patrikpass Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 hello Lothar, i dont know, if my post is valid, because im playing official desura version.im surviving 1 month and 7 days till now. no problems so far.my base is nw brick warehouse at the edge of the town.living mostly on berries, but lot of supplies.my version has teleporting seeds bug and no rain barrels, so im not famring (but i have nice fenced place there for possible farm) and im collecting as much as possible pots and buckets of water.im slowly building wooden wall around warehouse (planning sentry tower for defending entires) and loot nearby houses for food and water. im starting to believe, that you can survive year and maybe more without farming and rain barrels. will see. avpoiding zombies at all cost.my character is park ranger with light eater, brave and strong perksi hope i will update after another month again good luck survivors!

Radeh Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 3rd try...9 days. I'm way too confrontational against zombies. It usually ends up with me picking a fight with 1-2 zombies and then not running when their mates arrive. PS: Just found this game 2 days ago...right now it a bit like crack...highly addictive. I'm actually sitting at work thinking about how I can best reinforce my safe house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrikpass Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 my opinion about project zomboid after 2 months+ of survival:(sorry for my low level of english) bugs and missing features in my official desura version:1)teleporting crops2)unable to create rope3)unable to destroy with sledgehammer4)no rain barrels 1) best profession:park rangeryour biggest enemy is rain.rain can pin you down when you need movingyou can get boredyou can catch cold beacuse of the rainas a park ranger you can also get prone to sickness trait and still not be ill during whole gameplay (except eating rotten food of course) 2)best traits:strong (youre willing to carry as much as possiblelight eater (you can survive your day on 1-2 forrest berries) 3)most important item at early stages of the game:tent kitcreate tent kit as soon as possible.its more important that any weapon. (you dont need to fight zombies. you can outrun them or you can hide)with the tent you can go where you wisheasiest way to finding parts for building your tent is NW city warehouse with brick wall. 4)best hideout/fortress:NW city warehouse with brick wall.lot of supplies therebuildings for additional looting nearbymore than one entrancesroof shielded from view with brick wallpossibility of farmingforest nearby 5)best weapon:your choice. i like axe. 6)most entertaining weapon:shotgun and pistol 7)leveling:no need to level cooking, farming and carpentrycooking - youre spending too much resources during cookingnot canned food will be spoiled after cca 17 days into survivalfarming - im unable to farm in my official desura version (teleporting crops)but i still see no point getting into it. to make decent food, you need to have more than one farmed food(if youre eating say only broccoli, your character will be not much happy about it). so youre again spending too much food for one day.water will stop flowing after cca 17 days into survival. you will still find some water in sinks and toilets. and after day or two the small amout will emerge in the same sink again. but still - water is more precious than spending big amounts of it for keeping your farm well watered.carpentry - yes, you can build great fortress. but for what? zombies will be knocking on your door one day and you have three options:a) stay insideyou will get bored, so you need to have lot of books, newspapers and diariesthey will come after you at some pointb)you need to distract themtake your shotgun/pistol and lead them as far as possible from your fortress/hideout. you dont need great fortifications for that. just to be sure youre not camping in building with glass walls (like malls and supermarkets)c)move somewhere else. live there for a while and if you want come back latercarpentry is good for two things:your charcter is occupied/going to bed tired so he never gets bored and creating crates for items. if you dont like messy rooms:) fast leveling:killing zombies with shotgunligh footed sprinting items i still dont have:bags.im still walking with plastic bagsi have more than two axes, i know where two sledgehammers are, but no bags for me so far:) suggestions:metagames and diaries-this game is isometric dayz for me. im discovering world, distant farms, looting buildings nad i would liek to see more content in there. to think about fates of dead survivors, about fates of zombies. not only flatland-i understand that this is maybe because of technical limitations of engine but if not, some hills will be great more triggered events - for examle big forest or city firesor mercenary raids overall impression:this is great game for very small ammount of money. you will get lot of entertainment for 5 euros. when youre suriviving for too long and you know all the map, every building and every item, you will get bored and replayability is small. but thats the problem of every game i think.good luck with your game!
