7 days to find honey.

Im only lv 10 and i have gotten infected 20 times , you cant buy more then 1 honey, and you cant make anything to help this. 30 stumps still no honey , but now i need 3 jars of honey. This is so stupid. Honestly makes players quit.

You need to balance this out !!!

7 days to find honey is not that fun of a game. ALSO get us some servers to play, there is none.
 
Sounds like bad RNG luck. I've had times when I go 20+ stumps without honey and then find 5+ in a row. Now that there are apiaries, honey doesn't stay a problem long even with bad RNG.
 
Remember, there is a probability of 0.2 of getting honey from a single stump. Breaking 10 stumps does not mean you will always get 2 honeys. It's a Binomial distribution. To actually experience getting honey really close to 20%, you would have to break close to 1000 stumps.

Apiaries appear quite late. Sometimes I could only build them by the end of the second or third week. And wax for their construction is even rarer. Although, of course, in a winter tank you can collect wax quite quickly.
 
You ARE guaranteed to get a server to play after beating on just 200 stumps. But there's also the possibility of an angry swarm of griefers...

Infected 20 times you say? Hmm.

It only took one infection at the start for me to suffer for over a week because I could neither find nor buy enough honey to keep me ahead of the curve. (A21) Infection hovered around 20% for the longest time. Almost ditched that save, actually, but it's definitely bad luck. I don't think I've had such bad luck since because I've always looked for stumps along the initial route to the trader and have always come up with one or two. I don't know that I'd start playing in earnest without at least one handy. That experience was awful.

Seems to me your playstyle is "agressive risktaker". It might be more for you you raid a few Pop-N-Pill's than to chase stumps, anti-biotics are more powerfull than honey.
Or try your luck in the dessert with the beekeeper so you can build the apiary. To be fair, that is no guarantee either: Only got my first beewax from his lootbag after nearly 200 days.

I once, a couple alphas ago (not sure which one any longer) did a no-forest playthrough, so I started in the desert. Got infected within 5 minutes (stupid vultures) and spent the next 7 days searching for honey/antibiotics through medical POIs and traders. Never managed to cure my infection until Day 10 (finally found enough honey/antibiotics at traders), but it got up into the 80s before I managed to cure it.

That was certainly a memorable playthrough (I also took down a Dire Wolf pack in the first week, thankfully they showed up at night) but I don't know that I would call it fun.

Wait if you got infected 20 times that means you have been able to find or buy honey at least 19 times. That sounds pretty good to me.
Well at least access to some form of antibiotic :)

If this statement is not hyperbole, then there is likely a knowledge / play style issue.

1) Simply stop getting hit so much. Do not expect to out tank zombies for very long.

2) All player weapons have longer reach than the zombie arms. Learn the various attack animations, stagger mechanics, attack during knockdowns, etc.

3) Movement is often your safety plan. Kiting zombies, stringing them out, etc. are key to getting ahead.

4) Craft and wear Armor immediately. All armor reduces the critical hit chance.

5) During early game hit every stump while traveling around. Stockpile a little honey for those rainy days.

I had a bad start like your once. I found it an interesting and fun challenge to dig myself out of the infection hole.

7d2d is not an MMO. There are plenty of servers, they are just closed. Players open them to friends/family and community groups for coperative play. Many players do not enjoy entering a rando server, or having randos join thier game.

It's faster to chop down tree stumps in the winter biome. The bag drops very infrequently.

There are many open servers, but each has its own rules and mods. Finding a server for yourself is quite a long process.

Considering he posted this before, I'm not sure he should need tips at this point. Sounds like he needs to just turn down the difficulty or play another game.

I don't think even a brand new player would get infected that many times. You'd have to be trying to get infected that many times by level 10. That's 20 times in what would likely be about 5 game days for most people I'd think. Do you just stand there and let zombies gnaw on your ankles nonstop or something? How do you supposedly have over 6k hours and are still struggling with this?

There have never been and likely never will be official servers. Again, 6k hours and you expect this?

To be fair, initialy I thought he is just trolling. With is extended experience he should know better than whine about this the way he does.
