Hii~ ♡ I'd love to hear how players usually spend their points? What do you usually start with?

I always play in a party so I start w/farming and cooking -> Strenght upgrading. Then I like to upgrade my loot search - and I keep listening that it's a useless skill (but I hope it lets me find more chimken eggs). I also always take health upgrades bc Im very bad at fighting zombies and I need my hp to auto-restore. So Im just curious :p

PS the last update made my Farming and Cooking way faster to get which Im really happy with!

Normally, I have a few goto 1 point skills and then pump the main perk tree for the headshot, stamina, and dismember bonuses.

Are you sure? The increasing point cost of the general skills come without the bonuses from the main tree. This is a BIG downside for a lot of players.

Only for people who play STR as main attribute. For everyone else it´s a blessing. I love it.

@MissLapki That always depends on what my main weapon will be. Usually i go 2 points into that attribute and 2 points in the melee weapon of that attribute. Then Iron Gut and Packmule.
 
I play spears, so I'll start with 2-3 points in perception/spears and a point in parkour. After that, it just depends. I like having double quest rewards, especially after the rewards were nerfed, so I'll focus at least a little on daring adventurer while also building up spears and parkour. Those are the three I focus on early game. I'll sometimes put points into other things as well, but not many. After I'm good with those three, then it will depend on what I feel I need. Have I started farming yet? Maybe a point into LotL. Have I started mining? Maybe a point there. Scrapping? Maybe a point there. I never do cooking or armor or pack mule or any of the three things at the bottom of fortitude. I'll usually also start putting points into gunslinger at that point to improve my backup weapon, and then into sniper rifles to improve my horde night weapon. After that, it is kind of a free for all.

@MissLapki Forgot about the eggs, you only need masterchef for that. It increases the chance to find food items in loot. Lucky looter IS a waste early on. Moving your lootstage from 30 to 33 doesn´t do anything.
 
Playing on insane difficulty, I find it essential to bump whatever stat I plan to start in up to 3 then bring up that tree's melee weapon perk to 2/5. It's less about the damage increase and more about the stam reduction. Levels 2-4 points bring the attribute to 5 and melee weapon to 3/5. From there things can vary depending on the playthrough, but a single point in Master Chef and Living off the Land are staple pickups early on across all playthroughs. If running aginas my first stat, parkour and archery start being brought up early on also

Im sorry but what is STR? English is not my native :D
 
I usually go strenght in my single player games. Usually the path I go looks like this:
7-10 points Strenght with points in pack mules and the Sledge perks
5 points (6?) To get points in agility and parkour 2
1 point cooking
1 point farming
Go back to strenght until Strenght 8-9 with Sledge, pack mule, mastery perks. 8 or 9 depends if I find both cigars and strenght mod or not.
At some point, intelligence for physician 1.
After that either mother lode and tool perk or whatever gun I decide to use.
 
Personally, I'm a bit of an oddball. My points go into Miner 69er/Motherlode/Scrapping (can't recall the name of the perk) until they're maxed, and then I start branching out into whatever melee weapon I'm using, picking up utility stuff, etc.

Do you do farming n cooking at all or do you prefer only food looting (first weeks)?

I usually rely mostly on looting the first week since I usually don't have much recipes unlocked anyway.

I do build a farm plot in the first few days for the challenge, but after that it's mostly as I get the mats for more plots without specifically looking for them.

That's a fair point, but looking at the numbers, it's not much of a benefit. The opportunity cost of investing in the General tab is about the same as the old main attributes—except you don't get any attribute bonuses. It does save you one point above Level 1 compared to the 1.0 attribute system, so there's that. Having said that, I rarely invest beyond Level 1 in any of the General skills, so it ends up being a wash. YMMV

Master Chef and Living of the Land maxed out first with a few points in Animal Tracker. Want to start stockpiling food as soon as I can so have crates full for when I start my end game big build thing. Then resource gathering and the 2 weapons I chose. Spears and Bows this time.

thats an interesting one, I try to do the same but it turns out to be really hard to feed 5 hungry men and my own tummy

Well as a solo player with 40 plants (for now) that enjoys running around towns at night hunting/stripping cars like a chicken with its head cut off, stockpiling just naturally occurs.
 
@8_Hussars Yeah, but if i play INT/FORT for example, i don´t do any points in any strength perk at all sometimes. And even if i do things like packmule and miner69er the bonus damage doesn´t matter as i don´t use clubs, sledge or the shotty.


@Riamus Prescription sounds like an interesting attribute. Do you need to be a doctor for this? I will show myself out now.
