Mike4Life Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Sandbox, obviously. It's just better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BioRemnant Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Sandbox, obviously. It's just better.Out of curiosity, in what way is it superior? Doesn't it just boil down to preference? Survival is technically the "realistic" difficulty (the golden standard, if you will) -- the way most people (I assume) play when they are looking for a decent challenge.

Insanehuman Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Survival, if i play on sandbox i'd probably only make the days longer or make the game easier, so i'd rather play a game type i can't change haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grogmonster Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Sandbox, the only thing that I change is the infection speed so that it is instant so that I don't have to wait to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat_Fuzz Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Sandbox always - becaus if quickly click next on the options, you're playing survival mode anyway, and if not, you can tailor the game as you see fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necrokai Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Sandbox, because I can theoretically (since the game isn't quite finished) up the ante and give myself a greater challenge. Though Survival is enjoyable as well, don't get me wrong. There doesn't really seem to be much difference between the two except for the custom choices, so it's really a preference kind of thing.

Razgriz Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Yeah, agree with @Insanehuman, sandbox probably makes game more easy, cause u could changes loot rarity or zed´s behaviour, but its an excelente way to test new features or updates.

Rathlord Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I personally almost always stick to survival so I can give relevant feedback about loot rarity and zombie density- should be taken with a grain of salt, though, since a lot of the time when I'm playing I'm specifically bug searching or looking to give feedback on changes.

Brick Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'm the same as Rathlord, its hard to test a game when your changing options from the default So I usually just stick to survival Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shivster Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Survival.ButIf you are new to the game i suggest sandbox to get used to the game a bit. And just know when you quit the game and come back most of your choices in sandbox reset to survival levels anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas5251212 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 When I'm doing it I'm doing sandbox because I'm still trying to learn to do melee combat even halfway competently, and turning down the zombie density and strength allows me to get more practice in (as does making them non-infecting so I can survive an occasional misadventure). I still don't last long, but at least I last long enough to get some feel for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SobeR Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I played sandbox to make days longer and loot more rare, but then I heard its bugged .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Survival is technically the "realistic" difficulty (the golden standard, if you will) -- the way most people (I assume) play when they are looking for a decent challenge. i play sandbox with sprinters, tho i set the zombies to extremely weak and fragile, but i like sprinters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyEyes Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I used to play Sandbox to make the days longer but the time that in-game events took seemed to be scaled wrong (or didn't account for the difference in game speed). I would go from very full to no hunger moodle in under ten minutes, for example. Food also didn't seem to cook right; I could stand at a stove for hours and never see my salmon finish. I mostly stick to Survival now. Difficulty as intended, I can provide the most relevant discussion and feedback, and I'm finding less and less that I'd want to change sandbox options anyway. Fewer zombies? I'm not a baby. More zombies? I'm not stupid. More loot? I prefer to scavenge and feel elated when I come across an axe, not trip over three on my way to the kitchen. Even the day/night cycle doesn't feel as short anymore. I could see myself messing with Sandbox in the future if I wanted to play a certain way (I still remember the 28 Days Later run ) but for now I'm sticking with survival.

doomblood66 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 It really depends on what you want - sandbox is better for noobs as they can dumb it down to easier things, while survival as many have said is the 'standard' PZ should be played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty of ways to make the game harder in sandbox, and I know some people do. It's also a good way to test certain features or try out interesting things like a "28 Days Later" style challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etsamaru Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Sprinters, Superhuman Strength, Instant Infection, Many Zombies, Low Loot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footmuffin Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I generally play sandbox, but I leave the proper zombies on most of the time and lengthen the day to 3 or 4 hours. If I do change the zombie behavior, I set them to either less dense sprinters who are weak, have better vision, and have better loot, or normally dense fast shamblers who are extremely sensitive in all 3 senses, typically strong, and have normal loot.

VamyreLord Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Never touched survival. My sandbox setting most of the time: Zombies count low. Rare loot. Days longer. Water and electricity shut-off after a year. Zombies lore vary. I tried once the real-time day length, is this suppose to work? Does it count minutes in real life? Is anything bugged when it comes to time? (2.9.9.16) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bastard Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 at the dying screen survival needs to show a kind of stamp to prove that you're playing with default rules, for the sake of challenges made on the forum RoboMat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathlord Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 There's only 1 set of rules for survival, though?Oh, you mean show "You survived for 1 day, 8 hours in survival?" That makes sense. Kidlonewolf and Bastard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
