Hello Citizens of ParadiZe!
Turns out that removed from the need to sleep, eat, and play video games, Zombot workers are effective, perhaps a little too effective. Wood, water, vegetables, you name it, we are absolutely swimming in resources. That's where the law of supply and demand comes in, you have the supply and I demand you pelt zombies with it!
That's why we've come up with some new base defences to maximise damage and get rid of any leftover veggies on the plate. Party like it's nineteen hundred by pelting the incoming hordes with vegetables, freezing them with ice and snow or turn them into swiss cheese with wooden stakes.
We hope you're ready to redesign your base layout to make use of the turrets added in this update. They'll be necessary to handle the new difficulty mode that's also being introduced.
