[2022] About digging holes

Since you mention digging deep, one thing not mentioned yet is that zombies do take damage from falls, based on the distance fallen. But it’s capped at one third of their health per fall.

And what is that distance please ?

If you mean how deep do you have to go to maximize the damage from one fall, it scales with the max hit points for that type of zombie, since the cap is one third of their hit points. The last time I made a base based on this principle, it was about 20 blocks to do maximum fall damage to the basic zombies (not feral/radiated/special types).
