Hello All, I am back with another B41 run. If you read my previous post, you'll know I lost a very promising run due to me being lazy and wanting to skip a few minutes while grinding metalworking. That will not happen again. The lazy bit, I mean.. I dont have many plans for this run, but that doesn't mean it wont be a good time, eh? Well then, lets get into it. We have an apocalypse to survive!
Unlike previous runs, I actually started this one on day 1. You'll get to see the full journey from start to finish this time.
We started in a mechanic shop on the main straight of Muldraugh.
I dont plan on staying here long term, but then again I dont really have anything in specific planned. Maybe we'll find a good base location here, eh?
Our survivors name is Robert Dudney, by the way. He's a local to the area, and spent his time before the end of the world doing odd jobs here and there repairing homes and such.
The storage unit nearby the mechanic shop has a lot of good tools and weapons. We cant take all of them now, but we'll definitely be back to grab a lot of these.
I'll take an axe to use as a weapon for now.
Found a fishing rod and some other fishing related items in an open storage unit.
These will definitely come in handy.
I'll leave everything we find in the area at the mechanics shop for now. Its isolated enough to return to safely later.
Made it to a small neighborhood to the right of the lot the self storage was in.
Found a big hiking bag, very nice.
Woodcraft had a late airing today it seems. Caught it right as I turned on the tv.
__
This car has a key. It looks beat up, but everything is mostly sound mechanically.
If I can get some gas for it, we'll have a way of gettin' around.
Had a 3 month run end in this exact spot. Zombie jumped me as I was hopping the fence.
primal raven
This nail gun isnt that bad.
Its useful for training aiming quietly, at the very least.
This van has a key and gas.
I was hoping the truck beside it had that, but beggars cant be choosers I suppose. The van doesn't have much gas, mind you. Just enough to get it up the street to the house I am temporarilly staying in.
primal raven
Right then, we need gas.
Either we find some from a car or get to the gas station.
Considering the station is right off the main stretch, I'd prefer we get lucky with a car.
We'll start looking that way anyway though, just in case.
I like that challenger in the corner there.
Maybe we'll get lucky with a key, eh?
lets go see.
No dice.
The engine isnt that well off anyway, so..
There is a bit of gas in the tank though
Lets look around, see if we cant find a gas can in any of the cars in this lot.
Didnt find a gas can, but this car has a key.
We can use it as a "gas can" and steal gas from other vehicles to give to the van.
Got it home. Lets keep looking around, surely there has to be a more appealing option than the sedan or the van.
Now that is what I'm talking about.
Unfortunately its protected by the mob of angry zomboids wanting their $3.99 chicken bowl deals.
.. Damn, no key.
Its an import too, its Right Hand Drive.
Maybe the key is in the chicken place?..
No key unfortunately. Lots of chicken though, we'll put it in the freezers and come back for it later.
This hilux is in fairly good condition, and it has a key. All it needs is gas.
Luckily for us, I found a gas can earlier.
Lots of storage space too.
Well enough to get us out of Muldraugh.
primal raven
I've had an idea.
Theres a motel in Riverside, and I think it would be perfect for a base.
Right by the river, lots of room for expansion, etc.
Its a long drive from here, but we can make it if we prepare.
Came over to this warehouse to grab a few things of value from it.
Mostly Axes, Nails, Screws, Welding stuff, the works.
I also got a paintbrush, which is nice.
primal raven
Alright, I should have all I need.
.. Besides gas.
A bit more food would be nice as well.
Well then. Gas issue is solved.
This car is rather nice too. Shame its so far away from my planned base.
Who knows, maybe we'll be back down here eventually.
Jesus.
Went to open a door in a Spiffos and got attacked by 5 zomboids.
My jacket tanked two of the hits, but I got a laceration on my neck.
... Well then. Time to see if we catch the big one, eh?
Time to sit at home and watch TV. Pray we dont get a fever.
Ah hell. All the water in the taps has gone bad.
In other news, we're ok.
I spent a day watchin' tv. I have prone to illness, so if a day passes and we dont feel sick, we're in the clear.
... Thank god, I didn't feel like losing another character this close to one another.
We might as well stick around Muldraugh for a little while longer. Helicopter is coming any day now anyway.
Lets do a little drive around, see if we cant find a trailer somewhere.
Found one. Its in the bottom right corner there.
Now I just need to corral these zombies away from it long enough to hook it up.
Just barely.
Really shouldn't have hooked it up when I did, but hey, not dead eh?
220 storage in this tiny lil' thing.
Plus its manuverable to boot.
Good find, good find indeed.
primal raven
Alright then. Next up on the list is food.
Theres a Zippee Mart up the street that should have all we need. If not, I can just loot a few houses near our safehouse.
Lots of food in the Zippee Mart. We definitely have enough to get to Riverside and beyond now.
Found a few tubs of margarine in the nearby bakery too, which is nice considering I am at 69 weight and declining.
Might as well stop by this neighborhood on the way back anyway, see what we cant find.
This grill may be useful. Its a long drive, and we may need to stop along the way to rest for the night.
Having a way to cook food on the go would be nice.
Found a Genny Mag in a house.
Alright, that should be enough food for now.
We'll find a lot more in Riverside once we get there.
This Volvo has a roofrack. I cant put it on the Hilux, but it may be nice to take it for later. These cars aren't too uncommon.
This particular car leaves much to be desired anyway. Engine is 26%.
I found quite a lot of books, so I'm thinking we stay inside and read 'em all until the helicopter comes.
After it leaves we'll wrap up everything here and set out to Riverside.
I've barricaded the house a bit.
Mostly the windows, as one of them was broken in this room.
primal raven
Unfortunately we never get to know which is better.
I'm more of a pancake guy myself, but it would have been nice to hear it from the man himself.
Helicopter is comin'.
I'd comment about how the helicopter is bittersweet to me, but I don't want to sound like a broken record. I say that every run.
It is, though.
I believe its time to go.
We had a late day heli, so it only came over twice.
Just gotta get them away from the truck..
Top 10 reasons why I dislike Muldraugh.
Alright, lets get out of here. Theres nothing left for me here, anyway.
Strange. I stopped at this truck to see if it had anything useful, and two zombies had two different D6 keys.
But they aren't to this truck..
Anyway, we need to stop. I left late in the day, and its a long drive ahead of us.
We'll just snuggle up against this truck here.
Single cabs aren't the best for sleeping, but hey, its better than concrete.
Alright then, lets keep moving.
Despite the condition of this truck, it has a full tank o' fuel.
This is a rather bad wrecksite.
We should be able to get around the left side there.
Check out that Firetruck though. That would be cool to fix up eventually.
It would require a LOT of work though..
That Hilux over there has a bed cover.
Wonder if it'll fit mine.
Looks like it will. I'll have to take off the rollbar with the lights though.
I can also take the rear bumper.
What do yall think? Which looks better?
At this rate I'm going to take an entire week to get into Riverside.
I just cant help myself though, I love to stop and look at the vehicles.
That Volkswagen is really cool.
Theres also a firebird and a supra in this wreckage group.
Remember earlier when I took that roof rack off a volvo?
Here's a much better condition one.
There are a lot of cars I want to grab from down here, so we'll be back here eventually. I'll mark it for now.
.. We may need to clear this area out.
That is a very nice trailer.
... Unpleasantly surprised.
It is actually much worse than the tiny U-Haul we have there.
This muscle car is an Import. Very cool.
Great condition too.
Theres a Silverado here that isnt half bad either.
Might as well stop by the gas station nearby while we're here.
Think they are twins?
4 empty gas cans in this station.
We'll be set for a while.
We may as well stop here for the night, seeing as I just got drowsy.
The trailer was such a nice find, it's come in handy.
Alrighty then, back on the road we go.
primal raven
That bumper is really nice.
This is the 3rd Hilux we have found. Seems to be a fairly common vehicle.
That bumper is the only worthwhile thing left on this truck.
Kudos to the company that built it. Damn tough.
Problem is I need mechanics 3 to take this off. I dont want to damage it.
Its fairly close to Riverside, wont be too much work to come back and grab it another time. I'll mark it.
Thought this road would lead to the river. It didnt.
Ended up wrapping back around towards West Point.
We did find a couple cool vehicles on this road though, so it wasnt entirely in vain.
Seriously, whats with all the cool cars on this road.
All of them are wrecked, but still.
Funny thing. The road I left earlier went to the river anyway.
Gotta love it.
Alright, we've made it to the outskirts of riverside.
I want to slowly work my way in, as just rushing to the motel would bring the entire town down on me.
Lets see if we cant get over to that house there.
I don't have a good place to park the truck for the night, so..
Well, we got there. A few of the doors and windows got destroyed, but that shouldn't matter. We're sleeping upstairs.
Found a better bag in this house too.
Only 1 more carry weight, but the weight reduction is higher.
Check out this jacket. Looks pretty cool, if I dont say so myself.
That should be good. It'll give me a warning if anythings coming, at least.
I love bits of storytelling like this.
Maybe if we're in the area, we'll clear out that art gallery for her.
Lord knows why would be in downtown Louisville though..
Alright then, lets get back to it.
primal raven
Alright. We're here.
Hopefully its not alarmed.
Theres even a water source right here.
I wont fish out of it, because thats cheap. Why would there be infinite fish in a pool.
I will be taking water out of it though, I feel thats fair.
Well then, lets clear it out.
Theres even a built in laundry room. I'm a sucker for having these operational after the powers out, so this pleases me.
Last time I was in here was on a multiplayer server, we made a base here.
Trippy to walk into a room expecting to see something completely different and just seeing a normal motel room.
The motel is ours.
Lets do some looking around, eh?
Plenty of stores nearby to loot.
primal raven
Luckilly for us, the local hardware store is just around the corner.
Upon looking through it though, theres no sledgehammer.
Theres a factory up the road, so we'll head there to see if we cant find one.
... Later, of course. I need to set up some storage crates.
Well would you look at that.
It seems we dont need to head back to that volvo we saw earlier after all.
We'll make the storage unit in this room.
When we get a sledgehammer, we can blow out the wall to the left and make the room much bigger.
We have quite a lot of nails as well.
Considering we dont have to build an entire house from scratch, the 10 or so boxes we have is quite a lot.
There should be quite a lot of books in the post office right next to the Motel, if memory serves me right.
I need Carpentry 4 anyway, so might as well go over there.
Oh yeah. Lots of books in here.
Already got carpentry 4 & 5 from the first shelf.
The bad thing about this Motel is there isn't a stove anywhere.
We can always get a gas grill or a barbeque for now though.
I actually have one, brought a wood burning barbeque from Muldraugh.
Raining today.
I like the rain, gives a nice atmosphere.
This is a nasty storm though.
Its comin' down real hard. Good day to stay inside and read Carp. 4.
primal raven
Well then, we need Carpentry 7.
We can tear apart pretty much every bit of furniture in these downstairs rooms. I won't be usin' em.
Luckilly that didn't take too long.
Lets get some crates up and unload the truck / trailer.
That should be enough for now.
Still raining today. I planned on heading to the factory after we unloaded the truck, but it seems that plan will be delayed.
primal raven
Turns out I needed much more storage.
Had a lot of different stuff to organize.
Even if we wanted to go to the factory after we finished though, its much too late in the day. That took forever..
We'll prepare for tomorrow.
Jesus christ.
That zombie got to me before I could get up. Luckilly my jacket tanked the bite..
I heard the bite noise and my heart sank faster than the Lusitania. If you know you know.
We're boarding up all the windows. Not taking that chance again.
A shame, I liked this jacket too.
We can still use it, I suppose. Just need to find a doner leather jacket.
Right then, lets head to the factory eh?
Pray for clear roads and a sledgehammer.
...
Alternatively, we could deal with several migrating zombies for some reason.
Right. Now we can go.
Not too bad here. Haven't see up ahead though.
Lets see if we cant make our way over to the warehouse.
Right then, lets take a look around, see what we cant find.
First glances aren't bringing up much in the way of a sledgehammer..
If there isnt one here, we can always check the factory across the street.
well, across the lot.
Regardless of the lack of a sledgehammer, theres a lot of good stuff here, so this wasn't entirely in vain.
Theres an Antique Oven here, which is very nice.
We'll definitely be taking that.
It'll make a very nice stovetop as well as giving us some heat when winter rolls around.
I've looted most of the warehouse for what I need, so lets go check the Factory.
Oh you beauty.
Absolutely perfect.
Theres another antique oven here as well.
Overall this has been a very successful loot run.
I wanted to stop by the storage unit place near here as well, but with the two antique ovens we are bringing home we wont have the space. Its close to town anyway, we'll just come back another time.
Right then. Lets do a glance around the parking lots here, see if theres anything interesting before we go eh?
I'm starting to think we're cursed. Every cool car we've found so far has either been wrecked or not had a key.
This volkswagen is top 10 best condition cars I have ever found.
Literally everything on this thing is perfect.
On another note, its getting rather dark out.
Lets park the truck in the warehouse and sleep here for the night.
Alrighty then. Before we go, I want to take a quick look at the other end of the lot, see if we cant find anything interesting there.
Theres quite a lot of zombies, so we'll just drive through and window shop for now.
Thats pretty cool.
Other than that the lot is full of sedans and work vans though.
Well then, lets get home.
We have quite a lot to unpack.
Maybe I should have waited a bit. This is awful weather to be driving in.
The sooner we get this motel walled off, the better.
We should focus on that before we do any interior work.
Actually, now that I am thinking about it, its VERY foggy.
We can start tearing down some of the interior walls for now until the fog clears.
Theres a very obvious line in the carpet where the walls used to be, but we cant really get rid of that.
The textures on the walls and the floor cant be cleaned up. Not in B41, at least.
Its not that big of a deal anyway. Once we get more storage stuff in here it'll barely be noticable.
I want to have a mechanic bay on this side. I think it would be cool.
We can have doors on either side so you can drive through on both ends if needed.
We'll need Metalworking 6 to get the proper garage doors, but we'll get there with time.
For now, lets get these walls out of the way.
What is it with zombies breaking down my windows and trying to kill me?
We'll add a plank on each window as we go along to avoid further complications.
Well, crap.
I forgot to turn the lights off in this bathroom before I destroyed the switch.
These will be on until the end of time.
Much better.
Those lights being on wont affect generator usage too much anyway.
primal raven
Well then lads, I've learned something.
Each room in Zomboid has its own lighting. You can kinda see the hue shift between each room.
Apparently, this causes performance issues if left this way, so..
We're going to be adding a few walls.
We can still have the rooms connected of course, just need a few doorways in there to seal off each room.
Won't make much of a difference. For the garage I'll have 4 tile wide roller doors inbetween each bay, so we can still have the rooms connected together.
The wall cant come soon enough.
Not being able to see due to the trees here is worrying me. I need the logs anyway, so lets get rid of em.
I've been thinking about how I want the wall done, and I think I've decided on something.
We can have sections. The motel being the main fortress in the middle, and branching areas after that for other things.
For now, lets just seal off the motel itself, get a bit of safety in here.
I'll connect the far left wall near the truck to the right one, close to the street.
We'll put a gate there so we can get vehicles into the core of the compound.
I'll have one on the other side eventually, but its best we only have one entrance in and out for now.
I'm going to move these stairs eventually, they are in the way.
I have a feeling I'm never going to truly feel safe here.
With groups like that constantly hanging around, if they hear the generator they'll be pulled right in.
primal raven
More progress on the wall. I have all of the framing set up, just needs to be filled in.
Also added a gate.
primal raven
Right then. The powers going to go any day now, and I still dont have a generator.
Probably best we unpack the truck and run down to the storage unit near the factory, see if we cant pick one up.
Alright then, lets head over there.
This Blazer is mechanically sound. Too bad it doesnt have a key.
Anyway, we've made it here. Lets take a look around.
Just what the doctor ordered.
If theres a second one here, I'd like to take that back as well so we can run the gas station when the power shuts off.
And heres a second. Beautiful.
While we're in this area, lets stop by the restaraunt thats nearby, pick up some fresh food.
Good lord that is a beautiful truck.
That would be perfect for towing potential project cars home.
... Per usual though, it doesnt have a key.
Maybe theres one inside.
Very sound mechanically as well.
... No key unfortunately.
When we are able to hotwire, this is the first vehicle I am coming back to get.
The diner is alarmed, wonderful.
No burgers for us lads.
We'll put frozen storage down here for now.
I dont know where I want the kitchen yet, so..
Lets go around town and hit a few food stores, see what we cant save from going bad.
How have I not noticed this sitting here?
Oh my god. The curse is over.
And its a good vehicle too.
Not only that, but theres a larger variant of the U-Haul trailer we have in this lot as well.
It has 490 storage. Good lord.
The truck has 655.
We just got ourselves a very nice rig.
.. When we fix the engine, that is. Just checked it, and its at 29%.
Wont be too hard to get up to mechanics 4 so we can fix it though.
We'll park it in the far corner for now.
I need to get rid of the fencing around the pool. Makes it really hard to properly manuever vehicles in here.
primal raven
Y'know, I just realized I stopped saying hello to yall since I started this post. So..
Hello. : )
Lets try to get the walls done today, eh?
Before we start chopping more trees, lets continue what we were doing last time: gathering fresh food.
We're 21 days in, and like I stated previously the power is going to go out any day now.
Might as well try to save as much as we can.
The local Giga-Mart should have quite a lot of meats and such.
That van alarm went off for some reason. Didn't even touch it.
I was going to cut across this parking lot to get to the giga mart, but it seems fate had other plans.
We'll have to clear out the lot out again. Its not as bad as a house alarm would have been, but still.
Got into to the giga mart via the back door. Unfortunately all the meat in the display cases has gone bad, but there should still be some fresh produce in the freezer section.
Oh yeah, plenty of stuff here.
Theres enough cheese here to make a lot of pizzas.
Lots of fatteners as well.
Right then, lets get this home before it spoils.
primal raven
The wall is done lads.
Ain't it a beautiful sight?
Now that we have some semblance of safety, we can start grinding mechanics. I wanted to wait until we had a safe area walled off before doing that.
primal raven
Got rid of the railings around the pool.
This truck will do nicely to practice mechanics on.
Right then, we can hotwire now.
I've been wanting to go pick up that tow truck ever since we left it, and theres plenty of time left in the day.
Lets go grab it, eh?
primal raven
Apologies for the gap in posts, right after we left to get the truck I had to get up for somethin'. Dont worry, we're fine.
I stopped in a (mostly) safe area.
Last time we were in this area, the building just next to the mechanic shop had an alarm tripped. I'm hoping I can get to the truck without much trouble.
The factory on the way in was flooded with undead. Doesn't leave me with much hope for the truck.
We'll have to wait and see.
Not too many there actually. I estimate around 30, which for being right next to an alarmed building isnt that bad.
I cant see at the other end of the lot though, so we'll deal with whatevers over there when we get to it.
Alright, we got to it. Lets hotwire it and get out of here.
Took me about 20 tries, but we got there.
This thing hauls the Hilux like it isnt even there. It'll be perfect for bringing home project / scrap cars.
I think it would be nice to have a carport where the tow truck is.
Have it run the length of the wall to the motel balcony. Maybe we can have a foremans office above it?
Awful storm just rolled in. At least it'll refill the pool.
Today is a great day to stay inside and read Mechanics 2.
We're running a bit low on food. Luckilly for us, theres a fully stocked food store just across the street.
Guess we're having a dance in the rain.
I really need to get rid of these trees. Not being able to see whats right beside my base bothers me.
Hated every second of fighting that group in the rain, by the way.
Could barely see 2 feet in front of me.
Alright, that should be enough for now. It will be very easy to go and grab the rest later, as I dont want to be running in the rain all day.
I definitely want this room to be my "House"
This was the main room of a multiplayer base we had at this motel a year back. Brings back memories.
As much as I love the rain, it makes my PC sound like its about to take off.
Marked all my Annotated Maps to pass the time.
We have none for riverside though, which is a shame.
We have achieved Mechanics 4. This unlocks quite a lot for us in the way of repairing vehicles.
This car has served its purpose. Time to haul it into a field.
We'll give it a view of the river. I feel thats the least we can do for it.
Lets go find the next in line to be torn apart.
What is it with that corner of the motel?
At least its not raining as hard this time.
Theres a lot more of em this time though..
This is concerning. If this many keep showing up around the Motel, they'll attempt to break in enmasse when I turn the generator on.
I have a theory they are all coming from this back lot.
The van alarm that went off a while ago did lure a lot over here.
To hell with these trees.
Much better.
Putting the generator here keeps it away from the walls, but also powers this half of the Motel.
It doesnt solve zombies hearing it from the side its closest to, but I haven't seen many on that side as of yet.
This van we hauled in is in pretty good condition besides the engine.
I'll never use the van itself, but we can definitely salvage these parts to use for later.
Then again, a lot of KI5 vehicles use vehicle specific parts..
Eh, to hell with this thing. Higher condition means I get to tear it apart for longer.
My theory was correct. They are definitely coming from that back lot.
That alley connects directly to it.
The local bookstore had quite a few useful books for us to read, including Mechanics 3, so we'll be taking a day or two to read through them all.
Oh hey, Robert has grown hair and a beard.
He started off clean shaven and bald, so this is nice to see.
We'll have long flowing hair soon enough.
I was just about to say Day 27 is the longest I have ever seen the power stay on for.
I'm sure you can guess what happened as I was typing that.
Lets go check around a few neighborhoods, see what we cant save from rotting.
This is a perfect example as to why daily perimeter checks are needed.
primal raven
We got a pretty good haul.
A lot of this was sitting for half a day thawed, so it wont last forever. We best eat it while we can, eh?
Until we get more walls up, I am going to do perimeter checks every morning and every night.
It shouldn't be hard to put up some new ones though, our new U-Haul trailer has a LOT of storage space in it.
I think it would be best to wall off this entire street.
We can connect the clothing store there to the breakfast store, and have another wall connect the two stores where those two wrecked cars are.
On the other side we'll have to take down some of that picket fencing and put the walls there to connect it to the food store.
It'll be a bit of work, but nothing we cant handle.
We have all the time in the world on our hands after all.
I believe that's all from me for tonight lads, see you all next time I post. Have a wonderful day / night.
primal raven
Hello again lads, I'm back for more work on the base.
Before that though, we need to clean the storage room.
It looks like a bomb went off in here..
Much better. I also added a few more storage crates.
I want to eventually have a 4 wide garage door there.
This solves the lighting issue, and also keeps the two rooms connected in a nice way.
Thats much later on though.
Thats a problem.
I'll need to take a few vitamins and rest for a bit to deal with those. Much to close to the base.
Tomorrow we will have survived for one month.
Seeing as we have also gotten the motel in decent standing, why dont we see if we cant make ourselves the first celebratory pizza of the run?
That is, if we had any yeast.
... Which we dont.
I never fully looted the Gigamart, so lets go see if it has any yeast.
While we're out, we can fully clear the parking lot.
Took me a while, but we got there.
I brought the big trailer along so we can fully clear this place out in one go.
Theres a hole in my boots. Just noticed.
Good thing I have a few spares at the base.
primal raven
Thats all she wrote folks. Fully cleared.
Lets get this home and start unloadin'.
For tomorrow, we dine!
indigo lynx
what the zomboid
primal raven
what the zomboid
hello my friend
Anyhow, its Pizza Time lads.
We have officially hit a month.
.. We dont have salt.
We have everything we need but salt..
Well then. We'll make pizza whenever we can then.
Lets try to make somethin' else thats special, eh?
Lets make a pie.
Pineapple, apple, peaches, and lime.
Its not a pizza, but its still delicious.
We have reached Mechanics 6. Excellent.
We can pretty much work on any aspect of a vehicle now, besides upgrades.
Next up on the chopping block is Metalworking. I need it for a multitude of things.
Right then, we need propane tanks.
The gated community in Riverside has a lot of garages. I tend to have decent luck finding propane there.
This Volvo has a key. We'll be back for it later.
A zombie just hand delivered me my weapon of choice.
We made it to the gated community, by the way. I'm goin' through all the garages to see if I cant find a propane tank or two.
Its a good thing I came around front to clear these zombies. That would have been HORRIFYING to open that garage door to.
One of the houses on the far end was alarmed.
Best we stay away from the motel for a while, let them all filter over here.
Theres probably way more than that we cant see.
A shame too, that crown vic in the driveway looked pretty nice.
That alarm is going to have riled up the entire town.
I'm just hoping the alarm didnt draw the zombies beyond the motel over. I don't need hordes knocking on my door in the middle of the night.
I wasn't aware Hiluxs were popular enough to draw that large of a crowd.
Jokes aside, we'll need to fight them to get to the truck.
Ah, I left the engine on.
When the alarm went off they just naturally puddled around the closest noise maker.
I thought there were only 2 banging on that door..
8 garages and not a single propane tank.
Not only that but the factory didnt seem to have any either.
... Make that 10 garages.
We'll sleep in this garage for the night. Stayed out much too late.
We'll check around one or two more garages for the hell of it.
If we dont find any here, I'll head back to the factory and double check.
No dice. Lets get out of here before we trip another alarm.
Theres no way theres not a single propane tank at the factory.
I must have missed one.
Then again, I was skimming it for a sledge and nails.
We'll head there another day though, its rather late for me.
Thank you for reading, have a good day / night.
primal raven
Hello lads, back for a bit.
I'm thinkin' we should work on this truck a bit before we head back to the factory.
It would be nice to just take this down there rather than the truck and trailer.
I might have to clear out the entire road to that place though. Last time I drove through there the factory had been completely overrun.
It'd be nice to have clearer roads anyway, considering we're going down there a lot.
But anyway, back to the task at hand. Lets see if we cant fix the truck up, eh?
Surprisingly I haven't picked up any metal sheets. I've marked where quite a lot are on the map though, so lets go pick some up.
The hardware store we looted prior should have plenty.
Right then, we need some spare engine parts.
Theres a couple vehicles in the parking lot nearby that I'll never use, so we'll tear apart those engines to get some.
Unrelated, but its been raining a LOT this run. Far more than any other run I've had.
17 engine parts should be enough for now.
Made that 19, found 2 more lying around.
75% is a much healthier number.
Especially considering we just fixed the hood and the front bumper.
Theres a bit of time left in the day, lets head down to the gas station and see if we cant get a generator hooked up to it.
If not, we'll just come back tomorrow.
Jesus. Got jumped by 5 zombies when I opened the gate.
We're fine, just a bit rattled.
Anyway, I just got drowsy as I was leaving. I'd like to save my vitamins for when I need em, so we'll just go to the gas station tomorrow.
We really need an outer wall though. The further away the zombies from the generator, the better.
This only further proves my previous point.
The gas station is ours.
Luckilly the station itself wasn't alarmed.
Lets get a generator set up and refill our gas cans eh?
The hilux is all fueled up, as are the gas cans.
The two heavy trucks we have are going to take a while to fill up though, especially the military rig.
Alrighty. All our vehicles have full tanks.
At the very least, this will be nice for fuel storage. I'm not going to be using the tow truck all the time, after all.

Hello again lads.
I'm thinking we spend a few days collecting logs for the exterior walls. We'll need quite a lot.
I've seen quite a lot of zombies near the woods I am going to get logs from, so we'll need to be careful.
We're going to build a wall here, might as well put these trees to good use.
That, and I would like to be able to see any zombies lingering by the wall.

368 planks should be enough.

Is this alive?
I was just about to pop in to say somethin' regardin' this. It is, I have just been doing other things. Me and a few buds got a minecraft server up, so I've been doin' that. I'll get back to this eventually, dw : )
I'll be taking it slow next I play as well, seeing as I've had two weeks off. Rust kills lol
