Its not really all that hard. Maybe an hour or two.
Zombies don't pick up their feet, so it's fine. Just set up a tripwire.

Or you could learn a lesson from HL2, and place spinning blades inside slits along a corridor. Those'd slice up any zombies nice'n'gud.

just remember one thing

kill all sons' a ♥♥♥♥♥es

Them's my Official Instructions.

I prefer having a base on a bridge, that spans something dangerously far below, or deep, and then start rigging snares.
Heh, hanging zombies would be fun, if they weren't so decayed, but seeing them plummet into an abyss is still fun.


You know what else is fun, a base that is placed around a giant furnace, just fuel with zombies, and filter through the ashes for metal objects!

not going to mention what this would remind most people of.

anyway, i would just like a drawbridge. there. problem solved. zombies falling to their doom below works fine for me. i'll just read a book

I totally said that, yep.

Meh, just get a few catapults, and some other things, and you can make catapulting traps, hilarity yes, resetting them not fun.

*Fwing*
[GROOOoooooooannan!!!]

Have a narrow corridor that had two spinning horizontally orientated saw blades at about waist height that overlap each other, and have additional saw blades that are smaller and are oriented vertically that will chop the dead zombies to more managable bits. Find a way to power all of these with a generator that runs off of dead zombie flesh. Place the container for the fuel tank directly under the vertical blades, in a small pit. Voilà, a self sufficent zombie killing corridor.

What about some defenses/weapons if we are fighting People who have been taken over by nanites? I take it we are rather dead in that scenario?

This is about the good ole' shambling zombies that can barely walk. Also, would those people even qualify as zombies?

No, those would qualify as robots, and there is an entirely different book for THAT scenario.

And a couple of films. Both of which involve copious amounts of logic and physics breaking.

No, they'd be ZOMBORGS!!!

except when your saw blades break
and your axles and motor bearings all die for lack of lubrication and maintenance
