Fun fact: If you manage to read a level 1 skill book before watching a TV show for said skill you will gain 2 levels by watching the show thanks to the multiplier (with fast learner)
Can confirm since I finished reading a carpentry book then got 2 levels from the show at 12pm
Update: Triggered house alarm, ran from 200 zombies, vaulted 4 times on 4 fences and got scratched in the process every time
This has to be both the luckiest and unluckiest start lol
nimble flame
Summary of day 1: Found the stacked survivor house, looted some nearby houses and a small medical centre, triggered an alarm while looting, got scratched 4 times by fences which made me limp, got 50 kills and settled in a nearby house whered I read some books, watched TV and went to sleep. Overall great start other than those couple unlucky moments ig.

Summary of day 2: continued looting, managed to heal all my scratches that I got on day 1 and marked off the houses where I left some stashes. Will head up to the school and other POIs to find cigarettes.
unfortunately missed a couple shows because of zombie hordes but it's not a big deal

From what mod you get the ak-47?
VFE
Not sure if it's part of an expansion though
Im using both STALKER expansion and gunrunner expansion to VFE

So it could b from there but I'm pretty sure vfe also has an AK
Still no luck with vehicles either xd

Jesus christ bro gas station had 50000 zombies

Day 3 update: Looted a bunch more houses, the minimart along the road, the police station, the gas station and successfully found a good condition box truck which will be great for storage. Will head to rosewood since looting the rest of muldraugh isn't manageable right now. I also have an annotated map pointing to a gun stash in rosewood so another good reason to head there.
nimble flame
aand the warehouse next door was armed with an alarm great.
NOPE i'm off to rosewood
I aint dealing with allat
nimble flame
Day 4: Very chaotic but not much progress, headed to loot the warehouses outside of muldraugh on the way to rosewood and a helicopter showed up. Spent the whole day clearing the zombies with a molotov and looting the rest of the factory. I got about 6 bags of tools and 6 bags of materials, two antique ovens, another sledgehammer and two machetes one which broke in like 50 hits even while being at full durability for some reason. After all of that made my way to rosewood and stopped at the gas station. Overall good loot run
also I must have accidentally left respawn on because the zombies never stopped coming, will double check later.
nimble flame
Day 5: Not much progress, just cleared the gas station, filled up, headed to the gated community, cleared that and settled in one of the houses moving everything in. Pretty boring stuff.
close to 1k kills actually, planning to take on the prison before day 10 and then finish looting rosewood.
fossil blaze
are you planning on setting up a permanent base or living as a nomad?
nimble flame
Probably permanent base
not sure if in rosewood however
I don't have nearly enough storage for a nomad lifestyle, mabye if I find a semi truck with trailer i'll consider it.
fossil blaze
I don't have nearly enough storage for a nomad lifestyle, mabye if I find a semi...
yeah storage is a premium in my nomad playthrough, i leveled up mechanics mainly to repair the trunks
but i also setup safehouses with stockpiles for excess supplies
nimble flame
Yeah that's understandable
I'm thinking of setting down personally, making a good base with everything I need that I can come back to
nimble flame
Then once that's done I'll move to other locations like West Point ect
nimble flame
So one thing lead to another
and yeahh I might have forgot to bring my medical supplies with me so i'll have to loot the hospital nearby
Atleast I found that military trailer to cheer me up, there is also a larger truck but it has no key so rip
Store itself mostly has ammo and a few rifles, but it does have a submachine gun with a drum holding 71 ammo so that will be great for clearing zombies
also a saiga 12 shotgun which I have actually never tried
nimble flame
Day 6: Looted all the surplus store and the surrounding buildings, snagged myself a large military trailer and am now on the road back home. Had a very close call with that one neck injury but that's now healed.
nimble flame
Day 7: Uneventful, just went home and put away everything, somehow got my engine down to 30% while coming back so i'll have to find a new truck soon.
nimble flame
Day 8: Partially cleared and looted the prison, got 3 aiming levels and 2 reloading levels out of that. The armory was the most underwhelming thing ever, only 2 pistols and a basic shotgun, barely enough ammo to make up for what I used and nothing else useful. Even rosewood PD probably has more than this.
valid stump
I wish you luck my friend
nimble flame
I'll probably die by leaving the oven on or something lol
nimble flame
Day 9: Not over yet but looted the fire station where I found yet another sledgehammer, cleared the shopping district and looted that and the rest of the day is probably just going to be more clearing and sorting.
Also found a generator in my house's shed so that won't be an issue, once day 10 passes I'll focus on settling down and making a good base before further looting.
nimble flame
Day 10: Just a day spent sorting out the house i'm basing in, planning to turn it into a proper base with every dedicated room I need. Also looted a couple buildings ig
nimble flame
Made an armory + ammo room next to it, a bit bare right now but i'll make it better lol
ammo room is VERY cramped so i'll try and change that lmao
Yeah this is better
I sure hope this is enough space because I already have like 12 garbage bags of weapons and I haven't even checked out any of the military areas yet
nimble flame
Day 11: Pretty huge storm going on, took this time to continue sorting my base. I have no idea how weather forecasts work or radio channels in general and am too lazy to learn so I have no idea when this will be over. Completely finished the armory I was working on the day before, finished the living room adding everything I need, made a small storage space for melee weapons and other items like cigarettes and lighters and started working on a tool room that I will need more metal lockers for.

Day 12: Storm got less intense so I decided to loot some nearby areas, cleared a couple of restaurants then spent a couple of hours clearing every zombie that follow an alarm I accidentally triggered, proceeded to go home and sleep then loot the mechanic's. Also found a couple of new trailers, a generator trailer and a smaller military trailer similar to the one I found a while back. Finally finished the tools room aswell.

Day 13 (& 14): Headed to fallas lake to loot the area, spent the whole fucking day fighting zombies. Started at 3am, finally killed the last one at 4am of day 14. Destroyed one of my machetes in the process, used up all the shotgun ammo in the rural store and that I bought (I left most of my ammo at home though so I still have plenty) and all of the 9mm and .223 ammo in the store aswell after that to clear the last ones. Probably got like 2k kills or something, that was insane.
well guess i'll spend the rest of day 14 looting the place and getting out before I get swarmed by another 50000 zomboids
nimble flame
fortunately made it out alive but if this is how many zombies there are in fallas lake alone then fort redstone/fort rock ridge and other POIs is gonna be crazy
weak trout
More zeds to kill
nimble flame
Day 14: The power suddenly cut out so I had to run all the way back to rosewood to save my perishable food, fortunately I got there in time but at the cost of most of my engine durability and a tire. Now i'll have to find another truck or level mechanics because this won't get me far.
nimble flame
Also a heli passed by but I wasn't having it so hid in a house and let it pass lol
I fear the day water goes out, power isn't as bad since I got an early generator but I don't have a reliable water source yet since I have no trucks and no barrels
unfortunately a lot of my food went stale since it takes a while to re-freeze it
rip meat fish and pizza xd
nimble flame
Day 15: After finishing sorting out what I bought back from fallas lake I decided to take my trashed truck and attempt to drive back, since I remembered I had found another smaller truck with a key there I could use. Truck broke down halfway, so I walked the rest of the distance and continued looting the area while killing more zombies that were attracted from yet another building alarm.

Day 16: Finished looting Fallas Lake, found two great vehicles with keys: A military tow truck and a large box truck. Headed home and put away some of the stuff I got, will take me a couple more trips back and forth to get all the vehicles. The water cut out as well, so i'll have to worry about making rain collectors soon. Reached 4400 kills, passed 4k a couple days ago without even realizing it. Once i'm done looting fallas lake i'll probably sit back and finish making my base while prepping water collectors and maybe a small farm.
nimble flame
Day 17 & 18: Brought back all the loot from Fallas Lake and organised it in my containers. Also made a garage using the furniture I snagged from the various POIs and found a jukebox which is just great. Made sure to optimize all my electronics so that my generator lasts 7 days when full and cleared the area from any other zombies. Another helicopter also passed by, but since I basically cleared the top area of rosewood it barely brought any zombies so that was not an issue. Still haven't made a reliable source of water and food so i'm going to work on that after finding a couple more generators for the gas station and fuel efficiency, no rush though since I already hoarded plenty of fuel. After doing that and finishing my base i'll check out some military POIs for more gear to take on the larger towns.
nimble flame
Day 19: cleared and looted the school and some surrounding houses, also started trained up carpentry and mechanics. Will continue looting and training skills the next day.

its not usually the hordes that get ya
almost always when you get to comfortable and then one finds its way...
nimble flame
food and water isn't an issue until very deep in your playthrough and the other thing that can kill you is being stupid or some jumpscare BS which I made sure isn't happening
For me that's basically the only cause of death
getting cocky with hordes or not bringing enough gear when going out
or car crashes if i'm distracted lmao
weak trout

Either that or too much confidence
dusty wasp
food and water isn't an issue until very deep in your playthrough and the other ...
i mean those random zombies where you are minding your own busniess in the section of town you cleared, and they find their way too you while you are looting or fastforwarding, sometimes you make a minor fumble out a panic and then you get bit. Food and water are never a issue for me, usually just getting cocky and feeling safe are enough to make you loosen your guard
nimble flame
Ig that's true, it's why I always stay sharp and keep my reflexes turned up while listening carefully. I usually don't find that many roamers though since I usually fire some shots across the areas I want to loot to lure every zombie away.
dusty wasp
yeah
nimble flame
Also fast-forwarding isn't that bad as long as you don't do it just out in the open or in a corner, time will automatically go back to normal when a zombie gets close to you
dusty wasp
i do fast forwarding all the time
nimble flame
It's not like you can put on max fast-forward and get instantly destroyed in 1 millisecond lol
nimble flame
You using some mod for that?

Oh that I forgot it works with fast-forwardin lol

Day 20: My looting session was cut short by a house close to the woods firing it's alarm and luring hordes too large for me to handle since my weapons were all about to break. Just went home and sorted the stuff I got.
Now I only have some spare nightsticks and a machete as my only good melee weapons, I really need more. Which is why I'm considering heading off to a military location, probably Fort Rock Ridge since it's smaller than Fort Redstone and I have no idea if I can clear redstone anyways

Day 20: My looting session was cut short by a house close to the woods firing it...
and today-? T_T
nimble flame
Day 21 & day 22: Alright so big update, I suddenly just decided to pack up and head to fort Rock Ridge to stock up on weapons, leaving my generator with 8 days of fuel and bringing all my shotgun and 9mm ammo with me, which equates to around 25 boxes of shotgun shells and 40 boxes of 9mm. This to use with my double barrel shotgun and mp5. That and I also bought any necessary tools, medical supplies ect. Anyways yeah I get to the road that leads to the base and there's a lot of zombies to clear, no big deal but they just keep coming. Eventually I end up after 12 hours of shooting zombies with 1.5k kills, most of my ammo gone and the road to the gate cleared. I get to the gate and it's full of zombies behind it, which can't get to me because the place is basically sealed, but I decide to bust down the gate after resting and repairing my guns using some of the ones dropped by zombies. Turns out that was a huge mistake, since shortly after I open the gate a fucking RAIDER HELI passes by, basically trying to shoot me down while attracting even more zombies from inside the base, which go out using the hole I broke in the gate. I manage to not die from the heli but end up using the rest of my shotgun and 9mm ammo to kill the zombies that came from outside the gate, leaving me dry on ammo and down one long-blade weapon. In total 32 hours of shooting zombies with only a couple of breaks to sleep and rest, very exhausting but worth it since now at least the area near the gate is free to clear. Bad thing is if there's any more zombies inside I only have 308 ammo to kill them, no shotgun SMG or pistol ammo to use.
Screenshot of my kills when I reached the road at 4am:
Screenshot of my kills now (2pm of the next day):
A whopping 2.6k kills in less than 48 hours.
quintuple the amount of road in this screenshot and that's about all the bodies
700 9mm bullets, 102 .308 bullets and 353 shotgun shells in total + another 40 shotgun shells and 50 9mm bullets in another container
I have to say double barrel shotgun is pretty OP, each shot took out up to 6 zomboids with the average being 3 or 4
Actually a minor correction to what I said above: I still have 2 stacks of 9mm bullets (12 boxes) so i'm still not out, I am out of shotgun shells though. I had 6 stacks of 9mm bullets before so I used 30 boxes of those.
nimble flame
So it looks like I just cleared the outer checkpoint of the base, the entrance itself is still sealed with a LOT of zombies inside. There are some barracks outside though so i'll check those out first.
nimble flame
Day 23: Checked out those barracks I saw earlier, partially looted the place and will finish the next day. Got another 1000 kills out of that and an aiming level.

Back at it! Day 24 was basically just me fully clearing the tents/barracks area of the base, which definitely had a lot of zombies but at the same time a lot of medical supplies, military clothes and some ammo and food. I made various stashes outside each tent which I will pick up the next day.
Also my current kill count is 8800
Another note: the area right next to these barracks seems to be a large container deposit, that I have seen containing several military vehicles of interest. Definitely a place worth checking out but I have nowhere near enough resources to handle the zombies right now.
Which is why after grabbing all the stashes I made i'm going to head back home to take a break and check up on my generator, and also to possibly get my skills up to be able to hotwire some of these vehicles.

Day 25: A heli crashed in the barracks area while I was moving stuff into my truck, which didn't attract that many zombies thankfully but definitely made it evident that the area where all the vehicles are probably has the most zombies. After getting everything I got on the road, but had to spawn in a new vehicle identical to my old one since it somehow clipped into the ground. After that going back home took ages since all the weight in my vehicle made it very slow, (I need to remember a trailer next time), but a good thing was that I found a water trailer which will be very useful. Got home a little past midnight so at the start of day 26. The truck kind of got wrecked aswell since being slow doesn't help reduce bumping zombies.
