Same here, but so far happy on these settings: No traders, 50% loot, dead-is-dead, random map on default settings. It's day 13, set up shop on city outskirts. I have q5 wooden club with some mods, some pipe weapons, q6 primitive bow and just made a forge.  Days 3 and 4 was dying of thirst...

Well, that whole game is grindy, but in specific way. You fight a lot, and combat is pretty hard. You could switch weapons and "train" yourself in anything, but improvements are very slow. So even being aware of that, you end up mostly using what you are most comfortable with for particular...

+1 If they keep updating the game, I wouldn't even mind paying for DLCs. Maybe similar to Stellaris, each DLC brings substantial free updates to base game, but that way they can continue working on already released game for years.

Mount & Blade: Warband. It is grindy but both feels natural and can't be fooled.

Hide and stay completely still: e.g. if you are on top of some ruin but with path to you still available, especially if in wasteland  Do home chores: cook stuff, boil water, etc. Plan your next move, e.g.: study map, plan your next expedition, next upgrade, priorities for tomorrow, check how...

What challenge? Sorry, couldn't resist. I'm also one of those that can't play on defaults any more. So far though, I have been very happy that vanilla options exist to do e.g. permadeath run, no traders, 50% loot, random blood-moon etc. I perfectly understand that I'm in minority there, and I...

Tried the same idea in a19 on wasteland-only map with 75% exp and 50% loot. It was... an interesting experience :)   Took me a dozen tries to manage 4-5 days on permadeath. But after that chore, a "normal" wasteland-only map became not exactly trivial, but quite manageable :)))

Sound direction is also very confusing. Often I have no idea whether zeds are coming from left, right, front or behind - so I run few steps in each direction and try to judge by loudness of the noise. This might easily be the most annoying thing for me currently.

Needed to think for a minute, and there are two things that actually keep me playing - survival and variety. For both, it's just better fit to play permadeath with no traders, at least for me. For survival, lesser loot without respawn is a must. And for variety, limiting myself with different...

Oh, forgot: - watch for mines. really Use roads for walking. Don't run randomly, whatever your emergency. Clear the mines around your base. Clear the "corridors" so you can visually pick the safe route, even in the dark/bad visibility. Check surroundings before fighting even a single...

Tried dozen times wasteland-only run, the key is NOT to use traders - then it becomes completely different game. Best I got was to day 80, with this setup: wasteland only map without traders, permadeath, no nerdpole, no gimmicky bases, 75% loot, 75% exp, no airdrops, loot doesn't respawn...

I like this idea very much. I usually set the world to intentionally prolong the time it takes me to feel secure and all-set, when I get bored and just start a new world. (Last dozen games were: no traders, no nerdpole, dead-is-dead, lower loot, no loot respawn, lower xp, random bloodmoon...

Hi all, mac player with 1.400 hrs without unusual issues since a16 - up to now. I haven't played for 3 months and now in new game all the terrain textures are wrong. (I tried full reinstall, steam validation and also started a new game) Snow looks like dirt, but when I hit it it yields snow...
