PC A21 Thoughts... not enough of a game

[warmer]

To echo others, the only way I know how to keep a game fresh after a 1000hrs is to make new custom maps, or include new mods.

To say this isn't much of a game is a syntax error on your part. If it wasn't much of a game I can guarantee you that you wouldn't have more hours invested in this playthrough than it takes to complete most AAA rpgs.

Then there is farming, where even with books/perks, it just is still not viable to really live off the land?

Then there is mathematics that shows that Living of the Land 1 is perfectly viable with an average gain of 1.5 plants per farm plot.

Is that a really really good return? No, neither is the return of miner69er 1 or the wrenching perk at 1. Lotl1 is poor man's farming just like miner69er 1 is poor man's mining and wrenching 1 is poor man's wrenching.

The fact that you said this makes me wonder if you even farm in the game.

SP:  One perk in LoTL, harvest and only plant seeds you find or buy from trader, you can still use it to greatly supplement your food source in the game.

2 or 3 hour days?

60 min days, mostly melee too. Rarely ever use a gun before horde night unless I need to kill a doggo, or something. Using ammo on slow walking low hp zombies is just a waste of ammo for guns. I do use archery thou mostly for sneak attack 1 shots. I run a str build, Don't usually touch another stat till my str is like 7. Pummel pete, miner 69'er and motherload are the main skills I up with 1 in master chef for the craft time reduction, usually 1 in the attack speed perk too. I don't get any gun skills are they aren't really needed till ferals are everywhere. Usually by day 3-4 I have a decent baseball bat and 5+ str, and can generally 2 shot non-fat zombies with headshots with melee on warrior difficulty. T3-4 quests start giving t3-5 steel clubs and tools, I don't worry much aboyt armor padded armor works even during the feral stages in vanilla, Though I do use heavier armor once I get the book so the movement speed reduction is removed in combat. Armor slows you down way to much in 7dtd that its silly. With the crit system I much prefer to be fast and avoid hits than take them.

Thats what I do, I get 1 in LotL and thats it, Corn seed's are everywhere, those animal feed pallete things in farms give 1-6 corn seeds each. I do wish Lotl 1 would lower the cost to make seeds so you could make 1 seed from 1 harvested crop and have at least 1 crop profit.

Grats for beating vanilla. You have unlocked mod support and should now try one of the big overhauls.

Find one that looks like it could be fun, watch a review to confirm and then play it locally or on a server.

Have fun with the bonus content.

Okies; all of that sounds quite similar to myself, you might be pushing just that little bit faster to get the "Some BIS" a little earlier - I had to check your original comment as the guy who quote you sounded like you claimed "full BIS" .. "some" by d8 is well reachable
