![]() Use a portion of this forged iron to craft iron spikes, and use them to surround the base of your tower. At this point in the game (day 7-14), you should have a forge going and a fair bit of forged iron produced. You'll want to make this entrance/escape hatch visible, so construct some sort of simple structure that easily stands out. Place another wall of blocks on the back side where you will attach a ladder shaft leading up to the surface. Once you've mined out a sizable tunnel, dig straight up and break in to the surface.I chose my tunnel to be 24 blocks in length. Climb down to the bottom of the ladder and mine a straight tunnel three blocks high and as far as you care to go.This is going to serve as the entrance/exit of your tower base. You'll also have to knock out the bottom-most ladder on the ground floor to place in an additional hatch. I chose mine to be 9 blocks deep, with the back edge of stone knocked out and replaced with flagstone to support an extension of the ladder system above. You remember the ladder shaft on the one side of the ground floor? Knock out the flagstone block placed at the bottom of the ladder shaft and dig a 1x1 pit down.How could one not appreciate a medieval aesthetic touch? Prior to this, adding in second ladder system and a hatch would probably be a good idea! ![]() Next, raise a wall two blocks high around the very rim of the top of the tower, and place additional blocks to form a parapet with gaps, forming as the castle battlement.On the underside of this lip, place flagstone arch 2m all the way around as shown in the image. While you're at it, place a lip that circumferences the tower on the same elevation as the floor above.Now would be a good time to add the roof above, but again leave room for another ladder shaft. Head back on inside and install a door and wooden bars placed furthest away from the player along each square window, as shown in the image.Attach hatches to these poles so that they open upwards, as shown here. Run along the bars and place sideways-facing poles (not poles centered!) upwards of the window holes.Leave a spot open on one side to put in a door later on, and spaces for windows in the locations shown, mirrored across all four sides. These don't need to be double thick since the brunt of the zombies' attacks will come from ground level. Erect 5 block high walls around the edge of the second floor. Now it's time to get the third and final story started. ![]() (Be sure you're using wood bars and not wood bars centered!) You can upgrade these to iron bars in the future when resources permit. Add protrusions along the corners to stand on and allow you toss throwables down at the zombies below, like molotovs or pipe bombs. This is where you will make two layers of wood bars placed sideways going all the way around the tower, 5 blocks above the ground making it two blocks across will lessen the chance of you falling.
