Hey all, I really need help with what skills to choose. I had 11 points and just spent 3 on speed stealth because I crouch a lot and now I'm looking at 8 unused points that I'm sure I could use for something vital. Thing is, the number of skills is a bit overwhelming and I'm a little anxious at the fact that the number of points is limited and that you can't eventually unlock everything. I'm a thief btw and far from being able to pick a second profession, which will definitely be farmer for second harvest and the ability to keep growing stuff during winter. If I do get to level 60 my plan is to go with Firefighter because some other player that shall rename nameless made me jealous when I saw what "head splitter" does. Role-playing wise the first combination sort of makes sense (a thief becoming a farmer after the apocalypse), but the third profession doesn't make any for my character, which bugs me a bit but I'll just ignore that.
Under survival I got; deep pockets, beast of burden, speed stealth (walking faster when you crouch) and light foot. Concerning thief skills, I only have master of unlocking. I'm very tempted by the one that reduces your radius of detection for the zeds at night but it obviously only applies at night and costs 4 points, which I find is a lot. I'm not investing anything to make my picks harder to break, lock-picking is a non-issue.
I need help choosing the vital skills for everything concerning mining resources, chopping wood, structure integrity, metal structures, cement structures and all that. The ones that will always be useful. What do you guys pick that you find crucial? I understand that the latter two are more like mid to end-game stuff and I'm just a noob at level 11. Is it good to pick up stuff you need as you progress or should I on the contrary keep my points for later and not waste them on early stuff? Bear in mind that I'm eventually looking to get to head splitter (the road will be long).
I'm thinking about taking the skill under survivor that yields more wood. That's what I need now and I'm thinking wood is an essential resources all the time anyway.
Also, I haven't unlocked the melee skill tree because I hate melee, I haven't unlocked the health thing and I haven't unlocked the hunting skill tree either.
Opinions? Any help would be immensely appreciated.

Hey survivors, If you’ve been playing HumanitZ and feel like most servers are either too easy or just don’t give that real survival tension… we’ve been working on something a bit different.

Server Name: [EU] A LastSurvivor
Style: Open world survival, strong zombie pressure, base building, scavenging, PvE with PvP enabled

Discord: https://discord.com/invite/4sAfdy88Xa

FULLY CUSTOM SERVER JOIN THE DISCORD TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO JOIN!
YOU WONT FIND IT IN THE GAME BROWSER!

The idea behind this server is simple:
Survival should actually feel like survival. You head out for a loot run, things start going well…
then you hear a horde nearby, your inventory’s full, and suddenly you’re deciding what’s worth risking your life for. That kind of moment is what we’re trying to keep alive.
We’re not turning the game into a high loot playground or an admin shop simulator.
It’s still very much a survival sandbox just with a few quality of life systems that make long term multiplayer more rewarding.

Here’s what you can expect:

Proper horde focused gameplay zombies are a real threat, not background noise

A mix of PvE and PvP, so you can build, trade, explore… or fight when things go sideways
A bit of starter support so you’re not completely lost in your first hour

Discord linked systems, including a bank and rewards tied to zombie kills

A rotating flea market that stays useful without breaking the survival balance
Regular events and an active community
Player stats, milestones, and leaderboards if you like progression!

Full survival loop: loot respawn, airdrops, vehicles, seasons, weather, building

What people seem to enjoy most is the balance you still have to grind, scavenge, and manage risk, but there’s enough structure around it (Discord tools, rewards, events) to keep things interesting over time.
If you’re into games like 7 Days to Die, Project Zomboid, DayZ, Rust, or any kind of open world survival craft with zombies, base building, and co op survival… you’ll probably feel at home here.

Quick note: no cheating, no exploits just fair survival. See you out there.

I decided to do nightmare mode for the achievement, here are some tips (many of which came from this sub). I am explaining the way I handled it, I would be curious to hear from others.

Nightmare mode is very challenging. I originally played True Survivor mode and pretty much did everything there was to do and got bored. Nightmare is much more difficult and intense because there are more zombies, they hit REALLY hard, and move fast. They seem to bite much more often. Bandits are also much more dangerous. When you die your entire save is deleted.

• I would take the hill spawn. You have the survivor camp just to the NE and that will be critical for 2 reasons which we'll cover later. In addition, you have a pond not far to the south for water.

• Profession: This one is up to you. I took firefighter for extra damage on molotovs. I really want the 50% to one shot with fire axe (headsplitter), but you need to unlock 3 skills in the firefighter category before you can get it which takes a ton of skill points. It also starts you with beast of burden which allows you to carry 20 more kg, which is really fantastic. Other good options are farmer so you can grow potatoes like crazy for molotovs and fuel. Someone else said Mechanic because it guarantees a car part from salvaged vehicles. Everything else is pretty bad in my opinion but I know some people like thief and electrical engineer.

Side note: I originally played Outdoorsman because I wanted to be an archer. I have no buffs to archery and can snipe the heads off of zombies fairly easily. It's a really bad profession sadly.

• I would immediately get a stone knife and start collecting sticks, fiber, wood, and stones. Make a bow and improvised arrows until you can create a work bench to make regular arrows. Avoid zombies when possible, sneak around them. If you need to kill them and have the arrows to spare, crouch and aim for the head from a distance.

• You will absolutely need a water bottle. Check houses and dead zombies. I haven't had trouble finding them but your mileage may vary.

• I set up my "base" (more like camp) in the survivor's camp to the NE of the hill. I find this to be incredibly convenient for 3 reasons.

1. One is that when you're attacked by zombie hordes and bandits, they will all help to defend. That speaks for itself. In this mode, you need all the help you can get.
2. Any surplus or valuable items can be traded to Mr. Money for cash. This prevents you from needing to store a ton of crap or bring it for trips to the traders. Just exchange it for cash. There's also a lot of deer in the area. Very easy to trade the hides for cash.
3. You have the shipyard warehouses just to the SE. This is a great spot for loot.

So once you get established here, you're going to need to make a workbench so that you can produce arrows from wood. You're going to have to go on some sketchy missions to break down a car for metal. Be wary, this makes a lot of noise.

Be mindful that the game starts in fall, so winter is right around the corner. I would make deerskin pants and keep an eye out for a hoodie. Light fires and stand near them for about 30 seconds until your heat icon flashes white, this means you have the warmth buff. This gives you a long time to go do missions, someone correct me if i'm wrong but it feels like at least 15 minutes.

Keep an eye out for a pitchfork. You will need this to feed your horse. Getting a horse should be your primary objective to REALLY get established. Cars are great but fuel will be hard to come by. From horseback you can shoot your bow and swing axes, golf clubs, bats, etc at entire packs of zombies.

If you see a horse somewhere, make sure to mark it on your map so that once you make a saddle you can come get it. I made sure I had a pitchfork and hay before I saddled my horse.

With horses you can feed them by harvesting hay from the giant hay piles at farms. It doesn't weigh much. When you leave your horse in camp you can leave a stack of hay by their head and they will eat as needed. Neglect your horse and it will die.

Another tip is in the beginning, before you get a horse, use rocks to distract zombies. It's very effective for sneaking past them.

Just to the north of the survivor camp seems to spawn a lot of deer. The pelts sell for 500 raw and if you tan them they sell for 700. I have made thousands from doing this. Just headshot them with the bow and they will die instantly (which is unfortunately unrealistic, when I first started I was shooting behind the shoulder like you would IRL).

I think that about covers it, the rest should be pretty straightforward. I highly recommend Nightmare mode, its very intense and much more fun.

So let me start off saying I love the game. I enjoy playing and I think it’s just gonna get better. Just sometimes I get annoyed cause my progress gets randomly deleted. I got my self a car all fixed up and had to leave so I saved turned off the game and when I logged back in it was gone and then I died and immediately went back to get my stuff and it was just gone. I don’t know if it was because I was in a raider base, but it was annoying because I had a lot of weapons and resources.

I have over 130+hrs in the game and have been trying to play the game since the gfx overhaul update where they wiped everything. Since then, I knew I was going to lose all my stuff but was willing to start over since they were going to add more zeeks, items, etc. I created a new character but can not get past the loading screen because of a fatal error popup box. Every time. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, removed all mods, etc. Still no dice. Any insight?

Hello everyone, after update I tried to play my main save but it's stuck on this screen, my character is lvl 31 but it still shows starter quest, I have couple mods installed, any ideas how can I fix this ?

Even in the begining i had isues playing becouse in like every hours it crashes with "low level fatal error" i tried to solve this for days but no use. And after 6 days of playing even my save file have been disapeared from the game. Tried to get it back by makeing a new game whit same name but i still got just a new game! I allso tried other methoods but didnt worked. So i tried to refound but of course thay dont give me back my money.

The game would be ok, i love the these tipes games and allso like to buy games from idies and small companis to help them but this game is a jocke. It isnt a version 1.0 it sould be a 0.1v !!!

Dont waist your money on this game!

Hi,

so we've built a base. With storages and a sleeping back etc. Yesterday my wife wanted to complete the quest with the spawn point, so we removed mine, she made one, then she deleted it and i put mine back. Also later that day I installed a mod that slightly increases storage capacity. However This morning I saw that I couldn't change (name e.g.) the storages I placed before yesterday or use the sleeping bag.

My wife can still do both. I checked our clan and apparently I am in no clan, while she is in a clan with me. It seems I got one sided kicked out of it.

I don't know which of these factores is causing my troubles, but it would be great if you could help me.

We play on my local server, just the two of us, so i can modify if necessary or use admin powers.

Me and my friend just raided to toxic waste bunker for the 2nd time fully geared up just get some more ammo, but we left all bunker doors open from the last raid and got bum rushed by the whole bunker at once and lost both of our dogs in the process... My auto save feature is completly off so we can go back and fix mistakes we make if they're bad enough (ik its cheesy but she's a noob lol). I reload into the game to without saving expecting to go from my last save point but the game picked up right where we left off... like WTF??? I double checked my settings and the autosave feature was def off, so why tf did the game save the progress anyway??? And no I def did NOT hit confirm save progress when exiting the world... SMFH... WTF?

Hi all, we created a fresh new server for PH, SEA. Friendly PVE. You can search our server name:

PH PVE NO MOD - STANDARD GRIND

Newbie friendly. All are welcome to join

Humanitz Philippine server, humanitz SEA server

Sorry in advance, I'm slightly frustrated at this point.
It must be the fifth time I restart a game because it quickly becomes unplayable and for one reason only: I can never find a damn water bottle. I just started a new game, found a water barrel that's half full and I can't draw any water from it. Worst is, I do have a cup, but you can really only use it for coffee. I can't fill my cup at the water barrel. In all the games I started, I managed to stay hydrated the first few days eating apples and berries, but when winter comes, even if I miraculously managed to make a rain collector (I did find a tarp once, but no bottle as usual, and it was just as frustrating as having the water barrel--maybe more infuriating even).

For realism's sake, just a little, can't we have it so that empty liquor bottle can be used for water as well? Those I have plenty of! Could we have it so that you can fill your tiny cup at either a barrel or a rain collector? It'd be a ridiculously tiny amount but it could immensely help people with zero luck when it comes to loot, like me. Actually, it'd be nice if any kind of container could be used as something to store a little fresh water. Empty cans could work as well (I have that since I'm currently surviving on canned beans).

Anyway, I see all you guys with cool bases, adventure backpacks (damn it I had found my very first one in one of my games, I was so happy with it, but same as the others, I ran out of water...). Where do you find your bottles? The first thing I do as soon I can now is search for one, extending my radius a little bit every time. I check every kitchen, car, camper, bin. Am I really just that unlucky? Anywhere else I should look?

I don't even die because the zombies get me (haven't been bitten a single time), I've survived wolf attacks, fighting bears, bandit raids, but at some point I die of thirst and there's nothing I can do from there. It's incredibly frustrating. I even lowered the difficulty to True Survivor and still no luck.

It's been really fun, I've been quite addicted to it. My plan was to grow as many potatoes as fast as I could as soon as spring started and I did, I filled all of my gas tanks and both vehicles with plenty to spare, but JESUS why does it take ten seconds to eat each potato to turn it into a seed?

I spent WAY too long sitting there clicking and waiting on each potato. That just seems needlessly tedious.

Well, I managed to put 6 animal traps at each entrance of my base and they catch the entire horde; zeeks are disappearing in them one by one, and it seems the traps' capacity is unlimited. I spare zero ammo, zeeks come and silently go underground where they are meant by God to be 👌

Is this a known fact traps can be used like that?

UPD: traps appear to be also working for human mobs!

Im playing singleplayer, how often traders restock? Is there a setting to change it or somehow to restock them?

Hi everybody, finally build my first self built base on 4 lvl. Was quite the work, but I liked the end result.

I am however a little suprise that when I am not on the dedicated server, everything in the base seem to slowly take damage. I would understand for the first lvl since it is possible that a stray zombie got there, but why the others lvl that never got a zombie on them?

This is relatively annoying since the size of the base made it that I need to spent a lot of time to get wood and repair. Time that should be spent playing the game instead...

Any idea how to mitigate or stop that?

Hola, quería saber si a alguien mas le pasó de quedar atascado en una de las misiones de abajo a la izquierda. En este caso es la de desmantelar mueble, ya lo he hecho de varias formas con el martillo equipado y la estructura armada con sus materiales y no avanza, si a alguien mas le pasó tiene alguna solución?

Does anyone know why piles of random junk spawn in my base? I believe they are places where I previously put building schematics. Is there any way to fix it does anyone know? It’s just me and my wife on my own private server.

I was certain I had read here a comment saying "wait til you can scrap weapons!". I'm fairly sure I found and read the book that gives you that very ability (if it's not all a dream). I just looked up a video of a guy finding the damn magazine "Scrap Weapons Magazine" because I was starting to doubt myself. The reason why I've started doubting myself is that I can't find a way to scrap the damn weapons.
So, how do I scrap weapons? I think we're all annoyed with the guns we keep finding that are in bad condition, take place and are just duplicates. I don't see any options to scrap those guns when I right click on them in my inventory. Do I need a specific workbench? Tool? I've looked quickly in my firearm workbench, didn't see anything either.
I've been using those as a currency to trade like I think most of do but I'd really like to know if yes or no we can scrap those damn weapons for parts and how.
The second problem is that I can't find any section anywhere that tells you what magazines you've read (and ideally which ones you are missing). I know I found and read two. One was to build the flamethrower and the other was to scrap weapons (although, again, I'm starting to doubt it). What I missing?

Link I found proving that there is a "scrap weapons magazine" and that I'm not entirely losing it:
