Planning to do a 100% vanilla yearlong run. 1k hours here I come

[lusty zealot]

going to post the progress here. yearlong ironman run on apocalypse settings, vanilla,

[lusty zealot]

traits

[gritty gulch]

I usually skip handy because carpentry is easy to leave but other wise the perks are solid

I’m not a fan of brave though

[lusty zealot]

took handy for maintenance, brave is good as it reduces panik which can help with combat but i could have taken something else yeah

[lusty zealot]

attempt 1 is down died to a zombie that got into my base whilst i was sleeping, meta event dragged it over, it waws going so well as well had two working cars with fuel and my carpentry and everything was high

sucks

attempt 2 i changed the traits a little so that i can have a higher long blunt level from the start

[gritty gulch]

@lusty zealot the zombie should not aggro into your room with curtains/closed window/closed door if there was no noises

[jagged matrix]

speed demon good choice? I'm no pro but isn't it just a waste

[hollow frost]

it has saved me on multiple occasions cause of how I can speed out of situations (you can slip past two hordes that are converging just in time, I know cause it has happened to me once) but it comes down to your play style

[jagged matrix]

that's valid man you do you!

[pseudo horizon]

its mediocre according to the better trait description mod it gives +15% top speed in cars but +200% noise when backing up

[lusty zealot]

yeah there was a gunshot medal event

Meta

Just pathfound through the house

[lusty zealot]

If you have one trait point left there is no reson not too, also if you drive carefully its fine

second good attempt, i had a couple where i got alarms early on in the places i wanted to base up and i didnt have the means to clear so this is , in reality like the 3 or 4 attempt, i based up in the school to prevent any more sneakups like in the first run, but skills are going well

day 2

btw

[little mulch]

speed demon is a waste

[gritty gulch]

Speed demon is the most valuable trait per point

[warm mantle]

Everyone sleeps on speed demon till ur stuck driving thru trees/mud

[lusty zealot]

update on latest run 19 days in going good, going to start getting to work on mechanics skill to start transporting all the canned food and stuff to my base

[jagged matrix]

Dude you've inspired me to completely uninstall all mods and do a fully vanilla run, thank you

[lusty zealot]

rotten pancakes up there for some reason, single player, never entered this room before, i love pankacke fantoms

[lusty zealot]

yippie

[gritty gulch]

Vanilla only

[lusty zealot]

Yeah, on apocalypse settings with no mods

It's kind of funny because I'm also doing a multiplayer playthrough with mods we have the bandit mod on so whenever I hear a gun meta event in solo I piss myself

[lusty zealot]

made a fishing base (havent posted in a while as im doing other things irl) one month and 2 days in

[gritty gulch]

Nice optical illusion

Can you fish from the second floor?

[lusty zealot]

i dont know actually i will try

ok so what i did is i placed down wooded floors and then removed them basically recyceling the planks as after i removed the floor it left dirt but i come back and the dirt is gone but i can still walk where it was

also no i cant fish whilst upstairs

[lusty zealot]

so i got a little lucky whilst clearing zeds

not like it matters as i just got fucking bit

im so pissed

literally just blundered whilst heading back to base

the pain is imesurable

[gritty gulch]

I got bit after 3 months last night
