How far have you gone this playthrough?

My thing is, I go with electrical items as early as I can on my temp base.

That doesn't sound like a difference really, I do too; often times have a functional fence at my first horde (7hours in). Purchased parts; if it's the last thing I need, Mmmaybe a wrenched engine. Usually not needed, either I've found one or can't find the rest of the setup.

I do not think I did a quest until after maybe day 80 to be honest. Its all base building with me.

I used to be in that boat, but the game insists on making everything harder if you skip the loop. At some point, I just went, "Fine, ■■■■ it. Want me to quest that bad, I'll start speed-running the game." Brought me quite a few short games and a disdain for the design :P
 
Wow, this thread is turning into a very active (and educational --- for me at least) thread.

Weapon wise, I have so far used the gathering tools, bows/knives, and now spears. I have seen my friend use wire cutters and make use of generators and battery banks, powering up his blade traps. I just use spike traps.

I've had the game now for just over 2 years,, and Have never really gone past tier 3 quests, and from watching my friend being sent hither and yon (always over a klick away, it seems like), I just lose interest in the diminishing returns at higher levels. One quest/visit to the trader works for me at first, but not later on, what with no way to increase the number of quests I can 'take' at one time.

Content wise, my friend has been everywhere, done everything, and there is nothing new for him anymore. For me, I can still look forward to those higher tier PoI's, if I get bored. I'm still having fun right now, and Horde Night every night works wonders, getting my guy to 300th level.

Day 39, 0807 hrs...
 
At this point I'm wondering if people just stick to their weapons from start or have a different specialism at start that changes after a few levels?
Personaly I found the boneknife I always have on me to skin animals from early levels still effective when getting ambushed later on while on the other hand I changed from early spear to M60 for hordenights.

I know the improved knives are slower attack, any other reason not to upgrade to hunting knife/machette?

Dishong Tower is a fun POI to explore, so is the Hospital POI that I have not found in 1.4 for some reason. I have yet to enter a level 5 POI. Usually takes to much time and I am always doing something else. I did found out that the Electric Power POI has a boatload of wrenchable items that produce about 1500 electric parts which is worth more than 10,000 at a trader and is not too infested.

I have no clue on that. I have a hunting knife now and I don't use it often. When I kill a zombie dog I just use my steel axe as I do not think the knife will produce much more hide and bones than the knife.

As a side note: I was hoping someone would say "I had an Amiga too". The greatest game PC of the late 80s early 90s!
 
I remember collecting commodore 64's, with no idea how I was going to network them together, ended up with 7 of those, and 2 commodore 128's as well. And I thought I was bad ■■■, lol.
