[2022] Just lost my first base :/ Foundations wipe...

There is a chance for it to make a bag. I doubt you would have been able to collect it all though. The bags could also have been destroyed by the zeds or by other blocks collapsing on it.

This is kind of the point in the "tower defense" genre. Especially when you mix it with survival mechanics. I'm not sure why you would have expected more.

If they make it past your defenses just leave your base. Have a back up roof to run to, or just die a few times running around "spawning near bag" and your things will be fine, they target you, not your buildings or stuff. Unless you are doing a hardcore run, your stuff is more valuable than surviving. the xp penalties are nothing.

Horde nights are extremely risk free if you take a few easy precautions, Especially with how the zombies spawn and despawn.

A tower defense, traditionally and ultimately, is you protecting a 'sacred object' at one end of the screen from oncoming enemies using towers.

It's not called tower defense because you're defending the towers, It's tower defense because you're using the towers as a defense.

The player is however in and of themselves a tower that is defending itself. So you're not entirely wrong to say it's a 'you' defense. :)

Yes, how very strange. Almost like...I didn't know that. Can't speak for Sylen.

But, Bags do still drop from player made chests, though? Or at least, I've not had it not drop a bag in recent memory. But the bag is stupid shortlived, Unless you're standing right there ready to grab it, it's likely to be gone before you reach it.

Yep. It used to be 100%, but that was really costly. Now there is a chance for it to happen, but I'm not sure what the % rate is. The bag that does drop also may not have all of the contents. As Shurenai stated, it is extremely short lived. Maybe 30 seconds to a minute. And as I stated previously, the bag is easily destroyed by other falling blocks or zombies.
