Hey Roland. Nice video on working w/o your backpack.
Watched you and wanted to point out a few things.
1.Torches: You can craft more.
I know, but I don't worry about lack of light usually anyway.
2.Was surprised that you did not chop up zombies for resources like fat that is needed for making torches.
I do chop them up when I have plenty of backpack space. It didn't feel like a priority to me.
3.Snowberry's can go a long way to keeping you fed and alive and all around you. Just don't eat too many of them at once.
I hate them
4.About snakes: Either go in with a close combat weapon or run away. While they are not fast, they are hard to hit with arrows.
Lesson learned
5.Don't forget about making a bone shiv. Like a knife, it can feed you, cloth you, keep you warm and dry. Makes a good weapon to. It is also the best way to gathering meat and fat from dead body's.
I usually do and I keep it in slot 8 of my tool belt. But that is when I have 32 additional slots for other stuff.
6. Turn off your forge when your not using it. Saves a lot of fuel and reduces your heat footprint.
Don't be a nag! I conserve in rl because my wife nags me and this is my escape...
7. If your going to stay close to home. Dump out anything that you don't need so you don't waist stuff by dropping it on the ground.
I thought I did that using the chest I made and then the cupboard in the cabin <shrug>
8. About the forge. Did you know that you can split the stack and put it in both slots to get it possessed twice as fast?
Yes, I know. But I don't worry about playing optimally.
9. Best way to move stashes is to literally drop everything (including clothing) and run. That way you get the most out of each run and are not distracted by zombies other than the need to hurry. Taking a stimulant helps.
Nothing prevents me from getting distracted. Nothing.
10. Arrows. Your using them way to much. Suggest you switch to your ax to finish, like you said you would do earlier in your video.
I said I usually craft a club and switch to that but I wanted the slot more than a club so I was going to just use arrows. You're right though about using my stoneaxe to finish them off. I'll start doing that on Day 2
11. Glad that you finally ate and drank. I was wondering when you were going to look at those stats.
I never eat and drink until I am close to 0%. That means that when playing with no HUD I wait until I hear my avatar whimpering and groaning and the stomach noises. I never check my food and water bars on my character screen. I only ate that chili and drank that water because I didn't want to carry them and knew I was down in percentage by that time of day. Otherwise I would have waiting until nightfall and/or the sound effects before eating and drinking.
12. TS 33:54 when making choices drop the ax and the bow. You can always recraft them and they were worn out anyway.
Good idea. I guess I like to cling to those because of how useful they are but they are also very easily re-crafted so it makes sense.
13.Lose the grass. You can get grass anywhere. So unless your making stuff out of it. Stow it or drop it. Don't smoke it either.
Good call.
Grassy Ass (Gracias)
14. Try scraping stuff whenever you can to save space. Scraping also works like a temporary inventory slot. You can keep it in there till you get back. Things like crappy gun parts, nails and other junk.
I know this. I scrapped the empty can of chili and the claimblock and filled all the slots with other things knowing they would be held in my queue.
Anyways I learned a lot from your video like making more stashes. I like to leave them next to things that are easy to find.
Thanks Roland.
