Hello !

Not sure that everyone will care but Im proud to say that Im still alive after 15 days. Still a noob because I bought the game years ago but I didnt reach 100h played yet.
This said on sandbox 42, riverside spawn, I set my base south east of the town in a farm, middle forest.
Vanilla zombies except lower start multiplier and saliva only.
Food for a week but still not found any generator nor axe for chopping woods. And a zombie crossed the wall and ate 3 chickens including my fav called Chicky 😦

I ll keep you updated if you like (sry for bad english and pictures)
Ive found nice unerground basement in town ! (Including one full of painting lol)

First night in my car, too late to come back

Had a pillow in the glove box, used it after blocking the door as you see

My metal base ball bat broke juste before

Fortunately found a base ball bat in the house and a steak in the fridge

Cooked it and slept uncomfortable but still alive ! 17th day oof

I died after 18 days "(

Too much trust, searched the truck above, attacked the 3 zombies but a fourth came from nowhere

I got bitten and died 😢 (set the infection to immediatly)

It was short on the discord but long for me even irl, nice story

Ps: didnt find a single axe within 18 days in game wtf lol

The amount of zombies outside this town is crazy

#

#

Ammo and guns extremely rare
Non perishable food extremely rare

#

main harbor Yeah, thats Crazy 🫠

Dude Im still alive

18th of May, there was a storm the day before, managed to change my car to a van for storage

Found some animal feeds for my cows and rabbits

Rosewood is lost I think, so many Z, I looted what I could but now its only danger everywhere

Ill provide picture tomorrow but went on a trip from my base (X7966 Y11067) to a new place I didnt know (X7267 Y8333)

Insane amount of Z... but insane amount of clothes and farming materials

For some reason ... I survived

I have multiple scratches, I m into pieces but still alive lol

Its a miracle as PZ can provide sometimes

fiery tapir Feb 11, 2025, 10:13 PM

#

Went on X3802 Y8550 to get some farm stuff

Idk if its the todays update but it was full oz Z... and full of stuff

I set every weapon and ammo on extremely rare (except melee to rare) and here what I found there

Its completely crazy

I filled my 130 capacity van 2 times with only 2 shops, its incredible

The isolated house 100m away is now my outpost as I was overweight (like my van) of stuff

I dont even know what to do with all of this lol I have like 3 desert eagle, 4 other handguns, 3 rifles 1 shotgun

Its insane

Still alive, on my way to my best score, 1 month ! Im proud to do it in B42

fiery tapir Feb 12, 2025, 10:07 PM

#

Going pretty good, found some... chickens before echo creek, at to sleep in the house after some zombies killing

Put some gas and went back to base full of stuff again

Soooo... its over lads 😦

After surviving so many things, panick mode, slide on the tile and bitten by Z

This character went through so many hard wounds, last night in the car, managed to find a garage in the middle of nowhere

Just for dying like this in the country club 😦

Almost one month and a half survived on vanilla 42 except a lower starter multiplier and saliva only

The rest for Z was vanilla

Thanks for having read all of this 🙂

But its over 😭😭😭

#

Found this house, what happened there lol

On my 15th day with this character, OK for now

Rain collectors set (x2)

Crops growing

Going fine (until now)

velvet stone Feb 21, 2025, 6:13 AM

#

If that’s you’re base you probably need to move out the corpses

#

Do u don’t get sickness

fiery tapir Feb 22, 2025, 10:34 AM

#

velvet stone Do u don’t get sickness

I burried them all no worries

Some of my crops failed because reaching end of august

Despite fertilizer or rain/water, I used repellant too

But still going on, Im still alive

#

Locked door ? Dismantle I need the loot lol

fiery tapir Feb 22, 2025, 2:50 PM

#

Slaughter in the middle of nowhere

And generator behind this locked door !

Outpost made in the same area (x3865 y8431)

fiery tapir Feb 22, 2025, 7:46 PM

#

Chickens ready 🙂

Found in a trailer on the round, car crashed

There was some chicken inside and a baby

Grab them and bring them back, built an hutch, set a new area and lets go

#

Nice basement found randomly lol

Love to still discover b42 even after 65 hours on it

fiery tapir Feb 23, 2025, 2:29 PM

#

Had to clean the garden, tons of bushes and grass after a loot run

Collecting eggs everyday, until now its unlimited food lol

fiery tapir Feb 23, 2025, 10:14 PM

#

My main save is bug, I still have my one month (and almost a half) alive

But there are towns I never came in with like 5 Z

Playing vanilla, tf happened ?

Kept the save to not lose my character like this, and started another one

#

For some reason my paradise became hell

I dont know where they all came from LOL

Not even the heli wtf

That was insane

fiery tapir Feb 25, 2025, 12:16 PM

#

Kept my main character saved and continued with the new one

Harder settings, vanilla zombies with migrations and some hordes even before the peak

Survived the first heli event (I set to not only once), had to hide in an auto repair shop, he appeared when I was fighting in the middle of a carpark lol

Harder settings with loot too, some on extremely rare (non perishable food, medical, clothes...)

Found tons of planks in the truck trailer X10263 Y10974

And had to sleep in the hangar X10130 Y10877

Allowed me to set barricades on my house (Z broke almost all the windows)

Rain collector is up too, for now I'm safe and ok (for now)

Not even 15th day and there are groups already, like 25 Z in the middle of nowhere

Gonna be fun lol

Nice, hope u didn’t get scratched.🙏
But if u want some new cars you would drive to the outside cinema (my English isn’t the best I don’t know the name for it) there’s a lot of car spawns there and you will almost every time see a couple of keys on the ground

fiery tapir Feb 28, 2025, 3:09 PM

#

velvet stone Nice, hope u didn’t get scratched.🙏 But if u want some new cars you would drive...

Thanks mate, I'm alive and safe for now, survived the 2nd heli event

#

Cars are set to easy and low damages (lost a car because of a random family of rabbits running in front of me)
But I set them to rare to balance it, I actually have 3 cars between my 2 outposts
