"HARD START" APOCALYPSE IN A NEW CITY! - Infection Free Zone Gameplay - 01

[@CharliePryor]

THIS PLAYLIST GETS CUT SHORT due to updates not being backwards compatible pre-release. We’ve restarted in a new playlist at VERY HARD with the release version. Same map. I GUESS I JUST LIKE THE PAIN! - Infection Free Zone Very Hard Gameplay - 01 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX2VYX2EnrhqY68

[@dennisallen5463]

Agree! I am close to GR as well

[@dieseljester]

I think that this is cool that it takes RL locations and converts it into the game.

[@gamester512]

I've used both my current home address as well as my previous home address and both locations are good beginner locations as they're fairly rural, and while a city is nearby, it's not nearby enough to factor in to the threat level of that particular region. It's kinda fun to see how well you can survive using your actual home address. Of course, you can also try locations like the Pentagon, White House, Disney Land, Fort Monroe, West Point, etc.

[@Sometimes_Traveling]

Yeay new episode! This is the first game that really catches me in a long time, can't wait for more and the official release in a few days to play it myself :) Glad to see you are using the queueing function this time around, that was making me nervous 😀

DUDE!!!!!! I grew up in the area this play thru is at R.I.P Studio 28

[@theshizzle9959]

Happy for the restart!!! Glad you are doing more scavenging at the beginning - just makes sense to deplete the area first. Fingers crossed on the new save - looking forward to watching the journey!

[@son_of_caesar8908]

LETS GO!!!! I'm glad you decided to get going with the second play through! I really enjoyed all the other videos, even with the bugs and frustration.

[@jkohlers]

I would always leave a squad scavenging until the car is full, and then return to the HQ, as you have enough weapons and people to form 4 more squads and defend the HQ. It is very expensive to travel long distances and return with the car half empty. In fact, I'm loving this series.

[@oskarandersson1948]

oh, a place Ive bin to as well! Tanx for playing this game .... all over again. Ill be buying it for sure, because of you!

[@rglover82201]

I reccomend walling between buildings to cut down on how many bricks you need. Just wall between buildings you don't convert. You've got plenty of buildings to wall between. They won't tear down abandoned buildings. They make a good barricade. Then you can pop a tower behind each wall section. Just a thought. Because you had such a problem with bricks your last play through.

[@jdiddy84]

Alright Grand Rapids! I grew up in and my parents still live in Kentwood just to the east of where you started! Right about at M-6 and Kalamazoo. Maybe you can do a raid on their neighborhood in a later episode. Loving the gameplay!

Keep this going mate loving the game play. Watching from new Zealand 🇳🇿 🤙

[@charlesingram9471]

I really hope they plan to add elevation to the maps, in a way that places we choose will look a bit more recognisable and feel a bit more real than the completely flat maps we have currently.

I live in Lansing, so I've been trying various locations around Lansing, including the suburb-urban area I live in. I think it is pretty cool to be able to play with your own house in a game, not to mention locations you are very familiar with, like where you went to school, where you shop for groceries, places you've worked, etc.

It’s definitely a different experience when you can play a game that takes place in an area you’re familiar with. ;)

[@jagordon1976]

Looking forward to this one. I'm so glad you can repair cars. Now your HQ won't look like a junkyard! LOL Can't wait to see how you defend the base - this start does not seem to have as clearly defined a border as the last one did. Hopefully a smaller wall will make it more defensible.

I'm posting this at the beginning of the video. I'm from Grand Rapids. It was a great city. Past 10 years the homeless has skyrocketed. It's weird hearing you name these areas and streets and I know exactly where you're talking about. You should go to the Van Andel Arena or Devos Center.

[@stevdor6146]

we're going to Grand Rapids, MI (this is the city where i was born, though i only lived here

[@CharliePryor]

Wyoming MI is in Kent County, as a suburb of Grand Rapids, basically. Much easier to associate a relative location by the major city than it is the minor area around that city. It’s also confusing when that suburb is named the same as another state. This is why instead of saying “we’re going to Port Washington” where you’d likely have no idea where that is… I’d just say I’ll be in the New York area.

[@ratty_at]

I mean yeah, you may cannot utilize a big HQ to its full capacity, however, like you pointed out in the lasts series it has still the benefit of higher HP.

My best friend works at the bowling center park center lanes and my parents just a leased a building out of the strip right next to the lanes. This is crazy! I love apocalyptic games and I’ve been into dayz, project zomboid but I’ve never heard of this game. I used to play halo wars all the time looks kind of similar.

Maybe make the first walled area half the size of the last one so the wall is prioritised more.

[@joemomma1776]

My wifes grandmother lived in this neighborhood lol. Know it well

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

i hoppe the game devs will do 2 things 1. ensure some good elevation stuff ,both as landscaping tool for the survival aspect of your fortifications since the lay of the land how it affects attackers is a big part of why castles grew up in some places 2. re-work the map algorithm so that yes , chose start area aka START area ,but your not 'imprisoned' in said start area much like factorio be the perfect style you can expand as you wish or just ..move.. area as you wish

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

and ye ofc also have to fix stuff like 'units' should be able to fire at individual other units regardless if seeing the 'command' unit of another grouped force or not and things like obviously buildings should still be functional to the same % they are intact while adjusted or expanded or repaired , and of course still dam exist XD a wall dont turn etherial just because you start lay bricks in the hole it got

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

and dang , ye the current assets , fixed map sizes and no elevation algorithms for landscape realy makes so only dull flat american citys can be rendered half decent , not to mention with the trope of most buildings in urban areas being multiple story height ....towers & walls.. seems like a secondary schematic development compared to just ''lower floor reinforcing & ramparts'' to turn multi store buildings into add-hoc bastions of concentric defenses with ramparts infront of them and fresh wall between them ...rather then around them

[@MDamm-lz9gw]

can you use the buldings as walls and let your own wall go between them?

[@damagingthebrand7387]

Hey, I grew up in Holly! Hi almost neighbor.

[@tylerbeets4016]

For this play through can you try making a barn and cookhouse in the same building?

[@METALFREAK03]

unless they changed it, you can't do half and half in one building. But the best layout I have seen is have a warehouse in the middle with two cookhouses either side of it. And you can continue the same pattern when you need more cookhouses.

[@saisonblue]

can you use the long buildings as a wall? or integrate them in the wall, even have infexted hide in them so during the day you go clearing them.

[@danielmartin1792]

Are you able to tie walls into buildings to reduce the amount of wall needed?

[@jesseallen3109]

aye. there are other youtubers out there who've been playing and restarting their runs many times for the past year. in places like New York it is imperative to use buildings as walls as tearing down a 15 story building takes ages. Better to just use it as a wall that you don't have to worry about because currently the game doesn't have where zeds can clamber out of windows and fall into your protected zone. If the Dev's implemented that it would be both more realistic AND annoying.

[@matthiasthulman4058]

@jesseallen3109 if they were smart, they would implement some sort of internal barricade system. Taking materials from upper floors or non load bearing walls and fortifying the outward facing windows on the first floor, basically.

[@jesseallen3109]

@@matthiasthulman4058 That does actually make perfect sense. However the game doesn't have that mechanic, which it really should because if the building is 3+ storys tall they could dismantle the third on up floors to make the bottom two be just an oversized wall/pest trap house with the above material. Also by doing that it makes it so the 3 story tall guard tower can now shoot over the 2 story wall (as we've seen they can shoot over 1 and some 2 story houses). The only question then is how would the in game mechanic work for the time to dismantle the third and higher floors into materials and how much of the materials it garners? it wouldn't even have to have the material gathered to the warehouse as it's being immediately used to seal off windows on the lower 2 floors as well as, since we see they can climb buildings, making it so they can't climb onto the new roof that is the third floor and still come toppling into your secure zone.

[@ricorommeldumaplin4822]

I do wonder if you can adapt a building into two functioning structures, like a one building that is half cookhouse half storage for example

[@CharliePryor]

Not possible in current build

[@ricorommeldumaplin4822]

@@CharliePryor hopefully that would be possible in the future updates, along side being able to build your own structures such as a greenhouse that you mentioned in your last playthrough

[@jesseallen3109]

it kinda makes sense though to not do that. because at this point the build of the game lets you build half a structure when you have low materials but desperately need said structure. just a pain to have to have it unusable when you fully implement it. >.> surprisingly (or not) no one actually uses it for that and just clears buildings, metal scraps and trees at the same time in their desperate bid to make it quickly.

[@jer3llinc.527]

Are you able to play multiplayer on same map but not know each other’s location?…if not would be a cool add on

[@zelkovalru]

Getting close to home for me, bud.

[@Comicsluvr]

I'm going to wait for the bugs to be fixed before I invest in this one. Like Charlie, I would be SUPER frustrated if I couldn't target something.

[@jesseallen3109]

there is a more game breaking bug still in there since prior update, which is that save and quiting then restarting from save can essentially break the game as it can't load the save. dunno if it's because of clearing too many buildings and other things but it's ruined several people's play throughs. The reason i say it may be due to the clearing too many buildings and what not is because usually it would first start with small oddities of respawning plants or buildings that were not there from the first play load (which has also caused the game to be unplayable because one person did a start in a castle and the new building essentially blocked everyone from getting out of the HQ and their people died trying to clear that new building because of how big and convoluted it was).

I would use the buildings for walls (as well as proper walls). Less materials on your walls and less upkeep.

[@strategygamemike]

I missed the last two of the first playthrough, but I feel like the bug out with the weather and the bugout with the meat not getting cooked kind of messed things up out of your control

[@gamester512]

It's worth noting that if you want to, say, use your actual house (or where you used to live) as your HQ, you can literally put in the address (Street, House Number, etc.) and the game will literally take you right there and have that location selected as your HQ....though it's possible that it may deem that address as too small for your HQ (this was the case for my old home address in Rotterdam NY, my old home address was deemed "too small", but my neighbor's houses were fine....which I'll admit was a bit annoying, but whatever). This makes it very easy to find a specific location that you have in mind to use as your base, provided you know the address for that location.
