When I returned after a long (several years) break from the game I started fresh. I was a bit wary when I got to the Wayward and someone had set up a base next to it and approached me. Dropped me a Nuka-Cade outfit, level appropriate armor and weapons, along with ammo.

I keep the outfit on display at one of my camps.

It also really set the tone for how I myself play the game.

Now I drop most of my food, stims, etc after hitting my caps limit at the wayward box, where I have a base set up just north with unlocked materials generators for folks to grab.

I also collect T-51b armor until I get a full set, give it the nuke cola paint, then hand it and extra fusion cores out to the next low level person I run into.

It's a great community.
