A loaded pistol? A second vehicle? This is a quick guide to the starting house, everything you can find there, and how to get your trip off to the best start possible!

Randomly generated open world semi-post apocalyptic survival car driving game. With giant zombie rabbits.
This is a road trip game in an almost infinite random generated desert. The focus is on freedom, driving, exploration and immersion. It has minimal car maintenance and survival elements.
There are no invisible walls or unable to jump over small fences, or blinking red "wrong direction" signs on the hud. The car won't need 10-20 liter fuel over just only a few hundred meters, with a full tank, you could go approximately 500 kilometers. If you see a distant big mountain, you can go there and if you are capable, you can climb it. If you don't like where the mirrors are facing you can adjust them however you want or throw them away while driving at full speed. If you want to lean out of the car, or closer to the radio or near anything, you can.

You don't need to spawn a truck to bring every single barrel in the house with you- you get a pallet, and can weld that to the roof, slap all the barrels up there, and they will never fall off

There's a box of shotgun shells 12 in the attic on the support beams right side next to the katanga on the wood

[@DigbyCCeasar]

LOL there's one I didn't know!

[@catalinb5603]

Thanks Mr Digby! I've learnt a couple of things today, even if I've played this game for a while now! I've learnt that you can clean the cobwebs and that you can assemble the whole motorcycle or moped from the get go, I didn't realise that! Here's a couple of tips in return...you can fly on the broom by, sitting on it, just like you did, but then you need to grab the "tip" ( I know, I'm childish as well ), and move the mouse slowly, too aim it in the direction you want to fly, after which just scroll up and you'll get forward momentum, scroll down to slow down! The other thing is that you missed the second wire brush, it's located on the top shelf in the garage, in front of the car, in the top left corner, next to the 1 L bucket of water, under some cobwebs! Nice one! Keep doing a great job!

[@DigbyCCeasar]

I knew I was gonna miss something lol!

[@superguy5738]

the gold bullion and dumbell are used for better steering if you put them in the trunk of your car, they weigh the back down

I've aways seen motorcycle parts laying around but never knew you have all of them needed to build the motorcycle/motoped!

[@DigbyCCeasar]

LOL it's one of those things that you see, but just not as a big picture. Amazingly easy to miss that!

[@JHFBBN]

the best thing to do if you want cargo space: put one of the palletes on the roof of the car and activate physics lock for +trunk, rack you can also mount the baskets for more organization also if you shoot moms letter it starts leaking blood

What? 70% of the things shown here, I had no idea about, and I've played the game several times in its early days. And watched Skapegote play an absurd number of seasons through the game.

[@northof-62]

Nice one. I have some experience, but you showed me a few bits that I missed anyway. Many newcomers waste the spray shine on the car panels, and have to do the starting miles with wonky tyres. I also get up on the roof with the binocs and locate the closest ship for more gas if that is the initial engine. Live and learn is the fun.

[@DigbyCCeasar]

Yeah, there are so many tricks that help out once you learn them! Especially the value of good tires lol...

You missed the 2nd brush, on the highest shelve of the shelf. You can see it when you go into the attic and as soon as you get to the rough condition bucket that has 1L of water in it, get onto the shelf's most upper shelve and search for it.

[@DigbyCCeasar]

[@gib112]

I'm at 1860 kms with the plymouth, equipped with the bus engine, bus wheels on the rear only and over 400 liters of diesel in the car. I cut the engine as long as I can, so I have enough to do the remaining distance without refueling... and it's boring 🤣

[@DigbyCCeasar]

LOL! Careful, the Jank gods will hear you and decide to make it interesting for you!

[@SpunkMayo]

BBs and pellets are entirely separate things. They're pellets in-game.

[@DigbyCCeasar]

It's a regional thing to where I grew up lol.

[@SpunkMayo]

@@DigbyCCeasar that's wrong entirely though, that's like calling a car a truck.

[@DigbyCCeasar]

@@SpunkMayo LOL regional things are always funny like that. Some places a porcupine is called a hedgehog, where I grew up people called them quillpigs. A gyro sandwich one place is called a hero sandwich in another and a sub sandwich here where I am. I imagine the origin of it is just that "pellet gun" and "bb gun" are used interchangeably a lot of the time. EDIT - just for fun, the word "truck" comes from "truckle" which just means wheeled, so in a sense a car is a truck 🤣

don't know anyone said that already, but the name one the first trophy, StarkPanzer is a hungarian youtuber, the minecraft dangly I saw already been written who she is. There are a lots of stupid joke in hungarian in the game, like the brown pack of cigs name, parody of the brand, sophianae, in game called szopjálle (very similar pronunciation), roughly translating suck me off, or the bottles, Lónyál, a stupid name we give for cheap bavarages, meaning Horse saliva.

[@DigbyCCeasar]

I think I'm right that the trophy is named after the first person to complete the 5k? I did know there are a couple of hungarian jokes like the sign at the gas station with the cats on it, but I had no idea there were more like the cigarettes... 🤣

[@SONKABABY]

I don't know about the guy completing it, tbh, i didn't know there is an end to the game until your video. Pretty much the whole game is a sh*t post, almost everything you read in it is a wordplay or stupid dirty joke, but the delivery is flawless 😂

Oh yeah, aslo you can switch the location of the item on your toolbelt by having it selected, then long press on the number you want it set at! I.E.= The binoculars from slot 1 to 4....if you have 1 selected then long press 2, 3 or 4 and the item will move to that slot ! :D

Yo, Daddyo! What is that kickin’ tune during the car cleaning montage? Also, love the video! I love to attach the alarm clock in/on my vehicles dash/handlebar to see the time at a glance. Also, that “rebar” works great with pallets to attach things to your vehicle when you begin to hoard items on the outside of the vehicle, so I always bring them with me. Oh, and if you have a color of paint you love, you can refill it with any other paint canister and it goes to the original color of the first can. Put the can of paint you want on the ground to be refilled, and hold the one you want to refill with in your hand equipped and pointed at the first can. Keep tapping r to refill. I’m going off memory so the key might not be r…but eitherway the on screen text prompt lets you know what action is available. Anyways, hope to learn what that grooving tune was, and keep up the good work!

Thanks! Yeah, I use that tune a lot, it is perfect for a montage! It's a copyright free Rocky style workout tune - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaikmoR-g8SHock
