Heh, we got search tower AND architects study. We even found factory plans last night. However, as I say, the town is dead. What is interesting is that the stuff costs a lot less to build (the houses).

Each one of us went to a separate town, is what I meant ;)
I joined one first, then Zak, then Kling, then Mav came back recently and joined.

I'm dead! Someone left our gates open again. Last time only one person died because of some new feature that ensures not everyone dies during an attack. This time we had 11 deaths >.<

I'm not really liking the new season, it seems like survival is a lot more luck based. That wouldn't be too bad if there weren't griefers, but those guys make it even harder to stay alive now >.<

Yeah, the lack of any hacksaw or Factory is really hurting our town :(

[Zakilevo]

My town still didn't find the factory blueprint :( We have 99 wood but cant convert them into planks fast enough...

Yes, while I like the fact that it is encouraging people to camp out in the buildings, it really makes it a lot tougher.

[Bael]

Eh, had a 1 in 4 shot at LMS, but unfortunately didn't get it. Will be trying out my second town tomorrow hopefully.

PS: I really think the factory should be one of the initial blueprints available. It is an essential building, and waaay to important to be left to chance!

joined.. no clue what i'm doing..

the auto search thing... is it when you keep browser open on that page during all those hours only?

[Zakilevo]

Nah. You don't have to. Just press the button and come back after a good night sleep :)

Don't upgrade your house beyond the tent. People go all ape **** on you if you do!

Just read the forum and you will see what your town needs the most.

[fodder]

eh... why would they go ape !@#$?

[Zakilevo]

Well I don't know about it now but you used to need resources to upgrade your house after the first level (tent).

You need those resources to quickly build the town defense not some individual's house defense. If you play in a good town,

they will ban you for upgrading your house calling you 'selfish'.

There are 2 major ways to play the game I think.

One - stay in the town and help others build stuff. Like working in the construction site.

Two - Go out and gather resources. This gets very tough after day 6 or 7 if your town didn't clear zombies around the town constantly. Squares around the town will be depleted within four days if you search hard. After that you have to go even farther and if you go too far you won't be able to come back.

Those two do exist though often a builder will gather a little or some people might go 50/50.  So a pure builder would just sit in town and spend his AP on building buildings or converting useless materials into useful materials.  The pure searcher will spend all their AP going outside hitting up a bunch of regions to search and then making their way home on a different path so they can search all those spots as well because you can only search each square once a day unless you use auto search.  Most builders won't just spend all AP constructing they'll move outside of town one square and search then let their character auto search for a number of hours and move back into town then spend the rest of their AP constructing.  So on a normal day you get 6 AP when you wake, if you drink water 6 AP more, and if you eat another 6 AP and that is fairly normal to get 18 AP but easily 12 at least so a builder to spend 2 AP moving just outside of town to perhaps find 3 or more items is fairly worth it.  A builder with more scavenging in mind after a couple days see that the zones immediately around the town are depleted so you'll mostly find junkie items might spend a couple more AP moving further out of town to auto scavenge zones that aren't depleted yet.

I'll drop you an invite to our coalition - we currently only have four people. Right now is a good time to join, because a new season has just started, so a lot of people are learning about the new game (it has changed a lot).

Two important things above what has been said already: (1) if you want to go outside, make sure you plan your route properly, and that you will have enough AP to get back. (2) For now, stick to zones that have already been explored. You won't run into dangerous regions this way, and will live longer.

[Bael]

Oh yes, and read up about it. The main changes have been to building, but you can find out a lot of the other stuff by reading the wiki.

went outside... and eh... didn't get to go home... i did kill 3 zombies with a water bomb.. alas apparently wasted as i didn't live long enough... that is the same water bomb that took the water that i should have drunk on the 1st day... doh.

i've joined the coalition... i guess i'll just build stuff this time around... maybe nip out a little bit for auto search

[Zakilevo]

Just ask coalition members what you need to do... nvm you are in my coalition rofl! just ask bael what to do :)
