Overview

Wood Spikes are a trap used to defend structures by impaling zombies, humans, and animals. Wood Spikes are crafted using 20 Wood as shown below. They have 3 stages that each deal 33 damage and have 33 hit points, but anything that steps into the trap will break a stage regardless of how many hit points the trap has. Each stage looks more broken than the last, but has the same stats.

Wood Spikes can be repaired using 5 Wood per stage. When repaired, all broken stages are fixed at once.

Upgrading

Wood Spikes can be upgraded to Iron Spikes, which deal more damaged and have a higher durability, with 4 Forged Iron.

Notes

• Spike traps can be helpful when dealing with running zombies, as the spikes slow them down and can dismember them.
• Their low cost and crafting requirements make them a good early-game defense, while still being effective in late-game defenses.
• For survivors staying in a house, a good strategy is to surround it by a few layers of spikes.

History

• As of Alpha 4, Wood Spikes must be placed on a solid Block.
• As of Alpha 15, Wood Spikes became much less practical as their price changed from 4 to 100 wood. Wood Log Spikes (which have since been removed from the game) became the cheap, viable alternative with a material cost of 20 wood.
• Originally when repairing they would go through the 5 stages, as of Alpha 15.1 they now directly go to completely healed.
• As of Alpha 16, price of wood spikes went from 100 to 20 wood.
• As of at least Alpha 18, Wood Spikes now appear to only have three stages of disrepair, always going down one level when hitting a zombie, thus only being able to land three hits on a zombie before breaking.
