actually this is all I need since I bought the game. I have seen at least 3 series, nothing is comparable to this series. Yours is more than enough to give to people to tell them about the game.

[@Miraclefihs]

I am rlly liking the casual gameplay with the tips!! And ur voice is nice to listen to

[@OttosTheName]

Appreciate it :D

[@mahdi.ahmadi.]

Started the game 3 days ago , this series is awesome i learned a lot just in this 2 episode i'll watch next ones and i hope you keep making it 🙏

[@ptitenoli9219]

I watch your video, I begin a save confidently because of your video, I die within the first day, repeat.

[@joseph891]

Goal is to survive longer, each run 😂 Eventually you'll get used to the game feel a lot more confident 👍

[@michapozdrawia4179]

Overconfidence is your biggest enemy. Respect the strength of hordes and stealth of that single shambler behind you. You’ll do great. Stay safe and be careful!

I just got the game and trying to get into it. You're the second youtuber I've found who really gives a very good, easily understandable playthtrough for newbies 😃 New subscriber here

[@canadianbearman216]

want to get better at zomboid so im watching this while i grind runescape leagues and ive already learned a shit ton. thanks for the great videos man.

[@LapsedPacifist79]

6am show is always cooking, 12 is carpentry, 6pm is survival (traps, farm or forage). Also I heard you make a noise when you found bleach. If you empty it, it makes an excellent water bottle that lasts longer than the standard ones at the cost of weight. Very useful if you take high thirst.

[@OttosTheName]

Nice, I always forget what airs when :D I typically go for the Bourbon bottle, it's 12.5% lighter than the 'normal' water bottle but it holds 25% more. I can't recall how it compares to the Bleach bottle. Early game I'll take anything that holds water though :D

[@matthewwagner47]

Safe to assume noise is a keynote for the zombies. If you can yell and they come at you A loud vehicle would ring the dinner bell.

[@GNotEazy]

Enjoying the series. I hope there’s more to come

[@OttosTheName]

Absolutely! At least playing through a couple weeks, we'll see what we do after that. There is of course a chance of death, but I'll switch it up in that case :D

[@NghiaNguyen-zo4je]

U r 1 brave soul living in 1 story house. I always base up in 2 story, destroy the stairs, and use rope to get up and down.

[@Skiggles]

I gotta say, you helped me keep from refunding this game lol. I just couldn't figure out the combat until watching the first two videos. Thank you!

[@damianps4streaming950]

If you're into mods I've heard there are some that make the combat better but I'm not sure

[@slimeigo]

I love the game but I suck like I die in three seconds

[@OttosTheName]

The game is great... but yeah combat is hard to get used to. Sadly I can't explain much about how to actually fight. You kind of just have to get used to the timing, when to turn around, where zombies are likely to sneak up on you, etc... But if you stick with it Im sure you got this. I have friends that sucked at this and after some hours it just suddenly clicked and they were kicking ass. Don't be discouraged :D

[@slimeigo]

@@OttosTheName You deserve more subs

[@daenwallace5487]

Yeah, me too. I played a lot and got a little tiny bit better. But not much...

[@badbuddha2359]

Same..

[@coltonkruse2313]

If you set the game to builder mode it is way less intense. That's my only suggestion. The controls are a bit to get used to for battle. My first 3-4 characters definitely died pretty fast though.

[@TheVirtuallyAddicted]

Take the scavenger trait and you will be amazed at what uou find in dumpsters including fresh ice vream.

[@sneakatchoo3763]

I think I missed the part where you explain this... but why do you leave your loot in piles on the floor outside?

[@OttosTheName]

Big part lazyness. But also everything on a pile you can store 9 * 50 = 450 weight and see it all on one go if you stand in the center. If you have a bunch of weapons and have to spread it across 3 crates you have to look into 3 crates to find the right item or to get a sense of what you have. With the floor piles you can just see everything you own in 1 go and sort by category or name. It's pretty convenient IMO. Later I do make a wall of crates and organize.

[@sneakatchoo3763]

@OttosTheName ah okay that makes sense. Thanks for the reply. Just watching video 3 now.

[@dioratabiny]

Love ur vids

Think I would want to play this game with a controller.

[@damianps4streaming950]

I'm currently playing with a ps5 controller but it can be a little fiddly

[@RonAImovieclips-y5i]

U use cheat sir? Why you did not appear to be thirsty really quick .. what settings you have to do it sir?

[@OttosTheName]

@@RonAImovieclips-y5i i carry a water bottle... Your character should autodrink from it (though you can turn it off by right clicking the water container)

[@RonAImovieclips-y5i]

That's awesome sir now I know thank you for your info and I love to watch your gameplay now sir

[@RonAImovieclips-y5i]

How to turn on auto drink sir?

[@OttosTheName]

@@RonAImovieclips-y5i right click a water bottle, click 'enable auto drink'. It should do this by default, but there is a bug that makes you have to enable it every time you start a game.

[@RonAImovieclips-y5i]

@@OttosTheName ok sir thank you.. I'll do it if I played it again on my PC .. I just have to buy motherboard coz it's have issue and I can't run my OS
