So far I’m on my longest run yet, I’ve been playing it safe, and avoiding fights as much as I can.

Currently I have a base in Rosewood, in one of the houses behind the fire station. It’s all boarded up, and I’ve build up a good supply of canned food, tools and all sorts of guns.

I also have my generator ready to go for when the power goes. Water has already stopped running, I have two water coolers in my base, about 20 water bottles, and 5 rain collector crates outside. I started working on building a little shack to get clean water, but need to level up carpentry to level 6 in order to build stairs and finish the roof.

But what should I be focusing on next? I haven’t done any metalworking yet. Haven’t started with farming, and have no way of securing meat once my supply runs out.

I do have a nice firetruck, with 4 full canisters of gas. Ideally I want to build up some more gas, but have been struggling to find more canisters.

    Ok update; I finally finished my little shack, and added 3 crates for collecting rain water. Finally found a propane tank to recharge my torch, and try to disassemble a sink to hook up water.

    Made a couple of trips down to some farms to collect seeds, and start a little farm. Also learned the recipes for trapping, but haven’t made any yet.

    I also finally learned how frozen food works, I stupidly never collect those because I couldn’t figure it out…

    Oh and I learned how to hook up a trailer to my fire truck. So all in all a pretty good run, if I can keep surviving.

      By crates you mean the square collectors? I’d advice against them. Better to grind out level 6 (or 7, can’t remember) and get the barrels. Iirc they hold more than twice and cost the same resources. Remember, you can have up to 9 barrels plumbed to a single water source.

      Good to see you’re liking the game!

        The square collectors yeah, I figured it’s better to start collecting water early while I level my carpentry. I’ve been collecting garbage bags, so I have enough for barrels. Read about the 3x3 grid with the sink in the middle, so that’s how I have it set up now.
