PC Dear Diary: B240 Start on Default without traders

[Royal Deluxe]

Because some new players still encumber i decided to make a picture heavy diary where i explain my decisions

* On a map i dont know (Seed: "Survivor Style") (heres the link i did not really look)

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/939464436366212597/B933BCA1864C680E73B5053D5625733896831381/

* Without traders (removed all 4 from the worlds Prefabs XML)

* On Default settings

The wake up

(180 Degree turn)

Hehehe not so good like the Q5 auger i had once in my startcontainer, but still ...

So , i know now that i am in Snow biome, means i take me the time and Harvest 100+ Snowballs for water

In my front is a small cabin i will check as soon as i have the startquests and a Ironclub

Snow is nice for nights, you can see something, means i will make my base near the border to green but inside Snow with a campfire in it.

A few minutes later

This way i can upgrade my small 4x5 Base but i allready have a crate and Campfire in place

And then i saw that something went wrong ....

damn, ok lets start again

 

[Royal Deluxe]

So, new start

Wasteland, not really nice

But ok i make my Startquests and thgen i move direct into the green biome.

Damn i shoudnt have deleted the traders^^

well that i could solve

Ohh do you see this

maybe look on abigger picture

A nice cooking pot

 

[Royal Deluxe]

Damn a dog.......run and fight

Next dog

nearly made it to the green biome

Dog and a vulture,

damn out of stamina, no more bandage

and what we learn from this, if you start in Wasteland, delete the savegame or search a other server

 

[PoppaTot]

lol, most of my RWG saves start in the wastelands, play smarter, stick to roads, get through. No need to restart for a more favorable biome lol.

 

[JaxTeller718]

You do what 100s of other players do and that's bolt out of your starting zone and spawn zombies, then blame the game for killing you.

Looking forward to the rest of this. I think it will provide some valuable insight into you as a player. It already has.

Exactly. In the second picture you can see the road leading to trees of a forest biome.

It probably would be better to do the starting quests first because of the safety zone (good point, Jax) and you should have at least a club before going somewhere. Walk and maybe even stealth-walk to always have your stamina up. Onyl run for short sprints and immediately stealth afterwards and look around. Have stones in your toolbelt to divert dogs or zombies, if they have spotted you.

 

[Royal Deluxe]

So the 3rd game

Start in green, nothing special, i made my starterquests and then i moved on

Looks like moving south was a good decision, i hope i find water in the town

For the first day the stone shovel is a nice weapon (long range)

I nitpick the pois i hope for a gun without need to fight too much

 

[Royal Deluxe]

So at 22:00 of the first day

How big are the starting zones? On a recent game, I did my starter quests, then went the less than 100m to the trader (I thought it was kind of lucky). That's when a dozen lumberjack zombies swarmed the compound.

 

[Royal Deluxe]

lol, most of my RWG saves start in the wastelands, play smarter, stick to roads, get through. No need to restart for a more favorable biome lol.

What was exactly what i did, i followed a road that leaded the shortest way out of the biome, i died on that road

I made my Startquest in the startsafety bubble, but to leave the biome i need to leave this place. Whats your point ?

Exactly. In the second picture you can see the road leading to trees of a forest biome.

And i died exactly at the border of that biome

It probably would be better to do the starting quests first because of the safety zone (good point, Jax)

i did, you missed the 2 Screenshots of the issue caused by the Trader Quest

and you should have at least a club before going somewhere.

The Q2 Iron Club is not enough ?

Walk and maybe even stealth-walk to always have your stamina up.

Well Dog 1 Surprised me, dog 2 Came direct after that and fighting the 2nd dog i had aggro from 2 Zombies, exhausted by this fight the 3rd dog attacked togeter with a vulture

Onyl run for short sprints and immediately stealth afterwards and look around. Have stones in your toolbelt to divert dogs or zombies, if they have spotted you.

Well this is new to me, i can distract dogs by throwing stones DURING they chase me ?

 

[jdifran]

Pretty sure rocks cannot distract something that has aggroed on you. I think faatal fixed that during experimental.

 

[meganoth]

What was exactly what i did, i followed a road that leaded the shortest way out of the biome, i died on that road

Because of the picture of a cooking pot (which I don't see anywhere in the picture by the way) I assumed you were going into that direction, to get the pot and then further into that direction.

i did, you missed the 2 Screenshots of the issue caused by the Trader Quest

? Where are you talking about an issue with the trader quest, where are the pictures?

Trader quest is not necessary to get the perk points.

The Q2 Iron Club is not enough ?

All pictures are showing you in the middle of the wasteland with a stone axe in hand. I should have looked into your toolbelt though, sorry.

Well Dog 1 Surprised me, dog 2 Came direct after that and fighting the 2nd dog i had aggro from 2 Zombies, exhausted by this fight the 3rd dog attacked togeter with a vulture

If you run away far enough it should be possible (at least Roland told this as a way to lose zombies at night). It was also possible to shoot at zombies, stealth-run to a new location at least ~8 blocks away and they will just go to the place you shot from.

? Where are you talking about an issue with the trader quest, where are the pictures?Trader quest is not necessary to get the perk points.

But you can see in this screenshot that i have finished all Starterquests (and deleted the Trader quest)

The problem was simply that one fight lead into the next and so i had no option to sneak, rest, or what i would have done, nerpole to get the few seconds i need to survive. The 3rd dog gave me bleeding with the first bite arround one second after i saw him. And at the start thats a instandkill that bleed for 10 seconds.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

However day 2 is over and i had all luck i asked for

Near my base (well more or less safe roof) i found a working workbench

I remembered that i saw a school on my way southwards, and as i know a good place for clothes

In the bar next to my roof i found a cooking pot and on a other roof a easy accessable hidden cache

So that at end of day 2 this is my status

Clothes and stuff

Food/ammo and Tools/weapons

so i have most stuff i need

My next aims are

* a Vehicle

* Hope for a hoe to start a garden

Next day i will start to loot the more dangerous hidden stashes, and then i try to reach level 10. I really need to repair my tools

Cool diary, following.

 

[JaxTeller718]

If your play is teaching me anything Royal it is that I am not wrong when I say the challenge is gone.

Sure you did get nailed by the dogs, but on your forest start you have had a damn good game, with a workbench. All before day 3.

 

[Royal Deluxe]

The day had a few things i want to mention

Entrance to my base only over nerdpoling

Safes i ignore for 3 reasons

* I cant repair my sledgehammer

* My level is too low for really nice loot, and i have all i really need

* For the moment i have other prioritys

Vanilla Ramp exploit (they destroyed the oven, so i placed 2 frames)

(Can something be a explit if the Vanilla game do it ?)

Yeaaa serious

 

[Royal Deluxe]

-----------------------

I need xp

But its far easyer to fight outside

So knock on each door

Well it must not be the street, but a place i can control

Water, drink tons of water for faster stamina

I need Clayish soil for my Forge, but this field here i dont touch, this field i will use

Dont forget to harvest less obvious ressources on the way

 

[Royal Deluxe]

A few woodframes around the base on the roof are nice against vultures

Need plastic, wrench tyres

Coal give me coal for my wheels

Oil, i need oil. I use the weaker wrenches as first, so i can reserve one for the workbench (can be broken) and i can smelt the others

Well that was day 3

Status at end

* Forge is running

* Food is nearly empty

* Tools are repaired and i have Forged Iron to repair

* 6 more coal and i have a bike

 

[Royal Deluxe]

...Because of the picture of a cooking pot (which I don't see anywhere in the picture by the way)...

meaned this decoration poi you can see arround 100m away on the pic we talk about
