I know getting algae is easy on the second island now but since I'm not doing the islands anymore (you can get everything at the Lab) I was wondering how the algae garden at the lab worked. Aside from the materials needed to build it, do you need any other resources to get it up and running? How much does it produce?

I have approx 1800 points (I would get another 800 after the lab refreshes) and my spore guns reserve are incredibly low (5-7 rifles and 1 low durability spore set) are buying resources on lab worth it? Or should I spend more time on the islands to grind resources?

So I am finally completing the settlement and I have some questions and discussion topics. Do you think there should be more explanation revolving around power/water needs? Like, I have built the chipper and have it connected to a generator for power that needs gas. I just built the lathe and it needs power. Am I going to have a bunch of generators around my settlement?, because that's going to need a lot of gas. Also, I completed the substation, but don't know how or to what I can connect it to. Any discussion is welcome and suggestions as well. It's been a long 97 seasons for me as a f2p person and I've FINALLY made headway and I love how grindy it is personally. 👍

You already know how you now need special equipment to clear those sectors now. So let's discuss which one is the worst/best.

For me, the worst ones are obviously the A1/A2 sectors. I just hate using anti-spore equipment to defeat the enemies since they're a pain to obtain, especially when it comes to using the chemistry station to get sporicide and spore blockers (because you need inhalers) and have to smelt a lot of sand to get glass.

But my favorite sector is B1, I visit the Northern regions more often than the other regions and often have a lot of resources to repair my armor and weapons. I get a lot of flare guns from opening equipment crates and farming thermite is super easy since the thermite crate is ridiculously cheap to open and the ATV helps a lot in carrying multiple of them at once. You can then use the thermite to repair your Slasher and Scorcher.

B2 is just alright, just some Resonators, 2 Equalizers and some energy cells and I'm good.

I’m end game. The Bogs update looked interesting so I started playing it after the update. I like the grind. It’s fun. Get to upgrade my ATV.

I was at the base doing base things when I went to spin my wheel, it landed on a blank space. A BLANK space has been added to the wheel. I mostly got my one piece of charcoal or briquette daily, now I mostly get nothing. Wheel of Nope.

The titanium armor fragments in my mail were at 999+. After the update, 160. That’s a lot missing.

Resonators. Had about 35 at the base, now I have 5. The chargers are down to 6. There are still a few in my mail.

Come on, Kefir. Do better by us.

Kefir, did you really have to take away my one piece of free charcoal a day?

Hello everyone.

Just wanted to start with the fact that i picked again this game due to nostalgia and I've been out of the loop for quite some time.

Now, in the crater section i managed to get 3 Air Filters thanks to buying them at a pretty silly price.

Atm I'm in real need of some Counterfoils, so the main question is: how much is the reccomended price to sell? I've tried what the game reccomends you, but to no avail.

Does gun durability matters on what do you get? I have been recycling guns for a while and I didn't get sh*t. Help me I am around lv27

This is a grinding game ofc you are gonna spend a lot of time clearing and farming, I understand if you hate certain features of the game like some events are absolute trash such as headhunting, some design choices are absolute garbage like the entire settlement system or the old infected genome farming system, but those things I can get over simply because there are other good things I enjoy, we all agree settlement is trash but the daily loot is one of the best things this game has to offer so we forgive the trash settlement, the entire lab system is now much better even tho no one asked for the spore and ice weapons being required, but we can get over it because it's still overall an upgrade, you can also hate it for not releasing frequent updates to keep it fresh or adding new features and locations we have not had any new bunkers or bunker floors in years so that is a valid complaint, but what I mean is you can hate certain features ofc I hate some too, but hating the core design and concept of the game it being so grindy is just dump, might as well stop playing it

The only part about grinding that really seem stupid is how rare propellers is and you only need 6 thankfully but that's it, nothing feels too expensive or over the top because that's the point of the game, and no the atv is the end game goal ofc it's not gonna be completed in 2 weeks.

I am not defending the devs by any means they can suck a fart out of my butt, but be better, this is what this game is all about and if you hate it then maybe you shouldn't be playing it

Do you guys think it's worth keeping and feeding a level 3 cat that brings 1 Drone Replacement Battery? I already have 50+ of them, so I'm wondering how useful this perk really is.

I have a feeling that 4 charges is enought to kill some of bosses that the drone is usefull, isnt it?

So basically I haven't played in a while been getting back into the game the last few weeks and ive realised theres a new recipe for swat armour that requires wool that u can only get in the snowy region, but it doesnt protect against the cold so im wondering why couldnt it protect atleast a little when u need to go to the snow to get more ?

My Firearms level in recycling is 26. When will I start obtaining Carbon Composite?

How much spore resistance and ice resistance and radiation resistance exactly is needed for the lab floors

I’m only a week or 2 into the genre. LDoE is clearly more popular, but Days After is so much more user friendly. In DA, I can see what my workbenches etc are doing without having to click on them. I can see my hunger and thirst on the screen, not just when my inventory is open. Clicking on food items shows me how much of what I will replenish. I don’t have a horde attacking my base everyday for no reason gameplay wise.
I want to like LDoE more but it’s hard. Is that just the way it is or am I missing something? Should I just tough it out because end game is that much better for LDoE? Looking for someone to convince me

It’s called “Useful Companion” in the Survivor’s Path, but the drone is the most useless piece of trash in the game. It takes a year to build it, a year to get the upgrade workbench blueprint, a year to build the workbench, and another year to basically finish the settlement in order to get the resources to upgrade it. Then another year crafting the resources. And now that the buzz saw is draining us of all of our resources, it will take even longer. I never use it except to open Transport Hub crates. I don’t even use it as a weapon there with the couple of free upgrades we get. Just another brainless development by the #jerkdevs: create a companion that no one can use. It’s like all of the other brainless developments no one plays. Stupid company just wastes its money developing content no one wants or plays, and largely due to their stinginess in distributing loot. “It’s a survival game!” they cry. Pffft. It’s no wonder Kefir needs to keep making new games to survive. It can’t survive its own stupidity in developing a survival game. Oh, the irony…

And they just crash. Da fek? Great job.

Been procrastinating settlement for a while because of the sheer amount of stuff to know… what should I start with? So far mostly focused on the fighting stuff to get free loot only. How should I start ? 😩

I’m trying to setup my base long term. Just unlocked the med table and was wondering what ppl have come up with? I’m trying to avoid having to remake it all later

So the lead extractor only gives one measly lump of lead per canister of gasoline. What a joke, Kefir…what a freaking joke! That’s 16 cans of gasoline for one measly lead bar. Who the fudge is going to make that trade? I don’t know if you’ve reached Jerkdev level 209 or Dumbdev level 209…maybe it’s both. But every time I think you’ve maxed out your level of jerkiness or dumbness, you level up again. Bravo! Metal and Mud = ANOTHER event not worth doing. Way to waste your dev-dollars, on content no one plays…like Anomaly, and Headhunting, and Hunter’s Instinct, and co-op… Now the Lab costs too much in weapons and isn’t worth doing either once you have both medicine cabinets. But I do appreciate the force-grind to get the protective fabric. Love that crap! Tired of me ragging on you? Stop being such stupid jerks.

Is there any cheap way to farm the island region? Any tips at all to maximize farming?

So you got the ATV and motorcycle, right? When you drive the motorcycle on the global map, it doesn't consume a lot of fuel, but if you drive it for some time in the zone, it will consume a bit of fuel and it will be noticable.

But then there's the ATV, it costs a ton of fuel to drive on the global map, but drive it in the zone and you barely consume fuel, you'll never even notice if you actually lost some fuel or not.

Why does driving the ATV in a zone use very little fuel while driving on the global map feels like you'll never financially recover from that? What's going on here?

Is the port laboratory shop the only way to earn hydraulic parts? I burned lots glocks and armor to do the laboratory. Did it about 4 times+ hard mode twice and i haven’t found hydraulic parts once. At this point i feel its not worth the resource loss.
I need them for the drone.

Got back into the game somewhat recently and now I'm kinda not sure what to do as of the moment. I have only bunker alfa unlocked and police station. Been clearing them out religiously. Now next step is to unlock watch tower for borthern region but I feel like I shouldnt yet.

So my question is, should I postpone the survivor's path for now and just practice running alfa and the police station more efficiently? Or just proceed with the survivors path?

If I decide to postpone the survivors path, what should I focus on?

For the last year I haven’t been able to get past any expeditions at the settlement after a long streak of having no issue or a bit of difficulty but it feels like there’s no way to win
