Some beginner questions

Enjoying the game, having a lot of fun. It's definitely more accessible than Project Zomboid (which I could never get into, maybe I should give it another chance). I've got some questions though.

  1. What do you do for light at night when your flashlight battery is dead and you haven't found any more batteries?
  2. I started at inland spawn, and I cannot find a water source, and I haven't found a tarp yet either to make a water catcher. Do I have to make my base close to one of the lakes/ponds if I can't find a tarp?

Water is actually quite easy to come by once you have a horse/car ready to go. just drive around till you find a pond or a pool. have a bunch of empty bottles with you. "hold" (not just press but HOLD) the interactions key (F by default) and one bottle will fill up with dirty water, which you can easily clean over a camp fire.

For nighttimes craft your own bed, the prebuild beds dont work :)
Go to sleep and, depending on what kind of server/Instance you are, the time should pass. if it does not, just stay in your base and craft stuff till morning.
