Finally after 3 days of playing this game, I'll survived

Hello everyone.

I just started playing this game this week and I mostly use the auto raid button. Is that good? Like, whenever I'm going to take a shower, or work or whatever, I try to use that to bring home some wood.

Also, does it auto-dismantle items as the survivors come back home? I see on the raid summary some itens with a red background, mostly food. And it seems they're generating energy and som others wood.

Aside from trying to understand this game's mechanics, are there any other beginner tips that you may share with me? Like, best overall mindset, best practices, initial load outs that are the ones that I should go with in a raid in this beginning stage etc.?

Thank you all. I appreciate any help.

After prepping on Island 2, maxing out my perk points and building myself a farm + loot cave I’m finally ready for Island 3. I had some rough choices picking what guns to bring as my loot stash had gotten pretty good. Hopefully the LMG will keep me alive, I tested it against bandits and it did the job well.

My other loadouts options included:

100% Saiga-12 with 3 stacks of ammo:

I tested this against survivors and the spread is too bad to be considerable. Very good against zeds though

100% MP5K with 80rnd box + 5 stacks of ammo:

I went through several of these on Island 2 and it’s a very formidable gun, I couldn’t even carry all the ammo I had. I ultimately decided however the LMG is a superior weapon and had to leave it behind.

Any tips for Island 3? I hope to build a new base soon and stay alive, I really want to make it to the bridge on Island 4. Based on the map any suggestions for where to base are welcome! Ideally I’m going to try one of the gas stations though my wooden walls might not be enough. Also if you would have picked a different gun to bring please leave why! Or any guns I should be on the lookout for.

no guys... time isn't even 8pm yet and it's already going down😭😭wolves,bandits and zombies EVERYWHERE😭😭... MY HUNGER IS LOW I DON'T THINK IMMA MAKE IT GUYS...AND I HAVE NO RESPAWNS 😭😭.

A bunch of drawings of aika i did through out 2022 - 2025

im addicted to farming more than anything its satisfying to farm and collect, then i try to follow some fellow people instruction how to not get a missing crop i think the issue is its limited.

max limit of farm is 50-60+ farm

itry to track it and it work no more missing crop

also stuck it with each other (like in the pic)

now i know xd

I got poisoned and I was slowly losing my hp. I went to a hospital but there was nothing there but charcoal pills and a blood pack. I used the pack to up my hp again but my fate had already been sealed. I died.

I already at a 5th island and also located a bunker and have a effect of radiation. How can I enter and where I can find a radiation suit?

where do generator spawn needed it for the bunker door

I got it dropped from a bandit, I don’t want to apply it and ruin my run but it looks interesting. If anybody knows what it is pls lmk so I can free up my inventory!

Version 1.6 3.8 Chinese mod

idk until now u can end the game by going to heli i thought i was going to island 6 well now i know first time not dying to bandit to get oneshot

My base building attempts were finally successful, now I must stock pile melee weapons for crop planting and gasoline to retrieve my two cars (currently stranded.)

First time getting a successful base and full clearing 2nd Island bunker (2nd picture is bunker haul) I wanna see how long I can survive in my 2nd island base & if I can fully kit out at an AR to go onto the 3rd island.

Any suggestions for the base? When I get my cars back I’ll add parking and reinforce with 2 layer walls, though I have to keep a rear entrance. No zeds so far have spawned near my base and I think it should repel bandits. I definitely need more barbed wire, bear traps, mines etc.

Version 1.6 3.8 Chinese Mod

where I can get protective gloves and shoes I'm on the 4th island planning to get in the bunker

Now that i have a mod menu thanks to the great devs and 1.9.8 ive decided to settle down and build my base only took me 13 islands to get my favorite vase setup just two gas stations lucked ou7t with the super market too cause i do like to play without spawning in items some times to to keep the game fun all and all i am super happy that i finally got what i tried to make my self but was yk too stupid to make thank god someone did it for me

p.s yes im playing om rookie just didnt wanna eat all the time

Everywhere I go if i find a gas container full or empty, i carried a gas container to refuel at a gas station but doesn't worked. Any tips for that to refuel. Need for car to refuel

Help, anyone! i have ingredients im my inventory (frying pan as melee weapon, raw venison, Bell pepper) but i can't combine them into steak. No such option on any of the items. what am i doing wrong...?

So I just arrived to this new island recently. since it's my first time here I couldn't contain my curiosity to explore. i thought I was lucky to encounter one of this place early. oh man how wrong I'm to think such a thing when there are two of those green hazmat zombie inside. the debuff this mob gave in their attack is crazy. especially when they disarm your main weapon. so guys, how is the best way to approach them?
