A good guide so far for beginners and people looking to get into the game. I just made it to the point that you spawned into your world (20 min mark) and wanted to point out a couple of things. The only big issue I see is with the sandbox creation. As someone said already you're currently playing using the apocalypse settings which is the hardest option to play with(also the sandbox default). It would be best to start new players on initial infection which changes a lot of the settings, starts the player off with basic gear, and makes things A LOT easier. Also, you don't have to change the starting time to catch the cooking show. If you spawn in a house with a TV or find one fast enough you can still catch the cooking show in time if you turn the TV on immeadiately upon spawning in (though changing it to 5am DOES give you the time to find a house with a TV if you don't have one in the starting home). I pretty much never spawn in houses with TV's so I usually find myself sneak jogging to the nearest house in hopes of finding one.
@DrIncompetent Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the feedback! You are very right that I mistakenly didn't change the sandbox setting from apocalypse, which made the game harder! If I could change that about the guide, I surely would. Initial Infection is good for people who really want an easier experience, but I like Survival mode the best--even starting as, although it's harder, is not as punishing as apocalypse and it's what I did the first time I booted it up and enjoyed the game ;)

Tip on world creation, the world he has created in custom rules is based on the more difficult Apocalypse ruleset, if you want a more survivable ruleset, the bottom middle bar of the screen has a box, click it and choose "Survival/Survivor" for an easier selection of default settings. This doesn't require any other changes to settings that YOU need to do, but it allows you the minimap, multi-hit, and a few leverages on your life that won't make you frustrated, because Apocalypse rules are meant for shorter lifespans, Survivor rules are for longer lives.
@DrIncompetent Жыл бұрын
This is a very good point! I was mistaken and thought the default rules that weren't changed by custom would default to survivor, as that is the default play mode in my mind, but you need to change that, as explained above from apocalypse to survivor to make your experience easier!

Just picked up the game over the weekend, definitely going to be following along while i learn. I made the early game easy, increased the spawn rate of most everything, but made it so zombies wont respawn. I figure doing so i can have a better understanding of the mid to late game stuff(farming, working on cars, building bases, guns, etc) then worry about learning the more punishing aspect of the survival aspect later. And RPing as a Perpetual from 40k sent to cleanse my home city of infected for the Imperium is also very fun :D

On thing I have noticed just by watching PZ content is if you find any bag or other transportable container you could fill it up with stuff and just leave it outside. If and or when you get a car you can roll around picking up any bags that are in the street. Maybe you don't need all those cans of food right away but if they are contained in some bag you can just roll up and throw that in you car and roll away. Having a red tool box out in the open would be pretty eye catching.

I know im late to the party, sorry, and i dont know if anyone else has mentioned this yet, but a tip for breaking into houses: You can keep working at windows until they either open or you hear a loud *snap* of the lock breaking. Watching you circle the house not fully checking most windows and staying too long on ones with broken locks was ironically funny to watch in a tutorial video

Such a good video, thanks for making the time to create this! Looking forward to next one. Initially it seemed like your explanations were too detailed, like for someone who is not at all familiar with these concepts, but I was so wrong! The way you explain makes it stick and helped me notice things that I would have otherwise ignored. A pleasure to listen to you talk.

You've done like 10 different guides for games I've either wanted to learn but couldn't for whatever reason (Wayward for example) or played so long ago I've forgotten/the game's changed so much (Zambies) that you get a sub. Holy shit you put out some great content. Edit: Oh my god you're a real life Mr. Mackey, mmm'kay? Your style works so well... but I had to give you a little shit about that verbal tic.

@@DrIncompetent Mine's "y'know." I tend to ramble off into the clouds and "y'know," is my attempt to make sure I'm grounded by asking other people if... well, if they know what I mean. :P You should do a guide for Siralim Ultimate and/or Warsim. Both games are blind playable and neither game is a simplistic audiogame. Honestly, I think you'd get a kick out of them. SU especially.

thanks for this! subbed. im in a clan for hell let loose and one of the members has created a custom server with 300 or so mods, i bought the game last night and tried it out. died pretty easily, did the basic tutorial. but this will help me so much more. he was spectating and didnt say anything unless i asked. my 2nd life i was hurt that bad i was limping and bleeding being chased by a hoard, ended up running through a few houses front doors and out the back to lose them. his mods are more extreme as he has been playing since day one of this game. more agressive zombies and more of them. havent tried the normal game version. his server isnt permanently up yet, still testing some things so i guess i will try the normal version today. told him i was going to focus on fighting zombies first just so i get use to the range and timing. doesnt layering clothes make you sweat though?
