hydration

wood making

arrow making

if only real life was like this bros

Ah I love this game. I wonder what new features there are since I last played.

I remember playing this game a few years ago, but I simply wasn't able to keep up with the zombie hoards very well before continually getting overwhelmed. Have things gotten better in the game or has the meta evolved a bit more?

I also remember the game thinking about including farming, has that happened?

hunting rabbit with aforementioned arrow


>>53441
i never touched farming
i basically don't ever encounter (many) zombies now because i just keep in my own space hunting, crafting and cooking meat on fire
i don't really get bored of it

wtfff

can make better bow (short bow) after shooting around with useless bow

closed all curtains for sleepy time

(if you dont close em you wake up too early at the morning because of sun)

first hunting success with new bow

butchering with pocket knife (bad)

cooking rabbit meat on fire

my map

@ - me
C - my two home cabins
blue ! - my planned path to check out V
V - rural house
Simsbury = town with 100000 zombies

alright gamer time over
see ya next time folks

bout to go to rural house

reading found cooking books for recipes

time flies when ur a cooking book reader

eating wiz snacks before sleep cause no mom around to freak

stone shovel making (for pit digging which allows any other type of construction)

stone adze making (for wood cutting)

starting to get pelt from butcherings

makin bricks from clay i dug up with stone shovel and fire

This might be a tall order but would you stream this game somewhere? It looks like a nice game but too demanding for retards such as myself. It looks like really fun to watch someone who knows what he's doing playing this.

How is this game? Is good? What do you do?

this is my current crafting goal, a clay hydria
with it i could catch rain water
the rain water i'd then boil in a clay pot to get clean drinking water


>>53464
i thought about recording, maybe in future
for now i'll spam this thread

>>53465
it's really comfy if you play it right
you survive a post apocalyptic world full of zombies

>>53466
So is a RPG? Where do you start to git gud?

alright gamers see you next time

sounds like you are playing some kind of mix between dwarf fortress and minecraft. i thought this game was about zombies

bootin up the game bros

This gets me thinking, would anyone be interested in a thread where we just post clips of us playing video games?

Where do you get your cloth?
How can I find water?

>>53497
O.K.. Figured out cloth. It feels like 90% of this game in the beginning is trying to figure out the weird sequence of actions you have to do to get basic stuff. In particular, I had to activate a knife and then use it on some other piece of ill-fitting cloth to get rags.

I'm still trying to figure out where to get clean water now.

>>53501
I'm trying to go full innawoods too with a shower build. I'm still trying to figure out the basics. It still feels like 90% of this game is trying to figure out which hidden menu the interaction I want is in. E.g., how do I use a cardboard box (store stuff in it?), do I have to dissamble, smash something, deconstruct, construct, or craft to get a certain item (e.g., sharp rocks (took me forever to figure out that they come from smashing boulders) and heavy sticks (still working on that one).

>>53517
Yup, this sound like a wraith in the void, playing some Cataclysm to kill time. Nice watch, I hope you do more of those.

I am still trying full innawoods, and I am having a real hard go at this. I just can _not_ get enough food. It feels like my character spends his entire fucking day cooking and then eating, it's goddam ridiculous.

I'm seriously considering laying down some cheats already.

rate

>>53533
why did you litter

is it possible to thrive and create a civilization or something of the sort? I love games that let you thrive in a hard world if you know what you're doing. I mostly like the concept of having guards or people to work for me for some reason. If that's possible in this game I might join you in on the fun.

>>53543
i never interact with NPCs but you can form a faction and have a faction camp

> If all goes well, a single bulletin board will appear, and from that humble board, you may order your NPCs to perform building projects or gather resources.

i really wanna keep making vlogs but its v taxing so idk if i'll keep doing them

but this is my new farm rate

>>53547
How do you avoid walking over your crop? You don't have any maintenance pathways?

>>53549
fuck, is that really a thing

>>53547
do you need to water plants in this game?

>>53551
nah you just dig mounds with a shovel or hoe, then you plant seeds and wait for a very very very long time
you can use fertilizer but on the wiki it says
>fertilized seeds will grow much faster but yield much less crop

I got back into it.

I'm spending way over half my day cooking. How the fuck can I reduce the amount of time spent cooking?

>>53556
In particular, I have a huge stack of dahlia, BUT FUCK OFF IF IT TAKES THE ENTIRE DAY TO COOK IT, JFC. The calories I get from them equals the calories it takes sitting around cooking them!

>>53558
O.k.. So when it comes to dahlias, you're supposed to wait until you have 10 and use a quern to get starch and then flour.

Still though, the amount of time I spend cooking is ridiculous.

>>53526
I…didn't know you could eat pinecones. They provide a good source of calories (but I am deforesting my area really fast…) Also, you can use pine boughs in place of egg or bone to make broth.

I am still finding enough cals though.

>>53550

I can't find it now, but I remember reading some guide suggesting to fence crop areas to avoid zombos from strolling over your fields and laying wreck to them.





In my fully innawoods playthrough (so, no foraging for equipment in civilization), I'm wondering if there's a good way I can get something better than a stone shovel to till earth with, that takes a lot of time as well :/.

>>53559
*am still NOT finding enough cals

my current main food source is flat bread
you don't need any yeast to make it
you just need flour
and you can get flour from cattail, which you'll find in bulk at swampy forests
(cattail rhizomes to starch, starch to flour)

i want to get into animal farming in the long run, but first i need to find something to dehydrate meat with

Alright, I just want to summarize what I'm trying to what and what I've learned:

Run details/rules:
- Stay only in the forest. Don't go to other biomes (e.g., swamp)
- Never go into civilization and don't get any 'modern' parts except for stuff found in underbrush and stuff you can learn to craft from fiddling around in the forest.

Issues I've had so far and how to resolve them:
- Getting cords:
I've been using datura for my beginning withered plants to make cords, and then once I have that I can make a shovel and start removing grass to get straw and I have cords for days.
- Getting cloth:
Still a real pain, but my long-term plan is to grow dogbane and use the plant fibers to knit up cloth.
- Getting leather:
My biggest challenge. I basically need to get salt, but doing that without breaking my "no biome change" rule is hard (because it's all in swamps). So, I've been forced to use hickory trees as a salt source. I have to dig up the roots, and then gather enough. But just finding hickory trees in the many different kinds of trees in the forest is a real pain. So, it's rare, and I have to use it sparingly. I screwed up my first hunt's skin because of this, but I hope to hold on to it more carefully in the future.
- Getting clay/rocks:
It took me a while to learn that you don't need to be by a river to get clay. You can get it from anywhere, but you will have to randomly dig shallow pits everywhere.
- Saving on cooking time:
I'm still working on this, but here's what I've learned.
* Don't bake dahlias. Instead, save up a stack of them and then use a QUERN to get starch and make flour.
* Almost everything else has batching bonuses. It's hard to notice the batch command (press 'b' in the craft menu). So, unless it's going to spoil, don't bother cooking up fiddleheads or dandelions unless you have at least 10, making even 20 of them.
* Spend a whole day foraging and just making a gigantic pile of food before cooking it the next day.
* You can never have enough clay pots and water containers.
- Getting food:
It's been really difficult for me to get the kcals that I need. I know everyone says to hunt, but it's so hard for me to find game. That's the next thing I'm working on. Here's what I've been able to find instead:
* Like >>53561 says, flatbread is nice, but you need to get the dahlia crop up and going for that.
* Oil is great. Longterm I'm planning to get some canola crop going for that.
* You can actually cook pinecones.
* You can use pine boughs to make pine needle tea instead of needing some sort of protein to make a broth to then let you make woods soup. This is what's saving me early game at the moment.
- Shelter:
I'm pretty shite at this at the moment. Right now I've juts got a straw bed out in the middle of nowhere. I don't have the fabrication skill to make a roof yet :(. Because of the lack of dogbane, I've been saving it to plant with so I can get a steady crop of it, which means I don't have the necessary cloth to make a tent of any kind, and what few rags I have go straight to repairing and making more clothing instead.

That's where I'm at right now.

1 cattail = 1 cattail rhizome = 1 flatbread

each of them is one flatbread

one swamp forest tile = 100 flatbreads

and look at this map (blue F = swamp)


it doesnt make sense to worry about food

>during the summer food left out spoils 6x as fast
how to cope

>>53567
Nuts, seeds, oils, and flour.

game sounds like an excellent homeless survival sim

its gamer time again wizards

making a boat

>>53580
Name it WizzyMcWizFace

sooner or later you're gonna run out of supplies or lose the boat and be stuck like in meek's cutoff, what are you gonna do then? sorry if it sounds like i'm trying to hijack but balrum is a bit like this except in the middle ages and has some fantasy stuff (your character is a wizard) best way to describe it is a mix betwen soldak games, wurm with bits of nox and classic runescape :/ but turn based

>>53588
been following the thread andi t is fun to read along but it looks like wageslave life simulator.

>>53589
it's only like that if you make it like that famesu, similar to those virtual pets or courier simulators. some not all games like animal crossing feels more of a chore than fantasy life, nobody knows why we play wage sims but we do

look at the clock wizards its boat building time

found a underground shelter thing with cool stuff like wood axe (means i can make better stuff now) and military backpack

it is finally gamer time again

i found a van with a mini fridge
now i just gotta install solar panels for infinite fridge usage, might also remove the fridge and have it be stationary at home
also has a bed, kitchen unit and 3 x 162l cargo space

and look at this

Getting comfortable with the game, killing tons of zombies in single column alleys. Found a working golf cart, also a food dehydrator I'm gonna use for milk and a hand crank to generate electricity.
Halligan bar is a good weapon, can also pry open doors and windows a hammer can't. 20 bash, doesn't degrade(?), sometimes knocks enemies back. Better than the nail bat that was my go-to weapon before.
