April 13 Author Report Share Posted April 13 Thank you for the 1k views and keeping this guide up this long. Maybe I should make another guide. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vratislav Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 Have anyone tried this or similar design to be built in a cave (like in a crossing of multiple caves providing solid feed of monsters to your location) to harvest Jonas parts from sawblade locusts?

Maelstrom Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 I'm not sure sawblades spawn regularly enough to make it worth the effort. But I don't spend time underground like a dwarf either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double-headed drifters are a whole lot better source of Jonas parts. I get 2-4 JP per storm. Maybe crank the storm frequency, if that's an option? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickon_20 Posted May 10 Author Report Share Posted May 10 Why not. It functions as long as there is firewood or another fuel thought refueling can become a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was avoiding fighting drifters during temporal storms till now so I haven't much experience with these guys. Then for my purposes the surface killbox may be sufficient, I've just built it, so I will try it this way . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickon_20 Posted May 15 Author Report Share Posted May 15 I've noticed some problems with the killbox in the more recent versions. So I announce: I'll be making a new version very soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
